1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,400 Oh, like this. 2 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:15,880 Windows 10's global market share has risen to 70% of desktop Windows systems, the same 3 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:22,840 month that Windows 11 fell to under 26%, its lowest market share since last September, 4 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:27,920 implying that a good chunk of Windows users took a peek at the future and did not like 5 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,960 what they saw, ads everywhere, crying infants, they're crying about the ads. 6 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,960 This stat comes from the appropriately named stat counter, and yes, it's somewhat unsurprising 7 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,480 when we're talking about an operating system that needs a plugin to remove all of the baked 8 00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:48,240 in ads. I don't know, maybe Microsoft hasn't prioritized fixing Windows 11 because they're so focused 9 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:54,600 on security as evidenced by a leaked memo from CEO Satya Nadella commanding employees 10 00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:00,600 to prioritize security over literally everything else, even support for legacy features, which 11 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,400 I guess includes a settings app that I can use without getting so frustrated I end up 12 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,800 speaking to my wife in an elevated tone. We've talked about this. 13 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,520 Microsoft is so super serial about security that they've said some of their executives' 14 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,680 pay will be tied to whether the company hits certain security milestones. 15 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,800 They may have just missed one, as a recent update to both Windows 10 and 11 broke some 16 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:29,760 customers' VPNs. Microsoft, it might just be time to cut your losses and move on to Windows 12. 17 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,880 What's that? First, you're going to try releasing a bunch of new Windows 11 laptops and branding them 18 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,080 AI PCs with a special co-pilot key to justify higher prices? 19 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:44,600 Okay, worth a shot. AMD revealed in their Q1 earnings report that sales of the company's gaming products, including 20 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,920 desktop radio and graphics cards, as well as custom processors made for consoles and 21 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:58,440 handhelds, is down 48% compared to last year, a figure that includes a 33% decline from Q4 2023. 22 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:03,560 Now, you could say, hey, it ain't easy being green, but AMD is team red. 23 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,600 Being green would be much easier in this case. NVIDIA's having a great time. 24 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,160 While AMD has managed to squeeze some impressive performance into the chips powering the Steam 25 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:17,520 Deck and its imitators, their strategy for desktop GPUs seems to have consisted of launching 26 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:23,800 a card for too high of a price and then reducing it until it's maybe worth buying instead 27 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,320 of the NVIDIA alternative. But there is a light on the horizon. 28 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:34,400 Mostly pretty accurate leaker, Kepler says that AMD's next-gen RDNA4 GPUs will feature 29 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:40,160 a brand new ray tracing system, as opposed to RDNA3, which was a simpler, iterative 30 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,080 improvement over RDNA2. 31 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,000 Wait till the investors hear that upcoming product will be better than current product. 32 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:55,200 That'll turn things around. And Apple, the second most valuable company in the world, also had a bit of a sad earnings 33 00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:03,200 call. Compared to last year, the tech giant's overall Q2 revenue is down 4% to 90.75 billion. 34 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,600 No, it's not right. They give me my blue bubbles. 35 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,560 Fortunately for Apple, their earnings are actually slightly better than analysts anticipated, 36 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,320 given how poorly iPhones, iPads, and wearables have been selling. 37 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,520 So Apple stock actually shot up in the wake of the news. 38 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,600 Apple taking $110 billion worth of their own stock off the market and the largest share 39 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,760 buyback in US history may have also had something to do with that. 40 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:33,120 But who can say? It's a bit weird to see Apple making less money than usual, but to be fair, they appear 41 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,000 to be missing out on their cut of in-app purchases from TikTok. 42 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,160 If we can trust these screenshots of the app directing users to go purchase coins on 43 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:48,040 tiktok.com instead. This week, Apple also decided to skip collecting its controversial because it's stupid core 44 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:54,520 technology fee from developers of free iOS apps in the EU instead of demanding a 50 euro 45 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,080 cent cut of every free app install. 46 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:04,160 Look, it made sense at the time. Apple is also giving developers who meet a certain smallness threshold three years of 47 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,280 grace before they have to start paying up. Yep, Apple is basically poor now. 48 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,000 So it's time to launch some new iPads at the Apple event next week, where the company 49 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,120 is expected to reveal new iPad Pros and iPad Airs, possibly with an M4 chip. 50 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:23,000 And if the customers don't go for those, well, Apple can always just press the make rich 51 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:29,800 button again. It's always there. In order to introduce the QuickBits, I have to say something like, and now the QuickBits. 