1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,920 You know when tech news makes you feel something you've never felt before and you ask other 2 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,640 people if they've felt anything like that and they're like, no, that's a bit concerning. 3 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:14,840 You should talk to your doctor. Yeah, that's what it's all about. 4 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:20,200 Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is scared that rapid development of AI could leave Microsoft 5 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:25,800 itself in the dust, despite doing absolutely everything it can to shoehorn three different 6 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,980 versions of something named Copilot into every product they make. 7 00:00:29,980 --> 00:00:34,860 As reported by The Verge at a company town hall, a Microsoft employee expressed concerns 8 00:00:34,860 --> 00:00:40,100 about the vibe shift of the company towards the emotionally colder side. 9 00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:44,180 What that employee doesn't understand is that Microsoft had no choice but to lay off 10 00:00:44,180 --> 00:00:49,460 9,000 people despite making record profits because, as Nadella said in his response, 11 00:00:49,460 --> 00:00:55,860 there's so many once great tech companies that simply vanished and every time it was 12 00:00:55,860 --> 00:01:04,100 because of AI and not laying off enough people. So Satya's concern that other companies will pull ahead in the AI race is understandable, 13 00:01:04,100 --> 00:01:09,740 not to mention the fact that Elon Musk explicitly claimed a month ago that he'll replace everything 14 00:01:09,740 --> 00:01:16,060 Microsoft does with a purely AI software company called Macro Hard. 15 00:01:16,060 --> 00:01:20,140 Everyone saw this tweet and was like, yeah, alright, Elon, okay, but Satya saw it and 16 00:01:20,140 --> 00:01:25,740 was like, oh, shit, and ran off to order someone to name another thing Copilot. 17 00:01:25,740 --> 00:01:32,060 The first handheld with AMD's beefy Strix Halo chip can perform nearly two times better 18 00:01:32,060 --> 00:01:38,060 than one of AMD's existing flagship handheld chips, according to YouTuber TheFox, who spells 19 00:01:38,060 --> 00:01:43,180 his name like it's his Nexopia user ID from 2005, and we love him for that. 20 00:01:43,180 --> 00:01:50,340 The old Foxhound also revealed that this handheld, the GPD Win 5 with the giant attachable battery 21 00:01:50,340 --> 00:01:57,060 on the back, you know the one, will start at 1600 USD for the lower powered Ryzen 385 22 00:01:57,060 --> 00:02:01,580 with the 395s version starting at 1850. 23 00:02:01,580 --> 00:02:08,420 Sure at lower TDPs, the Strix Halo chip gets around the same performance as the Ryzen HX370, 24 00:02:08,420 --> 00:02:14,460 which is close to the upcoming Ryzen Z2 Extreme, but starting around 25 watts and above the 25 00:02:14,460 --> 00:02:21,980 Ryzen 395 can do a lot better. It's just, you know, is that worth like $2,000? 26 00:02:21,980 --> 00:02:28,740 If you're more of a desktop only person, AMD just launched the Radeon RX 7700 non-XT, 27 00:02:28,740 --> 00:02:37,300 that's right, I said 7700. It's a new GPU based on the company's last gen RDNA3 architecture coming out two years 28 00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:45,340 after the XT version. AMD, if you're going for a nostalgia factor, I think you have to wait a bit longer. 29 00:02:45,340 --> 00:02:50,220 iPhone 17 owners are flooding the internet with complaints that their new slabs are getting 30 00:02:50,220 --> 00:02:54,540 scratched when they throw them without a case into their pocket or purse with their keys 31 00:02:54,540 --> 00:02:57,580 and custom knife collection. Wah! 32 00:02:57,580 --> 00:03:02,460 Apple has really dropped the ball here. Someone get to the bottom of all these reports. 33 00:03:02,460 --> 00:03:07,660 Thankfully, JerryRigEverything is confirmed via his professional skills and tools that 34 00:03:07,660 --> 00:03:11,900 scratching an iPhone 17 Pro with a razor blade will leave a mark. 35 00:03:12,020 --> 00:03:17,020 Okay, but seriously, the issue here has to do with the iPhone 17 Pro's anodized aluminum 36 00:03:17,020 --> 00:03:23,620 frame and certain decisions made by Apple about the design of the corners of the camera 37 00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:29,900 plateau. Zach from JerryRigEverything explains that this is why when you scratch the corner with 38 00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:34,780 a key, the corner will get scratched. Look, watch his video. 39 00:03:34,780 --> 00:03:40,300 I'm sure this is a big deal to people who love their naked phones, but I, you know, other 40 00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:45,060 people are pointing out that previous iPhone models also used anodized aluminum and they 41 00:03:45,060 --> 00:03:50,060 scratched easily, but that didn't qualify for the scandal gate treatment apparently. 42 00:03:50,060 --> 00:03:55,900 So throw a case on your phone, or don't, and keep scratching on and on until you get 43 00:03:55,900 --> 00:04:02,020 inside and scratch off the whole SSD inside the iPhone 17 Pro Max and replace it with 44 00:04:02,020 --> 00:04:05,700 another one like YouTuber Director Fang did here. 45 00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:08,700 You don't have to make it an ASMR video, though. 