00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:08,160
you came back i never thought i'd see you again get it together james

00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:13,040
apple mostly won its big legal fight with epic games over the iOS app store

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:17,440
but the judge did order apple to allow app developers to include buttons or

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:22,080
links to third-party payment options by december 9th

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:26,640
it's we're not there yet apple requested a stay on that order but yesterday it

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:32,320
was denied by judge Yvonne gonzalez rogers known in the biz as gonzo because

7
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:36,239
she does not care about your feelings apple is going to appeal this decision

8
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:40,480
because lawyers need to eat but also because they claim it's going to take

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,200
months to figure out how to roll out the change

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:49,440
i mean i believe it would take apple months there apparently have to be guardrails and guidelines to protect

11
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:52,399
children developers consumers and apple wait

12
00:00:50,239 --> 00:00:57,039
what are we talking about links a link to a website and an app apple you don't

13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:02,000
have to make them you just have to let the developers add them something apple

14
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:05,760
has already done for reader apps like netflix but who knows apple is

15
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,880
apparently looking into cryptocurrency so maybe their engineers are already

16
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:13,600
confused about why something that is so decentralized is so popular it's like

17
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:17,920
people don't want giant companies controlling what they're allowed to do

18
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:22,240
so weird how do they decide how to act apple did make sort of a good guy move

19
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,680
this week though it announced an upcoming software update that would

20
00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:31,439
allow third party repair shops to replace the iphone 13 screen without

21
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:34,880
breaking face id ifixit pointed out last week that the only way to do this

22
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:38,960
currently is to remove a tiny microcontroller from the old screen and

23
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:42,079
solder it on the new screen which is incredibly difficult and requires

24
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:46,079
special equipment but that's because iphones are special

25
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:50,079
why didn't you get this meanwhile at the genius bar

26
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:54,720
they had a simple software tool that will keep face id working no problem

27
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:58,560
apple hasn't said when the update will arrive but if you don't want to wait you

28
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:03,840
can just sign your small business up for the apple business essentials subscription which will give you access

29
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:08,640
to signature apple brand it management and on-site repairs so exciting a

30
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:14,640
real-life apple genius coming to my office what do i offer them wine

31
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:18,640
a family heirloom a kiss google cares about small businesses too which is why

32
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:23,040
they're warning them about a potential legislation that could hurt those small

33
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:27,280
businesses bottom line business owners have gotten emails from google alerting

34
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:32,000
them to the dangers of the of of the ending platform monopolies act

35
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,160
a proposed bill that would ban google and other platforms from favoring their

36
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:40,000
own services such a change could make it harder to find your business online

37
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:43,760
costing you time and money according to google sure it seems desperate but big

38
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:48,879
tech companies are under more of a threat from proposed regulation than ever like the filter bubble transparency

39
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:53,920
act which would force companies like facebook to provide users with an option

40
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:57,840
to opt out of algorithmic content feeds i mean it's gotta be stronger than that

41
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:02,080
imo google themselves just got slapped with a 2.4 billion euro antitrust fine

42
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:06,720
over favoring google shopping results in search although they may still appeal

43
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:10,959
that but until then they're appealing a different kind of appealing to small

44
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:15,120
businesses fear of being buried on page two of the search results or if you're

45
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:18,640
on a phone scrolling really far a fate worse than death now it's time for the

christmas dude of course the global supply chain issues currently ravaging

57

00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:15,280
the fifth horseman chip shortage in their blog post valve said they're

59
00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:18,000
sorry which is kind of like apologizing for being late to a meeting because you

60
00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:22,479
were attacked by a team of super villains it's not your fault all the

61
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:26,800
time you know understandable just make the steam deck good because i need a

62
00:04:24,479 --> 00:04:30,320
good portable console to emulate n64 games on gotham

63
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:34,960
youtube is currently rolling out a change that removes the publicly visible

64
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,840
dislike counter from all youtube videos including this one in the future the

65
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:41,520
company says their research showed that this measure reduces the likelihood

66
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:44,479
users will target a video's dislike button to drive up the account or drive

67
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:49,280
down the drive up the dislock which will

68
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:54,320
hopefully ensure no creator ever has to endure public criticism ever again also

69
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:57,759
creators can still see their own videos dislike counts in the youtube studio

70
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:01,040
quantifying hate will soon be a privilege you guys better dislike this

71
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:05,520
video while you can still feel like you're part of something rude microsoft

72
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:08,800
has announced the surface laptop se designed specifically for schools and

73
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:13,759
students who will be the only entities actually allowed to buy one it starts at

74
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:18,160
a cool 250 bucks has some decent i o and honestly reminds us of those old plastic

75
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:22,800
macbooks the surface laptop se will be running Windows 11 se which is optimized

76
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:26,800
for low end hardware is easy easy to set up and manage and has the microsoft

77
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:30,639
store disabled and it also limits Windows snapping to only two apps at

78
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:34,800
once think of it this way kids it's like holding two phones at once huh

79
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:38,080
why why would you want three that's silly

80
00:05:35,919 --> 00:05:41,600
one tick one talk reports have been flooding in for weeks now that the

81
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:44,800
oneplus nord 2 is exploding causing damage to clothing and the people

82
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:48,240
wearing their clothing holding the phones oneplus says the incidents are

83
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:51,840
isolated cases but they're collecting details to investigate further because

84
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:56,800
you wouldn't want to initiate a recall until you're super sure it's necessary

85
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,320
better let a couple more pop off first

86
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,160
you wouldn't though i would and nasa has announced it's

87
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:06,240
delaying its moon landing mission from 2024 to 2025

88
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:10,560
not because of any technical reason but because blue origin the rocket company

89
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:14,960
owned by jeff bezos sued nasa for giving a contract to spacex instead of

90
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:18,160
themselves uh and the ensuing litigation took up seven months of nasa's time

91
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,759
thanks thanks thanks

92
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:26,960
i'm going to make a rocket company so i can advance humanity wait a second i'm going to stifle humanity instead

93
00:06:27,919 --> 00:06:34,160
while blue origin has lost the suit they did succeed in annoying everyone

94
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:40,880
involved but any publicity is good publicity especially in space

95
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:45,280
