00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.200
Apple's WWDC keynote ended with one more thing

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,

00:00:08.440 --> 00:00:12.420
and this is the Vision Pro, Apple's long rumored headset

00:00:12.420 --> 00:00:15.840
that Tim Cook is a little too excited about.

00:00:15.840 --> 00:00:19.560
The Mixed Reality headset starts at $3,500,

00:00:19.560 --> 00:00:23.000
but it'll cost more if you wear glasses because you'll apparently have to buy

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:28.240
prescription lens inserts for the crime of being born into a weak genetic line.

00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:31.600
I messed up and already had a kid. Apple is telling me that was a mistake.

00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:35.520
The Vision Pro features a higher than 4K micro OLED display

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:39.920
for each eye and audio pods for spatial audio.

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:43.320
Apparently the pods match the sound to your room's features

00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:46.640
and materials using audio ray tracing,

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:50.600
which is totally real and will definitely affect your ears frame rate.

00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:54.480
So make sure you get NVIDIA's DLSS hearing aids.

00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:58.880
That will stop the pain. The headset contains a buttload of cameras and sensors

00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.920
so you can control it with just your eyes and hands.

00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:06.080
Take 3D pictures and record 3D videos with spatial audio.

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:09.960
Now the only thing stopping you from making the immersive sex tape of your dreams

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,

00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:18.600
albeit very nice, ski goggles. If you'd rather not be reminded

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

00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.000
while still allowing you to see people when they get close to you.

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.720
Which is never. I'm so alone. To see whether this is really happening.

00:01:31.720 --> 00:01:35.360
Are you doing this? That's why you never let people get close to you.

00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:40.160
And those people will be able to see your eyes projected onto the exterior screen,

00:01:40.160 --> 00:01:45.240
which I can imagine will both help and hamper social interactions.

00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:48.600
Like your eyes are gonna be this removed from your face.

00:01:48.600 --> 00:01:53.360
The device is kept secure with optic ID which recognizes your iris.

00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:56.880
So no one can see all the videos of you failing to convince people to sleep

00:01:56.880 --> 00:02:00.280
with you while you wear your Vision Pro. It's hard enough as is.

00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.760
Hey, I have a proposition for you.

00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:09.880
Apple also made some major Mac announcements today, including a brand new 15 inch MacBook Air.

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

00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:18.240
John Ternus said it twice in three minutes.

00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:22.240
He's no Craig Federighi, but he's doing his best. That's what matters.

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,

00:02:25.880 --> 00:02:29.600
two extra inches of screen real estate, and yet, according to Apple,

00:02:29.600 --> 00:02:32.960
will still achieve up to 18 hours of battery life.

00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:37.680
This is a feat a Windows laptop hasn't achieved since that time hell froze over.

00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.680
Because it hasn't, it's never happened.

00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:45.520
Apple is also refreshing their Mac Studio lineup with their brand new M2 Ultra chip.

00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.840
They developed without any CIA brainwashing at all.

00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.720
Some LSD though. Probably because it's just two M2 Macs chips

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.

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.

00:03:06.160 --> 00:03:09.400
But why buy that when you can buy the new Mac Pro

00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:14.760
with the same chip, but more Thunderbolt ports and six PCIe Gen 4 slots

00:03:14.760 --> 00:03:17.920
in the same Swiss cheese chassis you know and love.

00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:21.800
According to the presentation, if you put six video IO cards in the Mac Pro,

00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:27.720
you can ingest 24 4K camera feeds and encode them to ProRes in real time.

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

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.

00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:39.680
You're an air conditioning technician. What were you thinking?

00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:45.080
HVACs don't need VACs. And Apple also announced major updates to all their OSes.

00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:48.760
iOS 17 will let you customize a contact poster

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.

00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:58.360
Apple introduced live voicemail, which is basically Pixel phone's call screening,

00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.200
but better because you get to keep the voicemail after.

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:07.440
Great for spam message collectors. Also, Apple is putting transformer language models

00:04:07.440 --> 00:04:11.280
into their auto correct and dictation features to make their results more accurate

00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.840
and personalized to you. We put LLMs in your keyboard.

