WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.760 We post Fridays TechLinked after the WAN Show ends, so to basically everyone not on 00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:07.760 Pacific Time, I just want to say, happy early Saturday morning. Get some sleep after this, 00:00:07.760 --> 00:00:12.960 k? The controversial Bill C-11, or the Online Streaming Act, was passed into Canadian law 00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:19.280 on Wednesday, leading many Americans to ask, what is that? In brief, C-11 will allow the 00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:24.720 Canadian Radio, Television, Telecommunications Commission, or CRTC, to regulate how much 00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:29.680 Canadian content is shown to Canadian viewers by streaming services like Netflix and Spotify. 00:00:29.680 --> 00:00:32.720 But also social platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok. 00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:38.480 The tech giants will also be required to financially contribute to the production 00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:43.680 of Canadian content. So, get ready for Netflix's gritty new crime series, Guns and Hosers. 00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:49.200 Proponents of the law say it simply brings online platforms under the same rules that 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:53.840 have applied to traditional broadcasters for decades. But critics, including many Canadian 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:58.880 content creators, are worried the law may regulate user-generated content thanks to the 00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:03.360 government repeatedly rejecting amendments that would specifically protect content creators. 00:01:03.360 --> 00:01:07.680 Don't worry, the chair of the CRTC says they have no intention to regulate users. 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.440 So, it'll probably be fine, eh? Hey, did you know Wolverine's Canadian? 00:01:12.160 --> 00:01:17.600 And Deadpool? Scott Pilgrim? We exist. AMD claims they have resolved the issue, 00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:23.280 causing Ryzen 7000 X3D CPUs to fry, and PCs don't need that much cholesterol in their diet. 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:27.920 Board partners ASUS and MSI have already released statements suggesting expo memory profiles may 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:33.840 be causing unsafe SoC voltages. And it turns out that was, in fact, the issue, or one of them, 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:40.000 at least. AMD's released new firmware modifying certain power rails, including the SoC power rail, 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.800 without stating what other rails are affected and why, which is really frustrating to me, 00:01:44.800 --> 00:01:50.640 a gnarly dude who loves grinded rails, if they are safe. Okay? Safety is cool. You know what's cooler? 00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:55.200 You know what's cooler than ripping those Narnars? Safety. Calling your mom at the end of the day. 00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:00.640 The company also didn't clarify if 7000 X3D CPUs were the only processors affected with a 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:06.000 severe electric shock kink. We recommend anyone with an M5 system update their BIOS as soon as 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:11.440 board manufacturers release them, since it's possible that non-X3D Ryzen 7000 chips also need 00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:15.600 to establish a safe word with their mommyboards. Mommyboards are the best for grinding. You've 00:02:15.600 --> 00:02:20.160 been a bad boy. This mommy's gonna take care of you. And Japanese company iSpace seems to have lost 00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:23.760 their lunar lander, but they're pretty sure it's on the moon, right? 00:02:26.320 --> 00:02:31.760 We don't know. iSpace launched Hakuto, Japanese for white rabbit, in December of last year, 00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:36.560 carrying a rover from the United Arab Emirates, hoping to be the first private company to 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:41.280 accomplish a moon landing. Instead, according to their official statement, shortly after the 00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:45.840 scheduled landing time, no data was received indicating a touchdown, because it's not football, 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:50.560 that's why. Apparently, the descent speed rapidly increased before communication loss, 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:56.080 so they believe there is a high probability of crash. We're not sure, but we got our top people 00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:01.280 on it. So we've got a missing commercial flight craft with a matrix reference as a name, and the 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:06.800 moon is involved. Is this a real story, or did someone ask chat GPT to write a conspiracy theory? 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:11.520 While iSpace probably isn't the first private company to land on the moon, their CEO says 00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:17.200 they are the first private company to collect data from an attempted lunar landing. And that's 00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:31.840 groundbreaking. The price for the ROG Ally handheld PC may be only $700 for its high-aspect version, 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:37.040 according to leaks, putting it only $50 above the most expensive Steam Deck variant. The alleged 00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:41.840 sources for this leak include a Best Buy product page screenshot, an earlier leak from Snoopy Tech 00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:47.920 on Twitter, and Roland Quant, a gadget leaker who shared data with The Verge. There is an 00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:52.720 alternate universe version of me that is ecstatic because he doesn't have student loans to pay off. 00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:57.520 In the CMA's final report on why they blocked the Microsoft Activision merger, the regulator cast 00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:01.920 doubts on Microsoft's 10-year Call of Duty deal with Nintendo, saying the switch isn't 00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:06.480 technically capable of running a version of the game, criticizing its impact on competition. 00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:11.440 They also cited internal documents from Microsoft while mentioning the difference in technical 00:04:11.440 --> 00:04:17.920 performance and audience between the Xbox and Switch consoles. Guess, maybe, maybe Microsoft 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:22.000 should have made a sizable effort to convince people the Xbox doesn't compete with the Nintendo 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:28.720 Switch in a lawsuit about the lack of competition in gaming. Tesla lawyers are arguing that Elon 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:33.280 Musk cannot be deposed in a wrongful death suit to answer questions about his exaggerated claims 00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:38.480 about the safety of Tesla's autopilot software because he is very famous and a target of deep 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:43.360 fakes. Thus, nothing he has said publicly on a stage in front of a camera in a room full of 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:48.160 hundreds of people should be held against him in the court of law. I mean, who can argue with that? 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:53.440 It's called deep fakes, not deep truths. A Model S and Model X at this point can drive autonomously 00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:58.480 with greater safety than a person right now, said Musk allegedly in this video, right here, 00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:03.120 posted in 2016 by a prominent news outlet that Musk has never before claimed was faked or asked to 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:08.560 be taken down. But we just can't know. There was a Balenciaga reference. There was a Balenciaga. 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:12.880 We have our top people on it. The first babies born from eggs fertilized by a robot have been 00:05:12.880 --> 00:05:18.320 born, and that robot was only kind of sexy. It was a five at best. Sadly for sci-fi fans, 00:05:18.320 --> 00:05:23.120 this does not mean that the world has seen its first robot baby daddy. Rather, the robot injected 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:29.200 a normal human egg with boring, normal human sperm. Yeah, no miracle whatsoever. Howl 9000, 00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:33.920 you are not the father. Typically, a trained embryologist has to perform the procedure, 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:38.560 making it extremely expensive. But this time, an engineer with no fertility training was able to 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:44.080 control a specialized robot with a PS5 controller and fertilize the delicate eggs, like a high-stakes 00:05:44.080 --> 00:05:50.800 game of asteroids. That's right, gamers can fertilize eggs. Later versions. And the next 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.960 version of Smash is coming out on the NES, which sounds like a warning of an impending collapse 00:05:54.960 --> 00:06:00.000 in the timeline. Fortunately, however, it's just super tilt, bro. The brainchild of a French 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:05.120 indie developer that reached its fundraising goal in just two days. The game will, amazingly, 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:10.560 feature online multiplayer thanks to dark magic. And maybe the cartridges on board Wi-Fi helps with 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:15.040 that too. I don't know, I'm not a wizard. I just look like one. Nintendo can barely make online 00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:19.360 work on the Switch, yet one French dude with a dream adds online gaming to their first console. 00:06:20.080 --> 00:06:24.720 Be better. And I dream of you watching more tech news this Monday. 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:30.400 Speaking of dreams, Mitch, you need to wake up. Please open your eyes. It's been seven years. 00:06:30.400 --> 00:06:35.040 Please, for the love of God, Mitch. See you Monday!
