1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,040
China has said it released its very first homegrown open source operating system to

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,000
reduce its dependency on American tech. Which is concerning. They won't need America at all

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:17,600
once they develop their own way to deep fry a Snickers bar. I'm Riley Murdoch, this is TechLinked,

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:24,080
and this is OpenKylin 1.0, the most recent version of an operating system first launched in 2001.

5
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:29,200
According to Chinese state media, the software is based on Linux, was built by a community of

6
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:34,640
around 4,000 developers, and is used in its space program, as well as industries like finance and

7
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:40,320
energy. OpenKylin apparently gets its name from a mythical beast called the Chi Lin, meaning I've

8
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:45,040
been saying it wrong this whole time, which is fabled to appear alongside the imminent arrival

9
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:50,800
or passing of a sage. Probably passing, if that's a reference to Windows, it's so done.

10
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,760
And the OS gets most of its source code from the Linux distribution Ubuntu, with the register

11
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:04,080
finding hundreds of references to Ubuntu in OpenKylin's config files. So yeah, it's basically Ubuntu.

12
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:10,240
Turns out it's not as homegrown as Yiboishi would have you believe. It's made from scratch,

13
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:15,920
in the same way your mom's Bisquick pancakes are. Now I know this sounds like just another cheap

14
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:21,520
Chinese knockoff, but that's not true. 22 years of development and at least 4,000 developers

15
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:27,680
sounds pretty expensive to me. Apparently NVIDIA may have left the bag in too long,

16
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,480
because someone just spilled their bitter ass tea.

17
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:38,080
According to unverified claims from Russian YouTube channel ProHighTech, NVIDIA is pressuring

18
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:43,280
its board partners to stay away from Intel's battle mage cards by threatening to withhold

19
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:50,000
their own chips from any manufacturers that decide to work with Intel. What? No. NVIDIA?

20
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,480
The company that launched the GeForce Partner Program five years ago to force NVIDIA partners

21
00:01:54,480 --> 00:02:01,040
to use different branding on AMD graphics cards? Oh, yeah, I actually wasn't shocked just now.

22
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,600
NVIDIA might not even need to use these underhanded tactics though, because according to YouTuber

23
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:11,520
Moore's law is dead, Battle Mage's development is having major issues and won't release this year

24
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:17,040
as planned. It's possible it won't even launch until the second half of next year. G10, the planned

25
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,680
flagship die for Battle Mage, has apparently been nerfed harder than a toddler playing

26
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:27,360
dart tag with John Wick. Initially, it was designed to compete with NVIDIA's 4080,

27
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:33,680
but now it may end up slower than the 4070 or even cancelled. And these rumors don't seem

28
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:39,600
that far-fetched in the wake of Intel discontinuing their first-party a770 limited edition only a

29
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,240
couple weeks ago. Maybe they needed to stop production to focus on working out Battle Mage's kinks.

30
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:50,240
Hot. Or maybe they felt like they had to stop production after naming it limited edition,

31
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:56,480
although the Raptor Lake CPUs look nothing like dinosaurs and do not like water. So.

32
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,800
Explain that science. Tried rinsing it off. It complained. And Google has been testing their

33
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,640
medical AI chatbot in hospitals since April, bringing us one step closer to robot doctors

34
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:13,680
and even more uncomfortable prostate checks. Metal fingers get very cold. Might be less

35
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,640
comfortable though, because it's not like a person doing it. Please bend over. Google apparently

36
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:24,560
believes this AI named MedPom2 could really help in countries that have limited access to doctors,

37
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:30,160
according to an internal email. Speaking of internals, MedPom2 knows a lot about yours,

38
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:38,080
because unlike general-purpose AIs like ChatGPT, MedPom2 has been inside you. All along. MedPom2

39
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:43,200
has been trained on questions and answers from medical licensing exams, and even a curated

40
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,840
set of medical expert demonstrations. But hasn't been trained to romance other doctors like in

41
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,120
the hit documentary series, Grey's Anatomy? One of the hospitals testing the chatbot is the Mayo

42
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:58,320
Clinic, which you may know as the website you use as a second opinion after WebMD says you have

43
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:03,760
cancer. The Mayo Clinic is actually a massive not-for-profit research hospital that invests the

44
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,320
billions it makes in revenue into cutting-edge research, making numerous medical breakthroughs

45
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:16,000
throughout its 159-year history. Donate today. And now, its renowned doctors are testing an

46
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,760
algorithm that is reported to include more inaccurate content in its responses when compared to human

47
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,720
doctors. I mean, a lot of patients lied about how they got that shampoo bottle up there. It's only

48
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,920
fair their robot doctor returns the favor and tells them, congratulations, you're pregnant,

49
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:37,120
and the shampoo bottle's the father. You're in big trouble. You gotta suit up for child support.

