1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,020
oh there's a tech link today but it but it's a holiday huh good thing I wrote a

2
00:00:05,460 --> 00:00:12,240
script and showed up to host it just in case I'm a close one Intel has confirmed

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:16,740
that the leaked Alder Lake BIOS source code uploaded to 4chan and GitHub over

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:22,380
the weekend is legitimate and congratulated the hackers on really a

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:24,300
job well done they got us the league has

6
00:00:22,380 --> 00:00:29,400
sparked concerns that nefarious actors could find vulnerabilities after all

7
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:33,719
security researchers like Mark irmolov are already doing just that Irma lab

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:38,160
discovered the leak contained a private key used to encrypt Intel's boot guard

9
00:00:35,940 --> 00:00:43,620
platform which may no longer be trustworthy on some vendor platforms and

10
00:00:40,980 --> 00:00:48,840
trust me this Mark doesn't joke around unlike the one filming today's episode

11
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:53,219
he loves jokes however Intel says they don't believe

12
00:00:51,059 --> 00:00:57,539
the leak is too dangerous as it appears to have been obtained from an external

13
00:00:54,899 --> 00:01:01,260
vendor not Intel itself and would therefore have the most sensitive data

14
00:00:59,460 --> 00:01:06,299
already scrubbed from the code for example selfies and DMS sent from Intel

15
00:01:03,780 --> 00:01:09,180
CEO Pat gelsinger to his wife those are not in there and they probably never

16
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:13,380
were they would have been super wholesome anyway I like Pat he seems

17
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:16,260
friendly Google just launched new pixel phones which means it's about time for

18
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,640
some news stories about Hardware problems with pixel phones thankfully

19
00:01:18,659 --> 00:01:26,040
this one is not about the new pixel 7 and 7 Pro but unthankfully it involves

20
00:01:24,299 --> 00:01:31,860
not being able to call Emergency Services during emergencies reports from

21
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:35,520
Pixel 6 and 6A owners have been popping up describing their attempts to call

22
00:01:33,420 --> 00:01:40,380
9-1-1 or it's equivalent in other regions only to have the phone freeze up

23
00:01:37,740 --> 00:01:44,820
and not complete the call which sounds way worse than pixel hardware issues of

24
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:51,180
days passed like the camera app bugging out but pixels did have crash detection

25
00:01:47,759 --> 00:01:53,399
before Apple so in am it's okay

26
00:01:51,180 --> 00:01:58,140
it's not speaking of which that feature on the new iPhone 14s has also been

27
00:01:55,619 --> 00:02:02,759
bugging out in the opposite way the Wall Street Journal reported that emergency

28
00:01:59,579 --> 00:02:05,820
services in Ohio got six automatic calls

29
00:02:02,759 --> 00:02:06,899
from iPhones whose users were not in a

30
00:02:05,820 --> 00:02:11,520
car crash isn't that ridiculous yeah they were

31
00:02:09,539 --> 00:02:15,239
actually perfectly safe in tiny open Metal containers being flung around in

32
00:02:13,260 --> 00:02:19,200
the air on a roller coaster okay okay so that I mean and it's time to

33
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:23,400
dunk on meta a little bit because some leaked memos have revealed that many of

34
00:02:20,940 --> 00:02:29,340
the company's workers dislike meta's Flagship metaverse VR app Horizon worlds

35
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:33,180
apparently it's kind of janky and even the team that's building it doesn't use

36
00:02:31,140 --> 00:02:36,780
it very often I also like to imagine that a good many Tech workers are aware

37
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:40,200
of the fact that in the sci-fi novels that popularize the concept of a

38
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:43,800
metaverse it's often characterized as a dystopian Place run by evil Mega

39
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:49,560
corporations and maybe they're hesitating about being complicit in bringing that World about

40
00:02:46,980 --> 00:02:54,239
I don't know other memos indicated that some employees refer to metaverse

41
00:02:51,060 --> 00:02:56,420
projects with the acronym mmh for make

42
00:02:54,239 --> 00:03:00,720
Mark happy that's what I'm trying to do and describe events this year when

43
00:02:58,739 --> 00:03:05,640
Zuckerberg wanted meta to have meetings in VR forcing many employees to scramble

44
00:03:03,180 --> 00:03:08,879
to buy VR headsets because they didn't have them meta's people aren't into the

45
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:12,659
metaverse but everyone else in the world is going to fall in love with strapping

46
00:03:11,459 --> 00:03:18,540
those things to their face for eight hours at work it's just it's intuitive now it's time for quick bits brought to

