WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.319
oh geez yeah there's a lot of tech news flying around here today

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:10.320
are you okay what you can't see them

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:13.280
are they in the room right now yeah look here's one boom

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:17.199
got him meta suffered a monumental blow this

00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:22.240
week when it reported a drop in daily active facebook users for the first time

00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:25.599
since the platform launched 18 years ago i don't have my prompter remote because

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:32.320
i threw it at riley as a result the tech giant stock dropped by over 20 wiping

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:35.040
out over 250 billion dollars in value

00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:41.760
the single biggest valuation wipeout for an american company in history

00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:45.840
now usually it would seem rude to revel in others misfortunes but after

00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:49.760
facebook's tumultuous history of hiding data about its problematic psychological

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:54.480
impacts while leaking vast amounts of user data that it sells to advertisers

00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:58.960
well let's just say the internet didn't have very many f's to give on top of all

00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:03.440
that facebook is facing a lawsuit from australian billionaire andrew twiggy

00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:08.080
forest over what he describes as its failure to stop criminals using his

00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:12.720
image to advertise for crypto scams making things more confusing is the fact

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:16.080
that forest is in the business of mining but not crypto mining like the the real

00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:20.479
one will facebook survive all of this yes

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:26.400
yes they will but it's okay let's just take a moment

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.400
in chat and freud together okay

00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:35.439
in the netherlands apple has offered to reduce its commission on iOS in-app

00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:37.920
purchases from 30 to a generous 27

00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:41.759
when users use a payment processor other than apple pay

00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:46.240
and honestly i feel like we should be thanking them three percent can do a lot

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:50.159
if you invest it the announcement comes after dutch

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:55.360
regulators ordered apple to allow the use of third-party payment processors in

00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:57.040
iOS dating apps and fined the company 5

00:01:55.360 --> 00:02:01.280
million euros from missing the first deadline to comply many experts

00:01:58.880 --> 00:02:05.040
analyzing the epic v apple lawsuit expected apple to continue to charge a

00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:10.080
commission if third-party payments were allowed but since a 3 drop might not

00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:13.599
actually even cover the transaction fees of whatever apple pay alternative is

00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:17.520
used many developers are wondering if switching is worth it and then there's

00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:21.760
also the fact that you're trying to use iOS

00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:23.920
apple's intellectual property without

00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:27.360
paying them a third of your income have you any morals can you imagine

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:32.160
getting a desktop that's their property in the metaverse

00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:35.519
and Intel has pulled another Intel with a new report comparing the number of

00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:41.280
hardware vulnerabilities found in Intel's chips versus those from its arch

00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:43.360
enemy AMD Intel's 2021 security report

00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:49.840
notes that 31 flaws were discovered in AMD cpus while only 16 were found in

00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:53.040
Intel's Intel did have almost twice

00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:54.800
AMD's flaws in their gpus but actually

00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:59.680
apparently that's due to a component found in Intel graphics chips made by

00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:03.280
AMD this would all kind of make sense if

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:08.080
every flaw was equally dangerous but not all vulnerabilities are as bad as the

00:03:04.959 --> 00:03:08.879
one in helm's deep the single explosive

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:15.760
i mean we didn't see that coming besides Intel and AMD should probably focus on unity

00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:20.080
right now since 23 serious flaws were just found in UEFI firmware that's

00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:26.080
actually used by both of the companies and many others so it's time to stop

00:03:22.959 --> 00:03:28.400
fighting i mean keep fighting but fight

00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:31.440
bad guys not each other and no groin shots

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:35.120
time for o'reilly break now it's time for quick bits brought to

00:03:32.959 --> 00:03:39.040

00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:49.920
algorithm fundamentals and scientific thinking accessible and fun because it

00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:53.599
uses active learning with engaging problems to solve and interactive visual

00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:57.120
concepts to play with there's no harsh grading long lectures or strict time

00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:02.000

00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:18.160
guys totally thought i was gonna give you a break from riley but it was a

00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:21.680
break of riley google has gotten into the right to

00:04:19.840 --> 00:04:25.199
repair spirit with their new chromebook repair program which will help schools

00:04:23.280 --> 00:04:29.520
set up repair facilities partially run by and for students the program is

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:33.440
obviously meant to help google compete against recent pro repair moves made by

00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:37.040
microsoft but that doesn't mean we can't celebrate the fact that the program

00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:41.520
encourages fixing devices instead of chucking them there's a different school

00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:45.840
program for that twitter is initiating a wider rollout of

00:04:43.840 --> 00:04:49.759
its reddit-esque downvoting feature which will now be offered to a selection

00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:52.720
of users worldwide for now the downvotes will only be visible to the user that

00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:58.160
does the downvoting so you won't have the satisfaction of knowing you just taught that person a lesson and they're

00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:02.560
probably still just gonna post the same meme for the 200th time but to be fair

00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:05.919
guys it is a funny meme amazon is increasing the price of its

00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:10.400
all-encompassing prime subscription service for the first time in four years

00:05:08.320 --> 00:05:15.039
now access to free same-day shipping haha not really free some books and

00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:18.000
music some twitch stuff and some tv shows that

00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:22.160
it says mediocre in here but i don't know i haven't watched any of them will

00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:26.880
cost 139 us dollars a year instead of 119. thankfully there is a way to secure

00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:31.120
one more year at the old price that'll be in the news sources down below

00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:34.240
or you could just not

00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:37.440
ebay is a thing i mean daddy bezos got to have them rebuild that bridge for his

00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:40.880
yacht right so rockstar has confirmed that grand theft

00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:46.720
auto 5 will go through one more zombie mutation and lurch

00:05:43.280 --> 00:05:48.240
onto playstation 5 and xbox series snx

00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:52.000
on march 15th the studio also announced that they're

00:05:49.840 --> 00:05:55.680
working on the next grand theft auto which will come out at some point

00:05:53.919 --> 00:06:00.080
probably involves stealing cars maybe grand theft auto

00:05:57.039 --> 00:06:01.280
5s in space in space

00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:05.759
we could be wrong and meta might be struggling but they

00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:12.000
are adding a personal boundary system to their horizon virtual reality world vr

00:06:09.280 --> 00:06:15.840
chat copy thing it will prevent other avatars from getting too close to yours

00:06:14.080 --> 00:06:21.039
which may help prevent virtual harassment initiated by creeps online

00:06:18.960 --> 00:06:23.919
somehow those creeps got online how do they do that

00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:29.520
although pushing up against the boundary would probably be just as creepy that

00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:33.600
they're just yeah let's make it like if they're just here is that

00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:37.120
yeah it's still weird um and what's also weird is this video is

00:06:35.520 --> 00:06:40.800
over there was all that tech news flying around i swear i saw it

00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:43.840
