WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.400 Hell yeah, you know what time it is. All right, baby, keep on rolling. 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. 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 00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:19.280 in terms of total market capitalization, which is share price times shares outstanding. 00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:23.680 Only one short week after they themselves were briefly bumped into third by NVIDIA. 00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:28.360 Apple's stock price shot up following what some are calling the best WWC ever. 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. 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. 00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:43.360 In a recent interview with the Washington Post, Tim Cook said that they've done everything 00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:50.160 they currently can to address AI hallucinations. But in all honesty, that's short of 100%. 00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:53.640 I would never say it's 100%. That wasn't Tim Cook's voice. 00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:56.640 Wise, considering that Google's AI overviews 00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.760 are still recommending that people eat glue, citing the news reports of its own 00:01:00.760 --> 00:01:04.760 earlier culinary recommendations, without clarifying that it was wrong. 00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:10.440 In response to Apple's relatively limited chat GPT integration, Elon Musk took to Twitter, 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, 00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:18.360 and claiming incorrectly that Apple isn't smart enough 00:01:18.360 --> 00:01:23.160 to make their own in-house LLM. This tweet had a community note, 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. 00:01:28.820 --> 00:01:33.260 The day following the outburst, Musk quietly dropped his ongoing legal case 00:01:33.260 --> 00:01:36.760 against OpenAI for breach of contract. Apparently in response to OpenAI, 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:41.420 publishing several emails from Musk that directly contradict the claims made in his complaint. 00:01:41.420 --> 00:01:45.740 A guy like him hates facts. Google did try to slow down the Apple Intelligence 00:01:45.740 --> 00:01:50.180 hype train, however, dropping a major update for Pixel phones compatible with Android 14. 00:01:50.180 --> 00:01:54.640 This included the usual fixes, stability improvements, and critical security updates. 00:01:54.640 --> 00:02:00.160 However, Google is also extending the AI features previously available only to the Pixel 8 Pro 00:02:00.160 --> 00:02:04.120 to the 8 and 8a. They'll also be expanding their repertoire 00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:08.520 of on-device AI features, including AI-powered live threat detection. 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 00:02:14.880 --> 00:02:17.960 limitations to its AI integration ambitions. 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.000 Other security features include a cellular interception 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:24.720 warning and a lockdown mode that prevents juice jacking, 00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:28.880 which is either a largely hypothetical cyber attack using publicly available charging outlets 00:02:28.880 --> 00:02:33.760 to spread malware, or the crime of stealing a small child's juice box, 00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:35.440 or a steroid powered, 00:02:37.600 --> 00:02:41.320 editor just cut me off. Sadly, in order to bring these new features to life, 00:02:41.320 --> 00:02:45.880 Google had to sacrifice another service to power their foul necromancy. 00:02:45.880 --> 00:02:51.760 And thus the Google Pay app has died, so the anti-juice jacking lockdown might live. 00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:55.480 Google Pay app is dead, long live Google Wallet. 00:02:55.480 --> 00:03:00.080 The European Union has imposed an additional 38% tariff 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.920 on electric vehicles imported from China, bringing the added tax on Chinese EVs to 48%. 00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:11.120 That might sound crazy high, but this actually follows a White House decision last month 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.840 to quadruple tariffs against Chinese EVs to 100%. 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:18.200 Both the EU and the US have obvious protectionist reasons 00:03:18.200 --> 00:03:22.200 to want to exclude cheap Chinese goods from competing with homegrown industry. 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 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:32.760 is a combination of anti-competitive subsidies by Beijing and coerced labor, 00:03:32.760 --> 00:03:38.160 aka slavery within these companies' supply chains. Currently, around half of global EV sales 00:03:38.160 --> 00:03:41.440 are from Chinese manufacturers, because in addition to being cheap, 00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:45.680 they've actually reached the point technologically where they mostly don't suck. 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:50.840 One of the world's most popular EVs, the BYD Siegel, could easily double in price 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.040 and still be the cheapest electric car on the American market. 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. 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:05.480 I checked. Ooh. We're proud to announce the new Teckling's Cocktail. 00:04:05.480 --> 00:04:09.880 It's just two ounces of whiskey and five dashes of quick bidders. 00:04:09.880 --> 00:04:13.480 Yeah. NVIDIA hasn't released or even announced 00:04:13.480 --> 00:04:18.720 their upcoming 50-series GPUs, but that won't stop them from already disappointing gamers. 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:21.720 Reliable leaker, Copight 7keme, 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, 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:32.360 tweeted out purported memory configurations for the five chips that will power the rumored GPU line. 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:37.640 According to this information, only the RTX 5090 will have more VRAM than its predecessor, 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. 00:04:45.640 --> 00:04:48.840 These are just rumors, though. We should wait until NVIDIA's official announcement. 00:04:48.840 --> 00:04:52.200 What's the point of being disappointed when we yet don't know how much 00:04:52.200 --> 00:04:56.760 Team Green will overcharge for them? They're disappointment yet to find. 00:04:56.760 --> 00:05:01.800 Microsoft is dropping official support for Windows 10 in October next year, 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:05.560 but AMD doesn't want to wait. For our lives to be over. 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 00:05:10.440 --> 00:05:14.200 only support Windows 11, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Ubuntu. 00:05:14.200 --> 00:05:17.200 So basically Windows 11 as listed on their specs page, 00:05:17.200 --> 00:05:21.240 which will probably anger the small subset of enthusiasts planning to buy a new laptop 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.800 and replace Windows 11 with 10, and no one else. 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:30.160 But many more potential buyers of the upcoming Snapdragon X-powered co-pilot plus PCs 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. 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.280 It's a perilous time to be a Windows laptop enjoyer. 00:05:41.080 --> 00:05:45.120 See? Another AI video generator, 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:50.960 similar to OpenAI's horrifically impressive Sora, has broken cover joining Kling, 00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:56.240 the tool unveiled last week by Chinese company, Qashu, not pronouncing that another time. 00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:01.320 While Kling almost looks more capable than Sora, it's only accessible to certain partners. 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. 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.720 You're limited to 30 free five second generations 00:06:09.760 --> 00:06:14.360 that seem to be in Sora's ballpark quality-wise, but good luck trying it out. 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:17.680 As soon as it was announced, the site was hammered with traffic, no doubt, 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:24.320 from an army of petite Denis Villeneux who will create the next generation of amazing cinema. 00:06:24.320 --> 00:06:29.360 Raspberry Pi Limited has decided to go public. The company, known for its small programmable computers, 00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.920 is the for-profit subsidiary of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:36.640 or at least it was a subsidiary, subsidiary, subsidiary. 00:06:36.640 --> 00:06:40.040 I don't know. It is set to change during Friday's IPO. 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:44.240 The foundation will sell 10% of its shares and will no longer be the majority owner. 00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:48.000 The company says they won't change much, and I believe them. 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.400 That's because as we speak, institutional investors are trading shares 00:06:51.400 --> 00:06:55.480 while retail investors have to wait until Friday. What's more authentically Raspberry Pi 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.920 than commercial buyers grabbing all the available stock while hobbyists get nothing? 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:04.600 And Waymo has issued a voluntary recall, AKA a patch for their mapping software 00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:10.160 following an incident last month when an unoccupied robo-taxi drove into a telephone pole 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. 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. 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:23.080 About a relatively fast jog. This is only Waymo's second recall. 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, 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. 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. 00:07:38.960 --> 00:07:43.000 And so come back. You can be painted any color you want. 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:44.200 Use oil-based paint.
