1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,600 Apple, Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Snapchat. 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,400 It's all tech news. Apple began rolling out iOS 18 today, 3 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,440 which of course means that your iPhone can now vote. 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,320 Or maybe it could have if the much-discussed Apple Intelligence 5 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,720 came along with the update. Unfortunately for Cupertino, 6 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,160 California's most prominent rectangle peddlers, this has also affected sales 7 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:30,880 of the newly revealed iPhone 16. Some outlets like the Verge claim that iOS 18 8 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,800 is still pretty cool without all that AI no one asked for. 9 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,480 For example, RCS support has arrived with read receipts and some reactions. 10 00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:43,520 Great news for Android users who can now endure slightly less bullying 11 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,800 from their iPhone-owning friends. Just don't mention that Android 12 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,320 has basically had iOS 18's new home screen customization 13 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,280 features for like years now and you should be fine. In typical Apple fashion, 14 00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:00,160 iOS wasn't the only operating system to get some love. macOS 15, AKA Sequoia, 15 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,960 adds the ability to mirror and control your iPhone on your Mac. 16 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:09,080 Even better, improvements have been made to the way that Windows snap into position on macOS. 17 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,760 And I won't make the same joke about that already kind of being a thing on other platforms. 18 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:18,140 iPadOS 18 is also here, bringing the cool new calculator app with math notes 19 00:01:18,140 --> 00:01:22,840 that auto solves equations you write down. That was actually mind blowing to me. 20 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,080 Kudos to Apple. I don't just hate them. iPadOS is also getting a game mode 21 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,680 to improve gaming performance, which I'm sure a lot more people care about 22 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,400 than the fact that VisionOS 2 is rolling out for Vision Pro. Moving on. 23 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,080 AMD has apparently decided it wants to be like NVIDIA 24 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,800 in all the worst ways. Following in Team Green's footsteps, 25 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:47,680 CEO Lisa Sue has stated publicly that we really are a data center first company, 26 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,240 which is not only unfortunate for us lowly gamers and enthusiasts, 27 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,840 it's also apparently bad news for AMD's laptop partners. 28 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,440 Chip consultancy firm, AC analysis, claims that AMD's shift in focus 29 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,280 has created a rift between it and its OEM partners. 30 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:09,000 Many partners complain about miscommunication, unfilled promises, and generally poor treatment. 31 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,360 Weirdly, I think I got the exact same feedback the last time I was dumped. 32 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,520 According to the OEMs themselves, this is not the first time 33 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,040 they've had issues with AMD. Team Red is apparently notorious 34 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:25,080 for its inability to deliver chips either quickly or in sufficient quantities. 35 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,360 Some manufacturers told German outlet, Computerbase, 36 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,720 that AMD has left billions of US dollars on the table 37 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,760 by not being able to guarantee order fulfillment. 38 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:40,720 AMD has been saying they can change for years, and that is such a Team Red flag. 39 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,640 We were this close to having an Intel-powered PlayStation 6, 40 00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:47,680 according to an exclusive report from Reuters. 41 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,520 The deal would have netted Team Blue an estimated $30 billion. 42 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,520 But it's not like the company desperately needed the work, right? 43 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:02,840 Right? While multiple chip companies submitted bids for designing and manufacturing the PS6's processor, 44 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:08,400 it all came down to AMD and Intel. Unfortunately, Intel lost for a couple reasons. 45 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,920 Two sources told Reuters that Intel got into a dispute 46 00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:16,320 over profit margins that prevented the company from settling on a price with Sony. 47 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:21,680 Another reason that Intel lost out to AMD is that AMD made the chip that powers the PS5. 48 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,840 Choosing Intel for the successor console allegedly would have put Sony's usual 49 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,800 backwards compatibility at risk. Or at the very least, made it more expensive 50 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:36,280 for the company to sort the feature out. Regardless, Intel lost the chance to make some big money. 51 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,240 Naturally, they took the next logical step, working for the military. 52 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,400 Team Blue is set to earn up to three and a half billion dollars 53 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:48,360 thanks to a contract with the Pentagon, which is, of course, the second scariest shape. 54 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:53,840 The scariest shape is an octagon. Shapes shouldn't have that many obtuse angles. 