1
00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:04,740
well have I got some tech news for you

2
00:00:03,060 --> 00:00:08,580
did you notice I said whale there instead of well because of the whale

3
00:00:07,020 --> 00:00:12,960
land party that's happening next weekend and for which Ticket No No cryptos but

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:18,180
tickets are available now you should buy them and don't don't buy that other thing China's efforts to establish its

5
00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:22,920
own chip making capability seem to have paid off as the country's semiconductor

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:28,140
manufacturing International Corp or smic has reportedly shipped its minor VA

7
00:00:25,260 --> 00:00:32,040
Bitcoin miner system on chip using seven nanometer technology it was thought that

8
00:00:30,060 --> 00:00:35,760
smic was still developing its 14 nanometer Tech in an attempt to

9
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:39,500
challenge Intel's world record for longest amount of time stuck on the same

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:44,040
process that's true it's still 14 nanometer but

11
00:00:42,420 --> 00:00:48,660
no turns out they've either gotten a hold of equipment that can make seven nanometer chips in spite of U.S

12
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:52,980
sanctions barring the sale of Chip making Tech based on 10 nanometer or

13
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:57,360
Beyond or they've developed their own seven nanometer Tech skipping forward

14
00:00:55,020 --> 00:01:00,539
two generations in record time I mean is this really not surprising they can

15
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:05,159
build a hospital during a lunch break great job country of China now apply

16
00:01:03,420 --> 00:01:08,939
that same determination to Human Rights and that'll be real progress okay

17
00:01:07,020 --> 00:01:13,560
speaking of Rights how about the freedom to criticize a company for overpricing

18
00:01:10,979 --> 00:01:17,100
the hell out of their custom PCS Tech YouTuber Greg Salazar has brought

19
00:01:15,420 --> 00:01:21,960
attention to a scandal surrounding Overkill computers a system integrator

20
00:01:19,380 --> 00:01:26,520
that bullied and harassed tick-tocker circuit board for simply pointing out

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,479
just how overpriced overkills PCS were Overkill was selling builds for over a

22
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:33,840
thousand dollars more than the price of the components based on the PC part

23
00:01:31,979 --> 00:01:38,040
picker lists and after circuit board Drew attention to this Overkill sent him

24
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,840
a cease and desist demanding he take down every video and even every comment

25
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:46,979
referencing Overkill their reasoning according to overkill's owner Lucas is

26
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,460
that some ex-employees reached out to circuit board to talk about the company

27
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:58,320
which apparently breached the employees ndas but as Greg points out ndas don't

28
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:00,299
apply to people who didn't sign the NDA

29
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:05,939
and pointing to two different prices and saying this one is too much is it

30
00:02:02,820 --> 00:02:07,979
defamation I'm not a lawyer but right I

31
00:02:05,939 --> 00:02:11,760
think it sounds good anyways with artesian and now Overkill I guess system

32
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,660
integrators acting scummy and then imploding on social media is going to be

33
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:21,420
the hottest trend of the rest of 2022 other than the debilitating heat waves

34
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:23,580
and Amazon has paid 3.9 billion to

35
00:02:21,420 --> 00:02:27,959
acquire one medical a company that operates more than 180 medical clinics

36
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:32,580
across the U.S in the tech Giant's latest move to unironically become a

37
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:36,300
real-life cyberpunk corpo pseudo State your Amazon Prime subscription could

38
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:41,220
soon come with free shipping cloud storage and yearly physicals the catch

39
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:45,959
you have to do them in Amazon's mental health booths get in there while one

40
00:02:43,860 --> 00:02:49,860
medical provided a range of much needed Telehealth Services during the pandemic

41
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:54,900
they were also investigated by Congress for leveraging its supply of vaccines to

42
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:59,160
push 200 membership subscriptions while hoarding vaccines for staff friends and

43
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,819
family causing some counties to stop allocating vaccines to the company I'm

44
00:03:00,959 --> 00:03:06,180
sure being acquired by Amazon a corporation known for its respective

45
00:03:04,260 --> 00:03:10,019
employees and customers will straighten one medical right out they're tough but

46
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:13,680
fair now it's time for quick bits brought to you by PDF element the app

47
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,120
that makes converting editing and signing PDFs super simple and that's not

