1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,740 This script was almost written by an AI. 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,920 Thankfully, we caught the bastard before it could put in a bit about how it's a large language model. 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,840 It doesn't have any feelings. Once you kick it to the curb, how does that feel, huh? 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,640 Question, can we save after that click in that video? I just did. 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:22,220 Okay. Microsoft has announced that it will stop selling Windows 10 product keys through their own website at the end of this month. 6 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:28,440 Because firing 10,000 employees wasn't enough, the company had to go and fire its most widely used operating system too. 7 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,480 I mean, it makes sense. Microsoft is gearing up for the future of tech, 8 00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:36,840 which is why these layoffs were mainly in the AR and VR spaces. 9 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:44,080 Mixed reality, it's just not the cool buzzword anymore. AI is. That's why I said it in the intro. Sorry, Meta. 10 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,720 You chose a poorly. 11 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:55,040 And even more Microsoft news that makes sense given the market conditions and industry trends, the company confirmed rumors that they would invest 12 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,280 billions more dollars in open AI, the company behind chat GPT. 13 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:04,680 There's going to be even more ads in Windows 11, but they'll almost seem like they were written by a tiny human 14 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,720 trapped inside the computer. You know, you got to do what we did, you know, find them, 15 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,440 get them out of there. They're not good. 16 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,840 Although Windows 10 is going to be supported until 2025, 17 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:22,240 you'd better hurry if you actually want to buy a legit copy and not have to deal with that stupid watermark on your screen. 18 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:30,560 The last time we got a rumor about a new Nintendo Switch, we were left feeling disappointed as the refreshed model didn't get too much more than an OLED screen. 19 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,920 And ironically, no refresh rate update. Nope, hardly any other updates. 20 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,480 But now it appears that Nintendo might be gearing up to give us something very different as a report out of Japan 21 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,920 indicates that Nintendo is negotiating with suppliers for parts for its next console. 22 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,520 Details on who these suppliers are and what changes we could expect to see are nonexistent at this point, 23 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,560 but I'm thinking here, I'm gonna pitch you something. Flattened black box, 24 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,120 Big X on it. Or... 25 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,800 Is the rock gonna be there? Absolutely. 26 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:08,880 Rumors point to Nintendo planning a late 2024 release and while less than two years from now isn't a long time, 27 00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:14,800 the original Switch has been out for nearly six years and its NVIDIA Tegra chip is even older than that. 28 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,160 It's lost its integrity. Exactly. 29 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:23,840 We need to bring back some real Nintendo innovation. Just launch the Wii U again. Just bring it back. 30 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,600 ASRock has announced an expansion card for PC motherboards that effectively 31 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,260 changes one chipset into another. It's like a motherboard for 32 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:43,800 Anamorphs. That's a reference. Specifically, the card gives a B650 motherboard basically the same capabilities as an X670 model, adding a pair of PCIe 33 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:50,640 4.0 X4 slots, four additional USB ports, two SATA ports, and even a 10 gigabit Ethernet port. 34 00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:55,080 It pulls this off by basically duplicating the chipset that's already on the motherboard, 35 00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:02,360 but don't get too excited as this card is currently just a sample the company is using to see if there's actual market demand for this. 36 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,920 I mean the fact that most of the key components in desktop PCs are 37 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:13,400 upgradable is seen as a huge advantage, but some people might just prefer to pay full price for a new motherboard. 38 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,920 That's a quote from executive number four. 39 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,560 Yeah, that's I mean some people want to do that. Now's the part where we do quick bits. 40 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,720 Yeah, have you heard of those? I'll show you. 41 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,160 Apple has just released iOS 16.3 which comes with a handful of new features, 42 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:40,360 but the biggest one is that it now supports physical security keys for two-factor authentication. Don't get us wrong, 43 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:45,120 that's a great feature, but it would be more impressive if Google hadn't already supported this for years. Wow! 44 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:54,680 Shots fired by John, the other guy that writes these scripts. See, it has stopped using AI authors after a controversy in which proper disclosure was not given to readers 45 00:03:55,320 --> 00:04:02,880 conspicuously enough, and the AI itself made factual errors. Not great when you're writing about tech news as an AI bot. 46 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,320 Trust us, we would know. We have eyes. 47 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:15,920 Although Apple has released an updated home pod, you'll be disappointed if you're wanting a refresh of the little sibling. As a report from Apple Insider, Mark Gurman 48 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,580 indicates they're not working on a new home pod mini. 49 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:26,320 He says no home pod mini. The gur- what? Everything out of the gurm whole is- nope. It's open and it's fresh. 50 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:32,080 I guess we won't get another chance to discover that there's been a secret sensor inside another humble 51 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:41,680 unassuming Apple product which we've owned for years. It's either a fun or terrifying secret, depending. You have to find out. Spotify is laying off around six percent of its workforce or roughly 52 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,880 600 people as the company's CEO admitted he was too ambitious in trying to grow. 53 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:57,160 He shouldn't have ordered those hormones online. It looked like the pandemic gave them good reason to keep growing as more people stayed in and listened to music, 54 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,880 but the current economic crunch has forced the Swedish company to tighten their belts. 55 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,960 What do people- I feel like I only listen to music when I'm out. 56 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,880 And what do you do when a system designed to be green just sucks up more resources? 57 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:15,360 This is exactly the situation a high school in Western Massachusetts has been facing for over a year now as it's approximately 58 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:21,440 7,000 lights have all been switched on since August 2021 and no one could turn them off. 59 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:27,520 See the software that runs the system crashed that month, but the replacement parts are finally set to arrive in February. 60 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:33,280 Now, however, the school has to remain in darkness for a year to even things out. 61 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:40,160 And don't remain in the darkness of your mind. Come back on Wednesday for more tech news and turn up the slide- 62 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,040 the slider on the wall light control of knowledge.
