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

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

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:16.740
that the leaked Alder Lake BIOS source code uploaded to 4chan and GitHub over

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:22.380
the weekend is legitimate and congratulated the hackers on really a

00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:24.300
job well done they got us the league has

00:00:22.380 --> 00:00:29.400
sparked concerns that nefarious actors could find vulnerabilities after all

00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:33.719
security researchers like Mark irmolov are already doing just that Irma lab

00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:38.160
discovered the leak contained a private key used to encrypt Intel's boot guard

00:00:35.940 --> 00:00:43.620
platform which may no longer be trustworthy on some vendor platforms and

00:00:40.980 --> 00:00:48.840
trust me this Mark doesn't joke around unlike the one filming today's episode

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:53.219
he loves jokes however Intel says they don't believe

00:00:51.059 --> 00:00:57.539
the leak is too dangerous as it appears to have been obtained from an external

00:00:54.899 --> 00:01:01.260
vendor not Intel itself and would therefore have the most sensitive data

00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:06.299
already scrubbed from the code for example selfies and DMS sent from Intel

00:01:03.780 --> 00:01:09.180
CEO Pat gelsinger to his wife those are not in there and they probably never

00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:13.380
were they would have been super wholesome anyway I like Pat he seems

00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:16.260
friendly Google just launched new pixel phones which means it's about time for

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:20.640
some news stories about Hardware problems with pixel phones thankfully

00:01:18.659 --> 00:01:26.040
this one is not about the new pixel 7 and 7 Pro but unthankfully it involves

00:01:24.299 --> 00:01:31.860
not being able to call Emergency Services during emergencies reports from

00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:35.520
Pixel 6 and 6A owners have been popping up describing their attempts to call

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

00:01:37.740 --> 00:01:44.820
and not complete the call which sounds way worse than pixel hardware issues of

00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:51.180
days passed like the camera app bugging out but pixels did have crash detection

00:01:47.759 --> 00:01:53.399
before Apple so in am it's okay

00:01:51.180 --> 00:01:58.140
it's not speaking of which that feature on the new iPhone 14s has also been

00:01:55.619 --> 00:02:02.759
bugging out in the opposite way the Wall Street Journal reported that emergency

00:01:59.579 --> 00:02:05.820
services in Ohio got six automatic calls

00:02:02.759 --> 00:02:06.899
from iPhones whose users were not in a

00:02:05.820 --> 00:02:11.520
car crash isn't that ridiculous yeah they were

00:02:09.539 --> 00:02:15.239
actually perfectly safe in tiny open Metal containers being flung around in

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

00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:23.400
dunk on meta a little bit because some leaked memos have revealed that many of

00:02:20.940 --> 00:02:29.340
the company's workers dislike meta's Flagship metaverse VR app Horizon worlds

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

00:02:31.140 --> 00:02:36.780
it very often I also like to imagine that a good many Tech workers are aware

00:02:35.160 --> 00:02:40.200
of the fact that in the sci-fi novels that popularize the concept of a

00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:43.800
metaverse it's often characterized as a dystopian Place run by evil Mega

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:49.560
corporations and maybe they're hesitating about being complicit in bringing that World about

00:02:46.980 --> 00:02:54.239
I don't know other memos indicated that some employees refer to metaverse

00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:56.420
projects with the acronym mmh for make

00:02:54.239 --> 00:03:00.720
Mark happy that's what I'm trying to do and describe events this year when

00:02:58.739 --> 00:03:05.640
Zuckerberg wanted meta to have meetings in VR forcing many employees to scramble

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

00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:12.659
metaverse but everyone else in the world is going to fall in love with strapping

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

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

00:03:20.040 --> 00:03:28.019
g-skill has got you covered they're Trident Z5 and Z5 RGB ddr5 memory kits

00:03:26.040 --> 00:03:33.300
are designed for Intel platforms and feature Intel XMP 3.0 allowing for easy

00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:38.220
overclock performance and if you're on team red g-skills Trident Z5 Neo and