55 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,720 But if you want your body hair octagon, check out our sponsor, QuickBits. 56 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:04,640 The only news story is guaranteed to be faster than other news stories, or your money back. 57 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,000 An appeals court in Washington, DC is hearing ByteDance's lawsuit 58 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,640 objecting to the upcoming TikTok ban as of today. 59 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,520 And it can be conveniently streamed in horizontal format on YouTube. 60 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:21,960 At the heart of the case is the government's contention that TikTok circulates massive amounts of information, 61 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,160 both true and not, and collects data 62 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,240 that could potentially be useful to a foreign adversary, cough, cough, it's China. 63 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:36,360 However, as pointed out by TikTok's lawyers, any supposedly secret intelligence the government possesses 64 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:42,200 that proves that the company is actually collaborating with the rival government is just that, a secret. 65 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:47,480 America is acting a bit like a girlfriend who's furious with you, but won't tell you why, 66 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:52,160 because you should just know. This morning, Microsoft continued their favorite pastime 67 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:57,080 of putting co-pilot in things. Office apps like Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook 68 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,280 will get more AI features with co-pilot in Excel, 69 00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:04,640 now being able to run Python code to make graphs. 70 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,120 Couldn't Excel already make graphs? I am not an Excel guy. 71 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,160 But Microsoft also announced co-pilot pages, 72 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,800 a new document workspace where you and your coworkers can boss co-pilot around together. 73 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,720 And that's what's been missing from the whole AI equation. Group bullying. 74 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,920 Apple has decided to increase the out of warranty battery replacement fee 75 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,520 for iPhone 16 Pro models by 20% compared to the predecessors. 76 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:35,960 And that's not the only change coming to iPhone repairs. Apple is extending activation lock to individual parts. 77 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,960 This means that if a battery from an iPhone with activation lock enabled ends up in your device, 78 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,360 you'll have to enter the Apple ID associated with the phone that part is from. 79 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:51,080 Sounds annoying, but apparently in Apple's mind, most iPhones are stolen and sold for parts. 80 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:56,960 So this is Apple's way of fighting back, in a way that doesn't involve making repair cheaper or easier. 81 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,960 Hackers have been using a heinous new technique in the battle to steal your passwords. 82 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,840 Being really annoying. Researchers at OA Labs discovered a type of attack 83 00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:12,120 being actively exploited, which traps a user's Chrome browser in kiosk mode, 84 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,880 forcing it to run in full screen without the standard user interface. 85 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,720 Presented with a Google login page and seemingly no other way to use the computer, 86 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,720 users are tempted to just enter their credentials 87 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,720 and end their suffering. But no, steady on friends, you're better than this. 88 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,440 First, try keyboard shortcuts like Control Alt Delete, 89 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,720 Control Shift Escape, and Alt F4. 90 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,720 No, that last one is not how you check the score and call of duty, those guys were lying to you. 91 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,920 I'm sorry you had to hear it this way. And the future AI surveillance state is gonna be awesome. 92 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,720 According to Oracle founder and current third richest man in the world, Larry Ellison, 93 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,320 lending further evidence to the theory that exposure to too much money 94 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,600 causes lasting brain damage. Ellison recently publicly expressed 95 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,200 that being surrounded by cameras and AI agents 96 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:08,360 looking at what we're doing will keep us on our best behavior, and that future is coming fast. 97 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:13,280 South Korean researchers have apparently developed AI software called Deja View 98 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:18,520 that predicts if and when a crime will occur with over 80% accuracy. 99 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,640 Sadly, it does this by integrating CCTV footage, 100 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,800 crime statistics, positioning data, and other data 101 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,880 rather than a kiddie pool full of psychics. It's a reference to the movie. 102 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,200 Have you seen the movie? You best be on your best behavior 103 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,480 and come back on Wednesday for more tech news. If you don't, then the AI will know 104 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,200 and it will encode into its training data that you aren't up to date with the latest tech news, 105 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,680 and that will send an emergency alert straight to Larry Ellison. 106 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,220 We don't want that. We don't know what he'll do.
