1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,200
Apple's WWDC keynote ended with one more thing

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:08,440
that took up almost half the length of the live stream. I'm Riley, this is TechLinked,

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,420
and this is the Vision Pro, Apple's long rumored headset

4
00:00:12,420 --> 00:00:15,840
that Tim Cook is a little too excited about.

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,560
The Mixed Reality headset starts at $3,500,

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,000
but it'll cost more if you wear glasses because you'll apparently have to buy

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,240
prescription lens inserts for the crime of being born into a weak genetic line.

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,600
I messed up and already had a kid. Apple is telling me that was a mistake.

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,520
The Vision Pro features a higher than 4K micro OLED display

10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,920
for each eye and audio pods for spatial audio.

11
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,320
Apparently the pods match the sound to your room's features

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,640
and materials using audio ray tracing,

13
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,600
which is totally real and will definitely affect your ears frame rate.

14
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,480
So make sure you get NVIDIA's DLSS hearing aids.

15
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,880
That will stop the pain. The headset contains a buttload of cameras and sensors

16
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,920
so you can control it with just your eyes and hands.

17
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,080
Take 3D pictures and record 3D videos with spatial audio.

18
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,960
Now the only thing stopping you from making the immersive sex tape of your dreams

19
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:14,760
is convincing a human being to sleep with you while you're wearing what looks like a pair of,

20
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,600
albeit very nice, ski goggles. If you'd rather not be reminded

21
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:23,480
that you probably look like a dork, environments will allow you to block out the outside world

22
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,000
while still allowing you to see people when they get close to you.

23
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,720
Which is never. I'm so alone. To see whether this is really happening.

24
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,360
Are you doing this? That's why you never let people get close to you.

25
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,160
And those people will be able to see your eyes projected onto the exterior screen,

26
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:45,240
which I can imagine will both help and hamper social interactions.

27
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,600
Like your eyes are gonna be this removed from your face.

28
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,360
The device is kept secure with optic ID which recognizes your iris.

29
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,880
So no one can see all the videos of you failing to convince people to sleep

30
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,280
with you while you wear your Vision Pro. It's hard enough as is.

31
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,760
Hey, I have a proposition for you.

32
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:09,880
Apple also made some major Mac announcements today, including a brand new 15 inch MacBook Air.

33
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,840
Apparently it's the world's best 15 inch laptop. And I believe that because a man apparently named

34
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,240
John Ternus said it twice in three minutes.

35
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,240
He's no Craig Federighi, but he's doing his best. That's what matters.

36
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,840
I'm cheering for the turn. To be fair, it'll have the power of an M2 chip,

37
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,600
two extra inches of screen real estate, and yet, according to Apple,

38
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,960
will still achieve up to 18 hours of battery life.

39
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,680
This is a feat a Windows laptop hasn't achieved since that time hell froze over.

40
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,680
Because it hasn't, it's never happened.

41
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,520
Apple is also refreshing their Mac Studio lineup with their brand new M2 Ultra chip.

42
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,840
They developed without any CIA brainwashing at all.

43
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,720
Some LSD though. Probably because it's just two M2 Macs chips

44
00:02:53,760 --> 00:03:00,340
smushed together. And you're not gonna believe this, but Apple says the Ultra is twice as fast as the Macs.

45
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,160
All for a low price of $4,000 if you wanted in the Mac Studio that is.

46
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,400
But why buy that when you can buy the new Mac Pro

47
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:14,760
with the same chip, but more Thunderbolt ports and six PCIe Gen 4 slots

48
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,920
in the same Swiss cheese chassis you know and love.

49
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:21,800
According to the presentation, if you put six video IO cards in the Mac Pro,

50
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:27,720
you can ingest 24 4K camera feeds and encode them to ProRes in real time.

51
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:32,120
Why would you do that? You better think of a reason quick, otherwise you're gonna look very foolish

52
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,480
for spending at least $7,000 on a new Mac Pro. You don't even work with video.

53
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,680
You're an air conditioning technician. What were you thinking?

54
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:45,080
HVACs don't need VACs. And Apple also announced major updates to all their OSes.

55
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,760
iOS 17 will let you customize a contact poster

56
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:54,520
that other iPhone users will see when you call them, opening up a prime new avenue for trolling.

57
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,360
Apple introduced live voicemail, which is basically Pixel phone's call screening,

58
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,200
but better because you get to keep the voicemail after.

59
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,440
Great for spam message collectors. Also, Apple is putting transformer language models

60
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,280
into their auto correct and dictation features to make their results more accurate

61
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,840
and personalized to you. We put LLMs in your keyboard.

