1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,400 Hell yeah, you know what time it is. All right, baby, keep on rolling. 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:10,080 Unless you're somehow watching this on a computer with no clock, in which case, you don't. 3 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,920 Apple has once again edged out Microsoft for the top spot of the world's most valuable company 4 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,280 in terms of total market capitalization, which is share price times shares outstanding. 5 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,680 Only one short week after they themselves were briefly bumped into third by NVIDIA. 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:28,360 Apple's stock price shot up following what some are calling the best WWC ever. 7 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:34,320 In no small part, due to Apple finally unveiling its plans to integrate AI into iOS and macOS. 8 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:39,680 That's so many letters. Despite the Wall Street Ballyhoo, Apple's approach to AI remains cautious. 9 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,360 In a recent interview with the Washington Post, Tim Cook said that they've done everything 10 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:50,160 they currently can to address AI hallucinations. But in all honesty, that's short of 100%. 11 00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:53,640 I would never say it's 100%. That wasn't Tim Cook's voice. 12 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,640 Wise, considering that Google's AI overviews 13 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,760 are still recommending that people eat glue, citing the news reports of its own 14 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,760 earlier culinary recommendations, without clarifying that it was wrong. 15 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:10,440 In response to Apple's relatively limited chat GPT integration, Elon Musk took to Twitter, 16 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,760 I'm still calling it that, claiming he would ban his employees from using Apple devices at work, 17 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,360 and claiming incorrectly that Apple isn't smart enough 18 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:23,160 to make their own in-house LLM. This tweet had a community note, 19 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:28,820 but sadly it has since been voted down by Musk's ever-loyal parasocial brain rot brigade. 20 00:01:28,820 --> 00:01:33,260 The day following the outburst, Musk quietly dropped his ongoing legal case 21 00:01:33,260 --> 00:01:36,760 against OpenAI for breach of contract. Apparently in response to OpenAI, 22 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,420 publishing several emails from Musk that directly contradict the claims made in his complaint. 23 00:01:41,420 --> 00:01:45,740 A guy like him hates facts. Google did try to slow down the Apple Intelligence 24 00:01:45,740 --> 00:01:50,180 hype train, however, dropping a major update for Pixel phones compatible with Android 14. 25 00:01:50,180 --> 00:01:54,640 This included the usual fixes, stability improvements, and critical security updates. 26 00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:00,160 However, Google is also extending the AI features previously available only to the Pixel 8 Pro 27 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,120 to the 8 and 8a. They'll also be expanding their repertoire 28 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,520 of on-device AI features, including AI-powered live threat detection. 29 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:14,880 This may indicate that with the new lightweight Gemini Nano, Google has overcome at least some hardware 30 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,960 limitations to its AI integration ambitions. 31 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,000 Other security features include a cellular interception 32 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,720 warning and a lockdown mode that prevents juice jacking, 33 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,880 which is either a largely hypothetical cyber attack using publicly available charging outlets 34 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,760 to spread malware, or the crime of stealing a small child's juice box, 35 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,440 or a steroid powered, 36 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,320 editor just cut me off. Sadly, in order to bring these new features to life, 37 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,880 Google had to sacrifice another service to power their foul necromancy. 38 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:51,760 And thus the Google Pay app has died, so the anti-juice jacking lockdown might live. 39 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,480 Google Pay app is dead, long live Google Wallet. 40 00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:00,080 The European Union has imposed an additional 38% tariff 41 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,920 on electric vehicles imported from China, bringing the added tax on Chinese EVs to 48%. 42 00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:11,120 That might sound crazy high, but this actually follows a White House decision last month 43 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,840 to quadruple tariffs against Chinese EVs to 100%. 44 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,200 Both the EU and the US have obvious protectionist reasons 45 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,200 to want to exclude cheap Chinese goods from competing with homegrown industry. 46 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:27,360 But both governments also say that a big part of why these EVs are so much cheaper 47 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:32,760 is a combination of anti-competitive subsidies by Beijing and coerced labor, 48 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:38,160 aka slavery within these companies' supply chains. Currently, around half of global EV sales 49 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,440 are from Chinese manufacturers, because in addition to being cheap, 50 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,680 they've actually reached the point technologically where they mostly don't suck. 51 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,840 One of the world's most popular EVs, the BYD Siegel, could easily double in price 52 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,040 and still be the cheapest electric car on the American market. 