00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.600
Sometimes it's hard to tell what's tech news and what's not like if I put robot arms and legs on a banana. Is that tech news?

00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:17.080
What about a mango? Microsoft says it wants everyone to upgrade to Windows 11 this year before Windows 10 loses official support in October

00:00:17.080 --> 00:00:21.680
But at the same time they're making it more difficult to do so on unsupported hardware

00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:28.880
The tech giant quietly deleted guidance about how to bypass Windows 11's TPM requirement from its own support page

00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:35.440
Although you can still see the registry tweak instructions on the internet archive, which is as always

00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:40.760
based but Microsoft has also blocked and labeled fly by 11 a

00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:46.000
popular third-party utility that lets users skip the hardware requirements check in Windows 11 as

00:00:46.720 --> 00:00:51.760
Malware according to the tools developer similar tools like Rufus still exist

00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:57.680
But I'm guessing Microsoft isn't jazzed about those either. What do you want Microsoft?

00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:04.360
It's like you invited everyone at school to your party and then only let in the ones who brought the invite with them like, okay

00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:09.600
You have fun in there. We're gonna be playing twister on the lawn. It's the hot spot

00:01:10.600 --> 00:01:14.480
Chinese AI company Deepsea got really popular recently

00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:19.520
So of course a US senator has proposed a potential law that would criminalize

00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:27.400
Importing it along with any tech developed in China on the threat of million-dollar fines and prison time

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.080
The bill is kind of like your mom saying we have AI at home

00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:38.040
Including Google's new Gemini 2.0 models being rolled out for consumers and developers Google says they're pretty good

00:01:38.160 --> 00:01:44.920
Maybe they'll be good enough to power weapon systems since Google just erased the section of their AI principles web page

00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:49.040
That said the tech giant wouldn't let their AI be deployed for weapon systems

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:55.840
But it's preserved once more by the internet archive. You do you the best. I don't why I don't know why

00:01:55.880 --> 00:01:59.560
But despite AI being added to guns and literally everything else

00:02:00.080 --> 00:02:07.200
Anthropic is telling job applicants not to use it to help write their applications because they want to evaluate your non

00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:12.080
AI-assisted communication skills. It's almost like there's some kind of

00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:16.960
Value to forming thoughts using your own words

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:25.520
I'll have to ask chat GPT about that later Richest man in the world Elon Musk appears to be on a mission to access as much

00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:33.000
Previously protected US government data as he can leading squads of his fellow special government employees

00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:40.040
Which are also employees of private companies and even executives like new treasury staff member Tom Krause

00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:45.840
Who is also currently the CEO of Citrix parent company cloud software group

00:02:46.320 --> 00:02:52.200
Thomas Shed a Tesla engineer who is now the head of an IT group in the general services administration

00:02:52.200 --> 00:02:59.200
And who suggested they make illegal changes to a government login system is yet another example of Elon's pension for

00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:06.720
Funneling Tesla resources to his other private companies for which he's currently already being sued. What's another one big whoop

00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:13.920
Musk having access to these kind of government resources that could be used to benefit the multiple federal contracts

00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:18.160
He holds through SpaceX is a bit of a conflict of interest

00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:24.240
So congressman mark pocan is working on a bill that would ban this practice called the

00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:28.980
Eliminate looting of our nation by mitigating unethical state

00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:36.560
Cleptocracy or the Elon musk act what no don't name it after him. He'll like that

00:03:37.440 --> 00:03:43.280
Although he'd probably prefer you put an x in there somewhere to cherry on top you put robot limbs on a raspberry

00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:47.520
That's not full tech news But it could be a quick bit

00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:52.320
Trump's new tariffs on Chinese goods are coming into effect and caused the u.s.

00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:57.120
Postal service to briefly suspend all inbound parcels from china this morning

00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:03.120
While they figured out what extra fees need to be tacked on the eu is also looking to tax

00:04:03.200 --> 00:04:06.880
Chinese goods that were previously cheap enough to skirt customs duties

00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:13.280
So prepare for your timu shine and gaming handhelds even to be less wallet friendly

00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:19.520
China is apparently responding by opening antitrust investigations into google and apple

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:29.360
Which may end up hurting those companies But it's also something that america's own fdc was trying to do under previous chair lina kahn

00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:35.600
But the government likes big tech now, so i'm sure the president is real torn up over what's happening to his friends

00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:41.680
Open ai has dropped the sign-in requirement to use chat gpt search on the web

00:04:41.840 --> 00:04:53.280
You can access it through chat gpt.com But open ai.com has also gotten a facelift along with a new logo the homepage features a big old prompt slash search bar

00:04:53.520 --> 00:05:00.000
Just like google I'm probably going to keep using google just because asking an ai to search for me

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:04.080
Is only a little better than asking a fellow human what they know about a topic

00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:10.480
And half the time these days they just pull out their phone and ask chat gpt We could just skip the middleman sonos has had a rough year

00:05:10.640 --> 00:05:19.680
But now it thinks it has just a ticket The verge is reporting that part of the company's comeback plan is the launch of an Android-based streaming box

00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.280
To help consumers forget about how the company's redesigned app

00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:30.960
Borked people's expensive speaker setups last year the box could launch in april for 200 to 400 dollars

00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:36.640
Signaling that sonos has totally fixed all of their glitches. Otherwise, why would they price it that high?

00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:42.480
Think about it and researchers from invidia and carnagy melin university have published a framework

00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:49.440
Allowing robots to copy the complex movements of top athletes like christiano rinaldo and

00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:57.200
LeBron James Why say it like that? That's how you say it or at least try to copy their movements. They're doing their best

00:05:57.440 --> 00:06:03.600
But sadly, they're still not quite stable enough to use as a platform for this actual working plasma cannon

00:06:03.840 --> 00:06:08.720
With a 35 foot range developed by slightly insane engineer greg lee

00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:13.680
Maybe next time though, and maybe this friday. You'll come back for more tech news

00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:20.080
I should have a better grasp of what fruits and vegetables do and don't qualify for tech news by then

00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:25.680
I figured out what are you talking about? You just I came in late. You're missing the context
