WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.760 You aren't going to believe this, but there's been some tech news recently. 00:00:06.760 --> 00:00:10.680 Don't worry. We plan for this. It's just like the simulations. 00:00:10.680 --> 00:00:16.720 This is a simulation. Google seems to have a monster under its bed named ChatGPT. 00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:20.560 The recent launch of the popular AI chatbot has set off alarms at Google, causing the 00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:26.720 company to call in its dads for help. Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the founders of Google and controlling shareholders of the 00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:30.880 parent company Alphabet, have come back to the company after having left their daily 00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:34.760 roles back in 2019, also known as the Before Times. 00:00:34.760 --> 00:00:43.640 To do whatever men under 50 with unlimited money can do, which is literally anything. 00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:49.080 The pair were invited by current CEO Sundar Pichai last month to offer advice and pitch 00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:54.400 ideas. Google plans to launch over 20 AI products by the end of the year, including a demo version 00:00:54.400 --> 00:00:59.560 of its search engine with chatbot features. 00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:04.280 This is very exciting news for the company's AI division, and everyone but the 12,000 people 00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:09.720 in other departments who are being laid off by Google do allegedly two economic downturn. 00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:16.240 It's robots. The company is also facing several antitrust lawsuits, which is the opposite of trust from 00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:22.800 Epic and Match LLC, as well as the US Department of Justice. 00:01:22.800 --> 00:01:27.640 All this pressure could end up hurting Google bad, especially if Bing can implement chatbot 00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:31.480 features first, and someone notices. 00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:36.280 DuckDuckGo has when it just says, turn off your computer. 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:41.800 Twitter has officially banned third-party clients, but why should we care about third? 00:01:41.800 --> 00:01:45.880 Bronze is a subpar metal that went out of style 3,000 years ago. 00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:50.920 And yet, while that is completely true, Twitter may have not been super upfront about how 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:57.200 or why they were doing this. The official Twitter dev account said that the platform was enforcing its long-standing 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:02.320 API rules, and then neglected to, you know, name a rule. 00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:06.320 Then yesterday, Engadget noticed that Twitter had added a clause to the developer agreement 00:02:06.320 --> 00:02:11.280 that banned the ability to use or access the licensed materials to create or attempt to 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:17.120 create a substitute or similar service or product to the Twitter applications. 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:22.080 The company that made Twitter-ific, the third-party client that actually coined the term tweet, 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:26.280 released a blog post saying that the social platform has become a Twitter that we no 00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:32.040 longer recognize as trustworthy, or worth coming up with fun colloquialisms for. 00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:37.560 That's not part of the quota. In a fun coincidence, that same Twitter, now owned by Elon Musk, also known as Buffalo 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:42.480 Bill Dodger, is being sued for refusing to pay the consulting firm that assisted in the 00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:47.840 lawsuit the company launched against Musk when he tried to back out of buying it. 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:52.760 That is amazing. I tried coming up with an analogy for the situation, but it's just too wacky. 00:02:52.760 --> 00:02:58.600 The situation is the joke itself. It befuddles analogies. 00:02:58.600 --> 00:03:04.200 And the Secure Boot feature on at least 300 MSI motherboards is not working as intended, 00:03:04.200 --> 00:03:11.440 depending on who's doing the intending. For the uninitiated, I almost said unintended, Secure Boot is a feature in motherboard firmware 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:16.800 that ensures PC's only boot software that is trusted by the motherboard manufacturer. 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:22.040 However, security researcher David Putaki discovered hundreds of MSI motherboards would 00:03:22.040 --> 00:03:28.200 let just any old software boot. Motherboards have no standard these days, but don't worry, MSI has responded to the 00:03:28.200 --> 00:03:31.360 findings and according to them, it's working flawlessly. 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:35.640 The manufacturer said they added a second setting called Image Execution Policy that 00:03:35.640 --> 00:03:40.480 is set to always execute software by default, even though Secure Boot is enabled. 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:45.960 They said the default always execute setting is to offer a user-friendly environment, which 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:51.120 makes perfect sense. Think of how user-friendly it would be to not have a front door. 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:55.160 You could just walk right into your house and not have to lock anything when you leave 00:03:55.160 --> 00:03:58.400 and when you're really mad, no one knows. 