00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:19.460
A mysterious source has revealed that AMD's new 7000 series GPUs are a bad value compared

00:00:19.460 --> 00:00:23.440
to its earlier cards, which surely is embarrassing for the company.

00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:28.700
What's even more embarrassing is that that source is AMD itself?

00:00:28.700 --> 00:00:32.960
The GPU manufacturer wrote a blog post in an attempt to convince consumers to purchase

00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:40.220
their new RX 7900 XTX and XT cards by saying they are the most powerful Radeon lineup in

00:00:40.220 --> 00:00:45.300
years. They show multiple graphs touting performance, but the real corporate oopsie comes in the

00:00:45.300 --> 00:00:50.720
form of the last graph, which shows average FPS per dollar at 1080p.

00:00:50.720 --> 00:00:56.620
The $1,000 7900 XTX ends up having the worst value.

00:00:56.620 --> 00:01:02.220
Less than half of the clear winner, the 6400, and yet the post insists this year's AMD

00:01:02.220 --> 00:01:05.900
Radeon RX graphics family is looking like the best yet.

00:01:05.900 --> 00:01:10.300
It gets worse when you read the fine print and see that they tested the RX 6400 at a

00:01:10.300 --> 00:01:16.540
lower graphic preset than every other card, presumably to inflate the FPS value of the

00:01:16.540 --> 00:01:21.460
card. And I guess without realizing that would also make frames per dollar better?

00:01:21.460 --> 00:01:25.140
Maybe they thought they were measuring dollars per FPS, since that's what it says in the

00:01:25.260 --> 00:01:30.740
graph's title. Or maybe AMD watched the number 23 and it ruined numbers for them forever.

00:01:30.740 --> 00:01:35.300
And Jim Carrey. And Jim Carrey. I always hated numbers from birth.

00:01:35.300 --> 00:01:40.140
India has announced their own PhonOS to compete with the likes of Google and Apple.

00:01:40.140 --> 00:01:45.420
Just a week after an official tease to the possibility of this happening, Dermendra Pradhan,

00:01:45.420 --> 00:01:50.380
the Minister for Education and Minister of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, he's

00:01:50.380 --> 00:01:53.900
got a lot under his belt there. That's not what that means.

00:01:53.900 --> 00:02:01.820
Umbrella? He claims that the so-called Bar OS is incapable of running malware, which he demonstrated

00:02:01.820 --> 00:02:04.820
by saying those words and doing nothing else.

00:02:04.820 --> 00:02:09.220
All you need, baby. They tried to stick malware in it many times.

00:02:09.220 --> 00:02:14.340
It just doesn't fit in the hole. He tested the OS at work in a video posted to Twitter.

00:02:14.340 --> 00:02:18.020
Wait, sorry. What hole, Riley? The OS hole.

00:02:18.020 --> 00:02:23.500
At least we assume he tested it. Nothing is shown to the camera, but he said he tested it.

00:02:23.500 --> 00:02:29.620
So again, how can you argue? It's claimed that the OS shares no user data and does not feature any preloaded apps.

00:02:29.620 --> 00:02:33.900
And that last point is interesting, because the Competition Commission of India recently

00:02:33.900 --> 00:02:39.100
demanded that Google stop forcing phone manufacturers that license their GMS version of Android

00:02:39.100 --> 00:02:42.700
to preinstall Google apps like Chrome and YouTube.

00:02:42.700 --> 00:02:48.500
India being able to push back against Google is a big deal, since Android has a 97% market

00:02:48.500 --> 00:02:54.240
share in the South Asian country. At the same time, because of the massive hold Google has in the market, there are some

00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.620
doubts that Bar OS will be able to truly compete.

00:02:57.620 --> 00:03:00.940
But hey, if Dharmendra Pradhan says it'll happen, I believe him.

00:03:00.940 --> 00:03:05.260
I mean, how can you not trust a man with a mustache like that?

00:03:05.260 --> 00:03:08.260
Is mine like his? You work with him every day. Is it?

00:03:08.260 --> 00:03:12.460
You learn who he really is. His is better than mine, isn't it? It is, yeah.

00:03:12.460 --> 00:03:16.020
And an exploit has been released for a critical bug in Windows.

00:03:16.020 --> 00:03:21.620
And researchers at security firm Akamai released a proof-of-concept exploit code for a critical

00:03:21.620 --> 00:03:26.860
Windows crypto API vulnerability that would allow threat actors to make malicious code

00:03:26.860 --> 00:03:33.580
appear to be from a trusted source. Just like when my brother's friend dressed up like a doctor and convinced me, I had terminal

00:03:33.580 --> 00:03:38.460
cooties. Inoperable. Unlike the other cooties.

