00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,160
Welcome to the jungle. And by the jungle, I mean the tech news.

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,200
And by the tech news, I mean the jungle.

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,880
Intel revealed some exciting new details about its upcoming Lunar Lake laptop chips

4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:18,000
at Computex earlier this week, including redesigned e-cores

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,280
with up to 68% higher instructions per clock.

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,800
Performance cores are up only 14%, but laptops are all about battery life now.

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,840
Ankle socks aren't cool anymore. We're back to tall socks.

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:33,280
Things change, keep up. Lunar Lake will likewise use integrated memory

9
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:38,240
on the package, similar to Apple's M1 and various other mobile SoCs.

10
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:45,040
Lunar Lake will also be the first product from Intel to include their new Z2 battle mage GPU architecture,

11
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,000
which will apparently have up to 50% of performance gains.

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,360
This bodes well for the next generation of discrete Intel graphics cards,

13
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:58,120
as well as the upcoming MSI claw eight AI plus,

14
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,920
because of course it's called that, and Zotac zone Windows gaming handhelds.

15
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:08,400
Altogether, the Lunar Lake platform offers a total of 120 trillions of operations per second,

16
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,800
AKA tops with 48 tops just from the NPU,

17
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,160
easily clearing Microsoft's 40 tops requirement

18
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,880
for next gen AI PCs. There is a slight caveat, however,

19
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,520
in that almost none of the Intel designed chiplets

20
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,200
in Lunar Lake will be manufactured by Intel's Foundry.

21
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,880
They'll be fabricated by TSMC. According to Intel CEO, Pat Gelsinger,

22
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,880
of Pat Gelsinger fame, he needs no introduction.

23
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:41,360
TSMC simply had better process technology at the time that Intel was designing these chiplets.

24
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:47,480
Next year's Panther Lake, however, rar, will be largely fabricated in house.

25
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,560
I told you we were going in the jungle. And it's exactly that kind of grace

26
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,720
and self-assured humility that has made Pat Gelsinger the industry giant

27
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,720
and undeniable sex symbol he is today. Whistling, bat.

28
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:08,360
Google's longstanding chief privacy officer, Keith Enright, and head of competition law, Matthew By,

29
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,840
will be going Matthew By-By and leave in the company later this year.

30
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,440
Further, there doesn't seem to be any plans to replace them.

31
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,240
Google is reportedly restructuring its privacy and legal compliance teams

32
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,920
to spread privacy policy responsibility throughout the company,

33
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:27,320
rather than concentrating it in just one office.

34
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,760
This sounds very familiar, open AI, cough cough.

35
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:36,760
But as the DOJ just finished closing arguments in a major antitrust lawsuit against Google,

36
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,480
it seems like an odd time for it to replace its legal leadership

37
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:46,000
with a Nest Mini taped to a standing fan. But then it's an overall awkward time for Google.

38
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,400
As their recently rolled out AI overviews for search have apparently been significantly rolled back.

39
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,240
At one point, these overviews appeared in around 84% of searches,

40
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,960
but that was reduced to around 15% of queries,

41
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,480
even prior to the glue-based pizza sauce incident.

42
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,520
This lower profile for the feature is probably for the best,

43
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,800
both for regular users and Google's PR team.

44
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,360
But it's a devastating blow to fans of unhinged culinary recommendations

45
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,320
and dangerous medical advice. Where are they gonna get it now?

46
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,000
Everywhere else on the internet? We should take over.

47
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,280
Stick your finger in your eye. Microsoft has announced it will be testing new features

48
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:31,600
for Windows 10, despite the fact that the OS is supposed to be near the end of its life

49
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,600
and unpaid security updates are supposed to end

50
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:40,560
in October of next year. Microsoft has consequently reopened the Windows 10 beta channel

51
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,600
and will be pushing the first beta build since 2021

52
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,280
in the next few weeks. Any new features that pass through that beta

53
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:53,560
will then be added to 22H2, Windows 10's last major update.

