00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.840
We've got an exciting week of tackling for you. There's gonna be excitement, thrills, joy and happiness.

00:00:05.840 --> 00:00:10.560
There may also be tech news. Apple's exciting week of announcements kicked off today

00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:16.200
as Apple Intelligence is now available in iPhone, iPad and Mac, unless you're in the EU.

00:00:16.200 --> 00:00:20.120
But Europeans can access AI on M1 or newer Macs

00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:23.320
by changing the language to US English on their device.

00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:28.560
Europe's favorite flavor of English. Apple has also unveiled new M4-powered iMacs

00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:32.800
with some nice quality of life updates. For starters, Apple has finally decreed

00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:36.280
that 16 gigabytes of memory should be the minimum amount.

00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:42.000
However, the $1,300 base model still only comes with 256 gigabytes of storage.

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.100
Who needs more than that when you can subscribe to iCloud?

00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:48.560
Silly. The screen can be upgraded with a nano-texture glass option,

00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.680
which goes a step beyond typical anti-glare coating,

00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:57.200
obviously. The camera has been upgraded to 12 megapixels with support for desk view, which, if you didn't know,

00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:01.120
allows you to view your desk. On top of that, the 10-core CPU tiers

00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:07.160
have four Thunderbolt 4 ports compared to the two Thunderbolt 3 ports on the previous model.

00:01:07.160 --> 00:01:12.120
Do you need the most screens? Are you a screen queen? Well, you're in luck because the 10-core iMac models

00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.680
are the first iMacs to support two external displays.

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:20.780
Two? And they're on a roll because Apple also released the first Magic Keyboard, Trackpad and mouse

00:01:20.780 --> 00:01:24.720
to support USB-C for charging. You're never gonna guess where they put

00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:28.680
the Magic Mouse as charging port. Yep, it's still down there.

00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:32.120
And we may have more upcoming hardware to look forward to this week.

00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:36.680
According to Mark Gurman, he claims that an upcoming Mac mini redesign will pack an M4

00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.680
while being almost as small as an Apple TV. It could be the perfect travel PC

00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:47.240
to make your laptop jealous. You're bringing her? The specs for Ryzen's AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

00:01:47.240 --> 00:01:50.240
have allegedly fully leaked, giving us a glimpse

00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:53.780
into the majesty of third-generation 3D V-Cache.

00:01:53.780 --> 00:01:57.240
Give it to daddy, please, and thank you. While there's been no increase to the amount

00:01:57.240 --> 00:02:03.120
of L3 cache over the current gen, the listed specs state the chip has a free multiplier,

00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:07.080
suggesting that unlike its predecessors, traditional overclocking will be available

00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:10.260
for the 9800X3D. In addition to the leaked specs,

00:02:10.260 --> 00:02:15.480
there have been some leaked pics of the chip bearing it all after being delitted and naughty.

00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:21.000
The images reveal that the 3D V-Cache is stacked underneath the Zen 5 CCD,

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:25.280
whereas previous X3D chips have stacked the cache on top of the CCD.

00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.280
However, we're not quite sure what the benefit of this shift is yet.

00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:34.480
Maybe an engineer got bored. We do know that the 9800X3D isn't just for gaming

00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:41.360
based on leaked Puget Bench scores that show the chip matching the performance of Intel's Core i7-14700K.

00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:47.240
Having said that, the leaked Blender scores show the 14700K obliterating the 9800X3D,

00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:54.560
though its singular benchmark was compared to the median score of 103 14700K benchmarks.

00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:58.600
Like, would you rather fight 100 Ryles or the average of 100 Ryles?

00:02:58.600 --> 00:03:03.400
Lost to think about. In the not too distant future, a cyberpunk sommelier is cracking open a bottle

00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:07.200
of 2024 QuickBits because the customers ask

00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:12.720
for the best vintage they had, and that's us. Google has gotten even worse at stopping Pixel leaks

00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:18.080
as now details have gotten out, not just about the Pixel 10, but the Pixel 11 too.

00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:24.520
The cameras for the phones will apparently finally get 4K 60fps HDR video support thanks to the Tensor G5.