46 00:04:09,380 --> 00:04:14,380 Ugh. So you do end up calling your doctor and he's like, you know, that tech news feeling is 47 00:04:14,380 --> 00:04:19,980 actually totally normal. Take five quick bits and don't call me in the morning, you hypochondriac. 48 00:04:19,980 --> 00:04:27,580 You get some help. Not from me. The TikTok deal is real, an anonymous senior White House official told reporters today 49 00:04:27,580 --> 00:04:33,380 and it will involve ByteDance creating a US specific copy of the app's algorithm that 50 00:04:33,380 --> 00:04:37,900 a US-based joint group of investors can use on a lease. 51 00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:42,900 One of those investors is Oracle, who will also be responsible for security on the new 52 00:04:42,900 --> 00:04:47,900 All-American TikTok, which will only allow viral dances to country songs. 53 00:04:47,900 --> 00:04:52,300 None of that K-pop allowed, because that's Chinese. 54 00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:58,140 While the White House is brokering the deal, they will not be taking a stake in the new 55 00:04:58,140 --> 00:05:02,100 venture, which is something we have to clarify now. So that's fun. 56 00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:07,740 NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang confirmed on his joint investor call with Intel last week that NVIDIA 57 00:05:07,740 --> 00:05:15,660 's rumored N1 ARM-based PC processor and the GB10 SoC powering the company's DGX Spark 58 00:05:15,660 --> 00:05:20,220 Mini AI PCs that are already announced are actually one and the same. 59 00:05:20,220 --> 00:05:23,340 What? Now, there's still room for speculation here. 60 00:05:23,340 --> 00:05:28,300 Leaks have referenced both an N1 and N1X variant, but it's also worth pointing out 61 00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:35,300 that the GB10 slash N1, whatever it is, combines NVIDIA's GPU cores with MediaTek's ARM CPU 62 00:05:35,300 --> 00:05:42,300 cores. Will anyone care about that when Intel CPUs with integrated NVIDIA GPUs exist that were 63 00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:45,780 just announced last week? You have to answer that on your own. 64 00:05:45,780 --> 00:05:49,660 My brain is busy still thinking about how people don't put cases on their phones. 65 00:05:49,660 --> 00:05:55,940 Why? Lenovo has canceled some pre-orders for their upcoming Legion Go 2 Windows handheld because 66 00:05:55,940 --> 00:06:03,700 they received way more than they expected. They thought no one liked them and it wouldn't be right to hold on to their customer's money 67 00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:06,780 when the shipping date is uncertain. We don't want to do that to you. 68 00:06:06,780 --> 00:06:09,860 Oh, actually, I speak corporate ease. I can translate this. 69 00:06:09,860 --> 00:06:14,100 They're actually saying they could do without incessant emails tearing into their support 70 00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:19,460 staff over their order not being ready, like the customers in a fast food drive-through. 71 00:06:19,460 --> 00:06:24,060 Also, maybe just don't pre-order. Lenovo agrees with me, apparently. 72 00:06:24,060 --> 00:06:29,420 European airports are slowly recovering after a cyberattack caused delays and cancellations 73 00:06:29,420 --> 00:06:35,020 in London, Brussels, Dublin, Berlin, and more. 74 00:06:35,020 --> 00:06:42,500 There's a lot of cities in Europe. The cause was apparently ransomware that struck Collins Aerospace, the maker of software used 75 00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:49,100 by many airlines worldwide. Some say the hackers just wanted money, but they may also have demanded an end to those 76 00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:53,460 incredibly annoying cookie consent pop-ups every site had to add after the EU made it 77 00:06:53,460 --> 00:06:58,620 a law in 2009 because look, the European Commission is now considering reworking it. 78 00:06:58,700 --> 00:07:05,220 I'm not saying the hackers were right, but the pop-ups are really annoying. 79 00:07:05,220 --> 00:07:10,540 And Pope Leo XIV said in a recent interview covered by the Register that Vatican staff 80 00:07:10,540 --> 00:07:17,300 asked him for authorization to create an AI Pope that would match his personality so anyone 81 00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:20,780 could get a personal audience with the Pope. 82 00:07:20,780 --> 00:07:24,140 And Pope Leo was like, hey, f*** that. 83 00:07:24,140 --> 00:07:27,140 What is this? Only fans? Not verbatim. 84 00:07:27,340 --> 00:07:30,660 But I think that was the vibe. This AI stuff is really getting out of hand. 85 00:07:30,660 --> 00:07:34,700 The robots are now throwing themselves around, they're not even waiting for the testers 86 00:07:34,700 --> 00:07:38,340 to kick them anymore. What is it even doing here? 87 00:07:38,340 --> 00:07:44,140 It's trying to psych us out. But don't psych me out by saying you'll come back on Wednesday for more tech news and then 88 00:07:44,140 --> 00:07:49,700 not coming. Please. I just don't. 89 00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:50,660 I will believe you.
