WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.460 Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in. 00:00:04.460 --> 00:00:10.060 I'm just kidding. It's great to see you. Also, that's a weird insult. Microsoft has apparently patched a popular loophole 00:00:10.060 --> 00:00:16.180 that allowed users to install Windows 11 on PCs that don't meet the outlandish hardware requirements. 00:00:16.180 --> 00:00:20.100 Why convince people to download your OS when you can just make it harder to upgrade 00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:24.540 for those who actually want to? This particular trick allowed anyone to bypass 00:00:24.540 --> 00:00:27.700 the TPM 2.0 chip requirement of Windows 11 00:00:27.700 --> 00:00:32.620 by tricking the OS's setup file into thinking your machine was a server. 00:00:32.620 --> 00:00:37.220 Classic. Not a host. That's another computer and restaurant word. 00:00:37.220 --> 00:00:42.420 Unfortunately, Twitter user, TheBobPony, discovered that the most recent insider build 00:00:42.420 --> 00:00:46.740 of Windows now also requires servers to have TPM 2.0 support. 00:00:46.740 --> 00:00:49.820 This isn't the case in normal Windows yet, 00:00:49.820 --> 00:00:55.020 but chances are they'll be rolling out an update soon. And that could leave you with a non-functional system 00:00:55.020 --> 00:01:00.380 if you use this workaround to install Windows 11. There are still other methods to install Windows 11 00:01:00.380 --> 00:01:04.780 without having TPM 2.0. For example, open source utility, Rufus, 00:01:04.780 --> 00:01:08.300 apparently has its own workaround too. I doubt Microsoft is going to succeed 00:01:08.300 --> 00:01:13.460 at patching every method for bypassing the hardware requirements, but I'm happy to have them try. 00:01:13.460 --> 00:01:16.500 That means less time for them to program more ads into Windows 11. 00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:22.140 Just kidding, they'll make time. Procreate, the company behind the popular art app for iPad, 00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:25.780 have pledged to never add AI to their products. 00:01:25.780 --> 00:01:29.060 This is despite the existence of the 2010 song, 00:01:29.060 --> 00:01:32.940 Never Say Never by Justin Bieber. In a video posted by the company's Twitter account, 00:01:32.940 --> 00:01:36.860 CEO Jason Kuda said, I really f***ing hate generative AI. 00:01:36.860 --> 00:01:41.580 And Procreate's website features a page dedicated to their anti-AI stance. 00:01:41.580 --> 00:01:46.100 As a result, the company has received a lot of love from digital artists who probably are tired 00:01:46.100 --> 00:01:50.380 of having generative AI trained on their work without consent, but painters and illustrators 00:01:50.420 --> 00:01:54.340 aren't the only ones seemingly becoming tired of the onslaught of AI tools. 00:01:54.340 --> 00:01:58.740 AI photo editing and image processing features are starting to raise questions about 00:01:58.740 --> 00:02:02.020 when a photo stops being a photo. 00:02:02.020 --> 00:02:05.380 Just last week, award-winning iPhone camera app Halide 00:02:05.380 --> 00:02:08.420 has introduced a new feature called Process Zero, 00:02:08.420 --> 00:02:12.900 allowing users to take photos without any AI or image processing at all. 00:02:12.900 --> 00:02:17.580 Of course, Halide costs $20 a year, so now ironically, you need to pay a subscription 00:02:17.580 --> 00:02:22.380 to not use AI. National Public Data, or NPD for short, 00:02:22.380 --> 00:02:28.100 has finally confirmed it had a data breach, though they don't actually seem too sure. 00:02:28.100 --> 00:02:34.020 In their official statement, the data aggregator says there appears to have been a data security incident, 00:02:34.020 --> 00:02:39.260 as if hundreds of millions of people's data ending up on the dark web was somehow not definitive proof enough. 00:02:39.260 --> 00:02:42.300 While many reports claim that 2.7 billion people's data 00:02:42.300 --> 00:02:47.260 was exposed, that's apparently not quite true. Web Security consultant Troy Hunt investigated it 00:02:47.260 --> 00:02:51.660 and found there were about 134 million unique email addresses. 00:02:51.660 --> 00:02:57.100 Yet NPD told the main attorney general's office that only 1.3 million people were affected, 00:02:57.100 --> 00:03:00.900 which would imply that they all have about 100 emails. 00:03:00.900 --> 00:03:06.380 That's normal non-degenerate behavior, right? It was also discovered by a company called Atlas Data Privacy 00:03:06.380 --> 00:03:10.860 that the leaked data contained 272 million unique social security numbers, 00:03:10.860 --> 00:03:15.860 so every person affected by the breach must have also been born roughly 200 times. 00:03:15.860 --> 00:03:20.860 Now to be fair to NPD, millions of these records are for people who no longer are alive, 00:03:20.860 --> 00:03:24.820 so maybe they weren't included in the 1.3 million figure. 