1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000 Oh-ho-ho-ho, it's tech news, son. 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,320 Ha-ha-ha-ha, bam, bam, ha-ha-ha, you're not ready. 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,880 Apple's expected to unveil the iPhone 16 lineup 4 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:17,160 in early September, but I don't think anyone was expecting this leaked image of the iPhone 16 Pro 5 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:22,160 in a color that can be charitably described as russet, 6 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,480 ochre, I don't know why I'm pretending to do this. We already made the thumbnail. 7 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,640 The leaker, Sonny Dixon on Twitter, actually. 8 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,480 Ha-ha-ha-ha, that's just his name. 9 00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:37,240 He actually posted the three other much more safe 10 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,960 for the dinner table colors in July, strangely omitting the fourth one, 11 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,920 presumably out of embarrassment. It took him two weeks to muster the courage 12 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,640 to finally be honest with the world. Fine, it's a poop iPhone, okay? 13 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:56,280 Previous iPhone leaks have pointed to Apple going with a new color that could be described as rose 14 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,760 or bronze, maybe indicating a color 15 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,360 that looks different in separate environments with unique lighting. 16 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,860 I mean, maybe this photo was taken in the same environment 17 00:01:06,860 --> 00:01:10,960 as Microsoft's chocolate brown zoom from 2006. 18 00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:16,600 We can't know. Yeah, if I'm being completely honest, I expect this phone to look a lot nicer in person, 19 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:21,200 but if I end up being disappointed, at least that'll be consistent with current rumors 20 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,400 about the iPhone 16 Pro's design, which is expected to feature a new button 21 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,400 for taking pictures and not much else. 22 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,720 One thing the new iPhones will definitely have though is Fortnite in the EU anyway. 23 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:39,320 That's right, Epic Games has finally managed to launch its Epic Game Store app on iOS 24 00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:43,280 through sheer willpower and lots of loud complaining. 25 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,720 The process to install EGS on iOS can still be a bit confusing. 26 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:52,320 So Epic posted a tutorial video, which must have felt so good. 27 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,960 They're making the video just like flipping off a picture of Tim Cook on the wall. 28 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:01,120 Throwing darks at it. Oh, I feel nothing. Why you bought one of these? 29 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,600 Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, that was good. 30 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:10,160 That was good, Jacob. Epic is also relaunching their store app on Android globally 31 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,000 after handily winning their Play Store lawsuit against Google. 32 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,800 Both platforms' versions of EGS will host Epic's own games 33 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,300 like Fortnite, Rocket League, Side Swipe, and Fall Guys, 34 00:02:21,340 --> 00:02:24,460 with plans to host other developers' apps in the future. 35 00:02:24,460 --> 00:02:28,140 It's a triumphant moment, but Epic didn't want to celebrate alone, 36 00:02:28,140 --> 00:02:32,540 so it awarded a mega grant to Alt Store Pal, 37 00:02:32,540 --> 00:02:37,860 another iOS app marketplace. The amount of the monetary award was not disclosed, 38 00:02:37,860 --> 00:02:42,020 but it's apparently enough to cover Apple's ridiculous core technology fee. 39 00:02:42,020 --> 00:02:46,420 So Alt Store developer Riley Tested is dropping the subscription fee 40 00:02:46,420 --> 00:02:51,860 and giving access to the store for free. And that's how Epic is gonna win. 41 00:02:51,860 --> 00:02:56,380 Not by fighting what they hate, by paying people to be their friends. 42 00:02:56,380 --> 00:03:01,220 Web publishers have told Bloomberg Google has put them in a sticky situation. 43 00:03:01,220 --> 00:03:05,900 Either allow the Googlebot web crawler to slither all over their content 44 00:03:05,900 --> 00:03:11,900 and use it as fodder for the AI overviews, most well-known for telling people to literally eat rocks, 45 00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:15,620 or block the crawler and not show up in search results 46 00:03:15,620 --> 00:03:22,100 since the same bot is responsible for both. It's a real catch-22, writes Engadget, wrongly, 47 00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:25,340 because it's not. There's still the choice to block or not block, 48 00:03:25,340 --> 00:03:30,100 so this is just a garden-variety dilemma. Now, if you had to be certifiably insane 49 00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:35,260 to block the Googlebot, but blocking it proved that you were sane, 50 00:03:35,260 --> 00:03:38,260 that would be a catch-22. What were we talking about? 51 00:03:38,260 --> 00:03:41,500 A Google spokesperson. How much of a nerd you are? 52 00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:44,820 Ha ha ha ha. A Google spokesperson responded to Engadget, 53 00:03:44,820 --> 00:03:50,340 clarifying that if websites block the bot, they will still show up in standard search results, 54 00:03:50,340 --> 00:03:55,380 but they won't be included in other search features like Snippets and Google Discover. 