WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.400 Oh, sup, you here for tech news too? 00:00:03.400 --> 00:00:08.320 You are? Oh, no way, man, that's, oh, that's sick, hey. 00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:12.480 Hey, that's really cool. Hey, hey, that's really cool. 00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:18.120 NVIDIA's ARM-powered laptop CPU has been rumored to exist for over a year, 00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:22.840 or at least it feels that way, I haven't checked. But now a geekbench result has appeared 00:00:22.840 --> 00:00:25.880 listing a 20-core ARM-based CPU 00:00:25.880 --> 00:00:31.560 called the NVIDIA N1X. The strongest evidence yet that it is indeed 00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:34.600 possibly a thing. The geekbench entry was first spotted 00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:38.960 by Twitter user olrack29, but we can't see it because their tweets are protected. 00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:41.960 And at the time of writing, they hadn't accepted my follow request yet, 00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:46.040 let me into your life. The N1X makes a pretty good showing too, 00:00:46.040 --> 00:00:49.440 beating the Ryzen AI Max plus 395 00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:53.080 and the Core Ultra9 285HX in single-core. 00:00:53.080 --> 00:00:58.600 It lost in multicore, and keep in mind that Linux systems do a bit better than Windows 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:03.240 on geekbench, but NVIDIA obviously has a bunch of optimization work to do. 00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:08.040 This is early, I'm sure Team Green's driver team is working on this day and night 00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:11.520 so that by the time it launches, it won't just run faster, 00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:15.200 it actually won't run at all. Burn a hole right through your desk. 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.240 Now that's power. Google is rolling out a stable build 00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:21.240 of Android 16 to Google Pixel devices, 00:01:21.240 --> 00:01:24.720 although support for the coolest features aren't coming until later, 00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:29.360 like the desktop mode and the Material 3 expressive redesign. 00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:33.760 More like Material 3 excessive compared to Apple's new liquid glass look. 00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.840 I mean, with the colors here, can you let my eyes breathe for a second? 00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.960 There are other concerns with Android 16 too. 00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:46.200 The team behind Android fork Graphene OS apparently received information 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.960 that Google would make Android no longer open source. 00:01:49.960 --> 00:01:54.800 And the first step towards this happening would be Google not releasing device repositories 00:01:54.800 --> 00:02:00.760 for Pixel phones alongside new Android releases. And it looks like that has indeed come to pass, 00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.960 which is especially bad news for Graphene OS, 00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:08.920 which only officially supports Pixel devices. Now, some are saying the Graphene team 00:02:08.920 --> 00:02:12.560 is misreading the situation. Google's becoming more private 00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:17.880 with some elements of Android, but the open source project itself isn't going away, 00:02:17.880 --> 00:02:23.800 according to these people. Whatever's really happening, closed sourcing Android would not only be pretty dumb 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:28.360 when Google's engulfed in antitrust trials, it would be bad for consumers. 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.480 Like, look, Chinese manufacturer Vivo claims 00:02:31.480 --> 00:02:36.000 they got their upcoming X Fold 5 to work with the Apple Watch, 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.200 and they even got it to work as an external monitor for a Mac. 00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:42.240 Honestly, I don't know whether Android being open source helped with that, 00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:47.280 but it can't have hurt. OpenAI has made a deal with its biggest rival, Google, 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:52.080 for cloud compute power, according to a Reuters report based on three insider sources. 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.280 That's wild, but hey, AI companies gotta stick together now, 00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:59.840 because Disney and NBC Universal are together suing mid-journey 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:04.760 for producing replicas of copyrighted characters like Aladdin and the Minions. 00:03:04.760 --> 00:03:11.120 Despicable. That was from Glenn, nice one. So add that one to the pile of AI copyright lawsuits. 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.840 Hopefully one of them gets decided soon so we can tell whether it's okay 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:19.000 that Amazon is about to be overrun with AI-generated video ads. 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:23.520 Amazon's new tools let brands access AGI, what? 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.240 Oh, advanced generative intelligence, ah, come on. 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.480 Six photorealistic video ads can be generated in minutes 00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:35.880 and I'm sure AI getting integrated into all of the most used business products 00:03:35.880 --> 00:03:40.600 makes somebody happy, but also provides another vector for malware. 