53 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:59,680 At $10,000, it's actually cheaper than the number of live Siegels it takes to fill it. 54 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:05,480 I checked. Ooh. We're proud to announce the new Teckling's Cocktail. 55 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,880 It's just two ounces of whiskey and five dashes of quick bidders. 56 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,480 Yeah. NVIDIA hasn't released or even announced 57 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,720 their upcoming 50-series GPUs, but that won't stop them from already disappointing gamers. 58 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,720 Reliable leaker, Copight 7keme, 59 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,600 who definitely didn't realize how many people have to say that crap out loud for years to come before he made that handle, 60 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:32,360 tweeted out purported memory configurations for the five chips that will power the rumored GPU line. 61 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:37,640 According to this information, only the RTX 5090 will have more VRAM than its predecessor, 62 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:45,360 and the lowest end card might end up using older GDDR6 VRAM instead of upgrading to GDDR7. 63 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,840 These are just rumors, though. We should wait until NVIDIA's official announcement. 64 00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:52,200 What's the point of being disappointed when we yet don't know how much 65 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,760 Team Green will overcharge for them? They're disappointment yet to find. 66 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,800 Microsoft is dropping official support for Windows 10 in October next year, 67 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,560 but AMD doesn't want to wait. For our lives to be over. 68 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:10,440 I heard that at Home Depot the other day. Team Red's upcoming Ryzen AI 300 series processors 69 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,200 only support Windows 11, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Ubuntu. 70 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,200 So basically Windows 11 as listed on their specs page, 71 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,240 which will probably anger the small subset of enthusiasts planning to buy a new laptop 72 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,800 and replace Windows 11 with 10, and no one else. 73 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,160 But many more potential buyers of the upcoming Snapdragon X-powered co-pilot plus PCs 74 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:36,680 will be distraught if ARM wins its ongoing lawsuit against Qualcomm and blocks those laptops from being sold. 75 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,280 It's a perilous time to be a Windows laptop enjoyer. 76 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,120 See? Another AI video generator, 77 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:50,960 similar to OpenAI's horrifically impressive Sora, has broken cover joining Kling, 78 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:56,240 the tool unveiled last week by Chinese company, Qashu, not pronouncing that another time. 79 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:01,320 While Kling almost looks more capable than Sora, it's only accessible to certain partners. 80 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,720 Dream Machine, which was announced today by San Francisco based Luma Labs, is open to the public. 81 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,720 You're limited to 30 free five second generations 82 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,360 that seem to be in Sora's ballpark quality-wise, but good luck trying it out. 83 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,680 As soon as it was announced, the site was hammered with traffic, no doubt, 84 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:24,320 from an army of petite Denis Villeneux who will create the next generation of amazing cinema. 85 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:29,360 Raspberry Pi Limited has decided to go public. The company, known for its small programmable computers, 86 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,920 is the for-profit subsidiary of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, 87 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,640 or at least it was a subsidiary, subsidiary, subsidiary. 88 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,040 I don't know. It is set to change during Friday's IPO. 89 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,240 The foundation will sell 10% of its shares and will no longer be the majority owner. 90 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,000 The company says they won't change much, and I believe them. 91 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,400 That's because as we speak, institutional investors are trading shares 92 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,480 while retail investors have to wait until Friday. What's more authentically Raspberry Pi 93 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,920 than commercial buyers grabbing all the available stock while hobbyists get nothing? 94 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:04,600 And Waymo has issued a voluntary recall, AKA a patch for their mapping software 95 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:10,160 following an incident last month when an unoccupied robo-taxi drove into a telephone pole 96 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,680 while trying to pick up a passenger. The passenger didn't see the accident, but she heard it. 97 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:19,680 No one was injured, though to be fair, the collision happened at a speed of eight miles per hour. 98 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,080 About a relatively fast jog. This is only Waymo's second recall. 99 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:29,720 The first was earlier this year when, not one, but two of its vehicles ran into the same pickup truck, 100 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:34,200 only minutes apart from one another while it was being towed. It was probably painted the wrong color or something. 101 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,960 And the only thing keeping you apart from the next episode of TechLink is two more days. 102 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,000 And so come back. You can be painted any color you want. 103 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,200 Use oil-based paint.
