what is love baby don't tech news
no more after being threatened with anti-trust lawsuits from basically every
government ever google is finally getting sued by the u.s department of
justice the case centers around google search and it's completely dominant
position in the search engine market but being dominant isn't enough to justify
an anti-trust lawsuit the government is using the fact that google pays billions
of dollars a year to companies in exchange for pre-installing google
search on their devices and preferring it over competitors like duckduckgo
which only further solidifies google's powerful position so it's about
distribution to be fair there's a reason google has
become synonymous with online search it's that
ask jeeves sucks and so does bing it's unclear what will come of this legal
conflict but similar cases against google in the eu have resulted in fines
and changes to the way the company bundles Android services although the eu
has a lot more teeth with antitrust so maybe this is just election prop like
posturing i don't know we could also see absolutely nothing happen what are the
lawyers using to search for evidence against google
it ain't yahoo buddy the library riley
AMD saw the way NVIDIA's rtx 3000 series
launch was knocked completely off the rails by scalpers so they've set out a
set of guidelines for retailers to follow so all the rx 6000 cards don't
end up on ebay for like three times the price these recommendations include
using real-time bot detection purchase limits cue-based reservations and more
and if you're like these cards aren't even going to be good
james you numpty well i resent that and
you might be so wrong because leaks are pointing to at least one card in the
lineup being able to achieve 2.5 gigahertz boost clock that's pretty high
is it high enough to unseat NVIDIA from its thrown at the top of the GPU
hierarchy almost certainly not but we'll find out for sure when AMD unveils the
cards next week and apple is removing the custom browser
app that some tinkerers were using to play stadia on iOS
because of course they did developer zachary
knox had made the stadium app to get around apple's restrictions on game
streaming services but the charge that apple is loving
against the app isn't even related to that stadium is being taken down because
it breaks apple's guidelines for connecting bluetooth controllers
this might be bad news for stadia but it might also make people search it up and
try those new free demos of services offering which might convince some
people even game streaming skeptics just to sign up and love it and play stadia

yeah twitch streamers have had a large number of videos deleted after twitch sent out
a sudden wave of copyright takedowns the takedowns are apparently in response to
an influx of dmca claims the site received in june but only processed
just now doesn't really explain why they had to
delete the videos first and send copyright notice a second hey but this
is twitch there's no time to discuss we're live speaking of twitch the
platform got a bit of a boost yesterday when us congresswoman alexandria
ocasio-cortez streamed among us with some popular creators the stream reached
439 000 viewers at its peak granted there were probably a few people
watching just to see aoc's avatar ejected into space but regardless having
a sitting u.s representative played the meme game of the year will fit perfectly
into the 2020 chapter of future history textbooks if there are textbooks after
everything gets burned microsoft has announced that all minecraft players
will have to switch from using a mojang account to a microsoft one drawing
parallels to the whole oculus facebook situation but microsoft seems to be
clearly explaining why they're doing this with the promise that absolutely
nothing will be affected for the end user plus you get a cape
i'm sure if oculus users just got a cape everything would be fine they weren't
promised anything short-form video service qibi is shutting down after
launching just six months ago and the jokes write themselves here people
it looked stupid and i guess it was the shutdown is also happening one day after
the services apps launched on apple tv Android tv and fire tv wow see you later
creepy we hardly knew ye no one did you didn't have enough users wow and it's
time for our wacky tech moment of the day brought to you by these weird wrist
mounted controllers which provide haptic feedback in vr by having a little
motorized ball extend from your forearm your forearm i got one of those two
little motorized ball extend from your forearm up to your hand when you grab
something in game this will almost certainly not be how haptics work in vr
in the future but hey we can have some fun with a completely ridiculous
thing right now we deserve it
2021 is gonna suck too and you deserve a
video that doesn't overstay its welcome so come back on friday for more tech
