WEBVTT 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. 00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:10.800 AMD's Ryzen 9 7950X3D is launching tomorrow and reviews are already calling it the fastest 00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:16.080 processor for gaming. I mean it should be, since it's the successor to the 5800X3D, 00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:23.200 the world's first 3D CPU. All the other ones were only NVIDIA games. 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. 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 00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:40.480 hear anything about the slightly more affordable 7900X3D, which launches at the same time, 00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:43.920 you're gonna have to wait at least 24 hours. Who am I, Jack Bauer? 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 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 00:00:54.560 --> 00:01:00.080 performance to the 7950X3D for $100 less until after they sold a bunch. 00:01:00.080 --> 00:01:05.040 A big change to the X3D lineup from last generation is increased overclocking support, 00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:11.760 as the 7000X3D chips will support using curve optimizer and auto overclocking with precision 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:16.880 boost overdrive in the Ryzen Master software. But if you were hoping for finer control, 00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:21.680 I'm afraid this ain't it. You'll just have to settle for a CPU 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 00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:33.680 and have a big ol' think about phone passcodes, because multiple people have been locked out 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:39.600 of their Apple IDs after having their iPhones stolen. See, thieves can do this, because for 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 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, 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 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 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 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:14.640 your bank account password saved in Apple's password manager. Since all you need to get 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 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? 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 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. 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 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. 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 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 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:09.920 people out of installing Windows 11 on unsupported devices, Windows started begging users to do 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.720 just that. Last week, upgrade promotion banners started appearing on devices that did not meet 00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:19.680 the minimum specifications for Windows 11, including those without the trusted platform module chip 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 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 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:37.360 virtual machine. Microsoft? That's a fake computer. It's not real. 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:44.320 You can't upgrade an idea without my help. Fortunately, it seems Microsoft caught the 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 00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:54.240 support document from Bill Gates' old stomping ground, which is the best description of Microsoft 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 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. 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:09.360 Classic, Jake. They're always doing these funny jokes. Gaffs? Of course, in that case, 00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:13.680 some insiders installed the upgrade before they realized it wasn't just a release preview for 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 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. 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 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? 00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:37.840 Google, one of the wealthiest corporations on the planet, is now asking employees of its 00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:43.520 cloud division to share desks. In an attempt to transition off of working from home, 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 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. 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:59.440 Aren't they the cloud division? Work from home! 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. 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 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, 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. 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:31.200 Counts for something. Four components, the battery, display, rear panel, and the USB-C module, 00:05:31.200 --> 00:05:36.160 were all specifically designed for self-repair. Meanwhile, HMD also announced they want to 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 00:05:41.200 --> 00:05:45.680 really matter. What matters is the subsidies Nokia is getting for moving production to Europe. 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:50.640 Badminton Dorf? Sure, sounds fine. Sounds like a town line is made up. 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, 00:05:58.080 --> 00:06:03.200 and is initially only available to Snapchat plus subscribers. A subscription service I just learned 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? 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 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 00:06:19.200 --> 00:06:25.280 haiku, unlike my so-called friends. Why did you write it like that? 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:30.000 Why did you want a cheese-based haiku? Why do you love cheese so much? 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:36.800 Beijing Behemoth Xiaomi has announced wireless AR glasses powered by the same chip as the MetaQuest 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 00:06:43.760 --> 00:06:49.840 government. Cool. The glasses feature micro OLED displays as well as electrochromic lenses that 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. 00:06:56.880 --> 00:07:02.320 While the glasses are wireless, they need to be paired to a Snapdragon Spaces-ready device. 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. 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.880 It's an XR development platform that's based on Snapdragon chips. 00:07:11.840 --> 00:07:18.880 Huh? And today on Pokemon Day, the Pokemon Company revealed more details about Pokemon Sleep, 00:07:18.880 --> 00:07:24.720 the mobile app they announced back in 2019. Things were different. The game is essentially 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:29.760 a sleep tracker that allows you to attract different Pokemon to your in-game island. 00:07:29.760 --> 00:07:35.120 The island of the mind. Dream space. And a Snorlax is there. 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:40.160 What kind of Pokemon visit depends on what kind of sleep you get. So no pressure. 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.600 I slept horribly last night. I'm never gonna get a articuno. 00:07:44.640 --> 00:07:49.840 If you doze, you might see a Bulbasaur. But if you slumber, a cucumber. 00:07:49.840 --> 00:07:54.960 The Pokemon Go Plus Plus was also announced with Pokemon Go and sleep functionality. 00:07:54.960 --> 00:07:59.840 Apparently it contains a Pikachu that will sing you lullabies, which is super cute until you 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. 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. 00:08:11.840 --> 00:08:15.280 Just like, subscribe, and whatever, and you'll get the thing, you know? 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!