48
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:23,280
even all it can do this thing is like a pedia F Swiss army knife PDF element can

49
00:03:20,940 --> 00:03:26,519
recognize text inside images using their optical character recognition engine

50
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:30,959
lets you add notes and annotations easily create fillable PDF forms to

51
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:35,280
collect analysis ready data from your clients and you can protect everything

52
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:40,319
with a password or redact sensitive info the 9.0 update just launched with a new

53
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:45,000
UI and editing refinements so to get 60 off click the link below part of your

00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:49,319
Tech click subscription which is also free we are so great while much of the

55
00:03:47,519 --> 00:03:53,879
gaming industry tries desperately to read the room regarding nfts do we like

56
00:03:51,420 --> 00:03:58,140
them are they the worst Microsoft owned Minecraft developer Mojang has come out

57
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:02,060
in opposition saying nft integration with the game will not be supported or

58
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:06,720
allowed asked if the news swayed his opinion on

59
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:10,500
nfts Tim Sweeney said the epic game store will leave the choice of whether

60
00:04:08,220 --> 00:04:14,099
to mess with nfts or not to game developers and players which makes sense

61
00:04:12,659 --> 00:04:17,940
if you're all about open platforms like Sweeney is but one does wonder whether

62
00:04:16,620 --> 00:04:23,100
certain communities who keep getting hacked rug pulled needs some kind of

63
00:04:20,820 --> 00:04:26,759
protection meta is being sued by the second company that is also named Meta

64
00:04:25,139 --> 00:04:32,580
for changing their name from Facebook to meta VR company meta X LLC has been

65
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,300
known as meta since 2010 and filed the lawsuit after talks with Facebook over

66
00:04:34,259 --> 00:04:40,979
the name change broke down another company called meta company also took

67
00:04:38,940 --> 00:04:43,979
issue with meta's transformation last year it's all confusing enough even if

68
00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:49,740
you don't mention the fact that discussing the fact that meta's name changes causing problems with other

69
00:04:46,860 --> 00:04:53,940
metas is pretty meta in itself I just liked that Neopets is still around for

70
00:04:52,259 --> 00:04:58,080
the sole purpose of serving older internet users Nostalgia as well as

71
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:03,960
being a target for hackers who managed to compromise 69 million accounts this

72
00:05:00,540 --> 00:05:06,000
week not nice at all the hackers tried

73
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:10,500
to sell the site's complete database and source code including emails passwords

74
00:05:07,979 --> 00:05:15,540
and other personal info for four Bitcoin or around a hundred thousand USD so

75
00:05:13,620 --> 00:05:18,960
Neopets users may want to look out for identity theft change their passwords

76
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,560
and maybe switch to to collecting Pokemon like a normal person Razer has

77
00:05:21,180 --> 00:05:26,400
launched the hyper polling wireless dongle for its gaming mice which

78
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:32,639
promises to supercharge the polling rate of the Viper V2 Pro Death Adder V3 Pro

79
00:05:29,340 --> 00:05:36,300
or basilisk V3 Pro from a thousand Hertz

80
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:38,460
to four four thousand Hertz wow the

81
00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:41,280
dongle is 30 bucks which doesn't seem like too much at all when you compare it

82
00:05:39,780 --> 00:05:44,699
to the happiness you'll receive from all the online gaming matches that you shall

83
00:05:43,020 --> 00:05:48,419
surely win once you have the hyper polling wireless dongle and a video

84
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:54,419
showing a robot heavily resembling Boston Dynamic spot firing a submachine

85
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:58,139
gun at Targets has made the rounds this week I didn't realize that was a pun

86
00:05:56,100 --> 00:06:02,280
when I wrote that it's unclear whether the bot is acting autonomously or being

87
00:06:00,060 --> 00:06:05,639
directly controlled but regardless the demonstration serves to remind us that

88
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:10,380
we now live in a world in which possibly evil robot dogs with guns exist and the

89
00:06:08,460 --> 00:06:15,360
only way to stop them is to make our own good robot dogs with guns let's get that

90
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:19,620
going and let's get the weekend going am I right here the freaking week

91
00:06:17,940 --> 00:06:22,620
come back on Monday for more Tech news I'm going to be on vacation for two

92
00:06:21,180 --> 00:06:25,280
weeks but James is going to take real good care of you guys
