WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.600 Apple, Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Snapchat. 00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:10.400 It's all tech news. Apple began rolling out iOS 18 today, 00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:13.440 which of course means that your iPhone can now vote. 00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:17.320 Or maybe it could have if the much-discussed Apple Intelligence 00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:20.720 came along with the update. Unfortunately for Cupertino, 00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:25.160 California's most prominent rectangle peddlers, this has also affected sales 00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:30.880 of the newly revealed iPhone 16. Some outlets like the Verge claim that iOS 18 00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:34.800 is still pretty cool without all that AI no one asked for. 00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:39.480 For example, RCS support has arrived with read receipts and some reactions. 00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:43.520 Great news for Android users who can now endure slightly less bullying 00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.800 from their iPhone-owning friends. Just don't mention that Android 00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:50.320 has basically had iOS 18's new home screen customization 00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:54.280 features for like years now and you should be fine. In typical Apple fashion, 00:00:54.280 --> 00:01:00.160 iOS wasn't the only operating system to get some love. macOS 15, AKA Sequoia, 00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:03.960 adds the ability to mirror and control your iPhone on your Mac. 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:09.080 Even better, improvements have been made to the way that Windows snap into position on macOS. 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. 00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:18.140 iPadOS 18 is also here, bringing the cool new calculator app with math notes 00:01:18.140 --> 00:01:22.840 that auto solves equations you write down. That was actually mind blowing to me. 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:27.080 Kudos to Apple. I don't just hate them. iPadOS is also getting a game mode 00:01:27.080 --> 00:01:30.680 to improve gaming performance, which I'm sure a lot more people care about 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.400 than the fact that VisionOS 2 is rolling out for Vision Pro. Moving on. 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.080 AMD has apparently decided it wants to be like NVIDIA 00:01:38.080 --> 00:01:41.800 in all the worst ways. Following in Team Green's footsteps, 00:01:41.800 --> 00:01:47.680 CEO Lisa Sue has stated publicly that we really are a data center first company, 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:51.240 which is not only unfortunate for us lowly gamers and enthusiasts, 00:01:51.240 --> 00:01:54.840 it's also apparently bad news for AMD's laptop partners. 00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:59.440 Chip consultancy firm, AC analysis, claims that AMD's shift in focus 00:01:59.440 --> 00:02:03.280 has created a rift between it and its OEM partners. 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:09.000 Many partners complain about miscommunication, unfilled promises, and generally poor treatment. 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.360 Weirdly, I think I got the exact same feedback the last time I was dumped. 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.520 According to the OEMs themselves, this is not the first time 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:20.040 they've had issues with AMD. Team Red is apparently notorious 00:02:20.040 --> 00:02:25.080 for its inability to deliver chips either quickly or in sufficient quantities. 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.360 Some manufacturers told German outlet, Computerbase, 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.720 that AMD has left billions of US dollars on the table 00:02:31.720 --> 00:02:34.760 by not being able to guarantee order fulfillment. 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. 00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:44.640 We were this close to having an Intel-powered PlayStation 6, 00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:47.680 according to an exclusive report from Reuters. 00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:52.520 The deal would have netted Team Blue an estimated $30 billion. 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.520 But it's not like the company desperately needed the work, right? 00:02:56.520 --> 00:03:02.840 Right? While multiple chip companies submitted bids for designing and manufacturing the PS6's processor, 00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:08.400 it all came down to AMD and Intel. Unfortunately, Intel lost for a couple reasons. 00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:11.920 Two sources told Reuters that Intel got into a dispute 00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:16.320 over profit margins that prevented the company from settling on a price with Sony. 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. 00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:25.840 Choosing Intel for the successor console allegedly would have put Sony's usual 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:30.800 backwards compatibility at risk. Or at the very least, made it more expensive 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. 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:40.240 Naturally, they took the next logical step, working for the military. 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.400 Team Blue is set to earn up to three and a half billion dollars 00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:48.360 thanks to a contract with the Pentagon, which is, of course, the second scariest shape. 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:53.840 The scariest shape is an octagon. Shapes shouldn't have that many obtuse angles. 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.720 But if you want your body hair octagon, check out our sponsor, QuickBits. 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. 00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:09.000 An appeals court in Washington, DC is hearing ByteDance's lawsuit 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.640 objecting to the upcoming TikTok ban as of today. 00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:16.520 And it can be conveniently streamed in horizontal format on YouTube. 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, 00:04:21.960 --> 00:04:25.160 both true and not, and collects data 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:30.240 that could potentially be useful to a foreign adversary, cough, cough, it's China. 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:36.360 However, as pointed out by TikTok's lawyers, any supposedly secret intelligence the government possesses 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. 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, 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:52.160 because you should just know. This morning, Microsoft continued their favorite pastime 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:57.080 of putting co-pilot in things. Office apps like Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook 00:04:57.080 --> 00:05:00.280 will get more AI features with co-pilot in Excel, 00:05:00.280 --> 00:05:04.640 now being able to run Python code to make graphs. 00:05:04.640 --> 00:05:08.120 Couldn't Excel already make graphs? I am not an Excel guy. 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.160 But Microsoft also announced co-pilot pages, 00:05:11.200 --> 00:05:16.800 a new document workspace where you and your coworkers can boss co-pilot around together. 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:20.720 And that's what's been missing from the whole AI equation. Group bullying. 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:24.920 Apple has decided to increase the out of warranty battery replacement fee 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:29.520 for iPhone 16 Pro models by 20% compared to the predecessors. 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. 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, 00:05:40.960 --> 00:05:45.360 you'll have to enter the Apple ID associated with the phone that part is from. 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:51.080 Sounds annoying, but apparently in Apple's mind, most iPhones are stolen and sold for parts. 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. 00:05:56.960 --> 00:06:01.960 Hackers have been using a heinous new technique in the battle to steal your passwords. 00:06:01.960 --> 00:06:06.840 Being really annoying. Researchers at OA Labs discovered a type of attack 00:06:06.840 --> 00:06:12.120 being actively exploited, which traps a user's Chrome browser in kiosk mode, 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.880 forcing it to run in full screen without the standard user interface. 00:06:15.880 --> 00:06:20.720 Presented with a Google login page and seemingly no other way to use the computer, 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:23.720 users are tempted to just enter their credentials 00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:28.720 and end their suffering. But no, steady on friends, you're better than this. 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.440 First, try keyboard shortcuts like Control Alt Delete, 00:06:32.440 --> 00:06:35.720 Control Shift Escape, and Alt F4. 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. 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. 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:50.720 According to Oracle founder and current third richest man in the world, Larry Ellison, 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:54.320 lending further evidence to the theory that exposure to too much money 00:06:54.320 --> 00:06:58.600 causes lasting brain damage. Ellison recently publicly expressed 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:02.200 that being surrounded by cameras and AI agents 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. 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:13.280 South Korean researchers have apparently developed AI software called Deja View 00:07:13.280 --> 00:07:18.520 that predicts if and when a crime will occur with over 80% accuracy. 00:07:18.520 --> 00:07:21.640 Sadly, it does this by integrating CCTV footage, 00:07:21.640 --> 00:07:24.800 crime statistics, positioning data, and other data 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.880 rather than a kiddie pool full of psychics. It's a reference to the movie. 00:07:28.880 --> 00:07:32.200 Have you seen the movie? You best be on your best behavior 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 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, 00:07:40.200 --> 00:07:44.680 and that will send an emergency alert straight to Larry Ellison. 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.220 We don't want that. We don't know what he'll do.
