1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,680 Hey guys, it's Riley from the video, and I just realized that I'm still filming the video. 2 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:14,720 So actually, I can't do this part yet. The Trump administration has clarified that its 125% tariff on China was meant to be announced 3 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:19,840 in addition to the 20% tariff Trump added as soon as he took office. 4 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:26,720 So imports of Chinese goods are actually subject to 145% tariff for the next 5 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,680 five minutes. Who knows? In response, China said, 6 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:42,240 Hey, what the heck, we'll do one more too. And bumped their tariffs on U.S. imports up to 125% and threw in a jab in their official statement 7 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,520 about the U.S. becoming an economic joke for good measure. 8 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:51,200 These are massive tariffs for two countries whose supply chains are so interconnected, 9 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:58,640 and they could lead to a product like the iPhone 16 Pro jumping from $1,000 to $3,500. 10 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,120 According to this analyst, wearing a truly unhinged suit jacket, 11 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:08,640 which frankly makes me question his credibility. Yet Bloomberg values his opinion. 12 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:14,080 Apparently this is something that Dan Ives does, and everyone pretends is okay. 13 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,560 Well, Apple expert Mark Gurman isn't pretending that iPhones could actually be made in the U.S. 14 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:30,000 He says it isn't going to happen. But 404 Media points out that it's not impossible to make a phone, almost entirely in America, 15 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:38,240 as proven by the Purism Liberty device, which has pretty outdated specs and costs $2,000 16 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,520 while its made overseas sibling, the Librem 5, goes for $800. 17 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:49,600 But it's possible if you're okay with your iPhone being sh*****. 18 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,960 But who knows, maybe Tim Cook will manage to squeeze an iPhone tariff exemption out of Trump 19 00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:02,240 like he did back in 2019. Speaking of exemptions, China's tariffs will not apply to products with semiconductors that 20 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:08,960 were fabricated in Taiwan, which is great news for AMD, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, and others. 21 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:17,360 And not great news for non-Taiwan based fabs like Global Foundries, Texas Instruments, and yeah, 22 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,560 Intel. They don't need this, they're already losing ground to AMD in China. 23 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,240 Interestingly, Intel's IPO feature, which allows some overclocking while maintaining 24 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,720 warranty coverage, is now available only in China. 25 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,680 You know, maybe let the rest of us have it. Intel, huh? You've really got nothing to lose. 26 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:43,280 But privacy enthusiasts are about to lose it again because Microsoft says they're preparing to try 27 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:49,360 again with the rollout of Windows Recall, the controversial AI feature that records everything 28 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,760 you do. Microsoft was a little surprised by the backlash when they rolled it out initially. 29 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,000 So after giving everyone some time to reset, they're flipping the switch again, 30 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,880 you know, turning it on and off. That should fix it. That's not entirely fair. In the newest release preview build for Windows Insider, 31 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:10,400 the feature requires users to opt in rather than opt out like the original, 32 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,720 while pausing the feature and controlling what's captured is apparently easier. 33 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:20,320 And Microsoft says the security protecting your Recall content is the same for any content you 34 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:26,720 have on your Windows PC, a class of device, famously known for its bulletproof security. 35 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:32,960 But even if someone's using the Fort Knox of PCs, some privacy advocates remain concerned, 36 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,760 not about whether the primary user has consented to having all of their stuff recorded, 37 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:44,800 but whether other people sending messages, info, I don't know, freaky pictures to that user 38 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,480 have consented. Isn't there someone you forgot to ask? 39 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,440 Also this week, Sam Altman announced that ChatGPT now has the ability to 40 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:59,680 reference all your past conversations so AI can get to know you over your life, 41 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,680 which is opt in by default, although you can turn it off. 42 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,600 Now we're talking about AI systems who have proven, in research, 43 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,520 that they can and will intentionally lie if they have a reason to. 44 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:17,760 So just be aware, your AI assistant may have just gotten an upgraded ability to gaslight you. 45 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,880 It's certainly true for me, I have the memory of a goldfish. 46 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:26,880 Rain or shine, tariffs or no tariffs, the Shipstorm sale event will help you get a great 47 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:32,880 deal at LTTstore.com. We are offering free, worldwide shipping on any order of over 150 US 48 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:38,560 dollars, so it's a great time to pick up some apparel or a commuter backpack or a screwdriver, 49 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,760 and we are offering a never-before-seen price on our magnetic cable management essentials bundle. 50 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,920 Don't miss it by heading to LTTstore.com at the link in the video description. 51 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,320 Back to you, Riley. Okay, I think that's it. 52 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,280 Hey guys, it's Riley from the video, and crap, we haven't done the quick bits yet. 53 00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:04,400 I don't. How does this work? After delaying pre-orders due to the tariffs, Nintendo has now announced that the first 54 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:11,120 pre-order invitations for the US and Canada will be sent out on May 8th to those chosen few 55 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,240 who fulfill the pre-order requirements for the Switch 2, which include having a previous 56 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,880 Nintendo Switch online subscription and a certain amount of play hours. The company is 57 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:26,560 reportedly doing its best to avoid increasing the console's price any more with plans to 58 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:33,120 redirect its supply streams to stay ahead of any sudden changes in tariffs that 59 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,280 radically disrupt the global economy. That's just kind of how things are now. 60 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,880 Thankfully, the Switch 2's pre-order requirements reduce the risk of scalping, 61 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,880 but users on the Nintendo Switch 2 subreddit are also getting involved, 62 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:52,800 reporting eBay listings for the Switch 2 since pre-sales of items that won't be shipped for 63 00:05:52,800 --> 00:06:08,400 40 days go against eBay's TOS. AMD has refreshed their Ryzen 7000HX mobile processors. The new 64 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:15,680 Ryzen 8000HX series appears to be identical to their predecessors, with the only obvious difference 65 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:22,880 as of now being a 0.1GHz higher boost clock on the Ryzen 98940HX. 66 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,880 But maybe in this crazy tech world right now, we need a little stability. 67 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,160 I'm not going to go through every new indie game announced in this year's 68 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:39,600 triple-I initiative showcase, but I will call out the stranded clone colony game, 69 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,800 the Alters, which is now coming out June 11th, Clover Pit, which is apparently 70 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,960 the demonic love child of Bellatro and Buckshot Roulette. 71 00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:54,560 How could you say no? Morbid Metal is a hack and slash roguelite where you 72 00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:01,760 shape shift between characters in real time, and Seafood developer Slow Clap made Rematch, 73 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,520 which you can think of as Rocket League, but without the cars. 74 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:13,360 Chinese robot company Unitry has posted yet another video of their G1 robot engaged in combat. 75 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:18,000 It's boxing this time. They seem weirdly obsessed with their robot's ability to 76 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:23,200 fight humans. I don't know what's going on there, but I do know that this touchable 3D 77 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:30,080 hologram developed by Spanish researchers uses rapidly vibrating elastic bands to both display 78 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:36,480 and detect finger position. So you can stick your hand in there and move a virtual item around, 79 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,200 as long as you're okay with holograms that feel like getting slapped by angry Jello. 80 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,080 You thought I was going to do something else with that story, didn't you? 81 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,960 But I wouldn't be angry at all if you came back on Monday for more tech news. 82 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,600 If you don't come back, then well, then yeah, I will be angry. 83 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,720 My personal feelings are entirely dependent upon external cues. It's more fun that way.
