WEBVTT 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 00:00:05.740 --> 00:00:11.040 here to get caught up with the tech news, that's um...that's adorable. 00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:15.000 Apple's recent troubles with selling Macs are even worse than everyone thought. 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 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 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 00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:36.160 a time when breakfast cereal costs more than your hourly wage, but so far, nothing checks 00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:41.520 out. Apple admitted to investors last week that its overall revenue had dropped 5% compared 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 00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:52.320 to strike, because according to people on Reddit, Windows on ARM runs kind of well now. 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 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:04.280 machine better than the flagship ARM-powered Surface, but now Windows 11 apparently has 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 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 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:23.520 the $2,000 Dev Kit, or wait until MacBook Airs are more expensive than that? 00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:27.000 We want to wait? Yeah, okay, I'll drop it. 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:31.760 One of YouTube's wacky experiments from last year has actually come to fruition with enhanced 00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:37.280 bitrate 1080p for YouTube Premium members rolling out first on iOS. 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 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:48.120 of a video? We should be thanking YouTube for enacting one of the less garbage ones. 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:54.280 Furthermore, the premium 1080p experience apparently is in fact being enhanced over and above 00:01:54.280 --> 00:02:01.440 the non-Premium peasant, stinky, normal 1080p quality, which is not being degraded. 00:02:01.440 --> 00:02:04.640 YouTube found a way to make their platform better, but only for those willing to pay 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:08.160 a monthly subscription. Hm? What? 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 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. 00:02:21.160 --> 00:02:24.840 And MSI has confirmed it was the victim of a cyberattack last week. 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:30.320 Ransomware Group Money Message claimed responsibility and said it was able to steal source code 00:02:30.320 --> 00:02:35.760 and BIOS firmware for which it wants MSI to pay $4 million to recover. 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, 00:02:40.760 --> 00:02:43.880 hey, the money message made sense. 00:02:43.880 --> 00:02:47.560 It's unclear whether the hackers thought about their plan as much as their name, though, 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 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 00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:02.040 stuff anyway. It should have gone with inconvenience message. 00:03:03.040 --> 00:03:08.560 MSI is urging users to only download firmware slash BIOS updates from its official website, 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 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 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. 00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:26.680 Once again, I would like to clarify that the following five shorter stories are what we 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 00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:46.880 dual slot design, its reported release date of April 13th, and its reported MSRP of 599 00:03:46.880 --> 00:03:52.360 USD. As some fans are pointing out, though, the expected performance gains over previous generations 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:57.560 are not that impressive for the price, unless you saw Digital Foundry's recent demo of 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 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.880 see the makeshift boroughs constructed by the disadvantaged street people of a future 00:04:07.880 --> 00:04:11.000 dystopia illuminated with greater fidelity. 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 00:04:15.600 --> 00:04:21.040 employees shared customers' private sensitive videos using an internal messaging system 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 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:33.880 and O'Rearden. Is Bloodhurst with Fitzgerald or the other one? 00:04:33.880 --> 00:04:38.240 Hopefully this suit goes somewhere, because at this point we've seen enough examples 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 00:04:42.520 --> 00:04:47.920 out that, oh yes, actually they totally do, should probably lead to something other than 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:54.000 us making jokes about it. Nintendo is still pushing hard for that worst gaming company trophy. 00:04:54.000 --> 00:05:00.200 Their latest effort involves subpoenaing Discord for the personal information of the user who 00:05:00.200 --> 00:05:07.040 leaked images from the art book for the upcoming Legend of Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom. 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:12.360 Nintendo has demanded any info that could identify the user name, phone number, email 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:18.600 address, regular hair salon, mother's place of work, because they'd like to, you know, 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 00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:30.160 cool Nintendo related stuff like the Breath of the Wild multiplayer mod that just released. 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:34.640 Look, Nintendo is just worried about you liking their games too much. 00:05:34.640 --> 00:05:37.840 Just play the normal games on the normal Switch, okay? 00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:43.800 That way, you can't get hurt like they did. 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:49.760 Amazon has banned the Flipper Zero, a gadget used by tinkerers to hack garage doors, computers 00:05:49.760 --> 00:05:55.320 or basically anything from sale on its marketplace, because according to Amazon, it's a card 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. 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 00:06:06.960 --> 00:06:10.520 probably worried kids might order it with their parents' credit card, and they ain't 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 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 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 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. 00:06:35.500 --> 00:06:39.740 Yeah, it's okay War Thunder forums, this one isn't on you. 00:06:39.740 --> 00:06:43.060 It's on other people that apparently don't understand that posting classified documents 00:06:43.060 --> 00:06:47.420 to own the other guy is maybe not worth it just for the internet cloud. 00:06:47.420 --> 00:06:54.220 I mean you did get them though, definitely won that back and forth, that was nice. 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. 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 00:07:02.140 --> 00:07:04.580 and what we're not, so we just need a few days.