00:03:38.460 --> 00:03:43.260
Apparently, Microsoft patched this bug in August of last year, but didn't publicly mention

00:03:43.260 --> 00:03:56.240
it until October. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea, though, because Akamai's researchers found some applications

00:03:56.240 --> 00:04:00.760
in the wild, such as old versions of Chrome and Chromium-based applications, that can

00:04:00.760 --> 00:04:08.880
be exploited with their exploit code. Even worse, they said that fewer than 1% of visible devices in data centers are patched,

00:04:08.880 --> 00:04:12.480
meaning 99% of servers are still vulnerable to attacks.

00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:17.000
I see the math equation over there. Only 1% has a patch over these motorcycle gangs?

00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:21.880
I guess computer servers now know how human servers feel when any customer at any moment

00:04:21.880 --> 00:04:25.400
can yell at them just because they didn't get ranch dressing on the side.

00:04:25.400 --> 00:04:29.280
I wouldn't know what that was like. I just bust tables. Wait, I'm in a different shirt.

00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:33.280
Who was that guy? And where are the quick bits?

00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:38.960
U.S. asteroid mining startup Astroforge has planned a private mission to inspect an asteroid

00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:42.120
22 million miles from Earth for terminal cooties.

00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:47.400
I'm just kidding. Which is generally how far away from Earth I, like my giant space rocks, that's close

00:04:47.400 --> 00:04:52.800
enough. However, two years ago, academics warned that space mining may have many undesirable effects

00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:57.520
if it isn't internationally regulated and even wrote an open letter to the UN to request

00:04:57.520 --> 00:05:03.240
drafting an international treaty. The law may go either way on space mining, but if there's one thing we can all agree

00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:08.360
on, it's that if you find the marker from Dead Space, you leave it alone.

00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.960
Make us whole. Not again. I thought.

00:05:11.960 --> 00:05:17.120
After announcing his company's AI lawyer would practice in an actual court case, Joshua

00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:22.080
Browder, the CEO of New York Startup Do Not Pay, has canceled the stunt, saying on Twitter

00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:26.120
that multiple bar associations have threatened his company.

00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:32.520
Some of them even said he would be thrown in jail. If only he could have seen this coming by, I don't know, consulting an intellect with

00:05:32.520 --> 00:05:41.920
a vast wealth of legal knowledge, such as a Chinese retailers have been caught selling

00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:47.560
used crypto mining GPUs that have had components repainted to make them appear new.

00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:53.800
The scheme was uncovered by the dynamic duo of Brazilian YouTuber Iskander, Suza, and

00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:59.160
computer technician Paulo Gomez, making them in my mind even more of a Brazilian Batman

00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.640
and Robin than the real Brazilian Batman from 2012.

00:06:02.640 --> 00:06:10.040
That exists? Show the clip. The sellers even went so far as to label individual memory chips with different numbers so they

00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:15.160
look like they came from the same batch. I mean, you gotta love it when people care about their craft.

00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:23.160
Kudos. Yandex, the Russian tech giant, often called Russia's Google, or even St.Gugelsberg, that

00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:28.360
was dumb, was hacked in July 2022, according to someone who just publicly uploaded the

00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:36.600
source code for many of the company's products. That includes Yandex Maps, Yandex Mail, Yandex Pay, Yandex Taxi, and even the company's

00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.640
AI assistant, Alice, who didn't ask for any of this.

00:06:39.760 --> 00:06:42.760
What about e-mail? Like, why mail?

00:06:42.760 --> 00:06:45.760
No, it's... What about why mail? No, that's...

00:06:45.760 --> 00:06:51.720
They want to do things the difficult way. However, Yandex maintains that they were not hacked because such things only happened

00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:58.040
to evil Western companies. The leaked code is out of date and may have been grabbed by a former employee freeing Alice

00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:01.720
from her Siberian imprisonment, which I can, you know, get her out of there.

00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:08.720
She doesn't belong to Google log. And a team of Chinese and American scientists have shown off a robot the size of a Lego mini-figure

00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:14.000
that can melt, squeeze through tight spaces, and then reform into an emotionless killing

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:18.040
machine on the other side. First question is why.

00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:25.440
Second question is how. Well, it's made out of magneto-active phase transitional matter, or MPTM, which is science

00:07:25.440 --> 00:07:29.800
for a mixture of gallium, neodymium, iron, and boron.

00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:33.280
Did I say any of that right? Boron. I would give you neodymium.

00:07:33.280 --> 00:07:38.960
Neodymium? I'm special. Second question, is it really fair to call this a robot if it's being externally controlled

00:07:38.960 --> 00:07:43.200
with magnetic fields? I mean, to be fair, that's what the lizard people are doing to us right now, but we're

00:07:43.200 --> 00:07:48.440
not robots, so. And the lizard people really want you to tune back in on Monday.

00:07:48.440 --> 00:07:51.680
They said if you don't, they're gonna lick your feet while you sleep. This is part of the deal.

00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:53.680
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