00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.480 And your counters are super clean because everyone stole your stuff? You got nothing to apologize for. 00:04:02.480 --> 00:04:07.960 Minimalism. According to WCCF Tech, this behavior may not be isolated to MSI. 00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:12.400 They claim that ASUS and Gigabyte boards may also have issues with securing their boot. 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:17.840 I guess no one knows how to tie their shoes anymore. Might as well be slip-ons! 00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:22.800 That never made it in frame, but I almost hit the camera. Now I'm taller on one side. 00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:26.120 Fails all around when nerds try to throw. 00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:30.120 Our quick bits are guaranteed to get right through your defenses and attack your funny 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:35.120 bones. Before you poop and melt. How humorous is that? 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:41.520 U.S. mobile provider T-Mobile has admitted they were hacked. 00:04:41.520 --> 00:04:45.000 Well, they admitted some of it to some people. 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:49.200 In a press release, the company stated the breach was shut down within 24 hours of being 00:04:49.200 --> 00:04:54.400 detected. What they didn't mention there, but they did mention in an SEC filing was that the data 00:04:54.400 --> 00:05:00.520 of 37 million customers was hacked and that the breach wasn't detected for over a month. 00:05:00.520 --> 00:05:04.520 But once they detected it, now you have a reason to switch to AT&T that doesn't involve 00:05:04.520 --> 00:05:08.760 an unhealthy obsession with the women from their ads. Leave Lily alone, guys. 00:05:08.760 --> 00:05:16.720 It's worth getting a VPN in Canada for. Speaking of SEC filings, Yum Brands, the parent company of KFC, Taco Bell, and other 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:21.320 toilet runers, admitted they also had data stolen. 00:05:21.320 --> 00:05:26.280 They suffered an attack from a ransomware gang so bad over 300 locations in the UK were 00:05:26.280 --> 00:05:31.880 forced to shut down. Thankfully, all locations are back up and running, so you can panic eat fried chicken 00:05:31.880 --> 00:05:34.280 as you wait for something to hack you. 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:46.680 Chris Fix, a German repair service that was sent 48 Radeon RX 6000 cards with cracked GPUs 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:51.440 in a matter of weeks, thinks they may have figured out just what happened. 00:05:51.440 --> 00:05:55.880 After determining most of the cards were bought second hand, the repair shop posted a video 00:05:55.880 --> 00:06:00.560 explaining that they believe the cards were sold by crypto miners and somehow water got 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.600 trapped under the chip and that expanded when the card got hot. 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:09.040 Chris Fix thinks they were stored in a human environment while Reddit thinks they were 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:13.360 hosed down by miners before sale like in that viral clip. 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:17.560 Some Vietnamese miners have cleaned up their old graphics cards after Ethereum merged by 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:24.280 bathing them with extremely high risk. You gotta ask yourself what's more important, a clean card or a card that doesn't explode? 00:06:24.280 --> 00:06:28.840 That's a tough one. It's like free fireworks. Gotta keep it clean. 00:06:28.840 --> 00:06:32.200 Explosions, though. Back on the menu, baby. 00:06:32.200 --> 00:06:38.120 Melting 4090s are back in the news because Cablemod's 12 volt high power cable has now 00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:46.360 gotten a little extra kishby. Reddit user HumbleBrilliant654 posted pictures of the cable on the site and thankfully Cablemod 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.520 has promised to replace the product. 00:06:49.520 --> 00:06:53.880 Humble swore that he inserted the cable into the GPU properly and that he had been using 00:06:53.880 --> 00:06:57.600 it for two months. Or you know, someone's lying on Reddit. 00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:01.120 So that's crazy. They would get downvoted. 00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.360 As a 16 year old girl, I can tell you Reddit's honest. 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:11.080 16F Kali. And Wizards of the Coast have finally apologized for trying to release a new, worse version 00:07:11.080 --> 00:07:15.360 of the current open gaming license, which allows creators to make and publish content 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:22.760 for the Dungeons and Dragons RPG. Just after Pathfinder publisher Pezzo announced 1500 companies have pledged their support 00:07:22.760 --> 00:07:32.560 for the OGL alternative, the open RPG Creative License, or ORC, we're calling it ORC, Wizards 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:36.440 of the Coast said that they would no longer deauthorize the earlier version of the open 00:07:36.440 --> 00:07:41.480 gaming license, except that they still are just not for content already published under 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:48.080 the earlier version. I guess that's a half lie, which is only half as bad as their last statement. 00:07:48.080 --> 00:07:51.360 So at least they're improving. Half elf, half orc, half ling. 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.360 Half ling. Half demigod. Demi-more. 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:59.040 And our tech news coverage is improving every episode, so make sure you come back on Monday. 00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:02.080 There may be kittens. Orc kittens. 00:08:02.080 --> 00:08:05.080 Just corkins? Durable, brutish kittens. They're so cute and strong. 00:08:05.080 --> 00:08:08.080 The time of the kitten has ended. The time of the orc is now. Me, meow. 00:08:08.080 --> 00:08:08.580 Now it's the time of the orc.