00:03:40.600 --> 00:03:45.640 AIM Security has identified the first known zero-click AI vulnerability 00:03:45.640 --> 00:03:48.720 which could let an attacker secretly ask your AI assistant 00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:52.720 to provide sensitive info just by sending an email to the victim. 00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:58.360 No killer robots needed. Those will come later, thanks to world models like the one Meta just introduced 00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:02.880 called VGEPPA2, sounds Italian, VGEPPA. 00:04:02.880 --> 00:04:06.400 Meta says it helps AI think before it acts, 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:11.180 which also sounds like something Meta themselves could do. And maybe the rest of Silicon Valley too. 00:04:11.180 --> 00:04:14.680 I think we're kinda reaching the limit of move fast 00:04:14.720 --> 00:04:18.680 and break things. So honestly, Apple deserves some kudos 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:23.400 for delaying the launch of the new AI upgraded Siri to 2026. 00:04:23.400 --> 00:04:27.760 In WWDC interviews this week, software chief Craig Federighi said, 00:04:27.760 --> 00:04:31.700 there's no need to rush the wrong product out just to be first. 00:04:31.700 --> 00:04:38.160 Now he just needs to apply that same approach to product demos like the one they did at WWDC 2024 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:42.860 for this 2026 product. You wanna see a 2028 product? 00:04:42.860 --> 00:04:48.220 Then check out our sponsor. So, oh, you're here for the quick bits too? 00:04:49.580 --> 00:04:53.340 Okay, I didn't think I'd see you again. 00:04:53.340 --> 00:04:57.100 This is awkward. The Nintendo Switch 2 appears to be 00:04:57.100 --> 00:05:00.700 the fastest selling video game console of all time 00:05:00.700 --> 00:05:04.860 after selling three and a half million units in its first four days. 00:05:04.860 --> 00:05:09.220 Now I say appears to be because the Switch 2 apparently also has a battery bug 00:05:09.220 --> 00:05:12.300 that makes it lie to you about how much charge you have left. 00:05:12.300 --> 00:05:16.060 And now I don't know who to trust. Thankfully, there's an official support article 00:05:16.060 --> 00:05:19.340 that should help. While unofficial developers are also working 00:05:19.340 --> 00:05:22.860 on a microSD to M.2 adapter for the Switch 2, 00:05:22.860 --> 00:05:27.500 which could massively expand storage. However, there are apparently some power issues 00:05:27.500 --> 00:05:31.420 they need to work out. So be aware of that unless you wanna beat Nintendo 00:05:31.420 --> 00:05:36.100 to bricking your console. US and Chinese representatives have agreed on a proposal 00:05:36.100 --> 00:05:40.100 that could reduce planned tariffs and perhaps even more importantly, 00:05:40.100 --> 00:05:43.820 ease Chinese restrictions on the export of rare earth minerals, 00:05:43.820 --> 00:05:48.340 which are needed to make everything from Jeep Grand Cherokees to grandma's pancakes. 00:05:48.340 --> 00:05:53.620 They always had a little something extra. Unfortunately, despite Trump shouting on truth social 00:05:53.620 --> 00:05:58.340 in all caps about how the deal with China is done, 00:05:58.340 --> 00:06:01.680 the specific details of the proposal haven't been released 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:06.980 as both Trump and Chinese President Xi have yet to sign off on the deal, which is done. 00:06:06.980 --> 00:06:12.400 By the way, you may have missed that. Owners of EVGA motherboards have turned to a farm boy fix 00:06:12.400 --> 00:06:16.420 for the boot up problems they've been experiencing with RTX 50 series GPUs. 00:06:16.420 --> 00:06:21.860 Just put some type on it. That apparently prevents contact with the extra SM bus pins 00:06:21.860 --> 00:06:26.060 on a number of EVGA motherboards, which I'm assuming in the wake of the company 00:06:26.060 --> 00:06:32.500 swearing off ever making NVIDIA GPUs again, EVGA put there to sabotage GPUs out of spite. 00:06:32.500 --> 00:06:36.980 Ooh, Jensen will hate this. The first Google Beam compatible hardware 00:06:36.980 --> 00:06:40.580 has been revealed. The HP dimension has six cameras, 00:06:40.580 --> 00:06:45.700 a spatial audio system and adaptive lighting to make it seem like you're really in the room 00:06:45.700 --> 00:06:49.940 with your company's HR manager. What, what you thought you're gonna call 00:06:49.940 --> 00:06:54.340 your grandma on this thing? It's $25,000, but it is cool. 00:06:54.340 --> 00:06:59.140 And if you don't think so, you can take Google's buyout offer and leave. 00:06:59.140 --> 00:07:02.980 Is that open to everyone or just Google employees? 00:07:02.980 --> 00:07:06.420 Okay, typical corporate. 00:07:06.420 --> 00:07:11.860 And humanoid robots are coming up in a big way, but a company called Ground Control Robotics 00:07:11.860 --> 00:07:15.700 had a different idea. What if we make farming robots 00:07:15.700 --> 00:07:18.860 that look like horrifying giant centipedes? 00:07:18.860 --> 00:07:24.100 They could writhe and crawl around and slap their gross long bodies on stuff 00:07:24.100 --> 00:07:28.300 to make everyone uncomfortable, listen. Okay, yeah, they made an armored version 00:07:28.300 --> 00:07:31.380 with actual antenna. Is that necessary? 00:07:31.380 --> 00:07:34.600 They say it can be used to pull out weeds and stuff, 00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:38.420 but it's having trouble with this one. And that's not even the only horrifying, 00:07:38.420 --> 00:07:41.860 crawly thing these people are making. 00:07:41.860 --> 00:07:45.180 They should be ashamed of themselves. Just like you should be 00:07:45.180 --> 00:07:50.300 if you don't come back on Friday for tech news. I wasn't sure about you being here at first, 00:07:50.300 --> 00:07:55.900 but now I've gotten used to your calming presence. You make me feel better about myself, goddamn it.