55 00:03:55,380 --> 00:04:00,020 That's really nice of Google to only abuse their monopoly on search engines a little bit. 56 00:04:00,020 --> 00:04:03,580 The Department of Justice is currently mulling whether to break up Google 57 00:04:03,580 --> 00:04:09,620 or to force it to share data with competitors after the tech giant lost its big search antitrust case, 58 00:04:09,620 --> 00:04:14,140 but I hope the DOJ considers how good Google behaves sometimes. 59 00:04:14,140 --> 00:04:17,700 They just added better source citations to AI overviews 60 00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:21,380 so you can find exactly where it got the idea that the force is real 61 00:04:21,380 --> 00:04:25,300 and you're just not trying hard enough. Squeeze, try squeezing. 62 00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:29,180 Cut your cheeks. That's where the force comes from. 63 00:04:29,180 --> 00:04:32,780 Oh, the quick bits, oh yeah. 64 00:04:32,780 --> 00:04:36,220 Come right up, Jacob. Are you ready for this? 65 00:04:36,220 --> 00:04:40,220 Let's go. ARM is working on a GPU that will compete 66 00:04:40,220 --> 00:04:45,540 with NVIDIA and Intel, according to sources who spoke to Israeli business outlet Globes. 67 00:04:45,540 --> 00:04:50,180 Of course, ARM already makes GPUs that compete with those companies 68 00:04:50,180 --> 00:04:54,260 in their Snapdragon X Windows laptops. They just compete badly. 69 00:04:54,260 --> 00:04:58,060 Up to a hundred engineers are reportedly working on this new GPU, 70 00:04:58,060 --> 00:05:01,940 which sounds like it'll either be a discrete gaming GPU 71 00:05:01,940 --> 00:05:05,940 or an AI accelerator, which is just a graphics card used solely 72 00:05:05,940 --> 00:05:12,300 to make the internet worse. About a week after confirming that they'll let you install SteamOS on Windows handhelds, 73 00:05:12,340 --> 00:05:18,300 Valve has released official drivers for Steam Deck to allow owners to install and run Windows if they want to. 74 00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:21,300 Maybe you wanna run unsupported games or emulators 75 00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:25,500 or maybe you just like to suffer. Either way, Valve has you covered. 76 00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:29,580 Now, having said that, the drivers aren't perfect. For example, the Windows audio drivers 77 00:05:29,580 --> 00:05:34,100 don't support the Steam Deck's speakers yet, just headphones and Bluetooth audio. 78 00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:38,560 So I can play Fortnite on my Steam Deck and I won't be able to hear any of the eight-year-olds 79 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,420 that don't know how to mute their mic. Sign me up. Did they say mean things to you, Jacob? 80 00:05:43,420 --> 00:05:47,940 No, that's annoying. An ISP in the US is petitioning the Supreme Court 81 00:05:47,940 --> 00:05:53,520 to overturn a ruling that would require them to disconnect customers accused of piracy. 82 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:59,060 It's a very serious issue being championed by a company with a very silly name, Cox Communications. 83 00:05:59,060 --> 00:06:03,140 As the ruling currently stands, Americans could be cut off from the internet 84 00:06:03,140 --> 00:06:06,780 just because they or someone whom they share a network with 85 00:06:06,780 --> 00:06:09,820 received a couple of unproven accusations 86 00:06:09,820 --> 00:06:15,420 of copyright infringement. I think it's unbelievable that a US court made a decision so bad 87 00:06:15,420 --> 00:06:19,820 that an internet service provider is accidentally taking a pro-consumer stance. 88 00:06:19,820 --> 00:06:24,380 What is this? What's happening? A team of researchers has published a paper 89 00:06:24,380 --> 00:06:27,380 suggesting that bikes could be hacked. 90 00:06:27,380 --> 00:06:32,020 Specifically, professional grade bikes that have wireless gear shifting systems, 91 00:06:32,020 --> 00:06:34,020 such as those made by Shimano. 92 00:06:35,740 --> 00:06:40,420 Is that okay? I think that was still racially intensive. Scientists found that the signals put out 93 00:06:40,420 --> 00:06:44,060 by these bikes were interceptable from up to 10 yards away, 94 00:06:44,060 --> 00:06:49,620 allowing hackers to shift a victim's gears or even jam gear shifting on a specific bike. 95 00:06:49,620 --> 00:06:52,620 Fortunately, Shimano has already patched the vulnerabilities, 96 00:06:52,620 --> 00:06:56,780 which is unfortunate for those of us who thought that Tour de France might finally become exciting. 97 00:06:56,780 --> 00:07:00,100 And an international group of researchers have proposed improvements 98 00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:04,380 to modern telecommunication systems. All we have to do is start using 99 00:07:04,380 --> 00:07:09,980 electromagnetic vortex cannons, which I thought was kind of obvious, but thanks. 100 00:07:09,980 --> 00:07:13,780 The cannons in question create toroidal vortexes, 101 00:07:13,780 --> 00:07:18,500 like a smoke ring, but made out of rotating electromagnetic waves 102 00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:22,820 instead of dank vape clouds. The vortexes can carry more information 103 00:07:22,820 --> 00:07:28,100 than traditional electromagnetic wave structures are more resilient to environmental disturbances, 104 00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:31,500 meaning they could be used to send data over long distances. 105 00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:37,420 But the main thing, and I can't stress this enough, they're called electromagnetic vortex cannons. 106 00:07:37,420 --> 00:07:41,700 Well, we're just not gonna use them. Hey, why don't you hop on a vortex cannon 107 00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:45,700 and surf some electromagnetic waves back over here on Monday? 108 00:07:45,700 --> 00:07:49,860 There's gonna be tech news, and I could show you this trick where I blow a smoke ring 109 00:07:49,860 --> 00:07:53,580 and then blow a smoke pirate ship through it. I've never done it before. 110 00:07:53,580 --> 00:07:55,580 But I've got a good feeling about Monday.