00:03:24.820 --> 00:03:29.260 But it's hard to cut them slack when the hackers may have gotten all this data 00:03:29.260 --> 00:03:32.620 because an NPD sister site published a file 00:03:32.620 --> 00:03:35.780 containing admin passwords on its homepage 00:03:35.780 --> 00:03:39.540 that was only removed today. Sure, we've been hacked before, 00:03:39.540 --> 00:03:42.580 but the hackers still had to put in some effort. 00:03:42.580 --> 00:03:47.860 How do you summon quick bits? Easy. Just go, wait, no, that's cats. 00:03:47.860 --> 00:03:50.860 Intel's upcoming Aero Lake S desktop CPU lineup 00:03:50.860 --> 00:03:54.980 is expected to arrive in October, a little fuller than anticipated. 00:03:54.980 --> 00:04:01.580 A little healthier, girthier. A leak courtesy of Jakein on Twitter lists 14 SKUs 00:04:01.580 --> 00:04:05.020 with two previously unseen Core Ultra 5 models, 00:04:05.020 --> 00:04:10.100 the 235 and 225. Another more different tweet from fellow leaker, 00:04:10.100 --> 00:04:15.380 OneRaichu, points to the lineup including one or more additional Core Ultra 3 models 00:04:15.380 --> 00:04:19.940 with eight cores, likely four P cores and four E cores, although depending on who you're talking to, 00:04:19.940 --> 00:04:23.780 these aren't real E cores. Those have all gone to join hyper threading 00:04:23.780 --> 00:04:30.140 in the great outdated tech glossary in the sky. Raspberry Pi, the company whose entire raison d'etre 00:04:30.140 --> 00:04:34.660 is hyper affordable mini PCs, has launched a new even lighter two Gigabyte version 00:04:34.660 --> 00:04:39.220 of the Pi 5 down from four gigabytes. Beyond the two Gigabyte drop in memory 00:04:39.220 --> 00:04:43.140 and a newly optimized SOC, the rest of the Pi specs remain unchanged. 00:04:43.140 --> 00:04:46.540 It's also for just 50 bucks down from 60 00:04:46.540 --> 00:04:49.700 for consumers who would rather buy a box of nice popsicles 00:04:49.700 --> 00:04:54.220 than double their available RAM. Yet unclear is whether Raspberry Pi will follow this up 00:04:54.220 --> 00:04:58.620 with a one Gigabyte version or whether they'll follow that with an infinite number 00:04:58.620 --> 00:05:01.900 of pies, each with half the memory of the previous model, 00:05:01.900 --> 00:05:06.740 Xenos Paradox style, ask them total pies. Comment if you're nerdy enough to get that reference. 00:05:06.740 --> 00:05:11.820 The Zotac zone first revealed at CES has now gone up for pre-order in select regions, 00:05:11.820 --> 00:05:15.780 hoping to entice foolish gamers into buying what looks like a steam deck, 00:05:15.780 --> 00:05:20.780 thanks to its dual touch pads, but is actually an $800 Windows handheld 00:05:20.780 --> 00:05:25.820 with a 120 Hertz OLED screen, hall effect joysticks, a selfie camera, and a kickstand. 00:05:25.820 --> 00:05:29.120 The real kicker though is the RGB strip on the back. 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.660 Valve wouldn't do this to us. The zone reportedly officially launches in September, 00:05:32.660 --> 00:05:37.140 but I don't know who to trust at this point. According to tech radar, Google has quietly confirmed 00:05:37.260 --> 00:05:40.900 there will be no more Fitbit smartwatches produced. 00:05:40.900 --> 00:05:46.020 I'm shocked. No one was more shocked by the story, then Google as a spokesperson then told ours, 00:05:46.020 --> 00:05:50.500 Technica, that tech radar's article was not correct, but did not elaborate on any potential 00:05:50.500 --> 00:05:54.900 new Fitbit smartwatch products. This confused us because last week, 00:05:54.900 --> 00:05:58.020 the senior director of product management for Pixel wearables told in gadget 00:05:58.020 --> 00:06:02.020 that moving forward Fitbit will be focusing on trackers, not smartwatches. 00:06:02.020 --> 00:06:05.660 So I feel like not even Google knows what Google is doing. 00:06:05.660 --> 00:06:08.980 That's fun. And Tesla is hiring workers to train 00:06:08.980 --> 00:06:12.620 its humanoid robot, Optimus, using mocap suits. 00:06:12.620 --> 00:06:16.580 Candidates must be reasonably fit in between 5.7 and 5.11. 00:06:16.580 --> 00:06:21.100 No big boys or short kings allowed. Unfortunately, this training might take millions 00:06:21.100 --> 00:06:25.780 of hours of data, meaning that the first sign of the robot apocalypse may be an epidemic 00:06:25.780 --> 00:06:30.820 of repetitive strain injuries. By contrast, Chinese company Unitree says 00:06:30.820 --> 00:06:34.340 it has a $16,000 mass production ready bot 00:06:34.340 --> 00:06:40.060 that can jump, jog, withstand kicks. Solder electronics and flip pancakes with training. 00:06:40.060 --> 00:06:43.180 It'll be the perfect bodyguard slash butler for all those average sized men 00:06:43.180 --> 00:06:46.220 with debilitating carpal tunnel. But it would be even more debilitating 00:06:46.220 --> 00:06:49.820 if you didn't come back on Wednesday for more tech news. 00:06:49.820 --> 00:06:53.860 I know when you aren't here, and frankly, it hurts. 00:06:53.860 --> 00:06:56.060 Almost as bad as my carpal tunnel. Ah!
