WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.760 Oh, hey, bud, can't wait to see what kind of interesting tech news you brought today for me. I got what's that? You don't have any 00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:13.760 Hey, that's okay You can have some of mine 00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:27.780 Reviews are up for Intel's new Panther Lake laptop processors aka the core ultra 300 series led by the flagship Intel core ultra 00:00:28.540 --> 00:00:35.500 X9388H Yes, Intel complicated their naming scheme again by throwing some X's in there 00:00:35.500 --> 00:00:42.220 But before you use that pitchfork in your hand to do something you'll regret listen to this these chips are pretty good 00:00:43.060 --> 00:00:51.780 In single core the X9388H is at the front of the pack for Windows laptop chips only being beaten by the Apple M4 and M5 00:00:51.860 --> 00:00:56.180 While in multicore it beats the M4 and nearly matches the M5 00:00:56.300 --> 00:01:01.580 Which you know runs at a much lower wattage so it's got less power to work with but it looks like it's pretty 00:01:01.900 --> 00:01:06.620 Efficient too, and we haven't even talked about the integrated Arc B390 graphics 00:01:06.620 --> 00:01:14.020 My favorite hyper-focused youtuber the Fox found that when matched watt for watt it even beat AMD Strix Halo 00:01:14.380 --> 00:01:18.940 aka the most powerful chip you can get in a gaming handheld in some games although 00:01:19.180 --> 00:01:23.260 Yeah, they went back and forth, but do you under get do you understand guys? 00:01:23.260 --> 00:01:30.500 Are you picking up? What is being placed on the ground? Intel's back as the Verge says call it a comeback 00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:34.660 You can indeed do that now time to chill us out here for a second 00:01:34.660 --> 00:01:40.140 Okay, because yes, these are still laptop chips, and it remains to be seen how good the desktop 00:01:40.500 --> 00:01:48.380 Nova Lake lineup will be when it launches this fall, but Intel seems confident team blues graphics guru Tom Peterson told club 00:01:48.620 --> 00:01:56.300 386 that they're not bothering to build their own version of Strix Halo because AMD's integrated GPUs are not that 00:01:56.580 --> 00:02:02.940 Competitive the vast majority of gaming handhelds and consoles use AMD graphics while there's like 00:02:03.620 --> 00:02:09.540 Two Intel ones, so I'm not sure what competition Tom is referring to here, but we love the confidence 00:02:09.540 --> 00:02:17.260 Yes, Intel Microsoft has confirmed that it handed over bit locker encryption keys to US law enforcement during an investigation 00:02:17.620 --> 00:02:23.500 Early last year Reopening the long-running debate over who actually controls your encrypted data 00:02:23.860 --> 00:02:30.260 According to multiple reports the company provided a set of bit locker recovery keys to the FBI to help unlock 00:02:30.460 --> 00:02:36.100 Suspects laptops and Microsoft has been very clear that this wasn't a one-off event 00:02:36.260 --> 00:02:43.060 Apparently the company gets requests for keys around 20 times a year and guess what if the government asks under the right legal process 00:02:43.700 --> 00:02:47.100 They do it again. We don't care. We're Microsoft 00:02:47.620 --> 00:02:55.420 The key detail is how this happens Microsoft says it can only provide keys that are already stored in its servers 00:02:55.420 --> 00:03:02.140 If you sign into Windows with a Microsoft account bit locker keys are automatically backed up linking them to every machine 00:03:02.140 --> 00:03:09.260 You sign into from Microsoft's perspective turning those keys over is no different than responding to any other lawful data request 00:03:09.260 --> 00:03:16.140 But it's worth pointing out that at one time it was normal and expected for companies like Apple and Google to 00:03:16.220 --> 00:03:21.220 Fight said requests and try to protect their users privacy a little more 00:03:21.740 --> 00:03:28.740 Microsoft may have forgotten that but