00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.680
If you've never seen this show before, I don't know what to tell you, I just, so I'll just start doing the tech news.

00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:13.040
The Nintendo Switch 2 has been out for only one day and an exploit has already been discovered

00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:17.440
that allows a knowledgeable user to display custom graphics on the screen.

00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:26.800
And sure, the custom graphics demoed here by blue sky user David Buchanan is like a tiny line floating in front of some grayscale pixels.

00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:31.440
But the important thing is Nintendo's probably pissed about this, those are not official pixels.

00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:38.480
As far as console exploits go, this one's pretty shallow and the consensus among Switch hackers right now amounts to

00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:42.000
everyone please sit down, this is gonna take a while.

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:49.440
Particularly as Nintendo is not effing around this time, reserving the right to brick tampered consoles.

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:56.400
The good news is, you don't need to hack the Switch 2 to use almost anything as a webcam, including smartphones.

00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:05.040
Bad news is, iFixit did a Switch 2 teardown and they think the new joysticks look like they might still be vulnerable to stick drift.

00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:14.720
Why didn't they use Hall Effect sensors? I don't know. They also found the new Switch harder to repair than the original, giving it a repairability score of 3 out of 10.

00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:22.160
They were so mad about it. iFixit went back and downgraded their score of the original Switch from an 8 out of 10 to a 4.

00:01:22.160 --> 00:01:26.080
Yeah, that'll piss Nintendo off, which again is the goal.

00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:34.160
If you want a Switch 2 while online stock goes real fast, it seems like retailers are getting regular restocks in store.

00:01:34.160 --> 00:01:40.480
I mean, look at this scalper selling a Switch 2 for very close to MSRP. Nature is healing.

00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:48.400
Just be aware that your gamechats are probably being recorded, but at least it's recording and transcribing even the bad words too.

00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:54.800
So you can say Mario has a poopy butt and f*** goombas and Nintendo has to put that on the screen.

00:01:54.800 --> 00:02:02.320
That'll be so embarrassed. YouTube has informed users with a premium light subscription that in addition to seeing ads on music content,

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:07.600
they're going to see ads on shorts now too, because while these users have been paying 8 bucks a month,

00:02:08.880 --> 00:02:15.600
advertisers pay a lot more than 8 bucks a month and that makes it hard to not show your cute face more ads.

00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:22.240
You know? The change was first spotted in an email received by a member of the Twitter forum,

00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:31.600
corroborated by German site Deskmotor, and ads on shorts are now mentioned on the official YouTube premium plans page and in a Google support article.

00:02:31.600 --> 00:02:39.280
So it seems like premium light subscribers who watch YouTube shorts are just going to have to deal with ads while they swipe through family guy clips.

00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:45.280
Parts of the tech industry are reeling from the collapse of Elon Musk's bromance with Donald Trump.

00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:51.760
In a June 3rd tweet, Elon called the congressional spending bill, known as the big beautiful bill,

00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:55.440
an abomination because of how pork filled it was.

00:02:55.440 --> 00:02:59.360
And I didn't expect him to follow kosher rules for multiple reasons.

00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:06.400
Also, I thought that was just like its nickname, but no, it's literally called the one big beautiful bill act.

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:11.920
And how could you not vote for that? Trump responded on his own social platform to say,

00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:16.160
Hey, we want to save money? Let's terminate Elon's government contracts.

00:03:16.160 --> 00:03:20.480
And then Elon was like, fine, I'll decommission the SpaceX Dragon crew module,

00:03:20.480 --> 00:03:28.320
which would leave US astronauts asking for rides up to the ISS from Russia, or even worse, from Boeing.

00:03:28.320 --> 00:03:34.640
But don't worry, space fans, a random reply guy told Elon to cool it, and that was enough to make him walk it back.

00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:40.960
Twitter truly is the town square. Of course, all of this kerfuffle made Tesla investors panic.

00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:45.680
A not uncommon effect of Elon opening his mouth in 2025.