52 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:35,720 So I'll just, oh, oh, I already, that was, Intel is apparently making yet another change 53 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:43,240 to their processor naming scheme. Reliable leaker Raichu claims the new Aero Lake S desktop lineup will feature the Core 54 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:52,240 Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K, and Core Ultra 5 255K skews. 55 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,320 That's right, Intel decided to make their desktop processor names, the ones people could 56 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,920 feasibly understand, sound like their mobile processor names, the names that are about 57 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,640 as comprehensible as a tongueless Welshman after his 10th beer. 58 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:10,560 I mean, shouldn't go that far. And that's not even a fair comparison because that Welshman wouldn't cost hundreds of dollars 59 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,400 to hang out with. In fact, he'd probably pay for a couple of your drinks. He's a nice guy. 60 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,400 Okay. Well, there we go. Yeah, but who stole his tongue? 61 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:23,160 Nintendo is continuing to DMCA anyone and everyone they feel like. 62 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,840 It's Nintendo's world. And we just try to play games in it. 63 00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:31,840 The company filed a single notice at GitHub, which triggered a chain reaction that took 64 00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:36,880 down 8,535 forks of the Yuzu emulator. 65 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,560 In addition to attempting to wipe every trace of Yuzu from the internet, Nintendo is also 66 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,640 going after Migswitch, a flash cartridge for the Nintendo Switch console. 67 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:52,560 At least 75 sites reselling the product have been de-indexed from Google search at Nintendo's 68 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:58,560 request. And while the company carries out this bureaucratic carpet bombing, Yuzu and Migswitch's respective 69 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:05,760 alternatives, Ryu Jinx and Unlock Switch, are just kind of hanging out, aka trembling 70 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,360 in fear, hiding in the bunker. Hackers be hacking. 71 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:15,400 We all know that. But apparently sometimes two hackers will wind up trying to compromise the same router 72 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:20,600 at the same time, which they typically deal with by either one letting the other use the 73 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:26,160 router for a fee or both finding their own way to break into the device and using it 74 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:32,080 at the same time. That's apparently because even rival cybercriminals have a shared interest in there being lots 75 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,880 and lots of compromised routers. And also they're in love with each other. 76 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,560 It's a love-hate relationship. Claudio, what are you doing here? 77 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,880 I'm hacking the bank. I told you I never wanted to see you again. 78 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,440 Now that's all according to a report, even the Spanish accent, from cyber security researchers 79 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,800 Fernando Merseys, maybe, I don't know. 80 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,000 And uh, Feek Hackboard. 81 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,520 Yeah, that's an actual name. He looked it up and it's apparently Dutch, so I was way off. 82 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,120 I will hack all the boards in the world. 83 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:08,440 Following the leak of the Android Launcher app for the Rabbit R1 Not-An-Android-A-iPhone 84 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:14,800 thing, a software dev has added insult to injury by reverse engineering the R1 software 85 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,400 into a progressive web app and then demoed it running on an iPhone. 86 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:25,040 The APK was also dissected by the team at EmergeTools.com who confirmed that yes, the 87 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,400 R1 runs Android, along with some other findings. 88 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:34,240 Look, I just hope the Rabbit R1 goes down in history as the most beautiful, cool-looking, 89 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,440 desirable thing that is just a phone but worse in history. 90 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:42,720 It was $200 and a lot of people wanted it and bought it and then we moved on. 91 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:49,120 And Boston Dynamics has given their unsettling spot RoboDog a friendly new look, adding muppet-like 92 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:55,920 eyes, ears, and sparkly fur. Though its spindly legs still end in the usual rubber doorstop nubs. 93 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,680 It's giving horrifying cyborg from Half-Life. 94 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:07,920 The company even had Spot's new drag persona, Sparkles, perform a short skit slash dance 95 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:15,160 routine with the original Spotbot. The routine was apparently programmed into the robots using Choreographer, a dance system 96 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,640 that Boston Dynamics made for customers in the entertainment industry. 97 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:24,400 I don't know. I'm not sure I'd feel better after getting disemboweled by a rogue dogbot if it then gloated 98 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,440 about it by moonwalking away from my shattered body. 99 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,480 Oh, that's cute. 100 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:35,760 But I'll be equally shattered if you don't come back on Monday for more tech news, emotionally 101 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,760 and physically. It happens. 102 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:39,260 I won't explain it.
