WEBVTT 00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:06.160 Hey yo, Riley, give me some tech news. >> Ah, you hear the news about Na. 00:00:05.359 --> 00:00:11.519 >> What's Na? >> Na business scram. All right, I think 00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:16.000 he's gone. Hey, want some tech news? Some Windows 11 users have reported a 00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:20.960 weird new bug introduced by a recent preview build that appeared to make the 00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:25.359 password signin option vanish. But don't worry, you can actually bring up the 00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:30.240 password box and can log in normally using Microsoft's recommended fix. Just 00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:35.040 hover your mouse over where the icon should be and think happy thoughts 00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:38.480 because it's invisible but still clickable. I think Microsoft's just 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:43.440 trying to make Windows 11 more appealing by gamifying the login screen. Where is 00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:47.920 it? One thing that's not making Windows 11 more appealing is its recent update 00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:52.399 to File Explorer, which preloads in the background to improve its speed and 00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:56.800 performance. Now, that sounds nice. But while File Explorer is reportedly 00:00:54.320 --> 00:01:01.760 running faster than it was before, it's actually still running slower than it 00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:06.080 did in Windows 10 and using almost twice as much RAM as it did before the update. 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:09.760 We're in the holiday season now, and it looks like Microsoft wants Windows 11 to 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:14.320 be the gift that keeps on giving. Unfortunately, they think we all want 00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:18.159 bugs in our stockings. What? Who are we? Timone and Pumba over 00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:21.920 here. Come on, >> HAKUNA. 00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:26.320 I SAID SCRAM. >> SORRY. >> Amazon and Google just teamed up to 00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:32.079 launch a new service that makes it way easier for companies who use both Amazon 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:34.320 Web Services and Google Cloud to connect 00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:37.360 them as if they're on the same network. Previously, companies had to spend 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:41.280 thousands of dollars jumping through hoops to achieve redundancy between 00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:45.280 systems. And and this is why this is important. Considering how often cloud 00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:50.079 infrastructure seems to be breaking these days, having an easy way to switch 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:55.040 to backup systems would be grand if we're all a little sick of having the 00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:58.079 entire internet break every few weeks. 00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:01.119 >> I don't mind it. You know, take a break. 00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:03.360 >> It's not that bad. Get outside. Oh, 00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:08.479 that's what a real cloud is. All right. Stupid. The system combines AWS's 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:10.800 interconnect multicloud with Google's crosscloud interconnect, 00:02:10.239 --> 00:02:16.560 >> of course, >> and introduces a new open standard that other cloud providers can use, too. 00:02:14.931 --> 00:02:20.000 [music] Everything is encrypted by default, built with four layers of 00:02:18.239 --> 00:02:25.520 backup, and will be monitored constantly by eagle-eyed IT techs who have sworn an 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:30.000 oath to keep Twitter operational. They may not agree with you, but they will 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:35.040 fight for your right to post every one of your deranged inner thoughts. OpenAI 00:02:32.640 --> 00:02:38.560 appears to be testing ads inside chat GPT conversations because the company is 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:44.000 going to have to make some cash eventually if we all want chatbots to 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:46.400 continue glazing our every deranged 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:51.599 inner thought. Software developer T-bore Blah dug into the latest Android beta 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:56.319 and found explicit references to what is clearly some kind of ads feature, 00:02:54.000 --> 00:03:01.599 including strings for a search ads carousel and bizarre content. To be 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:05.360 clear, bazaar as in marketplace, although there's plenty of bizarre AI 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:10.080 slop out there. You know what I mean? This would make ChatGpt the first major 00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:14.080 generalized chatbot to directly integrate ads, although Google added 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:18.640 sponsored results as part of its AI search tools this year. And Amazon's 00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:22.560 Rufus shopping assistant chatbot is basically just one big ad. If AI 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:26.720 companies are going to keep this bubble bubbling though, they need to monetize. 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:31.280 Even if AI is still about as reliable as a McDonald's ice cream machine. A recent 00:03:28.959 --> 00:03:35.680 study found that nearly 21% of peer reviews submitted to an AI research 00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:40.319 publication conference were likely AI generated. Meaning hallucinationprone 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:46.720 chat bots are evaluating how badly other chat bots hallucinate. Seems reasonable. 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:49.200 Whoa. Is it just me or can also all you 00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:53.440 guys also see our sponsor right there? You green NAS your best backup solution. 00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:57.360 You know, sometimes in life it can feel like you ain't got no backup. Well, 00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:01.280 trust me, brother, with a UG Green Nast, you're going to have all the backup you 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:07.040 need. Cloud storage, it's soft, ephemeral. What even is it? 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:10.799 UG Green NAS works like the cloud, but safely stores all your data locally in 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:16.479 your own hard drives. It's cost-effective and private. UG Green's 00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:18.400 new NASSYNC DH2300 supports up to 60 00:04:16.479 --> 00:04:22.079 terabytes and is compatible with a wide variety of thirdparty drives. When 00:04:20.239 --> 00:04:26.800 you've got that much backup, you'll never feel lonely again. This NASA is 00:04:24.880 --> 00:04:30.160 easy to set up with a step-by-step guide for getting it started in just 10 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:34.479 minutes. Plus, it's got a 1 gigabit network port, supports various RAID 00:04:31.919 --> 00:04:38.800 configurations, and multi-user sharing so you can share files with your human 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:43.680 backup.