00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:51.920
But Tesla stock also took a dive because the BBB will also make things worse for EV companies

00:03:51.920 --> 00:03:57.920
and owners in a number of ways, including removing government incentives for EV and solar.

00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:04.640
Musk actually supported removing those in 2021, along with incentives for oil and gas companies.

00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:10.080
But the triple B keeps those while screwing over EV and solar.

00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:15.840
And to make matters worse, a cargo ship full of EVs just caught fire. Coincidence?

00:04:17.200 --> 00:04:21.520
I'm not, it's a stupid joke. I don't think they're even Teslas. But hey, there's one silver lining.

00:04:21.520 --> 00:04:28.720
In desperation, Tesla is offering 0% financing on cyber trucks if you also buy the full self-driving package.

00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:33.680
You can see how long you can drive one around until some maniac torches it.

00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:40.080
Or better idea, check out our sponsor. Okay, for the newbies, before we start the quick bits, I gotta warn you

00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:49.920
they're about to start. OpenAI has filed to appeal a ruling in its ongoing court battle with the New York Times

00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:55.600
that forces the AI company to retain all of the chatGPT output data of its users,

00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:00.320
which they don't want to see, especially after seeing a lot of what people say to chatbots.

00:05:00.320 --> 00:05:07.200
It's gross. Sam Altman tweeted that talking to chatGPT should be like talking to a lawyer or a doctor,

00:05:07.200 --> 00:05:13.280
because those are the people you ask about weird red bumps in your armpit, not Sam Altman.

00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:18.960
In other AI news, Reddit sued Anthropic for not licensing the platform's data

00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:22.240
when Google and OpenAI and everybody else already has.

00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:23.680
Why don't you like me, Dario?

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:32.960
Too much. Sorry, one more AI story. Owners of Samsung phones will soon have the option to display lock screen ads

00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:38.560
featuring AI-generated versions of themselves wearing the advertised products.

00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:43.600
It's collaboration with Glance, a service that has offered lock screen ads for some time,

00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.720
and it will be opt-in, but it seems kind of weird to me,

00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:52.480
if only because the idea of someone else dressing me in some random outfit is not right.

00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:58.880
That's my wife's job. Another private lander has made it to the moon only to fail to stick the landing.

00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:03.760
But it's a lander. It had one job. Can we get some cats designing the next one?

00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:12.480
Alright. Anyway, Japanese company iSpace said after their resilience lander had one of its laser

00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:16.560
sensors malfunction, it crashed itself into the moon in shame.

00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:21.360
After Apple's latest motion for a stay on the US app store ruling was denied,

00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:27.440
the company is trying to argue with the EU about the use of a comma in article 5.4 of the

00:06:27.440 --> 00:06:32.480
Digital Markets Act. There's a line that says gatekeeper companies, Apple in this instance,

00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.560
shall allow business users free of charge to communicate and promote offers,

00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.680
including under different conditions, and then it goes on for a while,

00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:43.040
and to conclude contracts with those end users.

00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:47.440
Apple thinks the and to conclude contracts with end users bit at the end

00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:52.880
isn't part of the things that are supposed to be free of charge list.

00:06:52.880 --> 00:06:57.600
The EU who wrote the legislation thinks it is part of the list.

00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:06.640
I don't know. Tough one to call. And if you've seen foodies commenting meatball and other names of food under cooking related

00:07:06.640 --> 00:07:10.560
social posts, they're trying to get the recipe of the dish in the pick.

00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:15.360
It's part of a system that allows social accounts to avoid writing link in bio.

00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:21.040
Instead, users reply to the post with meatball and get a DM with the recipe.

00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.520
Some users still find it confusing though.

00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:28.560
AlyssaLunch tried writing, This recipe is really important to me.

00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:35.280
Okay, then why aren't you commenting meatball? I've said meatball enough times now that it's starting to sound like a sport.

00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:39.040
I would actually like to play, depending on the meat.

00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:45.680
And let's make a deal. Meatball me back here on Monday and I'll send you the recipe for more tech news.

00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.360
It's only you got one step and it just says click the video.

00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:53.440
All right, who's down to toss the old meatball around?