62
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,840
I'm sure this will go fine. For iPadOS, Apple decided to skip over

63
00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:22,480
how Craig Federighi can somehow apparently harness the force

64
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,840
so they could focus on what we really care about, widgets.

65
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:30,680
And when Craig was done talking about widgets on iPad, he came back to introduce macOS Sonoma

66
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:35,320
so he could finally dive deep into what users really wanna see, widgets,

67
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,080
including widgets for Apollo for Reddit, which would be great to use until the Reddit API costs

68
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,240
shut the app down. Too soon.

69
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,200
The biggest announcement, however, was that Apple remembered about video games.

70
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:52,040
Sonoma has a new game mode that prioritizes game performance like Windows does,

71
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,440
but sleeker. More brush dilumia.

72
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,200
It's just better in some way. They even brought Hideo Kojima on

73
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,140
to announce death stranding for Mac and got him to encourage other developers

74
00:05:04,140 --> 00:05:09,360
to also bring their games to the Mac, presumably using Apple's new game porting toolkit

75
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,920
that will make porting easier.

76
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:18,240
This, it's happening. Perhaps coincidentally, or perhaps not crossover a third-party software

77
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,960
that allows Windows applications to run on macOS, also announced DirectX 12 support.

78
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,000
Apple's serious about AR, Apple's serious about gaming now, what's next?

79
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,960
A tech news roundup show? Please don't. Come at me, Tim Cook.

80
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,120
No, he scares me. Confession time, everybody.

81
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:43,080
There's only four quick bits, but that's because the front half was a bigger slice of beef cake than Dwayne Johnson.

82
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,840
He's... What was that, Riley?

83
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,400
He's in the fast movies. Is that Dwayne Johnson? Oh, I'm Dwayne the Rock.

84
00:05:54,400 --> 00:06:00,360
That was Hobbs? I haven't seen any of those. Microsoft has revealed it is ending support for Cortana

85
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,240
on Windows 10 and 11 later this year. This comes merely a week after the announcement

86
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:12,160
of Windows Copilot, their new AI assistant powered by Chachi BT, who's frankly hotter.

87
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:19,200
For some reason though, Cortana will still be available in the Outlook and Teams mobile apps as punishment.

88
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,440
To be fair, Chachi BT is a better representation

89
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,480
of Halo's Cortana than Microsoft's Cortana.

90
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:31,600
I mean, Microsoft's original attempt wasn't even insane. It just made users feel that way, which...

91
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:37,400
An insider at Google has leaked what they claim are the specs for Google's upcoming Tensor G3 chip

92
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,520
inside the upcoming Pixel 8 and 8 Pro.

93
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,800
Why? Maybe they live for the thrill of such things.

94
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,600
They didn't explain that to Android authority, but they did say the G3 would have

95
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,600
an elusive nine-core configuration,

96
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,600
four little Cortex A510s, four mid-sized Cortex A715s,

97
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,120
and a single Cortex X3 to bring the number of cores

98
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,120
to an odd number. It feels so wrong. And maybe there's something to that,

99
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,800
because apparently it doesn't even match the performance of last year's Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1

100
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,520
on Geekbench. No Nacor?

101
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,840
That's not a word. I don't know Nacor.

102
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,920
Finance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange and its founder, Changpeng Zhao,

103
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,760
are being sued by the SEC over allegedly mishandling funds.

104
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:31,320
Why does that sound so familiar? Anyway, the commission levied 13 charges against the firm,

105
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:38,040
including commingling and diverting customer assets to an entity called Sigma Chain that is owned by Zhao.

106
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,200
Sounds like bad news for FTX. I mean, Binance.

107
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,320
Sorry, that was a freedian slip.

108
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,840
And several organizations have been affected by a mass hack

109
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,840
with the personal data of employees from BBC,

110
00:07:54,840 --> 00:08:00,320
British Airways, and others being stolen due to a hack of their payroll services provider.

111
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,360
But that hack itself is a symptom of a vulnerability

112
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,160
in the widely used Move It file transfer tool.

113
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:12,440
The government of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, that's its full title, was also hacked,

114
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,520
potentially compromising the personal information of citizens.

115
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,560
Nova Scotian should take solace in being able to buy a home

116
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,040
for less than a million dollars.

117
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,200
You think you have it bad? And you should take solace knowing we'll be back

118
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,920
on Wednesday with more tech news. Everything's gonna be fine.

119
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,920
Just hold on till there's more tech news. That's what it's all about.
