1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,360 Okay, hey, hey, I just finished watching all the Andorre episodes for this week, so so yeah here in it made me cry 2 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:13,360 Here's tech news Microsoft is giving another shot at rolling out Windows Recall the AI feature 3 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:21,040 Exclusive to co-pilot plus PCs that records everything you do and inspired huge backlash over security and privacy concerns 4 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:27,960 When it was first announced Microsoft eventually recalled recall, but it's been nearly a year and I mean 5 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,680 You guys forgot all about that, right? So I'm just gonna slip this in here. Let me slip this into your system 6 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,880 Just don't worry about it. Yeah, don't mind me to be clear 7 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,640 If you don't have a new co-pilot plus laptop with an NPU in it 8 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,560 You're not gonna get this feature and Microsoft has tried to make it very secure 9 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:52,960 It's opt-in has various filtering options requires you to encrypt your data and unlock it with Windows 10 00:00:52,960 --> 00:01:00,040 Hello, and they say it's processed entirely locally and not shared with Microsoft or anyone else, but 11 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,640 Some think recall can never be properly secure because did you think about other people? 12 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,880 Sending sensitive info to a person with a recall laptop 13 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:17,440 Even if it's deleted on the laptop it could live on as a recall snapshot and then get stolen by a hacker who dupes 14 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,440 Windows Hello using a 3d printed replica of your face 15 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,400 I told you you shouldn't have posted the model on printables.com 16 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:31,840 Thankfully recall apparently can be completely uninstalled something. I still don't entirely believe but in the same update 17 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:37,000 Microsoft is also rolling out the AI powered improved Windows search and 18 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:42,920 Click to do which will let you hold the Windows key and click to see contextual actions 19 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,080 You can take depending on the content of your screen. It's like a right click, but 20 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:53,880 Um, it's a right click, but Microsoft giveth and take it away. You're getting new AI features 21 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,240 But Microsoft is killing Windows Maps. Oh 22 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:04,600 No, don't worry Bing Maps is alive and well. Hello. No, no, no, no, no, no 23 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:12,280 It's not just open AI everybody wants to buy Chrome during Google's search antitrust remedies trial 24 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:20,360 Yahoo search exec Brian provost testified that his company is totally down to acquire Chrome the value of which he 25 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:26,480 Estimated at tens of billions of dollars and that's a sum that he claims Yahoo can procure 26 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:33,100 possibly through methods involving the occult or 3d printed face masks at a AI search company 27 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:39,840 Perplexity meanwhile would actually prefer that Google keep Chrome rather than sell it to someone like open AI 28 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,640 Who already expressed their interest, but if a sale is forced 29 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,020 Then sure perplexity would also like to buy one Chrome, please 30 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:56,720 It would work well with their CEO Erivin Srinivas's plan to build a browser with even more user tracking to enable 31 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:05,080 hyper-personalized ads He knows users don't like ads, but they haven't even experienced ads that know what you dreamt about last night 32 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:12,520 Don't knock it till you try it Srinivas made the comment on a podcast with two finance bros who look like they start each day with 33 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:19,000 Smoothies made from cocaine and season one of succession. They don't sprinkle in any media literacy. It makes it taste worse 34 