00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:04.740
well have I got some tech news for you

00:00:03.060 --> 00:00:08.580
did you notice I said whale there instead of well because of the whale

00:00:07.020 --> 00:00:12.960
land party that's happening next weekend and for which Ticket No No cryptos but

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

00:00:16.500 --> 00:00:22.920
own chip making capability seem to have paid off as the country's semiconductor

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:28.140
manufacturing International Corp or smic has reportedly shipped its minor VA

00:00:25.260 --> 00:00:32.040
Bitcoin miner system on chip using seven nanometer technology it was thought that

00:00:30.060 --> 00:00:35.760
smic was still developing its 14 nanometer Tech in an attempt to

00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:39.500
challenge Intel's world record for longest amount of time stuck on the same

00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:44.040
process that's true it's still 14 nanometer but

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

00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:52.980
sanctions barring the sale of Chip making Tech based on 10 nanometer or

00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:57.360
Beyond or they've developed their own seven nanometer Tech skipping forward

00:00:55.020 --> 00:01:00.539
two generations in record time I mean is this really not surprising they can

00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:05.159
build a hospital during a lunch break great job country of China now apply

00:01:03.420 --> 00:01:08.939
that same determination to Human Rights and that'll be real progress okay

00:01:07.020 --> 00:01:13.560
speaking of Rights how about the freedom to criticize a company for overpricing

00:01:10.979 --> 00:01:17.100
the hell out of their custom PCS Tech YouTuber Greg Salazar has brought

00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:21.960
attention to a scandal surrounding Overkill computers a system integrator

00:01:19.380 --> 00:01:26.520
that bullied and harassed tick-tocker circuit board for simply pointing out

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:30.479
just how overpriced overkills PCS were Overkill was selling builds for over a

00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:33.840
thousand dollars more than the price of the components based on the PC part

00:01:31.979 --> 00:01:38.040
picker lists and after circuit board Drew attention to this Overkill sent him

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:42.840
a cease and desist demanding he take down every video and even every comment

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:46.979
referencing Overkill their reasoning according to overkill's owner Lucas is

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:50.460
that some ex-employees reached out to circuit board to talk about the company

00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:58.320
which apparently breached the employees ndas but as Greg points out ndas don't

00:01:54.720 --> 00:02:00.299
apply to people who didn't sign the NDA

00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:05.939
and pointing to two different prices and saying this one is too much is it

00:02:02.820 --> 00:02:07.979
defamation I'm not a lawyer but right I

00:02:05.939 --> 00:02:11.760
think it sounds good anyways with artesian and now Overkill I guess system

00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:15.660
integrators acting scummy and then imploding on social media is going to be

00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:21.420
the hottest trend of the rest of 2022 other than the debilitating heat waves

00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:23.580
and Amazon has paid 3.9 billion to

00:02:21.420 --> 00:02:27.959
acquire one medical a company that operates more than 180 medical clinics

00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:32.580
across the U.S in the tech Giant's latest move to unironically become a

00:02:30.300 --> 00:02:36.300
real-life cyberpunk corpo pseudo State your Amazon Prime subscription could

00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:41.220
soon come with free shipping cloud storage and yearly physicals the catch

00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:45.959
you have to do them in Amazon's mental health booths get in there while one

00:02:43.860 --> 00:02:49.860
medical provided a range of much needed Telehealth Services during the pandemic

00:02:47.700 --> 00:02:54.900
they were also investigated by Congress for leveraging its supply of vaccines to

00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:59.160
push 200 membership subscriptions while hoarding vaccines for staff friends and

00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:02.819
family causing some counties to stop allocating vaccines to the company I'm

00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:06.180
sure being acquired by Amazon a corporation known for its respective

00:03:04.260 --> 00:03:10.019
employees and customers will straighten one medical right out they're tough but

00:03:08.160 --> 00:03:13.680
fair now it's time for quick bits brought to you by PDF element the app

00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:18.120
that makes converting editing and signing PDFs super simple and that's not

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

00:03:20.940 --> 00:03:26.519
recognize text inside images using their optical character recognition engine

00:03:24.720 --> 00:03:30.959
lets you add notes and annotations easily create fillable PDF forms to

00:03:29.040 --> 00:03:35.280
collect analysis ready data from your clients and you can protect everything

00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:40.319
with a password or redact sensitive info the 9.0 update just launched with a new

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

00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:53.879
gaming industry tries desperately to read the room regarding nfts do we like

00:03:51.420 --> 00:03:58.140
them are they the worst Microsoft owned Minecraft developer Mojang has come out

00:03:55.920 --> 00:04:02.060
in opposition saying nft integration with the game will not be supported or

00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:06.720
allowed asked if the news swayed his opinion on

00:04:04.440 --> 00:04:10.500
nfts Tim Sweeney said the epic game store will leave the choice of whether

00:04:08.220 --> 00:04:14.099
to mess with nfts or not to game developers and players which makes sense

00:04:12.659 --> 00:04:17.940
if you're all about open platforms like Sweeney is but one does wonder whether

00:04:16.620 --> 00:04:23.100
certain communities who keep getting hacked rug pulled needs some kind of

00:04:20.820 --> 00:04:26.759
protection meta is being sued by the second company that is also named Meta

00:04:25.139 --> 00:04:32.580
for changing their name from Facebook to meta VR company meta X LLC has been

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:36.300
known as meta since 2010 and filed the lawsuit after talks with Facebook over

00:04:34.259 --> 00:04:40.979
the name change broke down another company called meta company also took

00:04:38.940 --> 00:04:43.979
issue with meta's transformation last year it's all confusing enough even if

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

00:04:46.860 --> 00:04:53.940
metas is pretty meta in itself I just liked that Neopets is still around for

00:04:52.259 --> 00:04:58.080
the sole purpose of serving older internet users Nostalgia as well as

00:04:56.040 --> 00:05:03.960
being a target for hackers who managed to compromise 69 million accounts this

00:05:00.540 --> 00:05:06.000
week not nice at all the hackers tried

00:05:03.960 --> 00:05:10.500
to sell the site's complete database and source code including emails passwords

00:05:07.979 --> 00:05:15.540
and other personal info for four Bitcoin or around a hundred thousand USD so

00:05:13.620 --> 00:05:18.960
Neopets users may want to look out for identity theft change their passwords

00:05:17.400 --> 00:05:22.560
and maybe switch to to collecting Pokemon like a normal person Razer has

00:05:21.180 --> 00:05:26.400
launched the hyper polling wireless dongle for its gaming mice which

00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:32.639
promises to supercharge the polling rate of the Viper V2 Pro Death Adder V3 Pro

00:05:29.340 --> 00:05:36.300
or basilisk V3 Pro from a thousand Hertz

00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:38.460
to four four thousand Hertz wow the

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

00:05:39.780 --> 00:05:44.699
to the happiness you'll receive from all the online gaming matches that you shall

00:05:43.020 --> 00:05:48.419
surely win once you have the hyper polling wireless dongle and a video

00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:54.419
showing a robot heavily resembling Boston Dynamic spot firing a submachine

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

00:05:56.100 --> 00:06:02.280
when I wrote that it's unclear whether the bot is acting autonomously or being

00:06:00.060 --> 00:06:05.639
directly controlled but regardless the demonstration serves to remind us that

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

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

00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:19.620
going and let's get the weekend going am I right here the freaking week

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

00:06:21.180 --> 00:06:25.280
weeks but James is going to take real good care of you guys
