vsauce michael here wait what
not even funny okay computex is a place where we're used to seeing lots of
interesting prototypes but when it comes from a major player like Intel it's
bound to turn a few heads and that's exactly what's happening this week with
Intel's new concept laptop the most interesting thing about this new laptop
is a secondary 12 and a half inch screen where the hinge would be on a more
traditional laptop its design gives users quite a bit of flexibility with
how to angle the screens relative to each other not only would this secondary
screen be a nice add-on for basic tasks like gaming and productivity but the
fact that the main screen can be boosted up to eye level could be a welcome
addition for folks who are tired of hunching over to look at a tiny laptop
monitor no word yet on pricing or when it might hit the market but it could be a great
complement to a foldable phone if you
never get tired of folding things like fitted sheets you're never done folding
a fitted sheet i hate it huawei phones have effectively been banned from us
cellular networks but the chinese phone giant isn't going down without a fight
the company has filed suit asking a federal court to declare the ban
unconstitutional the legal arguments involved center around the idea that the
company was not given due process as the ban took effect after huawei was
specifically mentioned and banned in a 2019 law passed by congress huawei is
asking for summary judgment which means it's trying to get the court to
invalidate the law right away and get back onto u.s networks though a hearing
isn't scheduled until september and a separate ban on u.s companies doing
business with huawei would still remain but there's no such ban here in canada
although microsoft has previously said that Windows 10 would be the last
version of Windows it sounds like they might have another operating system in
the works based on some comments a microsoft vp made at computex apparently
this new os will be centered around more seamless connections including constant
updates and stricter default security which makes it seem like microsoft might
be taking a similar approach to its new pc operating system as you might see on
something like a smartphone although none of these things sound all that
dissimilar from what microsoft brought to the table with Windows 10 it does
appear that this will be a totally new os instead of a scaled-back version of
what we currently have it's also unclear when it'll come out or even when we'll
get an official announcement so enjoy the last version of Windows while you

you're planning to take an uber anytime soon be sure you're respectful to your
driver as a new policy from the rideshare company could kick users off
the service if their rating is too low this will probably look similar to how
drivers can also be deactivated if their rating is too low so make sure not to
puke in the back seat after a heavy
heavy hard night out hey man there's no advertising allowed
on wikipedia unless you count those banners asking for donations but that
didn't deter the north face from trying to put some subtle ads on the website
anyway the company replaced some photos on wikipedia with substitutions
featuring product placement after working with an ad agency funnily enough
the north face made a video showing what it did and claiming it collaborated with
wikipedia which turned out to not be true as wikipedia pulled the images as
soon as it found out i guess maybe don't try to scam a system and then brag about
it maybe i really hope mark zuckerberg
doesn't have plans to vacation up here in canada as if he attempts to enter the
country he's going to be summoned to appear before the canadian parliament
before a committee on how big data is affecting democratic systems it wouldn't
be the first time ol zuck has been asked to appear before a legislative body so
if he doesn't want to deal with it i guess he'll just have to settle for
knock off american poutine p.o.o teen