00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:29.480
But the Pixel 11 may support 100x zoom thanks to machine learning.

00:03:29.480 --> 00:03:34.960
There will also be ultra low light video, which will use on-device processing to boost visibility

00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:40.000
in lighting conditions as low as five to 10 lux. The same leak also suggests Pixel Watch

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.960
could get a Tensor chip, which may be used for always on ML-based health features.

00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:49.480
I just wanna skip ahead to when I can easily track how much IP and compare it with friends.

00:03:49.480 --> 00:03:54.040
We'll call it the Peterboards. Is it by volume or duration of P?

00:03:54.760 --> 00:03:59.920
Smallest P hole wins. I Fix It is unsure how Apple fixed the jelly scrolling issue

00:03:59.920 --> 00:04:04.680
in the new iPad Mini 7. The previous model screen would refresh from right to left

00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:10.680
in portrait mode, causing an ugly effect when using device in its morally superior vertical orientation.

00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:15.640
While I Fix It thought there would be some clear hardware change that was responsible for the fix,

00:04:15.640 --> 00:04:19.720
they couldn't find one in their tear down. Some outlets have suggested that the display controller

00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:22.680
was optimized, but I think it was magic.

00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:28.120
Why else do you think Tim Cook looks like a wizard who just shaved? Instagram revealed that video quality is decreased

00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:32.200
on less popular videos. Instagram boss Adam Maseri made the admission

00:04:32.200 --> 00:04:36.520
in a video AMA on the platform saying that after a video isn't viewed for a while,

00:04:36.520 --> 00:04:40.480
its quality will be cut. But if it gets popular again,

00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.960
they'll give it the glow up it deserves. Maseri claims this doesn't make it harder

00:04:43.960 --> 00:04:48.040
for small creators to compete, saying that the quality drop isn't huge

00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:51.640
and interaction is based on video content rather than its quality.

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:56.200
I wholeheartedly agree. It's what's inside the video that makes it big.

00:04:56.200 --> 00:05:00.920
Usually butts or feet. Over 30,000 clinicians and 40 different health systems

00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:05.320
are using an automatic transcription tool from NABLA powered by OpenAI's Whisper

00:05:05.320 --> 00:05:09.000
despite OpenAI's warning that it should not be used

00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.480
in high-risk domains or decision-making contexts.

00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:16.900
According to researchers, Whisper hallucinates in around 1% of transcripts

00:05:16.900 --> 00:05:20.020
and sometimes completely fabricates whole sentences

00:05:20.020 --> 00:05:26.620
and inserts them into silent sections of the tape, including violent sentiments, sexual innuendo,

00:05:26.620 --> 00:05:30.380
and nonsensical gibberish jabberla. This could all have serious implications

00:05:30.380 --> 00:05:35.100
if the transcript becomes part of the official record of a trial or medical assessment.

00:05:35.100 --> 00:05:39.820
Ah, yes, it seems that Mr. Jones reported symptoms of acid reflux and a desire

00:05:39.820 --> 00:05:43.860
to overthrow the legitimate government of Spain. And popular fitness app Strava

00:05:43.860 --> 00:05:49.400
has accidentally created a potentially serious security loophole that allows several world leaders

00:05:49.400 --> 00:05:52.560
to be tracked via the app because their bodyguards are recording

00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:58.160
and publicly posting their runs. French newspaper Le Monde was able to discover

00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:01.280
a private holiday taken by President Emmanuel Macron

00:06:01.280 --> 00:06:06.320
right down to the resort he was staying at thanks to his bodyguards geotagged humblebrags.

00:06:06.320 --> 00:06:10.520
You have one job. It's not just Macron though. It's also Vladimir Putin, Kamala Harris,

00:06:10.520 --> 00:06:15.000
not to mention Joe Biden, Donald Trump, and both of their wives. So to all the world's bodyguards,

00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.560
we're super impressed by the Ryzen grind but please set your account to private

00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:22.960
before your PR gets your boss whacked. And you'd be whacked out of your mind

00:06:22.960 --> 00:06:27.000
if you didn't come back on Wednesday for more tech news. You have time, Duncan.

00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.040
We all know. Yeah, Duncan. Duncan.