GET OUT OF HERE. WHAT DO I tell you? 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:38.160 Like, I'm going to tell that guy about the quick bits. I'll tell you, though. 00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:40.560 IO has exposed its beefy next to 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:46.320 handheld PC, and it's chunky. The Windows-based gaming handheld has a 9 in 00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:50.080 OLED display, an AMD Ryzen AI Max Plus 00:05:46.320 --> 00:05:53.360 395 chip, aka Stricks Halo, a big old 00:05:50.080 --> 00:05:54.800 115Wh battery, and Hall joysticks and 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:59.919 linear triggers to go with the touchpads, too. The X2 looks like a top 00:05:57.840 --> 00:06:04.400 tier portable gaming device meant to run AAA PC games, but given its size and 00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:10.479 power, don't expect it to be light or tiny. Instead, chunky. With the GDP Win 00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:13.759 5 and its Buxom removable high-capacity 00:06:10.479 --> 00:06:15.680 battery preceding the Iono's new large 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:20.160 and inch charge flagship, it appears we're entering the handheld market's 00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:24.880 Gears of War era. Things are getting chunky. Girl, you're thicker than a bowl 00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:30.720 of oatmeal. AMD appears to have accidentally confirmed the existence of 00:06:27.440 --> 00:06:32.639 the Ryzen 7 9850X3D. 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:37.759 The unannounced chip was first spotted on a since removed AMD support page, but 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:42.240 AMD didn't act quickly enough to stop folks from learning that it's basically 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:48.960 the same 8 core 16thread chip as the 9800 X3D, but with a bump in boost 00:06:44.880 --> 00:06:50.880 clocks up to 5.6 GHz. Watch out PC part 00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:56.000 picker, there's a new default recommended high-end gaming CPU on the 00:06:52.880 --> 00:06:58.000 block, and it doesn't take no I like 00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:02.400 that AMD is acting like someone who got caught buying a present for someone 00:06:59.599 --> 00:07:07.280 else. Oh, funny running into you at the mall. Me? I'm just here for a walk. Got 00:07:04.960 --> 00:07:12.080 to get my steps in that bag. Uh, what bag? Oh, DON'T LOOK AT THAT BAG. AH, 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:16.960 there's no unannounced CPU for you in there. IT DOESN'T EXIST. THIS JOKE NEEDS 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:22.800 WORK. Netflix has quietly killed the ability to cast from phones to newer 00:07:19.919 --> 00:07:28.080 chcasts, Google TV streamers, and most Android TV sets. For some reason, the 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:32.400 company updated its help page saying you now have to use the actual Netflix app 00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:37.280 on those affected devices because apparently having a remote means you 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:41.840 aren't allowed to cast. You should have thought of that before you bought a 00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:46.240 remote device. At least the feature still works on older chcast devices, 00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:49.680 right? We said that like as a question, but I think it's true. For everyone else 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:53.680 though, they now get rewarded with a nice completely useless button on their 00:07:51.919 --> 00:07:58.400 screen. This is the future. Get used to it. The government of India has ordered 00:07:55.919 --> 00:08:03.759 all smartphone makers, including Apple, to ship phones sold over there with a 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:08.960 state-owned security app called Sanchar Sati pre-installed, and users won't be 00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:14.160 allowed to delete or disable it. The government says the app helps catch 00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:16.000 stolen phones, block scam related IMEI 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:20.000 spoofing, and spot fraudulent connections, but critics worry this 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:24.319 could undercut user privacy and consent. Remember how pissed people were when the 00:08:21.919 --> 00:08:27.759 iPhone 6 launched with a U2 album in everyone's iTunes automatically? Now 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:32.159 governments are forcing your phones to come with surveillance apps installed 00:08:29.840 --> 00:08:38.959 and nobody bats an eye. You too must really suck. And Japan's new 60 million 00:08:35.680 --> 00:08:41.680 yen mi human washing machine. A capsule 00:08:38.959 --> 00:08:46.480 that washes and dries you in 15 minutes using microbubbles and soothing music 00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:50.720 that does the cleaning, too. Sonic Blasting is officially heading to 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:56.560 commercial sale after going viral at the Osaka Kansai Expo. It'll be on display 00:08:54.080 --> 00:09:01.600 in Tokyo starting December 25th, Christmas. What a what a gift. With 00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:05.920 trial sessions available, though the exact trial date still isn't locked in, 00:09:04.160 --> 00:09:10.800 the machine is being developed by those silly guys over at the aptly named 00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:15.120 Science Incorporated, where shockingly they might actually do science. This 00:09:13.040 --> 00:09:19.760 thing, I mean, it seems legit. For now, a production will be limited to 40 to 50 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:23.360 units over the next six years. No one's going to get clean with a potential 00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:28.240 cheaper home model somewhere down the line. I can't wait for a machine that 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:30.800 can clean your body and your shame after 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:35.920 buying a $60 million yen bathtub. Apparently, that's $385,000. 00:09:33.839 --> 00:09:40.000 So, yeah, that's about shame ballpark. And you should go take a bath, you 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:44.399 stinker. But come back on Wednesday for more tech news. I'm going to go find 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:48.480 that guy who was pestering me all show and beat him up. Come here, you. 00:09:47.839 --> 00:09:52.560 >> No, >> I wouldn't do I wouldn't do that. >> This is grumpy Riley. This is New York 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:59.839 Riley. >> I couldn't. >> Well, 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:59.839 >> not on camera. All right.
