WEBVTT 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 00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:09.880 there's boxes filling up my living room my wife wants to divorce me please take 00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:14.360 it Microsoft is reportedly planning to release a game-changing Windows update 00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:18.960 next year but they're scared to actually call it Windows 12 they lack the 00:00:16.240 --> 00:00:24.199 strength they lack ambition the update code named Hudson Valley will feature 00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:28.960 groundbreaking AI features like a new AI powered GUI and even built-in super 00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:32.920 resolution TCH for videos and games because the convergence will not be 00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:36.920 stopped Altman be praised haven't played Dead Space I'm 00:00:34.879 --> 00:00:41.840 sorry wow in addition Hudson Valley's efficiency will allegedly increase the 00:00:38.879 --> 00:00:45.760 battery life of some devices by 50% you could use your Rog Ally for 12 more 00:00:43.879 --> 00:00:50.360 minutes Hudson Valley's release will also feature the return of annual 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:54.920 release cycles for Windows 2 years after Microsoft announced they were shifting 00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:57.440 to a three-year cycle which came a year 00:00:54.920 --> 00:01:01.199 after they returned to a one-year cycle already they just don't know how many 00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:04.960 Windows people want it's it's hard now Hudson Valley won't be released to 00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:10.159 manufacturers until August but the platform it's built on germanium will go 00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:15.400 out in April as qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon X Elite laptop chips depend 00:01:13.240 --> 00:01:19.439 on new advancements in that platform with all these new features Microsoft 00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:24.159 deciding to call Hudson Valley Windows 12 would be understandable on the other 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 00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:33.920 11 and releasing Windows 12 will fragment the user base even further on 00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:37.880 the other hand number go up which is an argument I don't see given enough 00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:42.399 respect these days 23 in me has changed its terms of service to try and prevent 00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:46.920 lawsuits by forcing customers into binding arbitration if they don't opt 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 00:01:48.520 --> 00:01:54.399 of your ant's saliva who can you trust society's breaking down the company 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:58.479 probably doesn't want to be sued for negligence over the data breach they 00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:02.960 suffered back in October last week they said only 14,000 accounts were 00:02:00.479 --> 00:02:07.079 compromised but this week the spit tube enthusiasts confirmed those compromised 00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:11.680 accounts were used to access the personal data of 6.9 million people 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 00:02:15.720 --> 00:02:21.599 have sent an email to users telling them to accept the new terms of service and 00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:26.239 that any users who don't opt out of arbitration within 30 days will wave 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:31.640 their right to sue the company even worse the email the company sent told 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 00:02:35.519 --> 00:02:41.599 email as the one mentioned in the new terms they're really making it hard to 00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:45.959 not accuse them of negligence here users may have to be more wary about sneaky 00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:49.959 tactics like this as more data breaches occur according to an independent study 00:02:48.040 --> 00:02:55.640 commissioned by Apple the number of data breaches tripled between 2013 and 2022 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:59.040 and tricking people into arbitration is a lot cheaper for companies than 00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:04.360 actually protecting all the data they take from you it's purely business I'm 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:08.879 sure you understand Lord Business for no 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:10.560 reason Mr business we meet again in Bane 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:13.640 the game awards happened yesterday and we don't want to wait 4 days until the 00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:17.799 next gamelink episode to talk about how ridiculous they were so surprise game 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:22.640 link segment but I don't like games I like 00:03:19.959 --> 00:03:26.239 Tech tough as noted by Paul tassy at Forbes the game awards has apparently 00:03:24.519 --> 00:03:31.040 responded to criticism that it's a glorified 3-hour commercial by becoming 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:35.360 a glorified 3our commercial the vast majority of the show's runtime was given 00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:39.040 to videos teasing new games celebrities teasing new games and straight up 00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:43.560 commercials for the steam deck and Legion go handhelds sorry they were also 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 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 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:56.920 