Hey yo, Riley, give me some tech news. >> Ah, you hear the news about Na.
>> What's Na? >> Na business scram. All right, I think
he's gone. Hey, want some tech news? Some Windows 11 users have reported a
weird new bug introduced by a recent preview build that appeared to make the
password signin option vanish. But don't worry, you can actually bring up the
password box and can log in normally using Microsoft's recommended fix. Just
hover your mouse over where the icon should be and think happy thoughts
because it's invisible but still clickable. I think Microsoft's just
trying to make Windows 11 more appealing by gamifying the login screen. Where is
it? One thing that's not making Windows 11 more appealing is its recent update
to File Explorer, which preloads in the background to improve its speed and
performance. Now, that sounds nice. But while File Explorer is reportedly
running faster than it was before, it's actually still running slower than it
did in Windows 10 and using almost twice as much RAM as it did before the update.
We're in the holiday season now, and it looks like Microsoft wants Windows 11 to
be the gift that keeps on giving. Unfortunately, they think we all want
bugs in our stockings. What? Who are we? Timone and Pumba over
here. Come on, >> HAKUNA.
I SAID SCRAM. >> SORRY. >> Amazon and Google just teamed up to
launch a new service that makes it way easier for companies who use both Amazon
Web Services and Google Cloud to connect
them as if they're on the same network. Previously, companies had to spend
thousands of dollars jumping through hoops to achieve redundancy between
systems. And and this is why this is important. Considering how often cloud
infrastructure seems to be breaking these days, having an easy way to switch
to backup systems would be grand if we're all a little sick of having the
entire internet break every few weeks.
>> I don't mind it. You know, take a break.
>> It's not that bad. Get outside. Oh,
that's what a real cloud is. All right. Stupid. The system combines AWS's
interconnect multicloud with Google's crosscloud interconnect,
>> of course, >> and introduces a new open standard that other cloud providers can use, too.
[music] Everything is encrypted by default, built with four layers of
backup, and will be monitored constantly by eagle-eyed IT techs who have sworn an
oath to keep Twitter operational. They may not agree with you, but they will
fight for your right to post every one of your deranged inner thoughts. OpenAI
appears to be testing ads inside chat GPT conversations because the company is
going to have to make some cash eventually if we all want chatbots to
continue glazing our every deranged
inner thought. Software developer T-bore Blah dug into the latest Android beta
and found explicit references to what is clearly some kind of ads feature,
including strings for a search ads carousel and bizarre content. To be
clear, bazaar as in marketplace, although there's plenty of bizarre AI
slop out there. You know what I mean? This would make ChatGpt the first major
generalized chatbot to directly integrate ads, although Google added
sponsored results as part of its AI search tools this year. And Amazon's
Rufus shopping assistant chatbot is basically just one big ad. If AI
companies are going to keep this bubble bubbling though, they need to monetize.
Even if AI is still about as reliable as a McDonald's ice cream machine. A recent
study found that nearly 21% of peer reviews submitted to an AI research
publication conference were likely AI generated. Meaning hallucinationprone
chat bots are evaluating how badly other chat bots hallucinate. Seems reasonable.
Whoa. Is it just me or can also all you
guys also see our sponsor right there? You green NAS your best backup solution.
You know, sometimes in life it can feel like you ain't got no backup. Well,

easy to set up with a step-by-step guide for getting it started in just 10
minutes. Plus, it's got a 1 gigabit network port, supports various RAID
configurations, and multi-user sharing so you can share files with your human
backup. Check it out at THE LINK BELOW. WELL, IT'S CYBER MONDAY on ltstore.com

Like, I'm going to tell that guy about the quick bits. I'll tell you, though.
IO has exposed its beefy next to
handheld PC, and it's chunky. The Windows-based gaming handheld has a 9 in
OLED display, an AMD Ryzen AI Max Plus
395 chip, aka Stricks Halo, a big old
115Wh battery, and Hall joysticks and
linear triggers to go with the touchpads, too. The X2 looks like a top
tier portable gaming device meant to run AAA PC games, but given its size and
power, don't expect it to be light or tiny. Instead, chunky. With the GDP Win
5 and its Buxom removable high-capacity
battery preceding the Iono's new large
and inch charge flagship, it appears we're entering the handheld market's
Gears of War era. Things are getting chunky. Girl, you're thicker than a bowl
of oatmeal. AMD appears to have accidentally confirmed the existence of
the Ryzen 7 9850X3D.
The unannounced chip was first spotted on a since removed AMD support page, but
AMD didn't act quickly enough to stop folks from learning that it's basically
the same 8 core 16thread chip as the 9800 X3D, but with a bump in boost
clocks up to 5.6 GHz. Watch out PC part
picker, there's a new default recommended high-end gaming CPU on the
block, and it doesn't take no I like
that AMD is acting like someone who got caught buying a present for someone
else. Oh, funny running into you at the mall. Me? I'm just here for a walk. Got
to get my steps in that bag. Uh, what bag? Oh, DON'T LOOK AT THAT BAG. AH,
there's no unannounced CPU for you in there. IT DOESN'T EXIST. THIS JOKE NEEDS
WORK. Netflix has quietly killed the ability to cast from phones to newer
chcasts, Google TV streamers, and most Android TV sets. For some reason, the
company updated its help page saying you now have to use the actual Netflix app
on those affected devices because apparently having a remote means you
aren't allowed to cast. You should have thought of that before you bought a
remote device. At least the feature still works on older chcast devices,
right? We said that like as a question, but I think it's true. For everyone else
though, they now get rewarded with a nice completely useless button on their
screen. This is the future. Get used to it. The government of India has ordered
all smartphone makers, including Apple, to ship phones sold over there with a
state-owned security app called Sanchar Sati pre-installed, and users won't be
allowed to delete or disable it. The government says the app helps catch
stolen phones, block scam related IMEI
spoofing, and spot fraudulent connections, but critics worry this
could undercut user privacy and consent. Remember how pissed people were when the
iPhone 6 launched with a U2 album in everyone's iTunes automatically? Now
governments are forcing your phones to come with surveillance apps installed
and nobody bats an eye. You too must really suck. And Japan's new 60 million
yen mi human washing machine. A capsule
that washes and dries you in 15 minutes using microbubbles and soothing music
that does the cleaning, too. Sonic Blasting is officially heading to
commercial sale after going viral at the Osaka Kansai Expo. It'll be on display
in Tokyo starting December 25th, Christmas. What a what a gift. With
trial sessions available, though the exact trial date still isn't locked in,
the machine is being developed by those silly guys over at the aptly named
Science Incorporated, where shockingly they might actually do science. This
thing, I mean, it seems legit. For now, a production will be limited to 40 to 50
units over the next six years. No one's going to get clean with a potential
cheaper home model somewhere down the line. I can't wait for a machine that
can clean your body and your shame after
buying a $60 million yen bathtub. Apparently, that's $385,000.
So, yeah, that's about shame ballpark. And you should go take a bath, you
stinker. But come back on Wednesday for more tech news. I'm going to go find
that guy who was pestering me all show and beat him up. Come here, you.
>> No, >> I wouldn't do I wouldn't do that. >> This is grumpy Riley. This is New York
Riley. >> I couldn't. >> Well,
>> not on camera. All right.
