1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,960
remember you're never alone even when you're in the tech techlink void that's

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,920
not the main set tech news is always there i don't know why that would make

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:14,880
you feel better tech news is not a person but sony has announced that close

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:19,279
to 450 movies and tv shows purchased by users through the playstation store in

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:23,119
germany and austria will no longer be available to play station the playing

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:29,519
will cease sony says that they were forced to make the decision due to evolving licensing

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:35,360
agreements with content providers which you know is super understandable

8
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:37,600
licenses are hard ever heard of the dmv

9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:41,280
oh last year sony announced that they would be discontinuing playstation

10
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:45,120
user's ability to buy and rent video content but at that time it was

11
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:49,600
understood that previously purchased content would still be available the

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:54,480
problem here is with that word purchased you see services use words

13
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:57,760
like that which make it seem like you're actually buying digital content but most

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,520
of the time you're actually just agreeing to lease it for as long as the

15
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:05,680
service makes it available or as long as they want to make it available to you

16
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:10,080
which they could stop doing at any time like ubisoft who also cut off access to

17
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:14,159
some games dlc this week so most of the time you don't actually own the digital

18
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:19,280
things you buy and in fact you may not own anything at all if we're living in a

19
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:23,200
simulation and so think about that yeah the company formerly known as facebook

20
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:28,560
will finally allow users of its meta quest vr headsets to log in without a

21
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:33,280
facebook account so you can finally disconnect from probably the worst

22
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:37,119
social media platform but who's it's not a competition when the change rolls out

23
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:41,680
in august all you'll need to use your headset is a meta account

24
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:46,960
wait what meta says the new account's only purpose

25
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:51,040
will be to store your quest profile information and connect with other quest

26
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:55,040
users and while that's marginally better than the facebook account requirement

27
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:59,360
which led to intense user backlash technical issues and bricked headsets

28
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:04,320
it's still a reminder that you are using a product made by the lizard people

29
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:08,160
company tm but hey if you've accepted them as your new overlords the quest pro

30
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:12,800
is reportedly coming soon and could cost around a thousand bucks that'll really

31
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:17,920
show your dedication and shed a tear for the poor hoes are suffering up here in

32
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:22,480
canada because one of our big four isps rogers has been experiencing a

33
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:27,040
nationwide outage since early friday morning and it's still happening

34
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:30,560
it's been a real gong choi the cause of the outage has not yet been

35
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:35,040
identified but with everything from landlines to mobile phones to debit

36
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:38,480
machines being affected i'd wager this is probably something more dire than

37
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:43,599
some keener spilling is freezing on the cables for sure

38
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:48,480
in all seriousness this outage sucks more than the habs chances of winning

39
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,239
the stanley cup right oh yeah and

40
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:53,920
i don't watch hockey so i don't know if that's accurate but i think it is and

41
00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:59,519
travelers crossing the canadian border are being asked to submit extra forms

42
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,200
since the arrive can app is down anyways

43
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:04,319
hopefully the folks at rogers strap on their tooks grab some doofers timbits

44
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:08,319
and double doubles and just give her till she starts ripping again

45
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:12,480
now it's time for quick bits brought to you by manscaped and their ultra premium

53
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,599
longer news stories love each other very much

54
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:51,840
i like that one in response to a possible antitrust lawsuit from the u.s

55
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:56,239
justice department over google's ad business the tech giant has offered to

56
00:03:53,840 --> 00:04:01,760
spin off said business into its own company under google's parent company

57
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:06,959
alphabet see then instead of reporting directly to google the ad business would

58
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:09,360
report directly to alphabet whose ceo

59
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:13,439
sundar pichai is also the ceo of google

60
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,959
it's not clear whether anything would actually change but these are federal

61
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:24,160
bureaucrats we're dealing with google may be able to confuse them with a flashy show of paperwork

62
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:28,080
now i'm over here what where'd they go ASUS may soon launch a new phone that

63
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:33,520
could appeal to Android fans looking longingly at owners of an iphone 13 mini

64
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:38,960
such as myself that's me a leaked promo video shows the 5.9 inch zenfone 9 with

65
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:43,040
20 22 flagship specs a headphone jack fancy modular accessories and even a

66
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:46,880
side mounted fingerprint reader you can use to scroll with instead of swiping

67
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,759
directly on the screen why do you why would you want that i don't know

68
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:54,720
hopefully this thing launches soon because what do i want a tv in my pocket

69
00:04:52,479 --> 00:04:58,400
phones should be cute damn it the early performance numbers for

70
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,919
Intel's art gaming gpus hasn't been great but maybe they'll stand a chance

71
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:06,400
when they show up in Intel's upcoming nuk x-15 bare-bones laptop kits

72
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:13,199
documents referencing the notebooks were leaked this week equipped with core i7

73
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:16,479
700h cpus and either an arc a550m or a

74
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:18,639
730m which would be Intel's mid and mid

75
00:05:16,479 --> 00:05:22,160
to upper tier models i mean apple's chips do really well in their apple made

76
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:26,080
laptops so i can only assume that the same rule applies and these nuts will

77
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:31,120
fix everything chinese manufacturer h3c has announced

78
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:36,960
what is supposedly the world's first wi-fi 7 router the problem is wi-fi 7

79
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:41,120
has not yet been certified by the wi-fi alliance so

80
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:47,600
it's not clear what exactly that means to be fair on paper the magic be 18000

81
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:52,080
appears to be capable of almost double the top speeds of wi-fi 6 equipped

82
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:56,000
routers but that's like me saying my car is a formula one because i strapped a

83
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:59,440
rocket to the back that doesn't really work it's not quite

84
00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:03,280
like that but the moral is don't strap a rocket to your car i say

85
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:08,080
this from experience and renewable energy is great but solar panels have

86
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:11,759
not been so great to recycle however according to a new analysis from

87
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:15,520
research firm reisted energy growth in the solar industry could soon lead to

88
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:20,319
billions of dollars worth of materials being mined from old panels which would

89
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:23,600
lead to less waste and better supply of new panels so don't worry environment

90
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:28,800
see we're saving you we're doing it

91
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:33,280
and save your appetite for tech news because we'll be back on monday with

92
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,479
more there's always more tech news

93
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:37,479
it's everywhere it's like i can't breathe