privacy advocates haven't with Senator Ron Wyden saying it is simply 00:03:29.020 --> 00:03:34.220 Irresponsible for tech companies to ship products in a way that allows them to secretly turn over users encryption keys 00:03:34.260 --> 00:03:36.260 Say louder for the people in the back 00:03:37.260 --> 00:03:41.980 I'll wait luckily Windows workarounds for signing in with a local account only 00:03:42.380 --> 00:03:47.620 Seem to still work and Microsoft does say that they will delete the keys at your request 00:03:47.780 --> 00:03:55.540 So it's not all bad Still the real alternative is to just install Linux if you don't want the big man upstairs finding your 00:03:56.140 --> 00:04:01.020 Just enormous stash of cat photos. Yes, you have a problem 00:04:01.020 --> 00:04:04.380 But maybe the government isn't the best entity to lead your intervention 00:04:04.380 --> 00:04:10.940 TikTok users panicked a little bit after the US version of the app now officially controlled by the mostly American 00:04:10.940 --> 00:04:17.500 TikTok USDS joint venture LLC prompted them to accept the new terms of service and privacy policy 00:04:17.820 --> 00:04:21.940 Posts quickly spread online claiming there was all sorts of scary new clauses 00:04:22.140 --> 00:04:25.700 Including one about collecting info on a user's immigration status 00:04:26.380 --> 00:04:32.420 Gender identity or sexual orientation, but it turns out that stuff was already in there pre 00:04:33.580 --> 00:04:39.660 Americanization and mostly lines up with the type of data collected by other social media apps. Don't worry 00:04:39.820 --> 00:04:43.380 They collect pretty much everything about you, which is normal 00:04:43.620 --> 00:04:50.180 However, there were three major changes that may be concerning precise GPS location is now up for grabs 00:04:50.180 --> 00:04:52.740 If you give the tick tock app permissions for that 00:04:53.300 --> 00:04:56.780 Interactions with AI features weren't even mentioned in the previous policy 00:04:56.780 --> 00:05:02.700 And now those can be collected too and that data can be used to personalize ads elsewhere on the web 00:05:02.740 --> 00:05:10.140 Not just on tick tock so concerning stuff for sure, but it's more like the bog standard privacy concerns 00:05:10.140 --> 00:05:15.820 We've gotten used to rather than new concerns about getting disappeared by the US government 00:05:15.820 --> 00:05:21.180 Which is very much a concern for many right now, but the stuff in this privacy policy, that's familiar 00:05:21.180 --> 00:05:25.500 I mean this almost feels nostalgic now as if to emphasize all of this hubbub 00:05:25.660 --> 00:05:32.180 Tiktok had a big outage today which combined with the privacy concerns may have driven tick tock alternative 00:05:32.500 --> 00:05:38.820 Upscrolled to the number 12 spot on the iOS app store. Okay. How are those? Do those feel okay? 00:05:39.140 --> 00:05:43.700 You don't you want to pick one of the quick bits? Maybe okay. It's just you know 00:05:44.340 --> 00:05:50.740 It's just like beggars can't be choosers, you know, like you didn't you didn't you didn't bring any and that's fine 00:05:51.140 --> 00:05:57.940 Microsoft is dealing with yet another patch Tuesday face-planned after admitting their latest Windows 11 security update 00:05:58.140 --> 00:06:04.980 Left some PCs completely unable to boot sticking users with an unmountable boot volume error 00:06:05.100 --> 00:06:10.260 The company admits it doesn't know yet what combination of hardware or settings triggers the issue 00:06:10.620 --> 00:06:17.700 Only that reports of the bug are limited and it only seems to affect real computers not virtual machines 00:06:18.060 --> 00:06:24.340 Because those aren't real Hey, remember back when updates actually fixed things instead of just making them worse? 00:06:24.340 --> 00:06:30.740 And here's the part where Grayson wants me to do a very specific reference to Ford versus Arari. Can we have more of that please? 