1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,760 All you want to know what I'm always reaching for down here is my little friend. 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:10,800 AMD's Ryzen 9 7950X3D is launching tomorrow and reviews are already calling it the fastest 3 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:16,080 processor for gaming. I mean it should be, since it's the successor to the 5800X3D, 4 00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:23,200 the world's first 3D CPU. All the other ones were only NVIDIA games. 5 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:29,200 But AMD didn't just make the sequel, it made three separate sequel attempts with different budgets. 6 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:34,880 The 7950X3D is the most expensive of the 3D cash-equipped trio, but if you were hoping to 7 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:40,480 hear anything about the slightly more affordable 7900X3D, which launches at the same time, 8 00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:43,920 you're gonna have to wait at least 24 hours. Who am I, Jack Bauer? 9 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,920 Yeah, the press didn't get review samples of the cheaper one, which is either a very unfortunate 10 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,560 shipping error, or maybe AMD didn't want a risk showing that you can probably get comparable 11 00:00:54,560 --> 00:01:00,080 performance to the 7950X3D for $100 less until after they sold a bunch. 12 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,040 A big change to the X3D lineup from last generation is increased overclocking support, 13 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:11,760 as the 7000X3D chips will support using curve optimizer and auto overclocking with precision 14 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,880 boost overdrive in the Ryzen Master software. But if you were hoping for finer control, 15 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,680 I'm afraid this ain't it. You'll just have to settle for a CPU 16 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:28,400 that is already the world's fastest for gaming. Ah, come on! Apple and Google need to sit down 17 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,680 and have a big ol' think about phone passcodes, because multiple people have been locked out 18 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:39,600 of their Apple IDs after having their iPhones stolen. See, thieves can do this, because for 19 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:47,360 some reason, you can use your phone passcode to reset your Apple ID password on iOS and your 20 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:53,520 Google account on Android. So all a potential thief has to do is see you enter your passcode, 21 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,800 steal your phone, which is bad enough, but from there, they can change your password, lock you 22 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:03,440 out of all of your Apple devices, and turn off Find My iPhone. Well, at least they can't access your 23 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:09,840 bank account, right? Don't bank on that! Exactly, because, well, actually they can, if you have 24 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,640 your bank account password saved in Apple's password manager. Since all you need to get 25 00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:22,000 access to it is, say it with me. The iPhone Passcode. So dumb. I mean, sometimes they might 26 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:28,640 also have 2FA via text, but they already have your phone. So that don't help much, does it? 27 00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:35,280 Again, Android phones suffer from the same passcode security flaw, although you can't use that to 28 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:41,840 get an Android Titanium credit card. Plus, 99% of these types of thefts happen to iPhone users. 29 00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:46,400 I guess thieves also hate green bubbles. I can't even send high-quality photos of all the stuff 30 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,520 I stole to my bros. Ah, I'd rather go to jail. That's what I imagine them saying. 31 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,800 What is that? That's classic thief. That's what a thief sounds like in my mind. It's like a 32 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:03,520 California bro. I love stealing stuff, man. Steal these waves. And not long after trying to annoy 33 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:09,920 people out of installing Windows 11 on unsupported devices, Windows started begging users to do 34 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,720 just that. Last week, upgrade promotion banners started appearing on devices that did not meet 35 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,680 the minimum specifications for Windows 11, including those without the trusted platform module chip 36 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:26,400 that Windows won't shut up about. Security, eh? One of the first people to notice this issue was 37 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,840 Phantom Earth 3 on Twitter, who was offered a Windows 11 upgrade while running a Windows 10 38 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:37,360 virtual machine. Microsoft? That's a fake computer. It's not real. 39 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:44,320 You can't upgrade an idea without my help. Fortunately, it seems Microsoft caught the 40 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:49,200 issue quickly, fixing it on the same day it was noticed. Wow, at least according to an official 41 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:54,240 support document from Bill Gates' old stomping ground, which is the best description of Microsoft 42 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,880 I've ever heard. Turns out this isn't the first time this has happened. Last June, hundreds of 43 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:04,000 Windows insiders were able to upgrade to Windows 11 because of a similar goof from the company. 