WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.720
i told you the tech news would be back and in greater numbers put the blast

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:10.800
shield down i can't even see how am i supposed to fight

00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:15.200
this week rumors proliferated that sega would be launching a new console soon

00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:20.880
which is weird because they haven't done that since 2005 when they released the

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:22.560
advanced picobina in japan

00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:27.039
still one of my favorites the rumor mill got kicked into overdrive

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:31.039
when some genius speculated that this console launch would actually be a

00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:36.000
separate release of the xbox series x for japan where it would be branded as

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:41.120
the sega series x yeah that obviously wasn't real and it

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

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

00:00:49.160 --> 00:00:55.520
1.15 inch screen the game gear micro is

00:00:52.559 --> 00:00:59.600
actually four fifty dollar consoles each a different color with a different

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

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:09.280
magnifying glass accessory so you don't have to ask yourself if this handheld

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:13.119
console is actually made for ants i'm disappointed i wish it had actually

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:16.400
been playable i loved my game gear games leaks posted on xda developers have

00:01:14.960 --> 00:01:20.960
given us a pretty good look at the device that google is reportedly making

00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:27.600
to replace the chromecast ultra its code name is sabrina and it comes in not pink

00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:31.600
and it will run full Android tv rather than

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:35.840
whatever chromecast ultras run now if the leaks are accurate sabrina could

00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:40.400
come with a new Android tv ui that can be navigated with the included remote

00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:45.119
control featuring what looks like an ipod style scroll wheel and a star

00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:48.880
button you just press that one for fun it doesn't actually do anything it's

00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:52.880
unclear when the device will launch as every event scheduled during this insane

00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:56.560
year has been either delayed or cancelled at least once so you're just

00:01:55.119 --> 00:02:00.560
going to have to keep clenching your buttholes for now

00:01:58.479 --> 00:02:04.719
and wait for news to come out and contact tracing apps have been rolling

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:08.959
out across europe both with and without the API developed by apple and google

00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:14.560
the pairing of which i will henceforth refer to as google france's stop covet

00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:18.080
app which started development before the google API and therefore uses its own

00:02:16.239 --> 00:02:22.720
proprietary tech launched yesterday and the country says that downloading the

00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:26.959
app is voluntary but a recent poll said that less than half of the population is

00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:31.040
interested in participating italy meanwhile launched their immuni app

00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:36.480
which does use google's contact tracing API joining the swiss google-powered app

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:40.640
swiscovid which is still in beta it is hoped that if enough people participate

00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:44.720
in contract contract tracing we're going to find all those contracts contact

00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:48.160
tracing the spread of covet 19 could be quickly controlled which will be

00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:52.160
especially important if and when we see a second wave of outbreaks sure you

00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:56.000
might be giving google even more personally identifying information but

00:02:54.640 --> 00:02:59.599
they probably already know you better than you know yourself anyway so if you

00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:04.959
ever feel alone you know google is in there

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:08.319
now it's time for the qrikety splits brought to you by brilliant whether

00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:11.760
you're a student looking to get ahead a professional brushing up on cutting edge

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:15.040
topics or some other category of potentially really smart person you

00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:20.640
should check out brilliant thought-provoking math science and computer science content they help guide

00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:24.159
you to mastery by breaking complex concepts into bite-sized chunks why

00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:28.000
don't you check out the mathematical fundamentals course which introduces the

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:32.159
foundational ideas of number theory logic and algebra through creative

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:35.920
challenges the first 200 of you who had to brilliant.org techlinked are going to

00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:41.040
get 20 off their annual premium subscription so check out that link it's

00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:45.599
down below if your mobile carrier is at t you may find that streaming on the

00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:50.000
recently launched hbo max app doesn't count against your data cap which seems

00:03:48.239 --> 00:03:55.280
so weird until you remember that at t owns hbo

00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:59.519
this kind of anti-competitive behavior was supposed to be prevented by net

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

00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:07.439
necessarily feel bad for netflix here either

00:04:04.959 --> 00:04:10.799
poor netflix they need our help the bbc has released their voice assistant named

00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:18.639
beeb in beta you can ask bieb to access bbc

00:04:14.480 --> 00:04:20.959
radio bbc music

00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:25.840
podcasts news and weather and it will respond to a perfectly friendly northern

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

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

00:04:32.880 --> 00:04:39.360
google play store that was explicitly designed to remove apps developed by

00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:44.639
chinese companies from a user's phone the app sensibly named remove china apps

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:48.720
was developed by indian firm one touch app Labs and is part of a growing

00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:53.520
anti-china sentiment in the country due to the himalayan border dispute i guess

00:04:51.040 --> 00:05:00.320
the question of who removes the app removers has been answered now then it's

00:04:56.400 --> 00:05:02.639
google but who removes google

00:05:00.320 --> 00:05:06.800
ubisoft came under fire this week for suggesting that the pricing scheme for

00:05:04.400 --> 00:05:12.160
trackmania nations which involves paying an annual fee to access the game was not

00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:16.720
a subscription despite it clearly being a subscription the game

00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:20.320
developer finally admitted that well okay yes

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:25.360
the game is subscription based but also that that's not the point the

00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:30.240
point is that we keep getting money don't you understand oh that's fine yeah

00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:34.800
idiot and researchers at west virginia's rockefeller neuroscience institute say

00:05:32.479 --> 00:05:40.000
that wearing wearable smart rings like the aura can detect covet 19 related

00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:44.240
symptoms up to three days earlier than other methods with over 90 accuracy the

00:05:42.320 --> 00:05:48.960
other 10 of people really got to watch out though you know like hey the ring

00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:48.960
said i'm good

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

00:05:53.680 --> 00:06:00.240
news i have a feeling it will be a great disturbance in the force

00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:05.919
that's more dracula than obi-wan but that's okay we're very

00:06:02.320 --> 00:06:05.919
we try very hard around here
