00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.400
Where am I? Well, how did I get here? What? Oh, well, I guess we'll never know it's heck news time

00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:13.160
Sony and Microsoft are continuing the most high-stakes tug-of-war match since squid game and well

00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:18.780
Things are starting to get weird like the show squid game or just a squid

00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:24.940
Sony's latest attempt to gain back some ground is to accuse team Xbox of

00:00:25.580 --> 00:00:30.500
Future sabotage the PlayStation manufacturer claims that if the merger goes through

00:00:30.940 --> 00:00:38.580
Microsoft might release a PlayStation version of Call of Duty where bugs and errors emerge only on the game's final level or

00:00:38.820 --> 00:00:44.500
After later updates the first off that's an extremely specific hypothetical scenario

00:00:44.500 --> 00:00:52.780
Why wouldn't they sabotage it earlier in the game and second levels call of duty is like pornography very little of the audience cares about the

00:00:53.500 --> 00:00:59.700
Meanwhile, Activision executive Lulu Cheng meservay has claimed on Twitter that when the publisher offered Sony

00:01:00.300 --> 00:01:07.260
Guaranteed long-term access to Call of Duty in a closed-door meeting the CEO of Sony interactive entertainment Jim Ryan replied

00:01:07.260 --> 00:01:12.720
I don't want a new Call of Duty deal. I just want to block your merger

00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:20.840
It's pretty good, but we take this quote with a grain of salt

00:01:21.240 --> 00:01:28.740
Mezzervay previously argued that the success of HBO's The Last of Us adaptation meant Microsoft should be allowed to buy Activision

00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:32.120
because acquiring one of gaming's biggest publishers and

00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:40.680
Producing a TV show based on one of your games are comparable somehow on the other hand Sony's sabotage claims are also pretty wacky

00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:46.520
So maybe she is telling the truth and the fact that this deal is taking so long is kind of starting to mess with people's heads

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:54.200
Epic Games have officially launched self-publishing tools on the epic game store after a year and a half in closed beta in their latest attempt

00:01:54.200 --> 00:02:01.360
To compete with Steam if you didn't know literally every detail epic CEO Tim Sweeney has you covered by tweeting all of it

00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:06.280
Hey, Tim, that's our job Of course steams offered self-publishing for some time

00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:11.360
But there are some nice benefits to self-publishing on epic rather than steam for starters

00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:16.360
Epic takes a fixed 12% commission on game sales while steams commission starts at 30% and

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:25.760
Decreases at certain sales milestones Publishers on epic can also keep a hundred percent of the money earned from in-game purchases if they use their own payment system on the flip side

00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:31.800
This probably means a lot of free-to-play live service games will be seen on the epic game store rather than where I

00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:36.840
Personally would like them tied to a wooden stake being engulfed by flames, right?

00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:44.000
But all the things I don't like which there is a big caveat though unlike steam epic doesn't allow porn

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:47.560
I guess you'll have to go literally anywhere else on the internet for that

00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:56.320
Such a hassle Just ask Bing and Discord has decided that it too will be adding AI features

00:02:56.520 --> 00:03:03.800
First the platform's resident robot Clyde will be given a chat GPT upgrade so that users can talk to Clyde by asking questions

00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:08.120
Or even include Clyde in group conversations with you and anyone else on your server

00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.480
Finally, I made my first Discord friend

00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.680
Discord is also using AI to power up their auto mod feature

00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:21.800
Which will be able to find and alert a server's moderator when a rule is broken while keeping in mind

00:03:22.160 --> 00:03:28.240
The context of a conversation, which I'm sure will come in handy whenever the topic of 1930s Germany

00:03:28.880 --> 00:03:33.600
Innocently pops up Discord will incorporate an AI powered

00:03:34.200 --> 00:03:41.520
Conversation summaries feature that will sort a server's messages into summarized topics to allow users to catch up on the conversation more easily

00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:47.200
After being away doing other things like you know talking to their family touching grass other cliches

00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:54.400
In other news Discord voice chat is now officially available on ps5 after being in beta for over a year

00:03:54.800 --> 00:04:00.960
Finally ps5 users can natively hear from all the Xbox users that have slept with their moms moms

00:04:01.480 --> 00:04:04.720
Okay, it's time for another quick bits intro

00:04:06.040 --> 00:04:15.680
I guess that was it Alright Meta is looking to compete with Twitter in a way that's different than the way it already competes with Twitter by making their

00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:20.600
Very own Twitter the decentralized text-based social network is codenamed

00:04:21.280 --> 00:04:25.240
p92 not to be confused with p90x the horrible

00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.000
Torture session led by Skeletor as I call it stay away from it

00:04:31.080 --> 00:04:38.960
It's easy to remember the difference though p92 is a social media platform while p90x is meant to make you feel better about yourself

00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.720
Opposite so Have you been on Twitter?

00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:52.240
Scientists claim to have discovered a room temperature superconductor a material that can conduct electricity without resistance and would

00:04:52.640 --> 00:05:03.360
revolutionize modern electrical systems Ironically the paper detailing this material is facing a lot of resistance since one of the authors of the paper claimed the same thing

00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:11.080
two years ago in another paper and That paper was retracted for misleading data, but he's probably not lying this time

00:05:11.440 --> 00:05:20.640
He wouldn't You got you got caught already. Why would you he's a bit of a fixer-upper a new retail motherboard from ASUS has all of its

00:05:20.640 --> 00:05:25.280
Connectors on the back to help aesthetically-minded PC builders hide their cables

00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:35.760
The board is called BTF which apparently stands for back to the future a name that may rub both acronym and

00:05:35.960 --> 00:05:41.440
80s movie enthusiasts the wrong way what the announced board supports Intel CPUs as of now

00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:45.760
But we don't yet know if AMD will get it back to the future part, too

00:05:51.320 --> 00:05:56.200
SSD manufacturer Sabrin has teamed up with SSD controller maker faizan

00:05:56.200 --> 00:06:02.240
What a great pair to develop a PCIe Gen 5 SSD that could potentially reach read speeds of

00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:07.300
14,000 megabytes per second so far the pair have reached a speed of

00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:13.320
12,398 megabytes per second which experts are calling pretty fast

00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:18.320
The SSD is still under development, but Sabrin appears confident

00:06:18.320 --> 00:06:23.160
They will eventually reach their target speed and when they do I probably won't buy it

00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:29.920
It sounds very expensive and the hot new trend among car manufacturers is removing AM radios from their electric vehicles

00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:34.320
But Ford is being even more brave and removing it from their gas-powered

00:06:34.840 --> 00:06:42.960
2024 Mustang now they had already removed it from the electric f-150 lightning claiming as other automakers have that electric engines generate

00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.200
electromagnetic noise that interferes with an AM radio

00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:50.560
So I guess the excuse this time will be that the internal combustion engine

00:06:50.760 --> 00:06:54.640
Generate sound noise that makes it harder to hear the radio for

00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.800
Listen, just just say no one uses AM radio. You want to cut costs?

00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:05.880
It's not that it's not that hard to say use your words Just like how it's not that hard to come back on Monday for more news of the tech variety

00:07:06.080 --> 00:07:11.320
Man, you're gonna have a great weekend, and then you get more tech news. I'm so jealous of you right now

00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:17.960
Linus, what are you doing here? I didn't know you worked here