00:06:31.900 --> 00:06:39.180 More of that old girl The good updates the team behind these stop-killing games movement in the EU announced that 00:06:39.740 --> 00:06:46.780 1.3 million of the total 1.4 million signatures collected for the EU citizens initiative have been 00:06:47.300 --> 00:06:53.020 Verified only 1 million were needed to ensure that the issue is discussed at the European Commission 00:06:53.020 --> 00:06:55.660 So now it'll no doubt be discussed 00:06:56.740 --> 00:07:04.500 0.3 million Harder the goal of stop-killing games is not to force companies to host live-service games forever 00:07:04.500 --> 00:07:10.580 It's just to give gamers an option to keep playing whether that's locally hosted servers or a proper offline mode 00:07:10.740 --> 00:07:16.940 Whatever just something and the country that apparently cares the most about that is Germany 00:07:16.940 --> 00:07:23.660 Where they know that game companies waiting to fix this until after people have complained is just inefficient 00:07:23.660 --> 00:07:26.900 It's much simpler to make it perfect the first time 00:07:27.780 --> 00:07:35.260 Try to try it the US Department of Transportation plans to use Google Gemini to draft new regulations 00:07:35.540 --> 00:07:38.900 aiming to dramatically speed up rulemaking by 00:07:39.340 --> 00:07:47.300 Having the weird new alien robot thing make them up per internal records leadership isn't seeking perfection or even very good 00:07:47.300 --> 00:07:52.820 Rules apparently they just want good enough considering this agency handles railways and 00:07:53.340 --> 00:07:56.520 Frickin airplanes is good enough really the goal 00:07:56.820 --> 00:08:04.140 Maybe Gemini can hallucinate some regulations on in-flight entertainment the last time I flew the mask of Zorro wasn't available 00:08:04.140 --> 00:08:08.780 And to calm down in the middle of the air. I really need my Spanish sword fighting movies 00:08:08.780 --> 00:08:16.060 man JBL's new band box speakers come with an offline AI button that can split songs into 00:08:16.180 --> 00:08:23.180 Individual stems letting you selectively mute parts of songs such as vocals or individual instruments 00:08:23.180 --> 00:08:29.820 The processing happens locally on the speaker not in the cloud sort of giving you the same effect as a multi-track recording 00:08:29.820 --> 00:08:35.580 Instead of just listening to an mp3 JBL pitches it as the perfect little speaker for practice 00:08:36.100 --> 00:08:42.660 karaoke Remixing stuff on the fly and hey if you use it to remove the guitar from AC DC songs 00:08:42.980 --> 00:08:50.580 Maybe you'll finally unlock Angus Young's mystical powers of flight still a mystery to science and youtuber retro game addict 00:08:50.820 --> 00:08:52.820 successfully ordered Domino's Pizza 00:08:54.260 --> 00:09:00.020 And that's the end congrats to him Now he did it using a 20 year old Nintendo Wii 00:09:00.420 --> 00:09:10.700 Thanks to the Wii link project Resurrecting Nintendo's long-dead online services the aptly named food channel started life as the Japan only 00:09:11.060 --> 00:09:15.220 Deme channel back in 2006 before Nintendo shut everything down in 00:09:15.900 --> 00:09:19.940 2017 we link a community project launched in 2020 00:09:20.340 --> 00:09:26.620 Rebuilds those servers and pipes your orders through the modern API used by Domino's 00:09:26.620 --> 00:09:29.620 I would never have guessed there's a secret society of 00:09:30.180 --> 00:09:35.460 Nintendo Wii playing pizza lovers who refused to let this eccentric method of ordering die 00:09:36.460 --> 00:09:39.460 But learning that there is makes me so happy 00:09:39.460 --> 00:09:43.860 But it would make me even happier if you came back here for more tech news on Wednesday 00:09:43.860 --> 00:09:49.220 And maybe you know you could bring some of your own tech news next time too 00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:54.060 You know as was discussed at length in the email Sharon sent out multiple times 00:09:54.060 --> 00:10:00.140 Do you need help fixing your internet because I can I just just just you know looking forward to seeing it, okay? 00:10:00.780 --> 00:10:02.780 Okay, okay.