44 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,360 Classic, Jake. They're always doing these funny jokes. Gaffs? Of course, in that case, 45 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,680 some insiders installed the upgrade before they realized it wasn't just a release preview for 46 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:19,600 Windows 10. Microsoft, we get that your newer OS is faster and has a bigger number, but we'll 47 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,000 upgrade when we're good and ready, okay? You're suffocating me. I want to move out. 48 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,920 Quick bits were invented in 1692 by Quentin Nick Bitworth, because he was too lazy to say 49 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,520 his entire name. I bet you didn't know that fact I just made up, did you? 50 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,840 Google, one of the wealthiest corporations on the planet, is now asking employees of its 51 00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:43,520 cloud division to share desks. In an attempt to transition off of working from home, 52 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:49,120 employees have to figure out how to avoid being in the office on the same day as their company 53 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:55,680 assigned desk partner, or be relegated to operating only the right or left side of their shared computer. 54 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,440 Aren't they the cloud division? Work from home! 55 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:08,080 Laptops, are you kidding me, Google? Two months ago, you had 31 massage therapists on the payroll. 56 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,800 What is half of your workforce at a time going to do about muscle aches from sitting at half of 57 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:18,960 a desk now? HMD, the company that has the rights to make Nokia phones, it's a weird situation, 58 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:25,120 has partnered with iFixit to make a phone you can repair yourself. At least a good portion of it. 59 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:31,200 Counts for something. Four components, the battery, display, rear panel, and the USB-C module, 60 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:36,160 were all specifically designed for self-repair. Meanwhile, HMD also announced they want to 61 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,200 produce devices in Europe. They didn't specify where, it's a big place, because that doesn't 62 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,680 really matter. What matters is the subsidies Nokia is getting for moving production to Europe. 63 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,640 Badminton Dorf? Sure, sounds fine. Sounds like a town line is made up. 64 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:58,080 Snap, Inc. has decided to make a chatbot. The bot is powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT, of course, 65 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:03,200 and is initially only available to Snapchat plus subscribers. A subscription service I just learned 66 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,960 existed right now as I'm reading this. Wow. It's existed since June of last year, really? Why? 67 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:14,000 Anyway, my AI as Snap are calling it seems to be designed as another friend you can message on 68 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,200 Snapchat, except the bot won't ask annoying follow-up questions if you ask for a cheese-based 69 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:25,280 haiku, unlike my so-called friends. Why did you write it like that? 70 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,000 Why did you want a cheese-based haiku? Why do you love cheese so much? 71 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:36,800 Beijing Behemoth Xiaomi has announced wireless AR glasses powered by the same chip as the MetaQuest 72 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:43,760 Pro. And the thing is, they look pretty cool. Like, freely give your personal data to a foreign 73 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:49,840 government. Cool. The glasses feature micro OLED displays as well as electrochromic lenses that 74 00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:56,880 will automatically darken so you can focus less on reality and more on virtuality. The better one. 75 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:02,320 While the glasses are wireless, they need to be paired to a Snapdragon Spaces-ready device. 76 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:08,000 Another thing I don't know what it is. So it looks like iPhone users and thieves are out of luck. 77 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,880 It's an XR development platform that's based on Snapdragon chips. 78 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:18,880 Huh? And today on Pokemon Day, the Pokemon Company revealed more details about Pokemon Sleep, 79 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:24,720 the mobile app they announced back in 2019. Things were different. The game is essentially 80 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,760 a sleep tracker that allows you to attract different Pokemon to your in-game island. 81 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:35,120 The island of the mind. Dream space. And a Snorlax is there. 82 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:40,160 What kind of Pokemon visit depends on what kind of sleep you get. So no pressure. 83 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,600 I slept horribly last night. I'm never gonna get a articuno. 84 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:49,840 If you doze, you might see a Bulbasaur. But if you slumber, a cucumber. 85 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,960 The Pokemon Go Plus Plus was also announced with Pokemon Go and sleep functionality. 86 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,840 Apparently it contains a Pikachu that will sing you lullabies, which is super cute until you 87 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:06,720 realize he can never leave. That feels problematic. I mean, he's a figment of your imagination so. 88 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,840 But it won't be problematic to come back on Monday for more tech news because it's as easy as can be. 89 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,280 Just like, subscribe, and whatever, and you'll get the thing, you know? 90 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,520 That lets you know Wendy's video is done cooking. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah!
