00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:05,720
oh thank God you're here I have all of this Tech news I can't get rid of it

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:09,880
there's boxes filling up my living room my wife wants to divorce me please take

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:14,360
it Microsoft is reportedly planning to release a game-changing Windows update

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:18,960
next year but they're scared to actually call it Windows 12 they lack the

5
00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:24,199
strength they lack ambition the update code named Hudson Valley will feature

6
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:28,960
groundbreaking AI features like a new AI powered GUI and even built-in super

7
00:00:26,679 --> 00:00:32,920
resolution TCH for videos and games because the convergence will not be

8
00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:36,920
stopped Altman be praised haven't played Dead Space I'm

9
00:00:34,879 --> 00:00:41,840
sorry wow in addition Hudson Valley's efficiency will allegedly increase the

10
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:45,760
battery life of some devices by 50% you could use your Rog Ally for 12 more

11
00:00:43,879 --> 00:00:50,360
minutes Hudson Valley's release will also feature the return of annual

12
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:54,920
release cycles for Windows 2 years after Microsoft announced they were shifting

13
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:57,440
to a three-year cycle which came a year

14
00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:01,199
after they returned to a one-year cycle already they just don't know how many

15
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:04,960
Windows people want it's it's hard now Hudson Valley won't be released to

16
00:01:02,879 --> 00:01:10,159
manufacturers until August but the platform it's built on germanium will go

17
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:15,400
out in April as qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon X Elite laptop chips depend

18
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:19,439
on new advancements in that platform with all these new features Microsoft

19
00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:24,159
deciding to call Hudson Valley Windows 12 would be understandable on the other

20
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:28,960
hand less than a third of the world's 1.4 billion Windows users are on Windows

21
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:33,920
11 and releasing Windows 12 will fragment the user base even further on

22
00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:37,880
the other hand number go up which is an argument I don't see given enough

23
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:42,399
respect these days 23 in me has changed its terms of service to try and prevent

24
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:46,920
lawsuits by forcing customers into binding arbitration if they don't opt

25
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:51,040
out within 30 days I mean if you can't trust the people that collect tubes full

26
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:54,399
of your ant's saliva who can you trust society's breaking down the company

27
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,479
probably doesn't want to be sued for negligence over the data breach they

28
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:02,960
suffered back in October last week they said only 14,000 accounts were

29
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:07,079
compromised but this week the spit tube enthusiasts confirmed those compromised

30
00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:11,680
accounts were used to access the personal data of 6.9 million people

31
00:02:10,119 --> 00:02:17,760
including data like birth year relationships to other users and self-reported locations Now 23 and me

32
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:21,599
have sent an email to users telling them to accept the new terms of service and

33
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:26,239
that any users who don't opt out of arbitration within 30 days will wave

34
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:31,640
their right to sue the company even worse the email the company sent told

35
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:37,040
users to send their opt-out requests to Legal 23m me.com which isn't the same

36
00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:41,599
email as the one mentioned in the new terms they're really making it hard to

37
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:45,959
not accuse them of negligence here users may have to be more wary about sneaky

38
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:49,959
tactics like this as more data breaches occur according to an independent study

39
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:55,640
commissioned by Apple the number of data breaches tripled between 2013 and 2022

40
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:59,040
and tricking people into arbitration is a lot cheaper for companies than

41
00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:04,360
actually protecting all the data they take from you it's purely business I'm

42
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:08,879
sure you understand Lord Business for no

43
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:10,560
reason Mr business we meet again in Bane

44
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:13,640
the game awards happened yesterday and we don't want to wait 4 days until the

45
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:17,799
next gamelink episode to talk about how ridiculous they were so surprise game

46
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:22,640
link segment but I don't like games I like

47
00:03:19,959 --> 00:03:26,239
Tech tough as noted by Paul tassy at Forbes the game awards has apparently

48
00:03:24,519 --> 00:03:31,040
responded to criticism that it's a glorified 3-hour commercial by becoming

49
00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:35,360
a glorified 3our commercial the vast majority of the show's runtime was given

50
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:39,040
to videos teasing new games celebrities teasing new games and straight up

51
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:43,560
commercials for the steam deck and Legion go handhelds sorry they were also

52
00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:47,920
giveaways I mean imagine if the Oscars asked you to call in for a chance to win

53
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:52,760
an iPad now it's time for best director brought to you by budl the winners of

54
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:56,920
more than a dozen awards that Jeff Keeley in His Infinite Wisdom deemed too

55
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:02,439
small to properly include in the show were listed off rapid fire in a sick

