WEBVTT

00:00:02.320 --> 00:00:09.760
ah that's good james can we do the show please oh sorry i was just enjoying a

00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:14.080
refreshing drink from the new Linus tech tech tips insulated water bottle with a

00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:19.520
super cool matte black motherboard design now available on the LTT Store

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:23.840
the latest Windows update was released on april 9th and it promptly started

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:29.359
breaking systems with anti-virus software installed naturally security

00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:34.399
apps from sofos avast avira and archibit are all affected causing systems to

00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:36.320
freeze or run ridiculously slowly when

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:40.960
their user attempts to log into Windows 10. now mcafee apps are also messed up

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:47.520
although they're already kind of freaking annoying when they work properly i can only imagine them acting

00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:49.840
up as badly as the company's founder that

00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:54.239
i don't i would delete it i don't install the the best fix right now seems

00:00:52.239 --> 00:00:58.800
to be booting into safe mode disabling your antivirus then restarting and

00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:02.160
strangely adding your own security apps folder to the list of excluded locations

00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:06.880
to scan also helps apparently which is just

00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:10.880
trippy i feel like i'm in one of the john mcafee's fevered dreams ah that

00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:15.439
doesn't sound like a good time it's great to see tech giants playing nice

00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:20.320
for a change amazon and google have both made one of the other services available

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:24.960
on their respective platforms with uh the youtube app now on fire tv devices

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:29.360
and prime video now accessible through chromecast now to be fair the fact that

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:34.159
they weren't available is a result of a spat between the two tech giants back in

00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:38.720
2017 when amazon.com refused to carry google products so google pulled youtube

00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:43.520
support from the echo show which prompted amazon to pull prime video

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:49.119
support on chromecast and then google also pulled youtube support from fire tv

00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:51.119
sticks but this is progress people

00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:55.119
holding grudges isn't healthy but since they're still competitors they also

00:01:52.960 --> 00:02:00.079
launched competing services on the same day free ad-supported music playback is

00:01:57.759 --> 00:02:04.320
now available on echo devices by amazon music and google home devices via

00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:10.160
youtube music and you still can't use the youtube app on the echo show the

00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:12.400
drama continues xoxo gossip girl

00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:16.640
facebook stop enough the latest security snafu from

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:22.560
the social media giant is the news that it did an oopsy and unintentionally

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:27.680
uploaded 1.5 million users email contacts to the platform uh since may

00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:32.000
2016. this screw-up was related to facebook's request for users to input

00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:36.000
their email passwords in order to log in the email credentials were apparently

00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:40.080
used to harvest users contact lists without their permission which would be

00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:44.160
less concerning if facebook already hadn't demonstrated it it sucks at

00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:47.519
security this week the company also admitted that

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:52.879
millions of instagram passwords were stored in unencrypted plain text format

00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:57.200
in addition to the 600 million facebook passwords we've already heard about huh

00:02:55.519 --> 00:03:01.120
sounds like a great time to announce that facebook is working on a voice

00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:04.800
assistant to rival google assistant and amazon's alexa

00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:10.400
no no it's not a good time for that facebook it'll probably never be a good

00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:15.360
time ever in the future i don't think you should do that

00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:16.879
at all stop but we can't stop because

00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:22.239
it's time for the quick bits brought to you by my favorite madrina's coffee

00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:29.680

caramel finish in fact i want to eat this whole damn bag right now well

00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:42.400

00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:46.560
you're going to throw that too madrina's cool grew coffee and i can don't eat

00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:51.040

00:03:49.040 --> 00:03:55.920
vanilla cappuccino the real kicker is you can get 40 off your entire order

00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:58.159

00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:11.840
nintendo reportedly plans to release a smaller cheaper version of the switch

00:04:09.920 --> 00:04:16.320
console by the end of the year before releasing a higher end model sometime

00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:20.000
next year maybe the cheaper one won't come with controllers and maybe it'll

00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:24.320
run Android and maybe maybe it's just a phone after an expose by the

00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:27.759
hard-hitting reporters at buzzfeed news okay that's going to take me a while to

00:04:25.440 --> 00:04:33.120
get used to google has taken down six seemingly benign apps made by chinese

00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:37.040
company du group do group which were collecting and sending user data to

00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:41.919
china as well as running background processes that clicked on web ads to

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:45.360
generate revenue the apps had over 90 million downloads altogether so next

00:04:43.840 --> 00:04:50.000
time you think you need to download an app for something you better not

00:04:48.479 --> 00:04:54.720
play it safe guys ride sharing service car to go saw over

00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:58.240
100 of its vehicles hijacked in chicago and used to commit crimes

00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:01.600
the incident was initially thought to be the result of a software hack but

00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:05.520
cardigo denied this saying it was instead an instance of fraud

00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:11.120
21 people have since been arrested and charged i don't know how 21 people drove

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:14.080
100 cars let me get to the math here uh we'll wait until the investigation

00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:19.120
concludes either way pretty impressive probably used computers it's like when

00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:23.360
you walk like six dogs at once amazon is bowing out of part of its

00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:28.639
commercial operations in china after apparently failing to compete with local

00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:32.479
companies like alibaba and jd.com chinese customers can still order

00:05:30.479 --> 00:05:36.080
products off of amazon but the online store will no longer be open to

00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:40.720
third-party sellers and that's most of the sellers amazon

00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:44.400
found out the hard way china number one and of all the people to hack in the

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:48.240
whole world you wouldn't think that the weather channel would be at the top of

00:05:46.080 --> 00:05:52.479
the list but yesterday the network was taken off the air by a ransomware attack

00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:57.039
apparently they sorted things out as the channel came back up after an hour but

00:05:54.960 --> 00:06:00.560
come on the weather channel they're just out here trying to help people avoid

00:05:58.400 --> 00:06:06.000
