WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.120 Oh, you came here because you want tech news, 00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:09.120 and I know that, and that's why I have that ready for, 00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:12.640 I have it ready for you right here. It's just one second. 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, 00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:23.360 AKA side loading, but according to Mark, Girm's together strong Girmans. 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 00:00:29.080 --> 00:00:34.000 of getting a very painful temporary tattoo. See, the EU's Digital Market Act 00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:37.560 requires gatekeeper companies like Google and Apple 00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:41.560 to open up their software ecosystems by March 2024. 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, 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. 00:00:54.680 --> 00:00:58.040 However, unlike their rollout of USB-C on iPhones, 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. 00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:12.720 But while Apple is preparing to do the unthinkable, letting their users decide something for themselves, 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:17.560 the trillion dollar company is reportedly also quietly cooking up a Hail Mary 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 00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:26.040 and iMessage as gatekeeper services. 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.120 Apple doesn't think of itself as gatekeeping anything, 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.440 and if they are, it's more like a girl boss gaslight 00:01:32.440 --> 00:01:35.440 situation, like, wow, yes, queen, 00:01:35.440 --> 00:01:39.520 constructive criticism isn't real. Anyway, get ready to provide a whole new level 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 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:51.600 to limit the base model M3 MacBook Pro to eight gigabytes of RAM, sorry, unified memory, 00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:55.280 have been somewhat validated according to YouTuber Max Tech. 00:01:55.320 --> 00:01:58.440 He put an eight Gigabyte and a 16 Gigabyte M3 MacBook Pro 00:01:58.440 --> 00:02:02.680 head to head and found that, unsurprising to nearly everyone, 00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:06.400 the 16 Gigabyte laptop enjoys a sizable performance boost 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.560 over the eight Gigabyte model, exporting photos and videos 00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:14.960 as much as three times faster, despite only having two times the remembering power. 00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:19.400 Now, enthusiasts only got more upset about Apple's decision to under-equip 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.440 the base model MacBook Pro after the company's VP 00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:28.400 of worldwide marketing, Bob Borchers, totally borked himself by telling Billy Billy creator, 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:33.080 Lin Yi Li, sure, that eight gigabytes of RAM 00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:36.200 on the M3 MacBook Pro is analogous 00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:41.520 to 16 gigabytes on other systems. Now, you can acknowledge that Apple software 00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:46.360 and hardware optimization is high art, while also being glad you weren't drinking 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? 00:02:53.640 --> 00:02:58.200 But hey, at least Apple used two separate NAND modules for the storage this time, 00:02:58.200 --> 00:03:02.760 not because people asked for that, they don't care. 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 00:03:08.040 --> 00:03:11.120 a BIOS update for its Z790 motherboards 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.320 that enables support for the incredibly generic sounding 00:03:14.320 --> 00:03:18.120 Intel Application Optimization feature, or APO. 00:03:18.160 --> 00:03:21.760 The feature is actually pretty cool. Hardware Unbox did some testing 00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:24.920 with their now updated MSI boards and credited APO 00:03:24.920 --> 00:03:28.120 as a fix for the way Intel's efficiency cores 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:32.800 or eCores handle gaming. But despite sounding like something that should work 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:37.800 on pretty much any Intel chip with efficiency cores like the 12th and 13th gen lineups, 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:42.240 APO only works on select 14th gen core processors. 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.960 And when Hub asked Intel what's the deal with that, 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.440 Intel gave a bone-chillingly corporate response. 00:03:49.440 --> 00:03:52.760 Intel has no plans to support prior generation products 00:03:52.760 --> 00:03:58.640 with application optimization. Hello, I'm a human being, I have feelings, beep boop. 00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:03.440 Hardware Unbox also asked Intel if they planned to support more than the only two games 00:04:03.440 --> 00:04:07.440 that work with APO right now, Metro Exodus and Rainbow Six Siege, 00:04:07.440 --> 00:04:10.880 to which Intel replied, yeah, probably. 00:04:10.880 --> 00:04:14.880 Oh, you got a quick bits, man, they are, they're so cool. 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, 00:04:19.520 --> 00:04:22.600 an upgraded version of the H100 GPU, 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. 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.960 The H200 specs appear to be largely similar to the H100s, 00:04:31.960 --> 00:04:35.560 except for the memory, which is upgraded from HBM3 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:40.240 to HBM3e, boosting memory bandwidth, clocks and capacity. 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:46.200 The H100 had 80 gigabytes of VRAM, while the H200 has 141. 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. 00:04:52.840 --> 00:04:56.880 Yeah, you're gonna do the math. RTX 4090s are still pouring into repair shops 00:04:56.880 --> 00:05:01.360 with melted power plugs more than a year after problems with the card's 12 volt 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:06.760 high power connector were first reported, according to Alex from Northridge Fix on YouTube. 00:05:06.760 --> 00:05:10.760 He says his repair shop still gets about 20 to 25 4090s 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. 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, 00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:26.640 so hopefully future generations of financially questionable decision makers 00:05:26.640 --> 00:05:30.360 won't endure the suffering you have. It's not actually your fault. 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:35.460 I was joking. Stop writing that comment. Australia's ports are reopening after being shut down 00:05:35.460 --> 00:05:40.600 by a massive cyber attack three days ago, according to DP World Australia, 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, 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:51.760 which still sounds a damn it. Look, the cyber attack caused huge delays and congestion, 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. 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 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:08.080 are the result of hardware issues, unfixable by any firmware update, 00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:13.320 according to data recovery company, Atingo. Their managing director told FutureZone 00:06:13.320 --> 00:06:17.520 that some of the components SanDisk used are too big for their circuit boards, 00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:23.160 leading to unstable connections, which caused some components to pop off the board entirely, 00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:27.320 and not in a good way. I would be shocked and appalled by this 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 00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:36.400 forbids owners from selling the polygonal vehicle 00:06:36.400 --> 00:06:41.480 for one year after it's delivered, unless you tell Tesla you want to sell it 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, 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, 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:54.920 but for basic economic rights. If you violate this or any other provision 00:06:54.920 --> 00:07:00.480 in the agreement, Tesla says they may locate and disable the vehicle electronically. 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.800 And really, I mean, this should all make sense if you bought a Cybertruck. 00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:07.880 It's not a normal truck. It's ugly. 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 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.640 on Wednesday for more tech news. It's just who you are, you know. 00:07:14.640 --> 00:07:16.760 We love you for that. Please.
