1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,740 Aw, look at you with your little mobile device or computer and your cute hairdo coming in 2 00:00:05,740 --> 00:00:11,040 here to get caught up with the tech news, that's um...that's adorable. 3 00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:15,000 Apple's recent troubles with selling Macs are even worse than everyone thought. 4 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,160 An IDC report claims that Mac shipments in the first three months of this year were down 5 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:25,080 40% compared to Q1 last year, and that's even worse than PC shipments overall, which were 6 00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:30,760 down by about 30%. As analysts, they're trying to determine a possible cause for the dip, occurring at 7 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:36,160 a time when breakfast cereal costs more than your hourly wage, but so far, nothing checks 8 00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:41,520 out. Apple admitted to investors last week that its overall revenue had dropped 5% compared 9 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,840 to this time last year, which isn't much, but hear me out, it might be time for Microsoft 10 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:52,320 to strike, because according to people on Reddit, Windows on ARM runs kind of well now. 11 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:58,320 I haven't paid attention to it since 2021, when an M1 MacBook ran Windows 10 in a virtual 12 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:04,280 machine better than the flagship ARM-powered Surface, but now Windows 11 apparently has 13 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:10,720 great ARM support, to the point where processor maker Ampere's new 128-core Ultra Dev Kit 14 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:17,840 supports Windows. It might need all 128 of those cores to keep up with the MacBook, but do we want to buy 15 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,520 the $2,000 Dev Kit, or wait until MacBook Airs are more expensive than that? 16 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,000 We want to wait? Yeah, okay, I'll drop it. 17 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,760 One of YouTube's wacky experiments from last year has actually come to fruition with enhanced 18 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:37,280 bitrate 1080p for YouTube Premium members rolling out first on iOS. 19 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:42,400 And while this might seem lame to non-Premesters, would you rather have the 20 ads in front 20 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:48,120 of a video? We should be thanking YouTube for enacting one of the less garbage ones. 21 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:54,280 Furthermore, the premium 1080p experience apparently is in fact being enhanced over and above 22 00:01:54,280 --> 00:02:01,440 the non-Premium peasant, stinky, normal 1080p quality, which is not being degraded. 23 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,640 YouTube found a way to make their platform better, but only for those willing to pay 24 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,160 a monthly subscription. Hm? What? 25 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:14,600 What? Oh, so I thought I heard someone say Twitter. Actually, if YouTube's following Elon's lead, here's an idea, let YouTube Premium 26 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:21,160 subscribers see dislike counts again. Would make bullying people easier, but you paid for the privilege, so. 27 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,840 And MSI has confirmed it was the victim of a cyberattack last week. 28 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:30,320 Ransomware Group Money Message claimed responsibility and said it was able to steal source code 29 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,760 and BIOS firmware for which it wants MSI to pay $4 million to recover. 30 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,760 So they figured, after we do a hack, we send a message asking for money, so we thought, 31 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,880 hey, the money message made sense. 32 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,560 It's unclear whether the hackers thought about their plan as much as their name, though, 33 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,960 because even if MSI did pay the ransom, there's no way to ensure the hackers don't copy 34 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,960 the data and exploit it, so MSI still has to invalidate a bunch of certificates and rewrite 35 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,040 stuff anyway. It should have gone with inconvenience message. 36 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:08,560 MSI is urging users to only download firmware slash BIOS updates from its official website, 37 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,360 but maybe hold off updating your BIOS for a little bit just to make sure you're getting 38 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,360 the good one and not the one made to look legit by the guys who apparently also took 39 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,480 advice from Elon's revamped plan for blue checkmarks. It doesn't make a lot of sense. 40 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,680 Once again, I would like to clarify that the following five shorter stories are what we 41 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:40,280 call the quick bits. Some leaks about NVIDIA's upcoming RTX 4070 have come up, including images of the card's 42 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:46,880 dual slot design, its reported release date of April 13th, and its reported MSRP of 599 43 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:52,360 USD. As some fans are pointing out, though, the expected performance gains over previous generations 44 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,560 are not that impressive for the price, unless you saw Digital Foundry's recent demo of 45 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:04,080 the new ray tracing overdrive mode in Cyberpunk 2077 and thought, I would pay any price to 46 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,880 see the makeshift boroughs constructed by the disadvantaged street people of a future 47 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,000 dystopia illuminated with greater fidelity. 48 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,600 Tesla is facing a class action complaint triggered by the news last week that the company's 49 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:21,040 employees shared customers' private sensitive videos using an internal messaging system 50 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:28,480 and even made memes out of the footage. The lawsuit is being filed in California by the law firms Fitzgerald, Joseph, and Bloodhurst 51 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,880 and O'Rearden. Is Bloodhurst with Fitzgerald or the other one? 52 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,240 Hopefully this suit goes somewhere, because at this point we've seen enough examples 53 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,520 of companies telling you that they don't look at your private stuff and then it coming 54 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:47,920 out that, oh yes, actually they totally do, should probably lead to something other than 55 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:54,000 us making jokes about it. Nintendo is still pushing hard for that worst gaming company trophy. 56 00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,200 Their latest effort involves subpoenaing Discord for the personal information of the user who 57 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:07,040 leaked images from the art book for the upcoming Legend of Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom. 58 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:12,360 Nintendo has demanded any info that could identify the user name, phone number, email 59 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:18,600 address, regular hair salon, mother's place of work, because they'd like to, you know, 60 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:25,280 give her a gift. The subpoena comes right after the company DMCA videos from YouTuber PointCrow about 61 00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:30,160 cool Nintendo related stuff like the Breath of the Wild multiplayer mod that just released. 62 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,640 Look, Nintendo is just worried about you liking their games too much. 63 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,840 Just play the normal games on the normal Switch, okay? 64 00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:43,800 That way, you can't get hurt like they did. 65 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:49,760 Amazon has banned the Flipper Zero, a gadget used by tinkerers to hack garage doors, computers 66 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:55,320 or basically anything from sale on its marketplace, because according to Amazon, it's a card 67 00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:01,720 skimming device. Which is not true, unless you do use it for that, because you probably could. 68 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,960 To be fair to Amazon, the device's aesthetics are a bit baby's first hacking tool, so they're 69 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,520 probably worried kids might order it with their parents' credit card, and they ain't 70 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:16,340 going anywhere near that. You can still get the Flipper Zero on its website, or enjoy it vicariously through 71 00:06:16,340 --> 00:06:22,460 LTT's recent video. And Discord is in even more trouble, because it turns out government documents that detailed 72 00:06:22,460 --> 00:06:29,380 the US and NATO's plans for a Ukrainian counter-offensive leaked first in an unofficial Minecraft Discord 73 00:06:29,380 --> 00:06:35,500 server. The documents then showed up on 4chan, being posted by users trying to win an argument. 74 00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:39,740 Yeah, it's okay War Thunder forums, this one isn't on you. 75 00:06:39,740 --> 00:06:43,060 It's on other people that apparently don't understand that posting classified documents 76 00:06:43,060 --> 00:06:47,420 to own the other guy is maybe not worth it just for the internet cloud. 77 00:06:47,420 --> 00:06:54,220 I mean you did get them though, definitely won that back and forth, that was nice. 78 00:06:54,220 --> 00:06:58,260 And you could win a whole new set of tech news if you come back on Wednesday. 79 00:06:58,260 --> 00:07:02,140 It takes some time to parse through what the government says we're allowed to tell you 80 00:07:02,140 --> 00:07:04,580 and what we're not, so we just need a few days.