54
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:59,960
Windows 10 remains more than twice as popular as Windows 11, despite Microsoft's stalwart determination

55
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:02,960
to make fetch happen in no small part

56
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,240
due to the company's insistence on pushing features that most users don't care about

57
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:13,480
and a large subset of users actively despise. For instance, Microsoft recently closed a Windows 11 loophole

58
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,000
that allowed users to use a local account and avoid signing into a Microsoft account

59
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:23,200
if they set up their PC using a blocked email. Even if you don't use Windows though,

60
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,640
there will be no escaping Microsoft's AI co-pilot,

61
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,720
which they plan to launch for customer service call centers,

62
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,440
which basically means you'll still be stuck talking to an unhelpful robot,

63
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,960
but it will now be a Microsoft branded unhelpful robot.

64
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,080
Quick bits are like a box of chocolates. They're quick, snacky, and loaded with calories.

65
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,880
NVIDIA has introduced a sizing guideline to allow consumers to more easily tell

66
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,080
if their graphics cards will fit into smaller form factor PC cases.

67
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,800
Though it doesn't bode well that the guidelines real full name is

68
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,080
SFF Ready Enthusiast GeForce Cards and Compatible Cases.

69
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:04,440
Yet the guidelines specs allow for cards to take up two and a half PCIe slots, which is surprising.

70
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:10,520
Though not as surprising as a woman asking NVIDIA's CEO, Jensen Huang, to sign her chest.

71
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:15,480
That's not a joke. I just needed you to know that happened. That's part of my trip to Taiwan.

72
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:20,080
Google has rushed to reassure pixel owners that it won't confiscate their phones

73
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,520
if third party components are found inside while repairing them, which is great

74
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:29,640
because that wouldn't make any sense. Yet that very scenario was described

75
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,440
in Google's repair terms and conditions, as discovered by Lewis Rossman echoing

76
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,680
Samsung's similar policy, which was discovered a couple weeks ago.

77
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,960
Google says they're updating their terms to clarify this,

78
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:46,480
but it's been over 24 hours and the language is still there, which means untold numbers of pixel phones

79
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,880
are still being sucked up by the giant pixel vacuum

80
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,280
at these repair shops. Only you can save them, Google.

81
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:58,800
Multiple major hospitals in London wound up cancelling non-essential operations

82
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,920
and diverting emergency patients following a major cyber attack

83
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:08,400
against pathology service provider, Sinovus, that left them unable to access their mainframe.

84
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,800
The incident seriously disrupted delivery of medical services, in particular test results

85
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:17,240
and blood transfusions. Several patients scheduled for surgery that day

86
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,600
were sent home with no hint as to when their potentially urgent medical procedure

87
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,320
might be rescheduled. Imagine getting injected with the wrong type of blood

88
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,320
thanks to the work of your Xbox Live nemesis,

89
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:33,160
XXX BonkSnipe69. I'm sorry for what I said about your model, babe.

90
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,320
Meta is apparently both testing unskippable ads

91
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:42,480
on Instagram and collecting user data on both Facebook and Instagram for use in AI training.

92
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,880
If you'd like to opt out of your life being fed to Zuckerberg's pet AI,

93
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,120
there's a simple process that starts with immigrating to Europe.

94
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:55,440
In fact, we might not even know about this new policy if it weren't for the fact that UK and EU legislation

95
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,600
forces Meta to inform users over there.

96
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,520
America might be the land of the free, but if that's apparently in the sense of,

97
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:07,920
ooh, free data, yum, yum, yum. And the key to creating a four-day work week

98
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,280
is creating an AI clone that can attend meetings for you.

99
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,960
That's according to Eric Yuan, CEO of Zoom,

100
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,920
the meeting company. He believes that his company will eventually allow

101
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,600
a digital twin of yourself to attend all of your Zoom calls

102
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,000
and then give you the summary of those meetings. Have your deep pick, call my deep pick.

103
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,400
Hey, here's a thought. If your meetings are so pointless

104
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,560
that you can send a soulless golem that essentially rolls dice to decide what words to say,

105
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:42,840
maybe just send a fucking email instead. But no email could replace Friday's episode of TechLinked,

106
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,680
so be there. Your AI twin just doesn't really get it like you do.

107
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,280
We have something special. Also, they freak me out.