00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.840
I'm sure this will go fine. For iPadOS, Apple decided to skip over

00:04:18.840 --> 00:04:22.480
how Craig Federighi can somehow apparently harness the force

00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.840
so they could focus on what we really care about, widgets.

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

00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:35.320
so he could finally dive deep into what users really wanna see, widgets,

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

00:04:40.080 --> 00:04:43.240
shut the app down. Too soon.

00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:47.200
The biggest announcement, however, was that Apple remembered about video games.

00:04:47.200 --> 00:04:52.040
Sonoma has a new game mode that prioritizes game performance like Windows does,

00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:56.440
but sleeker. More brush dilumia.

00:04:56.440 --> 00:05:00.200
It's just better in some way. They even brought Hideo Kojima on

00:05:00.200 --> 00:05:04.140
to announce death stranding for Mac and got him to encourage other developers

00:05:04.140 --> 00:05:09.360
to also bring their games to the Mac, presumably using Apple's new game porting toolkit

00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:10.920
that will make porting easier.

00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:18.240
This, it's happening. Perhaps coincidentally, or perhaps not crossover a third-party software

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:23.960
that allows Windows applications to run on macOS, also announced DirectX 12 support.

00:05:23.960 --> 00:05:28.000
Apple's serious about AR, Apple's serious about gaming now, what's next?

00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:32.960
A tech news roundup show? Please don't. Come at me, Tim Cook.

00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:37.120
No, he scares me. Confession time, everybody.

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.

00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.840
He's... What was that, Riley?

00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:54.400
He's in the fast movies. Is that Dwayne Johnson? Oh, I'm Dwayne the Rock.

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

00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:05.240
on Windows 10 and 11 later this year. This comes merely a week after the announcement

00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:12.160
of Windows Copilot, their new AI assistant powered by Chachi BT, who's frankly hotter.

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.

00:06:19.200 --> 00:06:22.440
To be fair, Chachi BT is a better representation

00:06:22.440 --> 00:06:26.480
of Halo's Cortana than Microsoft's Cortana.

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...

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

00:06:37.400 --> 00:06:40.520
inside the upcoming Pixel 8 and 8 Pro.

00:06:40.520 --> 00:06:43.800
Why? Maybe they live for the thrill of such things.

00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.600
They didn't explain that to Android authority, but they did say the G3 would have

00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:50.600
an elusive nine-core configuration,

00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:55.600
four little Cortex A510s, four mid-sized Cortex A715s,

00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:00.120
and a single Cortex X3 to bring the number of cores

00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:04.120
to an odd number. It feels so wrong. And maybe there's something to that,

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

00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:11.520
on Geekbench. No Nacor?

00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.840
That's not a word. I don't know Nacor.

00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:20.920
Finance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange and its founder, Changpeng Zhao,

00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:25.760
are being sued by the SEC over allegedly mishandling funds.

00:07:25.760 --> 00:07:31.320
Why does that sound so familiar? Anyway, the commission levied 13 charges against the firm,

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.

00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:41.200
Sounds like bad news for FTX. I mean, Binance.

00:07:41.200 --> 00:07:44.320
Sorry, that was a freedian slip.

00:07:48.320 --> 00:07:51.840
And several organizations have been affected by a mass hack

00:07:51.840 --> 00:07:54.840
with the personal data of employees from BBC,

00:07:54.840 --> 00:08:00.320
British Airways, and others being stolen due to a hack of their payroll services provider.

00:08:00.320 --> 00:08:03.360
But that hack itself is a symptom of a vulnerability

00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.160
in the widely used Move It file transfer tool.

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,

00:08:12.440 --> 00:08:15.520
potentially compromising the personal information of citizens.

00:08:15.520 --> 00:08:18.560
Nova Scotian should take solace in being able to buy a home

00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:20.040
for less than a million dollars.

00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.200
You think you have it bad? And you should take solace knowing we'll be back

00:08:26.200 --> 00:08:29.920
on Wednesday with more tech news. Everything's gonna be fine.

00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:33.920
Just hold on till there's more tech news. That's what it's all about.