56
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:06,640
mockery of our quick bits they didn't even email us first we're suing While

57
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:11,040
most of the developers and performers that did get to accept awards were

58
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:16,000
played off after a minute or less but that's a small price to pay to give

59
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:18,040
Jordan Peele and Jeff's waifu hide oima

60
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:22,600
6 and a half minutes to Hype up their upcoming game what do you want to anger

61
00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:27,040
kojiman so then he doesn't let Jeff get early access to his next slow Melancholy

62
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:31,320
game with a plot diagram shaped like a PL a spaghetti that's what's at stake

63
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:36,000
and then let him lady in the Trap with videoos the show also lacked any mention

64
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:39,759
of the thousands of game industry workers who were laid off this year but

65
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:43,720
to be fair it's hard to think of a way to scold the same game companies who are

66
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:47,440
paying you to advertise their games even if some of them admittedly do look

67
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:51,680
pretty cool and I mean technically they're not in the industry anymore

68
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:56,160
perhaps the best thing about the show though was this Transcendent performance

69
00:04:53,800 --> 00:05:00,440
of the song Herald of Darkness from remedies Allen wake 2 can we have more

70
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:03,759
of that please I mean if fans want to see trailers they can just do what we do

71
00:05:02,039 --> 00:05:09,360
and watch them all at work with one hand ready to altap just it's simple I don't

72
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,280

84

toddlers are watching them so what are you going to do do Apple and Google have

85
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:08,680
confirmed an allegation by us Senator Ron widen that governments both foreign

86
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:12,759
and domestic are spying on smartphone users through push notifications

87
00:06:11,039 --> 00:06:16,400
furthermore the US federal government reportedly restricted what companies

88
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:19,720
could disclose about this practice to the public according to weiden because

89
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:23,240
these notifications are sent through Google and apple servers as

90
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:27,759
intermediaries The Government Can secretly compel them to hand that data

91
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:31,440
over quote this could tell governments how users interact with certain apps

92
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:35,520
give them access to a notifications complete text and disclose some

93
00:06:33,039 --> 00:06:40,160
unencrypted content that's right Candy Crush is a narc hey kids you want some

94
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:44,919
candy Google has said they fixed an issue that was wiping the data of Drive

95
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:49,080
users the company has called it a sync issue with the drive desktop app while

96
00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:53,759
many affected users have stated they never even used the app Google has now

97
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:58,360
locked Community Forum posts full of people saying the fix doesn't work

98
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:02,759
thereby solving the problem by ignoring it meanwhile privacy focused Proton

99
00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:07,520
Drive just launched a new photo backup feature as an alternative to Google

100
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:09,759
photos terrific news for fans of not

101
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:14,960
having their data mysteriously deleted with an extra side of gaslighting Google

102
00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:19,840
has also admitted they faked their best demo for their recently unveiled Gemini

103
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:25,440
AI model in the video Gemini is shown responding to drawings and even a cup

104
00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:27,400
game in real time via spoken prompts but

105
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:33,360
a Google spokesperson revealed the video was made using still image frames from

106
00:07:29,879 --> 00:07:35,440
the footage and prompting via text turns

107
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:40,120
out the demo wasn't done in real time nor did it include spoken prompts which

108
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:44,080
means all Gemini did was lie to me oh so it's basically Bing then the EU has

109
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:48,199
managed to scare the entertainment industry by considering a ban on geol

110
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:52,360
blocking streaming content an Entertainment Group says Banning geol

111
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:57,360
blocking would put jobs at risk as well as cause price increases for streaming

112
00:07:54,520 --> 00:08:01,039
services they also said geol blocking is one of the foundations for Europe's

113
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:06,479
creative cultural sectors I mean the money that they charged users in some

114
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:08,159
locations to access some content it goes

115
00:08:06,479 --> 00:08:12,960
back into the filmmaker's pocket so they can make more stuff is what they could

116
00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:17,639
say if that's what they did and old huet Packard has gone mask off with a blunt

117
00:08:15,479 --> 00:08:22,039
new ad campaign featuring users physically lashing out at their printers

118
00:08:19,919 --> 00:08:26,639
followed by a slogan claiming that HP printers are made to be less

119
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:33,839
hated if true that would be an improvement over the past few decades

120
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:37,839
where HP printers were primarily made to trick consumers with deceptively cheap

121
00:08:35,959 --> 00:08:42,560
models and then lock them into buying pricey first-party ink that a recent

122
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:47,800
class action lawsuit described as more expensive per ounce than silver caviar

123
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:51,959
and champagne but you can't print out an essay with fancy fish eggs now can you

124
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:58,200
