WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.400 Oh, like this. 00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:15.880 Windows 10's global market share has risen to 70% of desktop Windows systems, the same 00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:22.840 month that Windows 11 fell to under 26%, its lowest market share since last September, 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 00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:32.960 what they saw, ads everywhere, crying infants, they're crying about the ads. 00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:37.960 This stat comes from the appropriately named stat counter, and yes, it's somewhat unsurprising 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 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 00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:54.600 on security as evidenced by a leaked memo from CEO Satya Nadella commanding employees 00:00:54.680 --> 00:01:00.600 to prioritize security over literally everything else, even support for legacy features, which 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 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.800 speaking to my wife in an elevated tone. We've talked about this. 00:01:07.800 --> 00:01:12.520 Microsoft is so super serial about security that they've said some of their executives' 00:01:12.520 --> 00:01:17.680 pay will be tied to whether the company hits certain security milestones. 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 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. 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 00:01:33.880 --> 00:01:38.080 AI PCs with a special co-pilot key to justify higher prices? 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 00:01:44.600 --> 00:01:48.920 desktop radio and graphics cards, as well as custom processors made for consoles and 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. 00:01:58.440 --> 00:02:03.560 Now, you could say, hey, it ain't easy being green, but AMD is team red. 00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:07.600 Being green would be much easier in this case. NVIDIA's having a great time. 00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:12.160 While AMD has managed to squeeze some impressive performance into the chips powering the Steam 00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:17.520 Deck and its imitators, their strategy for desktop GPUs seems to have consisted of launching 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 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:28.320 of the NVIDIA alternative. But there is a light on the horizon. 00:02:28.320 --> 00:02:34.400 Mostly pretty accurate leaker, Kepler says that AMD's next-gen RDNA4 GPUs will feature 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:40.160 a brand new ray tracing system, as opposed to RDNA3, which was a simpler, iterative 00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:45.080 improvement over RDNA2. 00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:49.000 Wait till the investors hear that upcoming product will be better than current product. 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 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. 00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:06.600 No, it's not right. They give me my blue bubbles. 00:03:06.600 --> 00:03:11.560 Fortunately for Apple, their earnings are actually slightly better than analysts anticipated, 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:15.320 given how poorly iPhones, iPads, and wearables have been selling. 00:03:15.320 --> 00:03:18.520 So Apple stock actually shot up in the wake of the news. 00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:23.600 Apple taking $110 billion worth of their own stock off the market and the largest share 00:03:23.600 --> 00:03:27.760 buyback in US history may have also had something to do with that. 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 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:37.000 to be missing out on their cut of in-app purchases from TikTok. 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:41.160 If we can trust these screenshots of the app directing users to go purchase coins on 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 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 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:58.080 cent cut of every free app install. 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 00:04:04.160 --> 00:04:08.280 grace before they have to start paying up. Yep, Apple is basically poor now. 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 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:18.120 is expected to reveal new iPad Pros and iPad Airs, possibly with an M4 chip. 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 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. 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 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 00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:52.240 Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K, and Core Ultra 5 255K skews. 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:56.320 That's right, Intel decided to make their desktop processor names, the ones people could 00:04:56.320 --> 00:05:00.920 feasibly understand, sound like their mobile processor names, the names that are about 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.640 as comprehensible as a tongueless Welshman after his 10th beer. 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 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. 00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:17.400 Okay. Well, there we go. Yeah, but who stole his tongue? 00:05:17.400 --> 00:05:23.160 Nintendo is continuing to DMCA anyone and everyone they feel like. 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:26.840 It's Nintendo's world. And we just try to play games in it. 00:05:26.840 --> 00:05:31.840 The company filed a single notice at GitHub, which triggered a chain reaction that took 00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:36.880 down 8,535 forks of the Yuzu emulator. 00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:41.560 In addition to attempting to wipe every trace of Yuzu from the internet, Nintendo is also 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:46.640 going after Migswitch, a flash cartridge for the Nintendo Switch console. 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 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:58.560 request. And while the company carries out this bureaucratic carpet bombing, Yuzu and Migswitch's respective 00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:05.760 alternatives, Ryu Jinx and Unlock Switch, are just kind of hanging out, aka trembling 00:06:05.760 --> 00:06:09.360 in fear, hiding in the bunker. Hackers be hacking. 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 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 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 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 00:06:32.080 --> 00:06:35.880 and lots of compromised routers. And also they're in love with each other. 00:06:35.880 --> 00:06:39.560 It's a love-hate relationship. Claudio, what are you doing here? 00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.880 I'm hacking the bank. I told you I never wanted to see you again. 00:06:42.880 --> 00:06:47.440 Now that's all according to a report, even the Spanish accent, from cyber security researchers 00:06:47.440 --> 00:06:51.800 Fernando Merseys, maybe, I don't know. 00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:55.000 And uh, Feek Hackboard. 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. 00:06:59.520 --> 00:07:03.120 I will hack all the boards in the world. 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 00:07:08.440 --> 00:07:14.800 thing, a software dev has added insult to injury by reverse engineering the R1 software 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:19.400 into a progressive web app and then demoed it running on an iPhone. 00:07:19.400 --> 00:07:25.040 The APK was also dissected by the team at EmergeTools.com who confirmed that yes, the 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:28.400 R1 runs Android, along with some other findings. 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, 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:37.440 desirable thing that is just a phone but worse in history. 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. 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:49.120 And Boston Dynamics has given their unsettling spot RoboDog a friendly new look, adding muppet-like 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. 00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.680 It's giving horrifying cyborg from Half-Life. 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:07.920 The company even had Spot's new drag persona, Sparkles, perform a short skit slash dance 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 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.640 that Boston Dynamics made for customers in the entertainment industry. 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 00:08:24.400 --> 00:08:27.440 about it by moonwalking away from my shattered body. 00:08:27.440 --> 00:08:30.480 Oh, that's cute. 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 00:08:35.760 --> 00:08:38.760 and physically. It happens. 00:08:38.760 --> 00:08:39.260 I won't explain it.