00:03:36.180 --> 00:03:42.720
flare X5 series are specifically designed for AMD platforms and feature

00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:48.540
AMD Expo profiles for easy memory overclocking via the BIOS

00:03:45.959 --> 00:03:53.040
which has not been leaked look for your next memory kit with g-skill at the

00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:58.459
links below what to say about quick bits well for one thing they certainly aren't

00:03:56.519 --> 00:04:03.780
slow if you Xbox Chief and Sly dog Phil Spencer

00:04:01.980 --> 00:04:08.640
tweeted an innocent photo of his office shelf this morning only to have the

00:04:05.580 --> 00:04:11.220
internet pounce on the fact that what's

00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:16.019
that at the top there a prototype of the project Keystone game streaming device

00:04:13.459 --> 00:04:21.600
that was confirmed by the official Xbox Twitter account oh Phil you fool you

00:04:19.799 --> 00:04:25.139
walked right into that one completely accidentally Microsoft restarted

00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:28.800
development of the device earlier this year and its launch date is unknown but

00:04:27.300 --> 00:04:34.500
maybe we can count on Phil to keep us updated unintentionally

00:04:31.400 --> 00:04:36.419
I got you Phil Twitter is about staying

00:04:34.500 --> 00:04:40.139
in your cultural bubble and making sassy tweets about people in other ones but

00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:43.259
the company thinks that's too safe some users have reported that while

00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:48.120
screenshotting a tweet they've gotten a prompt to officially share it instead

00:04:46.139 --> 00:04:52.080
supposedly since that way Twitter could blog more engagement Twitter knows that

00:04:50.280 --> 00:04:56.040
subtweeting is fun and makes you feel good but they would rather have you

00:04:53.880 --> 00:05:00.060
confront the idiot that tweeted that stupid thing to their face wouldn't that

00:04:58.259 --> 00:05:04.440
feel good until the other person retaliates it would feel good probably

00:05:01.979 --> 00:05:08.699
valve made a little oopsie in a recent promotional video for the steam deck by

00:05:06.300 --> 00:05:13.860
showing an icon for Yuzu a popular Nintendo switch emulator of course tons

00:05:11.880 --> 00:05:17.460
of people use the deck for emulation but it's probably better not to point that

00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:21.240
out to the company whose lawyers are constantly sniffing out any whiff of

00:05:19.620 --> 00:05:25.919
unlicensed use of their software straining at their leashes like

00:05:23.100 --> 00:05:29.880
semi-rabid hunting dogs it's Nintendo I'm referring to here just anyways valve

00:05:28.440 --> 00:05:33.780
fixed the video so they should be safe from the Mushroom Kingdom gestapo

00:05:31.860 --> 00:05:39.539
security researchers from the University of Glasgow Glasgow Glasgow

00:05:37.380 --> 00:05:44.340
security researchers from the University of Glasgow have developed a system

00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:48.300
called thermosecure which demonstrates the potential for thermal attacks in

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:52.560
which thermal cameras can be used to find out your password based on the heat

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

00:05:54.720 --> 00:06:01.020
thingies of course this would require filming the victim's keyboard right as

00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:05.820
or soon after they type their password so it's unlikely to be a very widespread

00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:09.600
threat but keep your eye out for weirdos hanging around your desk it's

00:06:07.380 --> 00:06:14.639
particularly an issue here guy named Linus wanders around constantly

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

00:06:16.979 --> 00:06:25.139
another unlikely and impractical platform Microsoft Notepad YouTuber Sam

00:06:22.620 --> 00:06:29.400
person used ASCII Graphics to run the game with no modifications to the

00:06:26.819 --> 00:06:33.720
notepad exe file and he even plans to release it to the public soon why

00:06:34.740 --> 00:06:39.600
see that's the attitude that ensures you'll never get Doom running on

00:06:37.979 --> 00:06:43.740
anything but I believe that you will come back for more Tech news on

00:06:41.100 --> 00:06:48.380
Wednesday maybe I'm a Fool maybe I'm a Phil Spencer I'm not okay
