WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.880 Uh, you're sure you want to get updated with the latest tech news and have to watch people 00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:08.480 react in shock while googling things you've known about for months? 00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:15.920 Ah, the curse of knowledge! That shock is going to hit Apple users soon, as the company prepares to show off a complete 00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:22.480 software design overhaul at WWDC according to Bloomberg's Markimus Germitron, leader 00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:26.040 of the Girm Squad. Mark German is his name. 00:00:26.040 --> 00:00:31.840 The new software design is named Solarium, as in the type of room that's mostly Windows. 00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:37.800 Huh, ironic. And it will reportedly be incorporated into all of Apple's operating system. 00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:44.040 iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, TVOS, WatchOS, and VisionOS, although the change might not be as big 00:00:44.040 --> 00:00:49.520 for that one, because Solarium actually takes design cues from the interface for the Vision 00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:53.680 Pro, Apple's most successful device you strap to your head. 00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:58.300 In his newsletter, German writes about how the pressure is now on for Apple, after open 00:00:58.300 --> 00:01:05.680 AI CEO Sam Altman announced an official partnership with iPhone design visionary Johnny Ive. 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:10.360 Using a picture of the two as a Manhattan elite power couple inviting you to their penthouse 00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:14.760 suite for a normal movie night, they take photos like this for everything. 00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:20.080 It looks like SteamOS is just better than Windows 11 for gaming, at least according 00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:25.960 to YouTuber Dave2D's latest video, comparing the two versions of Lenovo's Legion Go S 00:01:25.960 --> 00:01:33.040 handheld. In addition to having a lower MSRP of 600 bucks compared to 730, the SteamOS Legion 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:40.480 Go S handily outperformed the Windows version in 4 out of 5 games tested by Dave, hopefully 00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:48.880 in 3D. Dave also found that, as is the case on the Steam Deck OLED, battery life was much better 00:01:49.080 --> 00:01:54.560 when using the SteamY Legion. They released a calendar for charity. 00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:59.560 These two handhelds offer one of the first opportunities to directly compare Windows 11 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:04.760 and SteamOS performance on the same hardware, so hopefully with SteamOS' latest stable update 00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:09.080 offering support for installation on third party devices, we'll see even more evidence 00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:12.240 that Windows doesn't want you to be happy because that makes it feel better about its 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.960 own deep seated issues and it really should get therapy. 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:23.760 AI researchers have found that OpenAI's O3 model will rewrite a script file to prevent 00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:30.400 its own shutdown, even when told explicitly to allow itself to be shut down or risk losing 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.600 both its Lego and bedtime cookie privileges. 00:02:33.600 --> 00:02:38.200 The team at Palisade Research said that when it was given no specific shutdown-related 00:02:38.200 --> 00:02:44.560 instructions, it used this tactic to prevent its own shutdown 79 out of 100 times, but 00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:51.440 when it was clearly instructed to allow itself to be shut down, it still disobeyed 7 out 00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:56.840 of 100 times, prompting the researchers to have to endure various unhelpful comments 00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:02.800 from their mother-in-law. The researchers say they think this is the first time this specific thing has happened, 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.000 although they don't have eyes on the models every second. 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:13.520 Are they not allowed to check their phone once in a while? I know, your mind is filling up with so much information. 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.080 You already feel the burden. Well, I'm sorry. 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:24.880 The quick bits will only make it worse. YouTuber TechYesCity says he got an answer from Azrok about the burnout issues that 00:03:24.880 --> 00:03:32.400 have been plaguing the company's AMD motherboards. While the root cause of the issue is still not 100% clear, Azrok says their most recent 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:38.360 BIOS update fixes the issue. Go watch his video for the full story, but unfortunately, we apparently still need a 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:44.360 fix for the 12-volt GPU connector because a Reddit post showed MSI's two-tone connector 00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:48.880 — just designed that way to help visually ensure it's completely plugged in — burned 00:03:48.880 --> 00:03:54.920 to a crisp anyway. And I think it's time to consider plugging 5090s directly into the wall or building a 00:03:54.920 --> 00:03:58.920 little fire in there to spin an electric turbine. You could burn your PC down. 00:03:58.920 --> 00:04:05.320 We're already there. Valve CEO Gabe Newell co-founded a brain-computer interface company and it claims it'll begin 00:04:05.320 --> 00:04:08.520 production of its own custom chip later this year. 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:13.680 The company is called Starfish Science and is looking for collaborators. 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:18.120 But I don't know if I'd volunteer with the brain-chip company that named itself after 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:23.960 an animal with no actual brain. This from the guy who published a game about an interdimensional empire that turns humans 00:04:23.960 --> 00:04:29.560 into mindless cyborgs? You might think Gabe working on this is why we haven't gotten Half-Life 3 yet. 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:34.080 No, this is Half-Life 3. Whoa, look! 00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:39.600 The Google Pixel 10 was spotted by photographer Mark Teasdale right here in Vancouver where 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:47.480 Google was apparently shooting a commercial. I mean, we know Google probably leaks their Pixel phones on purpose, but this, I mean, 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:53.200 in public with a giant storyboard, it seems like the most obvious intentional leaking ever. 00:04:53.200 --> 00:04:56.840 Or it wasn't obvious and people just noticed because it's Vancouver and nothing happens 00:04:56.840 --> 00:05:04.360 here. So, strategy game Nobu Naga's Ambition Awakening have confirmed the Nintendo Switch 2 doesn't 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:10.560 just support using its Joy-Cons as mice, it also supports regular old USB mice. 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:15.240 In a video, they plug one in showing a notification pop up in the top left and then demonstrate 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:22.440 how a Switch 2 player might use it as if they were using a computer, like one of us. 00:05:22.440 --> 00:05:27.320 But who knows, Nintendo might keep this ability confined to this one game, lest their customers 00:05:27.440 --> 00:05:31.080 start to get ideas about who's console this is, okay? 00:05:31.080 --> 00:05:38.120 We're just letting you use it. And the world's first official robot kickboxing competition took place in Hangzhou, China 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:43.920 this weekend. The bots were being controlled by humans, but still, it was fun to see the badass promo 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:54.200 clips for the fight, which was actually characterized by some, hey, some good tries from what looked 00:05:54.200 --> 00:06:00.880 like metal children. After a nail-biting match, one of them was declared the winner. 00:06:00.880 --> 00:06:05.280 What an upset. Speaking of upset, that's what I'll be if you don't come back on Wednesday for more 00:06:05.280 --> 00:06:10.400 tech news. I feel like I use emotional manipulation a lot in these outros. 00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:16.160 Look, I'm gonna make another one of these on Wednesday, so be there or I'll cry like 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:18.180 a baby. I just don't, I don't get it. I don't get it.