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,360 Perplexity's real problem with Google isn't Chrome though. It's their restrictive policies 35 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:30,820 Perplexity's app will be pre-loaded on Motorola's phones including the new lineup of razor folding phones 36 00:03:30,820 --> 00:03:37,900 But it won't be the default assistant because Google allegedly wouldn't let that be anything but Gemini 37 00:03:38,060 --> 00:03:40,940 Which doesn't have ads yet, but when it does 38 00:03:41,460 --> 00:03:44,180 They're gonna be medium personalized at best 39 00:03:44,580 --> 00:03:49,740 YouTube is doing what they do best and experimenting with new ways to make their platform worse 40 00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:53,340 Some users have reported seeing a new video player UI 41 00:03:53,820 --> 00:04:00,860 Complete with glitched out elements now some of these screenshots are from systems that clearly have some YouTube altering 42 00:04:00,980 --> 00:04:07,340 Extension installed so I'm not sure how worrisome this is. I'd prefer to worry about our sponsor 43 00:04:07,340 --> 00:04:12,260 No, just kidding not yet I'd prefer to worry about Google testing a YouTube version of AI 44 00:04:12,620 --> 00:04:17,620 Overviews a YouTube blog post says they're testing a new video results carousel 45 00:04:18,060 --> 00:04:25,420 For some premium subscribers in the US which will use AI to highlight specific clips from videos relevant to your search 46 00:04:25,420 --> 00:04:32,620 Now however that plays out Google will probably tell investors that it went great in their Q1 financial results 47 00:04:32,620 --> 00:04:39,220 The tech giant bragged that AI Overviews in search have 1.5 billion users per month 48 00:04:39,460 --> 00:04:46,860 Proving you too can successfully grow a user base if you make your new service something people have to scroll past in order to use your old 49 00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:54,620 Service developers pay attention these quick bits aren't as good as and or almost nothing is and I have to be okay with that 50 00:04:54,980 --> 00:05:00,300 Gigabyte has responded to reports from a small number of users who noticed some kind of gel 51 00:05:00,820 --> 00:05:09,060 oozing out from their RTX 50 series GPUs the company admitted that for some early production batches of their graphics cards 52 00:05:09,420 --> 00:05:18,580 someone in the factory May have added a bit too much of the specially formulated thermal gel that's used in place of thermal pads 53 00:05:18,580 --> 00:05:22,980 It shouldn't affect the performance of the card. It's just you know, someone thought hey 54 00:05:23,580 --> 00:05:28,580 Might as well put some extra gel in there You know don't tell me you've never gotten a bit excited about gel 55 00:05:28,900 --> 00:05:32,620 pre-orders for the Nintendo switch to went live this week and they were 56 00:05:33,220 --> 00:05:39,780 Predictably a bit of a gong show with store sites buckling under the weight of hordes of handheld gamers 57 00:05:40,220 --> 00:05:46,820 Mashing f5 to get their orders in and they have stronger than average fingers despite Nintendo's strict requirements for pre-ordering 58 00:05:47,220 --> 00:05:50,380 Reports of pre-order scalping have already emerged 59 00:05:50,380 --> 00:05:55,220 So watch out for those listings and also watch out for switch to game cards 60 00:05:55,860 --> 00:06:01,180 Pretending to be a game card when really they're a game key card that just lets you download the game 61 00:06:01,780 --> 00:06:05,460 Apparently most third-party switch to games will be like that 62 00:06:06,260 --> 00:06:13,860 Aka There'll be liars Meta has announced that they'll be cracking down on spammy content on Facebook and 63 00:06:14,260 --> 00:06:18,700 Reducing monetization and reach for that kind of stuff on the platform 64 00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:22,100 And you know, they're not sure how or why that stuff got on there 65 00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:28,620 It's certainly not because Facebook themselves have heavily incentivized the flooding of their own platform with AI slop 66 00:06:28,620 --> 00:06:33,100 It can't be that but however it got there they are putting their foot down 67 00:06:33,100 --> 00:06:39,180 This stuff's got to go and we all agree on that and the slate truck is an entirely American made 68 00:06:39,660 --> 00:06:44,540 Compact electric modular vehicle with no stereo and a price of 69 00:06:45,380 --> 00:06:53,220 $20,000 after federal EV rebates making it perfectly designed to address multiple issues plaguing the current economy 70 00:06:53,220 --> 00:06:59,580 It's actually weirding me out a little bit slate auto did some gorilla marketing with the slate truck to demonstrate 71 00:06:59,580 --> 00:07:06,980 How its minimalistic gray body can be almost endlessly customized, but they're not selling these outside of the US and now 72 00:07:07,020 --> 00:07:13,700 I'm okay with Canada being the 51st state.
