Oh my god, it worked! You can hear me? And see me? We did it!
From now on, no more scams. Although, I did just get a really intriguing email that I just-
Really no! Giant tech channel and tiny person LinusTekTips
Was hacked yesterday, but in even worse news, so were we.
Not even Techquickie came out unscathed. In a video on the LTT channel Linus himself explained the attack
But I think I can do a way better job
Someone here at LMG opened a file they thought was from a potential sponsor
But turned out to be malware that let hackers steal browser cookies and turn three of our channels into crypto scam peddlers
This isn't the first time something like this has happened on YouTube, and that's a massive understatement
It happens all the time. They even got the British Army's YouTube channel last year. I wonder who the fake sponsor was
Probably either Lockheed Martin or Twinings, the tea company. The joke is they like tea in the
Britain. And it turns out this issue has been widespread for some time. Sully on YouTube released a video back in January
Explaining this hacking method using findings based on a six-month investigation
So hopefully Google comes up with a way to stop Colton from opening any more files sent from totallyrealpdfs.com
They got them. There have been more developments in the sundae romance between Microsoft and Sony
The UK's Competition and Markets Authority has updated its stance on Microsoft's proposed Activision buyout
Apparently the CMA now thinks Microsoft has more to lose by withholding call of duty from PlayStation than it has to gain
So there's not much risk to competition in the console gaming market
However, they still believe the deal raises concerns for the cloud gaming market for some reason and will finalize their investigation next month
So will Sony Chan finally let their guard down and admit their feelings to ex-baka?
Maybe not since it came out that Arkane Studios
Canceled an in development PS5 version of their upcoming game Redfall after Microsoft acquired the developer
Prompting Microsoft to issue a statement pointing out They hadn't pulled any games from PlayStation that were already available on the system and that the first two games
They shipped after buying Xenomax were actually PS5 exclusives. Oh, and what's the big deal?
Sony controls 98% of the high-end game market according to US senator Maria Cantwell in Japan's doing nothing about it
That statistic is a hundred percent true if you're specifically referring to Japan's market where no one has an Xbox
And if you use the FTC's high-end console market definition that specifically excludes the Nintendo switch and PCs
PCs those are Bottom of the barrel. Hey, just remove the data. You don't like that science and open AI announced that they will be adding
Plug-ins to chat GPT the chatbot currently only has access to data from up to the year
2021 but several third-party plug-ins can give it access to more up-to-date information
The plug-ins are currently in early alpha, but they already look incredibly useful
There's an Expedia plug-in that can help you plan trips and a Wolfram plug-in
Which they demonstrated on Twitter that allows chat GPT to stop sucking it math
Just write the numbers you like most that's math plus open AI even announced a first-party plug-in to give chat GPT access to the web
So we can all go back to ignoring Bing the way God intended according to open AI
They decided to use plug-ins to connect chat GPT to the internet because they believe it reduces the risk of hallucination
And is the most secure method of connection to a worldwide repository for filth and sin
But I don't know how much to trust open AI's definition of security since someone hacked their API and found at least 80
Secret plug-ins one of them is called the crypto prices plug-in and another is called the Dan plug-in
Which I assume is the plug-in you call when the crypto prices plug-in hacks your channel and uses Elon Musk's face to scam your subscribers
They say that the quickest bit of them all carries a big iron on his hip
Framework has announced a 16-inch laptop and don't worry Linus didn't ask us to talk about this to maintain
Journalist's integrity. He actually doesn't talk to us at all. This new framework laptop has an adjustable
Booty you want a larger graphics module make its booty bigger just some extra cooling make that booty a little smaller
These modules can also be used externally like an external GPU and
Hey, if booties just don't do it for you the keyboard is also modular, but there's no nipples yet
Rockets start up relativity space launched a rocket made amazingly
Entirely out of 3d printed components on Wednesday announcing it on Twitter as an absolute win
Except that it failed to reach orbit because its second stage didn't ignite properly, but you know relative success
Oh But you know what I don't see any of you printing rockets and shooting them into the sky
Instead you're just printing functional bearings and cute little presents for your friends and bringing everyone around you joy
Well, I hope you're happy
Genuinely, I hope I hope you're happy Hacking teams have won thousands of dollars at this month's Pone to Own event in Vancouver yesterday
$475,000 in prizes were awarded for hacking platforms like Microsoft Teams and the Ubuntu operating system Ubuntu
Ubuntu Ubuntu a single bun to one team was able to hack a Tesla Model 3 as a reward
They received a hundred thousand dollars and a Tesla Model 3 the car
They just hacked isn't that kind of like rewarding the bomb squad for diffusing an explosive by giving them another bomb that someone else can
Congratulations
Speaking of explosives USB drives rigged to explode when plugged into a computer were sent to five journalists in Ecuador earlier this week
Causing one of them to suffer quote Mild hand and face injuries which probably makes having a USB drive explode in your face sound a little too banal
That's just mild injuries Sketchy USB drives have been in the news plenty of times over the years
But they're usually infecting the target systems with malware not using them as a power source to detonate themselves
It's a good reminder to be wary of strange drives that arrive in the mail and always use protection
It'll make it harder and Harvard physicist Avi Loeb is planning a one and a half million dollar tropical ocean expedition
To look for fragments of the first meteor confirmed to have come from outside our solar system which crashed into earth in 2014
Loeb and his team said the meteor was unusually tough, which Loeb believes might mean that it's an artificial construct from
Maybe aliens I just the man either really wants to find aliens or is really good at coming up with excuses to plan fully funded
Excursions to Baba New Guinea, and you're really good at coming back on Monday for more tech news
There will be news there will be tech there will be man speaking to camera
It's got everything