more than a dozen awards that Jeff Keeley in His Infinite Wisdom deemed too 00:03:55.040 --> 00:04:02.439 small to properly include in the show were listed off rapid fire in a sick 00:03:59.720 --> 00:04:06.640 mockery of our quick bits they didn't even email us first we're suing While 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:11.040 most of the developers and performers that did get to accept awards were 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 00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:18.040 Jordan Peele and Jeff's waifu hide oima 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 00:04:20.239 --> 00:04:27.040 kojiman so then he doesn't let Jeff get early access to his next slow Melancholy 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 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:36.000 and then let him lady in the Trap with videoos the show also lacked any mention 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.759 of the thousands of game industry workers who were laid off this year but 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 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:47.440 paying you to advertise their games even if some of them admittedly do look 00:04:45.880 --> 00:04:51.680 pretty cool and I mean technically they're not in the industry anymore 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:56.160 perhaps the best thing about the show though was this Transcendent performance 00:04:53.800 --> 00:05:00.440 of the song Herald of Darkness from remedies Allen wake 2 can we have more 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 00:05:02.039 -->

what are you going to do do Apple and Google have 00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:08.680 confirmed an allegation by us Senator Ron widen that governments both foreign 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:12.759 and domestic are spying on smartphone users through push notifications 00:06:11.039 --> 00:06:16.400 furthermore the US federal government reportedly restricted what companies 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:19.720 could disclose about this practice to the public according to weiden because 00:06:18.280 --> 00:06:23.240 these notifications are sent through Google and apple servers as 00:06:21.440 --> 00:06:27.759 intermediaries The Government Can secretly compel them to hand that data 00:06:25.520 --> 00:06:31.440 over quote this could tell governments how users interact with certain apps 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:35.520 give them access to a notifications complete text and disclose some 00:06:33.039 --> 00:06:40.160 unencrypted content that's right Candy Crush is a narc hey kids you want some 00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:44.919 candy Google has said they fixed an issue that was wiping the data of Drive 00:06:42.440 --> 00:06:49.080 users the company has called it a sync issue with the drive desktop app while 00:06:47.039 --> 00:06:53.759 many affected users have stated they never even used the app Google has now 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:58.360 locked Community Forum posts full of people saying the fix doesn't work 00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:02.759 thereby solving the problem by ignoring it meanwhile privacy focused Proton 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:07.520 Drive just launched a new photo backup feature as an alternative to Google 00:07:04.440 --> 00:07:09.759 photos terrific news for fans of not 00:07:07.520 --> 00:07:14.960 having their data mysteriously deleted with an extra side of gaslighting Google 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:19.840 has also admitted they faked their best demo for their recently unveiled Gemini 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:25.440 AI model in the video Gemini is shown responding to drawings and even a cup 00:07:21.919 --> 00:07:27.400 game in real time via spoken prompts but 00:07:25.440 --> 00:07:33.360 a Google spokesperson revealed the video was made using still image frames from 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:35.440 the footage and prompting via text turns 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:40.120 out the demo wasn't done in real time nor did it include spoken prompts which 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 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:48.199 managed to scare the entertainment industry by considering a ban on geol 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:52.360 blocking streaming content an Entertainment Group says Banning geol 00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:57.360 blocking would put jobs at risk as well as cause price increases for streaming 00:07:54.520 --> 00:08:01.039 services they also said geol blocking is one of the foundations for Europe's 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:06.479 creative cultural sectors I mean the money that they charged users in some 00:08:02.960 --> 00:08:08.159 locations to access some content it goes 00:08:06.479 --> 00:08:12.960 back into the filmmaker's pocket so they can make more stuff is what they could 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 00:08:15.479 --> 00:08:22.039 new ad campaign featuring users physically lashing out at their printers 00:08:19.919 --> 00:08:26.639 followed by a slogan claiming that HP printers are made to be less 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:33.839 hated if true that would be an improvement over the past few decades 00:08:31.520 --> 00:08:37.839 where HP printers were primarily made to trick consumers with deceptively cheap 00:08:35.959 --> 00:08:42.560 models and then lock them into buying pricey first-party ink that a recent 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:47.800 class action lawsuit described as more expensive per ounce than silver caviar 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 00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:58.200 so you didn't think about that dude luckily you can come back on Monday for 00:08:54.000 -->
