1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,600
when dealing with live tech news remember always wear protective

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:08,080
equipment we don't but we're professionals we're raw dog and life

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:13,280
baby it's dangerous microsoft has announced

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:15,440
that xbox series x slash s and xbox one

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:19,600
consoles now support voice chat integration with discord after the tech

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:24,880
giant failed to acquire the popular chat platform back in 2021 it was a swing and

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:28,960
a miss at a big net it doesn't always work there are some caveats though

8
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:32,719
discord voice chat is only available to xbox insiders so you'll have to be okay

9
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:37,840
with installing early versions of software which so far require you to go

10
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:42,239
through a complicated first time setup involving multiple discord session

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:45,280
handoffs between your phone and console things probably would have been smoother

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:49,120
if microsoft's acquisition went through but what should we just let them buy

13
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:52,879
anything if it'll run better this keeps all the laying people off the

14
00:00:50,879 --> 00:00:56,800
announcement makes xbox as the first consoles to support direct voice chat

15
00:00:55,039 --> 00:01:00,160
integration with discord even though they announced a partnership with sony

16
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:03,600
last year right after turning down microsoft's offer and said there would

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:09,439
be some kind of playstation integration in early 2022. oh i'd be mad but sony

18
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:12,960
keeps making awesome exclusive games and bringing them to pc so if that's what

19
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:16,640
they want to focus on i'm fine with that i also don't have a ps5 so

20
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:21,680
speaking of consoles you might want to check that yours isn't melting as summer

21
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:25,200
heat waves batter parts of the globe nintendo and valve have both issued

22
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:30,000
warnings to owners of the switch and steam deck respectively to avoid gaming

23
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:35,439
in temperatures over 35 degrees celsius otherwise you might experience a

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,079
different kind of steam head steam

25
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:42,320
i was thinking of the plastic but it's very poisonous the warnings are

26
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:46,159
appropriate given that it's been over 35 degrees in tokyo for five days straight

27
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:50,399
and the country's worst heat wave ever documented while record-breaking

28
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:54,479
temperatures also afflict the eu and uk causing google and oracle servers to

29
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:58,399
overheat and two british airports to shut down because their runways are

30
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:01,840
fricken melting while there isn't anything you can do immediately to stop

31
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,320
the heat other than recycling your soda cans of course

32
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:09,759
it'll help you could also pull a Linus tech dips and slap a heatsink on the

33
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:14,640
back of your switch or steam deck or grandma or anyone and elon musk has

34
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:19,680
experienced another setback completely unrelated to twitter thank god because

35
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:24,239
i'm tired of talking about that syncron has become the first company to implant

36
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:29,200
a brain computer interface into a u.s patient beating musk's competing company

37
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:34,160
neurolink to the punch syncron's stentrode system involves implanting a

38
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:38,400
wire lace in the patient's brain by pushing it up through a blood vessel

39
00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:42,080
meaning no invasive surgery is required unlike existing prototypes where

40
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:46,879
research participants have a big dewicky sticking out of their head have you ever seen those james neurolinx is actually

41
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:50,959
called the stent chode syncron has already implanted stentrodes

42
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:56,000
and four australian patients but received fda approval to do the same in

43
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:58,640
the us back in july 2021. meanwhile

44
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,000
neurolink hasn't even begun human trials which is

45
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:05,720
which is probably monkeying around honestly this is probably good i think

46
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:09,440
it's okay to take it slow with the whole cyborgification thing we have a lot of

47
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:13,280
problems to deal with already before we add in that you know let's figure things

panels that can reach a blistering 480 hertz you don't need that you do not

61
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:13,040
thank you james it's an optional 300 upgrade for the AMD powered m17 r5 or

62
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,959
the Intel powered x17 r2 which might be

63
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:21,120
as hard to justify as those model names what do they mean did they just pick

64
00:04:16,479 --> 00:04:23,040
letters and numbers out of a hat m15 r8

65
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:26,720
that one's next year's after killing google wallet and

66
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:31,040
replacing it with google pay google is releasing a new google wallet to replace

67
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:34,639
google pay in addition to credit debit and

00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:46,080
now and look for another update in a couple years reversing everything again

71
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:52,080
what do you want to use the same app forever time for you to switch it up dolly 2 the text to image generator

72
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:56,160
developed by open ai and the source of manifold internet memes will be made

73
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,759
available to a million people currently on the waitlist in the coming weeks

74
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:05,440
those lucky few will be able to generate 50 free images in the first month and 15

75
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:10,800
every following month this is great but also entirely unfair so only a select

76
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:15,440
few will have ultimate meme power this is meme elitism sign my petition to add

77
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:20,320
a right to meme in the constitution and put open ai in jail microsoft has

78
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:23,280
announced viva engage a new social platform inside its team chat app that

79
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,919
looks almost exactly like facebook there's a

80
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:32,560
news feed with text image and video posts and personal profiles that are

81
00:05:30,479 --> 00:05:37,520
like look look at that that's facebook i don't think microsoft understands that

82
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:41,280
facebook's growth is declining because people don't like facebook they're like

83
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:45,199
the people who pick up litter and bring it back to you you dropped this you

84
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:50,080
didn't mean to i'm sure and listen up canadians who may have bought an optical

85
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:52,000
disk drive between 2004 and 2010 you

86
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:56,800
could get 20 bucks without a proof of purchase thanks to a 29.7 million dollar

87
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,400
settlement in a class-action lawsuit brought against large electronic

88
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:04,560
manufacturers like sony phillips panasonic benq and more the companies

89
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:07,440
were accused of price fixing on optical drives so the least they could do is

90
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,960
give you some money for some double doubles and timbits see you there i

91
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,639
never understand why these are a thing and the least we

92
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:19,039
could do is tell you to come back on friday for more tech news because again

93
00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:22,240
we are the only people qualified to handle it we go through rigorous

94
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,759
training see i wouldn't have been able to
