00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.960
remember you're never alone even when you're in the tech techlink void that's

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

00:00:08.559 --> 00:00:14.880
you feel better tech news is not a person but sony has announced that close

00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:19.279
to 450 movies and tv shows purchased by users through the playstation store in

00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:23.119
germany and austria will no longer be available to play station the playing

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:29.519
will cease sony says that they were forced to make the decision due to evolving licensing

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:35.360
agreements with content providers which you know is super understandable

00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:37.600
licenses are hard ever heard of the dmv

00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:41.280
oh last year sony announced that they would be discontinuing playstation

00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:45.120
user's ability to buy and rent video content but at that time it was

00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:49.600
understood that previously purchased content would still be available the

00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:54.480
problem here is with that word purchased you see services use words

00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:57.760
like that which make it seem like you're actually buying digital content but most

00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:01.520
of the time you're actually just agreeing to lease it for as long as the

00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:05.680
service makes it available or as long as they want to make it available to you

00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:10.080
which they could stop doing at any time like ubisoft who also cut off access to

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

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

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:23.200
simulation and so think about that yeah the company formerly known as facebook

00:01:21.119 --> 00:01:28.560
will finally allow users of its meta quest vr headsets to log in without a

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:33.280
facebook account so you can finally disconnect from probably the worst

00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:37.119
social media platform but who's it's not a competition when the change rolls out

00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:41.680
in august all you'll need to use your headset is a meta account

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:46.960
wait what meta says the new account's only purpose

00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:51.040
will be to store your quest profile information and connect with other quest

00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:55.040
users and while that's marginally better than the facebook account requirement

00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:59.360
which led to intense user backlash technical issues and bricked headsets

00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:04.320
it's still a reminder that you are using a product made by the lizard people

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:08.160
company tm but hey if you've accepted them as your new overlords the quest pro

00:02:06.320 --> 00:02:12.800
is reportedly coming soon and could cost around a thousand bucks that'll really

00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:17.920
show your dedication and shed a tear for the poor hoes are suffering up here in

00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:22.480
canada because one of our big four isps rogers has been experiencing a

00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:27.040
nationwide outage since early friday morning and it's still happening

00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:30.560
it's been a real gong choi the cause of the outage has not yet been

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:35.040
identified but with everything from landlines to mobile phones to debit

00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:38.480
machines being affected i'd wager this is probably something more dire than

00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:43.599
some keener spilling is freezing on the cables for sure

00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:48.480
in all seriousness this outage sucks more than the habs chances of winning

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:50.239
the stanley cup right oh yeah and

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

00:02:52.239 --> 00:02:59.519
travelers crossing the canadian border are being asked to submit extra forms

00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:01.200
since the arrive can app is down anyways

00:02:59.519 --> 00:03:04.319
hopefully the folks at rogers strap on their tooks grab some doofers timbits

00:03:03.040 --> 00:03:08.319
and double doubles and just give her till she starts ripping again

00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:12.480
now it's time for quick bits brought to you by manscaped and their ultra premium

longer news stories love each other very much

00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:51.840
i like that one in response to a possible antitrust lawsuit from the u.s

00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:56.239
justice department over google's ad business the tech giant has offered to

00:03:53.840 --> 00:04:01.760
spin off said business into its own company under google's parent company

00:03:59.040 --> 00:04:06.959
alphabet see then instead of reporting directly to google the ad business would

00:04:03.920 --> 00:04:09.360
report directly to alphabet whose ceo

00:04:06.959 --> 00:04:13.439
sundar pichai is also the ceo of google

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:16.959
it's not clear whether anything would actually change but these are federal

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

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

00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:33.520
could appeal to Android fans looking longingly at owners of an iphone 13 mini

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

00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:43.040
20 22 flagship specs a headphone jack fancy modular accessories and even a

00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:46.880
side mounted fingerprint reader you can use to scroll with instead of swiping

00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:49.759
directly on the screen why do you why would you want that i don't know

00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:54.720
hopefully this thing launches soon because what do i want a tv in my pocket

00:04:52.479 --> 00:04:58.400
phones should be cute damn it the early performance numbers for

00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:01.919
Intel's art gaming gpus hasn't been great but maybe they'll stand a chance

00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:06.400
when they show up in Intel's upcoming nuk x-15 bare-bones laptop kits

00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:13.199
documents referencing the notebooks were leaked this week equipped with core i7

00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:16.479
700h cpus and either an arc a550m or a

00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:18.639
730m which would be Intel's mid and mid

00:05:16.479 --> 00:05:22.160
to upper tier models i mean apple's chips do really well in their apple made

00:05:20.320 --> 00:05:26.080
laptops so i can only assume that the same rule applies and these nuts will

00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:31.120
fix everything chinese manufacturer h3c has announced

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

00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:41.120
has not yet been certified by the wi-fi alliance so

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

00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:52.080
appears to be capable of almost double the top speeds of wi-fi 6 equipped

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

00:05:53.840 --> 00:05:59.440
rocket to the back that doesn't really work it's not quite

00:05:57.280 --> 00:06:03.280
like that but the moral is don't strap a rocket to your car i say

00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:08.080
this from experience and renewable energy is great but solar panels have

00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:11.759
not been so great to recycle however according to a new analysis from

00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:15.520
research firm reisted energy growth in the solar industry could soon lead to

00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:20.319
billions of dollars worth of materials being mined from old panels which would

00:06:17.919 --> 00:06:23.600
lead to less waste and better supply of new panels so don't worry environment

00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:28.800
see we're saving you we're doing it

00:06:26.960 --> 00:06:33.280
and save your appetite for tech news because we'll be back on monday with

00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:34.479
more there's always more tech news

00:06:33.280 --> 00:06:37.479
