1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,120
Oh, you came here because you want tech news,

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:09,120
and I know that, and that's why I have that ready for,

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,640
I have it ready for you right here. It's just one second.

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:18,240
Apple doesn't want to allow iPhone users to install apps from outside of the App Store,

5
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:23,360
AKA side loading, but according to Mark, Girm's together strong Girmans.

6
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:29,040
The company looks like it's doing the tech giant equivalent of gritting its teeth and wincing in anticipation

7
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:34,000
of getting a very painful temporary tattoo. See, the EU's Digital Market Act

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,560
requires gatekeeper companies like Google and Apple

9
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,560
to open up their software ecosystems by March 2024.

10
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:47,840
The Girmans, financial filings from Apple, as well as code found in the iOS 17.2 beta,

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:54,680
all point to Apple preparing to allow side loading on iPhones before that deadline, so in the next few months.

12
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,040
However, unlike their rollout of USB-C on iPhones,

13
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:04,760
which also happened because of EU pressure, side loading may only be allowed in the EU itself.

14
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:12,720
But while Apple is preparing to do the unthinkable, letting their users decide something for themselves,

15
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:17,560
the trillion dollar company is reportedly also quietly cooking up a Hail Mary

16
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:22,880
in the form of several appeals challenging the EU's decision to label the iOS App Store

17
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,040
and iMessage as gatekeeper services.

18
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,120
Apple doesn't think of itself as gatekeeping anything,

19
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,440
and if they are, it's more like a girl boss gaslight

20
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,440
situation, like, wow, yes, queen,

21
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,520
constructive criticism isn't real. Anyway, get ready to provide a whole new level

22
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,480
of tech support for your iPhone using friends. In other Apple news, concerns over the company's decision

23
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:51,600
to limit the base model M3 MacBook Pro to eight gigabytes of RAM, sorry, unified memory,

24
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,280
have been somewhat validated according to YouTuber Max Tech.

25
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,440
He put an eight Gigabyte and a 16 Gigabyte M3 MacBook Pro

26
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,680
head to head and found that, unsurprising to nearly everyone,

27
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,400
the 16 Gigabyte laptop enjoys a sizable performance boost

28
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,560
over the eight Gigabyte model, exporting photos and videos

29
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,960
as much as three times faster, despite only having two times the remembering power.

30
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,400
Now, enthusiasts only got more upset about Apple's decision to under-equip

31
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,440
the base model MacBook Pro after the company's VP

32
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:28,400
of worldwide marketing, Bob Borchers, totally borked himself by telling Billy Billy creator,

33
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,080
Lin Yi Li, sure, that eight gigabytes of RAM

34
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,200
on the M3 MacBook Pro is analogous

35
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:41,520
to 16 gigabytes on other systems. Now, you can acknowledge that Apple software

36
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,360
and hardware optimization is high art, while also being glad you weren't drinking

37
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:53,640
some delicious 2% milk when you heard Borchers claim, because I changed my pants enough times in one day, okay?

38
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:58,200
But hey, at least Apple used two separate NAND modules for the storage this time,

39
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,760
not because people asked for that, they don't care.

40
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:08,040
Intel has been waiting at Stern to be called out for some nonsense, so thank goodness that MSI released

41
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,120
a BIOS update for its Z790 motherboards

42
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,320
that enables support for the incredibly generic sounding

43
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,120
Intel Application Optimization feature, or APO.

44
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,760
The feature is actually pretty cool. Hardware Unbox did some testing

45
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,920
with their now updated MSI boards and credited APO

46
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:28,120
as a fix for the way Intel's efficiency cores

47
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,800
or eCores handle gaming. But despite sounding like something that should work

48
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,800
on pretty much any Intel chip with efficiency cores like the 12th and 13th gen lineups,

49
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,240
APO only works on select 14th gen core processors.

50
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,960
And when Hub asked Intel what's the deal with that,

51
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,440
Intel gave a bone-chillingly corporate response.

52
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,760
Intel has no plans to support prior generation products

53
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:58,640
with application optimization. Hello, I'm a human being, I have feelings, beep boop.

54
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,440
Hardware Unbox also asked Intel if they planned to support more than the only two games

55
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,440
that work with APO right now, Metro Exodus and Rainbow Six Siege,

56
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,880
to which Intel replied, yeah, probably.

57
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,880
Oh, you got a quick bits, man, they are, they're so cool.

58
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,520
I'm gonna rush today. I didn't have time to think of something amazing, okay? NVIDIA has announced the H200,

59
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,600
an upgraded version of the H100 GPU,

60
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:28,040
which is so in demand for running AI right now that the US's dollar value might get tethered to it soon.

61
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,960
The H200 specs appear to be largely similar to the H100s,

62
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,560
except for the memory, which is upgraded from HBM3

63
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:40,240
to HBM3e, boosting memory bandwidth, clocks and capacity.

64
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,200
The H100 had 80 gigabytes of VRAM, while the H200 has 141.

65
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:52,840
Think about all the things you could do with that, like emulate 8.88 Gigabyte M3 MacBook Pros.

66
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:56,880
Yeah, you're gonna do the math. RTX 4090s are still pouring into repair shops

67
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,360
with melted power plugs more than a year after problems with the card's 12 volt

68
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,760
high power connector were first reported, according to Alex from Northridge Fix on YouTube.

69
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,760
He says his repair shop still gets about 20 to 25 4090s

70
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:16,720
in per week, proving once and for all that the 4090 owners just didn't plug them in right, guys.

71
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:22,680
You gotta push it all the way in. It's your fault. Thankfully, PCI SIG has now redesigned the connector,

72
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,640
so hopefully future generations of financially questionable decision makers

73
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,360
won't endure the suffering you have. It's not actually your fault.

74
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,460
I was joking. Stop writing that comment. Australia's ports are reopening after being shut down

75
00:05:35,460 --> 00:05:40,600
by a massive cyber attack three days ago, according to DP World Australia,

76
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:46,480
which is not related to what you're thinking of. It's actually the country's biggest ports operator,

77
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:51,760
which still sounds a damn it. Look, the cyber attack caused huge delays and congestion,

78
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:57,240
and some data was apparently stolen by the perpetrators who are believed to be foreign state actors.

79
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:03,480
But all I reckon they should see whether the front fell off. Widely reported issues with SanDisk Extreme Pro SSDs

80
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,080
are the result of hardware issues, unfixable by any firmware update,

81
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:13,320
according to data recovery company, Atingo. Their managing director told FutureZone

82
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,520
that some of the components SanDisk used are too big for their circuit boards,

83
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:23,160
leading to unstable connections, which caused some components to pop off the board entirely,

84
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,320
and not in a good way. I would be shocked and appalled by this

85
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:32,600
if I didn't remember that SanDisk is owned by Western Digital. And Tesla's order agreement for the Cybertruck

86
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,400
forbids owners from selling the polygonal vehicle

87
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:41,480
for one year after it's delivered, unless you tell Tesla you want to sell it

88
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,120
and give them a chance to buy it back from you. If they don't want to buy it back,

89
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,480
they might give you written permission to sell it to a third party, like a hall pass,

90
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,920
but for basic economic rights. If you violate this or any other provision

91
00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:00,480
in the agreement, Tesla says they may locate and disable the vehicle electronically.

92
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,800
And really, I mean, this should all make sense if you bought a Cybertruck.

93
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,880
It's not a normal truck. It's ugly.

94
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,360
But you're beautiful inside and out, and that's why I know you're gonna come back

95
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,640
on Wednesday for more tech news. It's just who you are, you know.

96
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,760
We love you for that. Please.