50
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:41,440
Time to make some plans. You're having a butt baby. You're gonna have to provide for the

51
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:47,120
shampoo baby, for the shampoo butt baby. Did you know the quick bits are so quick, we don't even

52
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,920
always get to finish the intro because a community project has restored functionality to the old

53
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:58,240
Windows Update web pages, allowing PC users who just can't move on from Windows 95 to update their

54
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,280
OS. Now, the project devs warn that they're really doing this for the sake of preservation,

55
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:08,400
and currently the website only supports up to Windows 98, but the group plans to add support for

56
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:14,960
Windows ME 2000 and XP. Just in FYI, these aren't new updates. They're the old ones Microsoft

57
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,520
released back in the day. Also, the website is not affiliated with Microsoft, and you should use the

58
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,160
pages at your own risk. But at least now you can relive the days you spent in the computer

59
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,960
lab at your underfunded elementary school. Installing Quake, even though you're not supposed to.

60
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,200
What are you doing over there, gaming? For me, it was math circus.

61
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:38,960
Developers Sir Mangler and TRW have made it possible to get emulators running on all Xbox

62
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:44,160
Series consoles, not just the ones in developer mode. For a $2 subscription to their Patreon,

63
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,680
you can get access to Dolphin, RetroArch, and other emulators. While the old method of paying $19

64
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:55,040
for developer mode has always worked, Sir Mangler points out that some international users don't

65
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,400
have access to the payment options needed to pay the $19. Maybe you also want to share

66
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,440
emulation with your kids so that they can suffer as you suffered. Adversity, in the form of being

67
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,480
stuck on the same level for hours, builds character. Hey, you go, son. Ninja Gaiden. Get wrecked.

68
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,000
Eardetto, the way that I'm going to pronounce it, the company that owns digital rights management

69
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,680
software DeNuvo is out to prove that it does not hinder game performance, a complaint that's been

70
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:27,920
lobbed by everyone from Tekken 7 director Katsuhiro Harada to anonymous redditors trying to justify

71
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:33,600
why pirating is totally morally permissible. While some tests have seemed to prove DeNuvo's

72
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:40,000
negative performance impact, others have not, and Eardetto's COO told Ars Technica this is because

73
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,560
the tests that he agrees with are good, and the ones he doesn't agree with are flawed.

74
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:50,160
If you ask me, the only thing being proved in this debate is the existence of confirmation bias,

75
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:55,840
so NASA is sending their advanced Valkyrie robot to one of the most dangerous places in the known

76
00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:04,160
universe, by which we mean, Australia. It was founded by criminals. The robot is on loan to Woodside

77
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:10,160
Energy and Perth, where it will perform remote caretaking of uncrewed and offshore energy facilities.

78
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:15,840
For NASA, this is an opportunity to test Valkyrie's ability to perform routine, repetitive work

79
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,560
in dirty, hazardous conditions and inhospitable environments, such as the moon,

80
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:29,280
Mars, and your mama. And over the weekend, a smuggler was caught entering mainland China from

81
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:36,480
Macau with 420 hashtag blazid M.2 SSDs, which authorities estimated to represent a combined

82
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:43,280
value of $33,000. Only a few days later, another man was caught entering China from Macau with

83
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:49,440
306 Intel CPUs, but he gets no points for originality. That was just… do your own thing.

84
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,280
It's unclear how the first man was caught, but the second smuggler was discovered after

85
00:07:53,280 --> 00:08:00,800
border officials noted that he was walking funny. Shampoo bottle? Luckily, the undeclared parts

86
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,280
were discovered wrapped around his waist and legs, rather than having been stored in what is

87
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:10,880
traditionally known as the prison wallet, or as we call it, the shampoo womb.

88
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:18,400
Unless you're in prison, you'll be able to come back on Wednesday for more tech news,

89
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,040
as agreed to on the terms of your bail.