47
00:03:16,140 --> 00:03:22,440
you by g-skill if you're looking for a memory kit for your brand new system

48
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:28,019
g-skill has got you covered they're Trident Z5 and Z5 RGB ddr5 memory kits

49
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:33,300
are designed for Intel platforms and feature Intel XMP 3.0 allowing for easy

50
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:38,220
overclock performance and if you're on team red g-skills Trident Z5 Neo and

51
00:03:36,180 --> 00:03:42,720
flare X5 series are specifically designed for AMD platforms and feature

52
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:48,540
AMD Expo profiles for easy memory overclocking via the BIOS

53
00:03:45,959 --> 00:03:53,040
which has not been leaked look for your next memory kit with g-skill at the

54
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:58,459
links below what to say about quick bits well for one thing they certainly aren't

55
00:03:56,519 --> 00:04:03,780
slow if you Xbox Chief and Sly dog Phil Spencer

56
00:04:01,980 --> 00:04:08,640
tweeted an innocent photo of his office shelf this morning only to have the

57
00:04:05,580 --> 00:04:11,220
internet pounce on the fact that what's

58
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:16,019
that at the top there a prototype of the project Keystone game streaming device

59
00:04:13,459 --> 00:04:21,600
that was confirmed by the official Xbox Twitter account oh Phil you fool you

60
00:04:19,799 --> 00:04:25,139
walked right into that one completely accidentally Microsoft restarted

61
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:28,800
development of the device earlier this year and its launch date is unknown but

62
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:34,500
maybe we can count on Phil to keep us updated unintentionally

63
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,419
I got you Phil Twitter is about staying

64
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:40,139
in your cultural bubble and making sassy tweets about people in other ones but

65
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:43,259
the company thinks that's too safe some users have reported that while

66
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:48,120
screenshotting a tweet they've gotten a prompt to officially share it instead

67
00:04:46,139 --> 00:04:52,080
supposedly since that way Twitter could blog more engagement Twitter knows that

68
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:56,040
subtweeting is fun and makes you feel good but they would rather have you

69
00:04:53,880 --> 00:05:00,060
confront the idiot that tweeted that stupid thing to their face wouldn't that

70
00:04:58,259 --> 00:05:04,440
feel good until the other person retaliates it would feel good probably

71
00:05:01,979 --> 00:05:08,699
valve made a little oopsie in a recent promotional video for the steam deck by

72
00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:13,860
showing an icon for Yuzu a popular Nintendo switch emulator of course tons

73
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:17,460
of people use the deck for emulation but it's probably better not to point that

74
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:21,240
out to the company whose lawyers are constantly sniffing out any whiff of

75
00:05:19,620 --> 00:05:25,919
unlicensed use of their software straining at their leashes like

76
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:29,880
semi-rabid hunting dogs it's Nintendo I'm referring to here just anyways valve

77
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,780
fixed the video so they should be safe from the Mushroom Kingdom gestapo

78
00:05:31,860 --> 00:05:39,539
security researchers from the University of Glasgow Glasgow Glasgow

79
00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:44,340
security researchers from the University of Glasgow have developed a system

80
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:48,300
called thermosecure which demonstrates the potential for thermal attacks in

81
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:52,560
which thermal cameras can be used to find out your password based on the heat

82
00:05:50,460 --> 00:05:56,400
left on your keyboard by your fingers and it's even worse if you got some hot

83
00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:01,020
thingies of course this would require filming the victim's keyboard right as

84
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:05,820
or soon after they type their password so it's unlikely to be a very widespread

85
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:09,600
threat but keep your eye out for weirdos hanging around your desk it's

86
00:06:07,380 --> 00:06:14,639
particularly an issue here guy named Linus wanders around constantly

87
00:06:12,060 --> 00:06:19,380
what is he doing and praise the Doom guy his game has been shown running on yet

88
00:06:16,979 --> 00:06:25,139
another unlikely and impractical platform Microsoft Notepad YouTuber Sam

89
00:06:22,620 --> 00:06:29,400
person used ASCII Graphics to run the game with no modifications to the

90
00:06:26,819 --> 00:06:33,720
notepad exe file and he even plans to release it to the public soon why

91
00:06:34,740 --> 00:06:39,600
see that's the attitude that ensures you'll never get Doom running on

92
00:06:37,979 --> 00:06:43,740
anything but I believe that you will come back for more Tech news on

93
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:48,380
Wednesday maybe I'm a Fool maybe I'm a Phil Spencer I'm not okay
