1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,720
i told you the tech news would be back and in greater numbers put the blast

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:10,800
shield down i can't even see how am i supposed to fight

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:15,200
this week rumors proliferated that sega would be launching a new console soon

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:20,880
which is weird because they haven't done that since 2005 when they released the

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,560
advanced picobina in japan

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:27,039
still one of my favorites the rumor mill got kicked into overdrive

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:31,039
when some genius speculated that this console launch would actually be a

8
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:36,000
separate release of the xbox series x for japan where it would be branded as

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:41,120
the sega series x yeah that obviously wasn't real and it

10
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:47,120
was very stupid and so today we found out what the console actually is it's a

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:52,559
game gear micro and sega isn't kidding when they say micro the thing's got a

12
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:55,520
1.15 inch screen the game gear micro is

13
00:00:52,559 --> 00:00:59,600
actually four fifty dollar consoles each a different color with a different

14
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:04,799
selection of four game gear games but if you buy all four of them you get a big

15
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:09,280
magnifying glass accessory so you don't have to ask yourself if this handheld

16
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:13,119
console is actually made for ants i'm disappointed i wish it had actually

17
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:16,400
been playable i loved my game gear games leaks posted on xda developers have

18
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:20,960
given us a pretty good look at the device that google is reportedly making

19
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:27,600
to replace the chromecast ultra its code name is sabrina and it comes in not pink

20
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:31,600
and it will run full Android tv rather than

21
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:35,840
whatever chromecast ultras run now if the leaks are accurate sabrina could

22
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:40,400
come with a new Android tv ui that can be navigated with the included remote

23
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:45,119
control featuring what looks like an ipod style scroll wheel and a star

24
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,880
button you just press that one for fun it doesn't actually do anything it's

25
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,880
unclear when the device will launch as every event scheduled during this insane

26
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,560
year has been either delayed or cancelled at least once so you're just

27
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:00,560
going to have to keep clenching your buttholes for now

28
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:04,719
and wait for news to come out and contact tracing apps have been rolling

29
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,959
out across europe both with and without the API developed by apple and google

30
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:14,560
the pairing of which i will henceforth refer to as google france's stop covet

31
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:18,080
app which started development before the google API and therefore uses its own

32
00:02:16,239 --> 00:02:22,720
proprietary tech launched yesterday and the country says that downloading the

33
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:26,959
app is voluntary but a recent poll said that less than half of the population is

34
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:31,040
interested in participating italy meanwhile launched their immuni app

35
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:36,480
which does use google's contact tracing API joining the swiss google-powered app

36
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,640
swiscovid which is still in beta it is hoped that if enough people participate

37
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:44,720
in contract contract tracing we're going to find all those contracts contact

38
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:48,160
tracing the spread of covet 19 could be quickly controlled which will be

39
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:52,160
especially important if and when we see a second wave of outbreaks sure you

40
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:56,000
might be giving google even more personally identifying information but

41
00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:59,599
they probably already know you better than you know yourself anyway so if you

42
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:04,959
ever feel alone you know google is in there

43
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,319
now it's time for the qrikety splits brought to you by brilliant whether

44
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,760
you're a student looking to get ahead a professional brushing up on cutting edge

45
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,040
topics or some other category of potentially really smart person you

46
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:20,640
should check out brilliant thought-provoking math science and computer science content they help guide

47
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:24,159
you to mastery by breaking complex concepts into bite-sized chunks why

48
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:28,000
don't you check out the mathematical fundamentals course which introduces the

49
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,159
foundational ideas of number theory logic and algebra through creative

50
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,920
challenges the first 200 of you who had to brilliant.org techlinked are going to

51
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:41,040
get 20 off their annual premium subscription so check out that link it's

52
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:45,599
down below if your mobile carrier is at t you may find that streaming on the

53
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:50,000
recently launched hbo max app doesn't count against your data cap which seems

54
00:03:48,239 --> 00:03:55,280
so weird until you remember that at t owns hbo

55
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:59,519
this kind of anti-competitive behavior was supposed to be prevented by net

56
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:03,680
neutrality laws back when the u.s had those although i mean it's not like i

57
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:07,439
necessarily feel bad for netflix here either

58
00:04:04,959 --> 00:04:10,799
poor netflix they need our help the bbc has released their voice assistant named

59
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:18,639
beeb in beta you can ask bieb to access bbc

60
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:20,959
radio bbc music

61
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:25,840
podcasts news and weather and it will respond to a perfectly friendly northern

62
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:30,960
english accent not sure whether you also have to use an accent can i you can do

63
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:34,639
it all right then play us a film then and google has pulled an app from the

64
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:39,360
google play store that was explicitly designed to remove apps developed by

65
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:44,639
chinese companies from a user's phone the app sensibly named remove china apps

66
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:48,720
was developed by indian firm one touch app Labs and is part of a growing

67
00:04:46,479 --> 00:04:53,520
anti-china sentiment in the country due to the himalayan border dispute i guess

68
00:04:51,040 --> 00:05:00,320
the question of who removes the app removers has been answered now then it's

69
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:02,639
google but who removes google

70
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:06,800
ubisoft came under fire this week for suggesting that the pricing scheme for

71
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:12,160
trackmania nations which involves paying an annual fee to access the game was not

72
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:16,720
a subscription despite it clearly being a subscription the game

73
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:20,320
developer finally admitted that well okay yes

74
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:25,360
the game is subscription based but also that that's not the point the

75
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:30,240
point is that we keep getting money don't you understand oh that's fine yeah

76
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:34,800
idiot and researchers at west virginia's rockefeller neuroscience institute say

77
00:05:32,479 --> 00:05:40,000
that wearing wearable smart rings like the aura can detect covet 19 related

78
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:44,240
symptoms up to three days earlier than other methods with over 90 accuracy the

79
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:48,960
other 10 of people really got to watch out though you know like hey the ring

80
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,960
said i'm good

81
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:56,240
and that's enough of that this episode's over come back on friday for more tech

82
00:05:53,680 --> 00:06:00,240
news i have a feeling it will be a great disturbance in the force

83
00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:05,919
that's more dracula than obi-wan but that's okay we're very

84
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,919
we try very hard around here
