00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.000
it's about time for some tech news so it's a good thing that lastpass

00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:10.800
sponsored this episode otherwise it might never have been tech news time at

00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:15.200
all thanks lastpass love you what i don't love is the fact that the european

00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:18.800
parliament just passed their copyright directive legislation the directive has

00:00:17.279 --> 00:00:23.680
been argued about for more than two years with two specific clauses article

00:00:21.119 --> 00:00:28.720
11 and 17 singled out for their potentially disastrous effect on the

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:33.040
open internet article 11 requires platforms to pay for the privilege of

00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:37.920
posting snippets from and links to publishers content so it's known as the

00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:41.920
link tax the updated law allows short extracts of news articles to be shared

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:46.719
freely but anything beyond a certain limit will be taxed article 13

00:00:44.559 --> 00:00:50.800
which has been renamed to article 17 in the current legislation requires users

00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:54.719
to get licenses for using copyrighted content like photos or videos before

00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:58.960
uploading it to web platforms like youtube facebook or instagram those

00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:03.520
platforms would then be responsible for scanning and blocking all content

00:01:00.879 --> 00:01:07.360
containing copyrighted stuff in it and they'd be liable and would have to pay

00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:12.000
fines for any copyright infringement present on their platform that kind of

00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:15.760
sucks for both creators and the big guys like google and facebook now the

00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:19.840
internet apocalypse hasn't struck in full yet member states of the european

00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:23.520
union now have two years to enact laws enforcing the new directive in

00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:26.880
individual countries and there are some parts of the directive that might

00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:31.200
improve free expression and better compensate creators for their work in

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:35.439
some places but a lot of people still think this legislation is not acceptable

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:39.439
in its current form although memes and gifs are exempt from

00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:42.079
enforcement so techlinked may die

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:47.680
but the memes will live on

00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:49.439
post some memes for me

00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:52.960
huawei is kind of a meme at this point but that's not stopping them from

00:01:50.720 --> 00:01:56.960
innovating in phone technology it's been leaked like crazy already but yesterday

00:01:54.720 --> 00:02:01.360
the company officially unveiled the p30 and p30 pro the front has an in-display

00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:04.960
fingerprint reader and a teardrop notch so no hole punch or pop-up selfie

00:02:03.119 --> 00:02:09.840
cameras here and it's also got a vibrating screen sort of like lg's

00:02:07.119 --> 00:02:13.760
recent phones but the p30 pro's focus is definitely on photography with three

00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:18.879
rear cameras one of which is capable of five times optical zoom thanks to an

00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:22.080
embedded periscope style zoom lens oppo has been working on a system like this

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:26.160
but the p30 pro appears to be the first such design to make it to market they're

00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:29.440
also making smart glasses which actually look like they might be stylish and

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:33.280
useful it's so much easier to be suspicious and

00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:37.840
avoid huawei devices when their phones aren't actually good stop it huawei ah

00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:42.000
come on and sony tried their hand at a nintendo

00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:46.720
direct style presentation on monday with the company's first state of play event

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:51.040
unfortunately there wasn't much in the way of video game meat to speak of we

00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:55.760
got a celebration of the fact that sony has sold 4.2 million playstation vr

00:02:53.680 --> 00:03:00.640
headsets in the three years since launch and accordingly sony is bringing 25 new

00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:06.000
vr titles to ps4 in the next few months including the story driven action game

00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:08.159
blood and truth an iron man vr game and

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:11.360
vr versions of five nights at freddy's and no man's sky we got some trailers

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:16.239
for other games as well but what we didn't get was teases for new hardware

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:19.200
we basically know the next five xboxes that are coming out what's going on

00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:23.040
behind the scenes sony i guess you don't need to leak details when you already

00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:28.720
cornered the high-end console market got em now it's time for quick bits brought to

00:03:25.519 --> 00:03:30.879

00:04:03.760 --> 00:04:10.159
onto the quick bits the huawei p30 pro may have a camera with five times

00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:12.720
optical zoom but oppo is hot on their heels with the

00:04:11.519 --> 00:04:17.440
reno renault which will apparently have a 10

00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:21.600
times optical zoom if a leaked video is any indication i can't help but feel

00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:25.680
we're losing the appreciation for super zoomed in memes that lose all clarity i

00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:31.040
want to zoom in on someone's face and see a blurry mess not high resolution

00:04:28.080 --> 00:04:36.400
acne stop it dennis stop zooming in what what stop the eternal battle between

00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:39.919
apple and qualcomm continues as

00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:43.440
eternal battles do in one court case a judge ruled in apple's favor saying that

00:04:41.919 --> 00:04:47.520
the company did not infringe on a qualcomm patent for a battery saving

00:04:45.440 --> 00:04:51.759
feature in another case a different judge ruled that apple did infringe on

00:04:49.520 --> 00:04:57.040
two other qualcomm patents and that ruling might lead to a u.s import ban on

00:04:54.320 --> 00:05:00.320
certain iphone models it just goes to show if you're gonna switch the company

00:04:58.880 --> 00:05:03.520
whose modems you're exclusively licensing make sure that you're not

00:05:01.919 --> 00:05:07.600
infringing on any patents before you make the switch a lesson i think we can

00:05:05.280 --> 00:05:11.600
all learn ASUS has released a fix for the shadowhammer backdoor vulnerability

00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:15.840
that it accidentally distributed through its pc update software the newest

00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:20.160
version of the live update app addresses the flaw so if you've got ASUS hardware

00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:23.840
make sure you're updated and then just do a clean install of Windows and then

00:05:22.479 --> 00:05:27.919
move to a cave in the mountains it's the only way to be safe steam has called for

00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:32.639
some reinforcements in its battle with the epic game store and bethesda has

00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:35.759
answered the developer has revealed that all of its currently announced and

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:41.039
upcoming games will be launching on steam as well as the bethesda launcher

00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:46.400
including rage 2 wolfenstein youngblood and cyberpilot and do maternal

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:50.800
okay bethesda probably also needs some help after the fallout 76 debacle but

00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:55.759
i'm sure steam appreciates it all the same and xiaomi has demonstrated a 100

00:05:53.759 --> 00:06:02.720
watt charger that managed to completely fuel up a 4 000 milliamp hour battery in

00:05:58.400 --> 00:06:05.520
just 17 minutes without exploding dang

00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:10.319
lil rice ain't so little anymore cause little cause xiaomi

00:06:07.840 --> 00:06:14.000
xiaomi means little rice excuse me for rice
