1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,319
as you can see uh it is a new year uh

2
00:00:03,879 --> 00:00:10,120
one that we can now verify contains some

3
00:00:07,319 --> 00:00:14,280
Bonkers Tech news right off the bat uh so uh here's here's some of it the

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,960
Nintendo switch 2's motherboard has leaked in photos posted on Reddit and

5
00:00:17,119 --> 00:00:24,000
while normally I'd sprinkle in some allegedly in here the sheer quantity of

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:28,359
switch to leaks in recent months is making it pretty easy to see which ones

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:32,480
overlap this motherboard not only has USBC ports in the right place on the top

8
00:00:30,759 --> 00:00:37,440
and bottom but it matches up with a previous leak showing the other side of

9
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:39,480
the PCB attached to what is certainly

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:45,000
the switch 2 panel and I've never been more sure of anything in my life do we

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:50,000
live in a simulation I don't know but that's the switch to one image shows the

12
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:55,079
NVIDIA processor with text indicating it was built on a slightly older Samsung 8

13
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:59,519
nanometer node leading some to express concerns that the console's graphics

14
00:00:57,199 --> 00:01:05,560
won't be able to render Mario's nipples at the 4K and 60 FPS they deserve others

15
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:09,960
like YouTuber the Wolf Den aren't as worried LOL

16
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:14,799
ratio in fact Nintendo just filed a patent yesterday spotted by Laura Kate

17
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:19,840
Dale on Blue Sky that describes upscaling techniques and since NVIDIA's

18
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:25,640
dlss is the best in the game I'm sure the switch 2 will do justice to whatever

19
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,600
nips May slide on to its display sounds

20
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:31,000
painful so when the heck is Nintendo going to speak up about this console

21
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:35,759
well they're going to talk about it sometime in the next 3 months according

22
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:39,880
to the game awards Twitter account for some reason look Jeff Key's just

23
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:46,200
protecting his shy Japanese Mega Corporation

24
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:47,600
friend see they're just not ready yet

25
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:53,920
that was Jeff Keeley ien I haven't worked on it in other leaks that seem

26
00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:55,600
surprisingly legit news halflife

27
00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:01,159
three um it seems like it's happening YouTuber

28
00:01:58,759 --> 00:02:05,439
and data Miner Gabe follower who's been responsible for some reliable info in

29
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:10,959
the past claims his sources say valve has begun friends and family play

30
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,680
testing for the project code named hlx

31
00:02:10,959 --> 00:02:17,080
which is strongly believed to be Half-Life 3 his video goes through many

32
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:22,040
more breadcrumbs but speculation was truly set Ablaze when Mike Shapiro the

33
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:28,840
voice actor for Half-Life characters Gman and Barney tweeted a video speaking

34
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,400
in a Gman ask voice and teasing

35
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:34,080
unexpected surpris in the New Year

36
00:02:32,519 --> 00:02:38,959
unexpected surprises the last time Shapiro did

37
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:44,239
something like this was back in 2020 during the launch of valve's VR title

38
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:47,400
halflife Alex now this may be solid

39
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:50,640
proof that we can soon expect at least

40
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:53,599
another Half-Life game it may also be a

41
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:58,319
promo for Shapiro's own music given that the painting shown in the video is the

42
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:01,840
art from the two week old Mike Shapiro single best long

43
00:03:01,959 --> 00:03:05,480
dog in

44
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:14,560
world if that's the case I will be disappointed but happy for Mike and his

45
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:19,280
reportedly very good and lengthy pet California's ban on what it calls

46
00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:23,840
addictive feeds for minors on social platforms was approved by a federal

47
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:28,760
judge on New Year's Eve in the world's latest attempt to stop whatever is

48
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:34,120
happening to gen Alpha we don't understand it but we know its Aura is

49
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:37,360
highkey Ohio which is not goals at all

50
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:39,760
did you understand that highkey Ohio yes

51
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:44,200
why Ohio just you got to look it up the ruling means companies like meta snap

52
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:48,680
and bite dance will be forced to make significant changes to their social apps

53
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:54,000
to prevent miners from accessing algorithmic feeds fed by their personal

54
00:03:51,400 --> 00:04:00,799
data why don't those companies Sue to stop this well they did after Bill SB

55
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:03,439
976 was signed into law in September

56
00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:08,400
Industry Group net Choice sued to block it from taking effect and indeed judge

57
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:14,560
Edward J dilla did block many of the Bill's key elements but upheld the ban

58
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:19,000
on addictive feeds social platforms will also not be able to send minor

59
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:24,840
notifications from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and from midnight to 6:00 a.m. go

60
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:29,280

69
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:05,240
which I honestly I wasn't expecting but

70
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:07,240
okay honey the scam posing as a coupon

71
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:11,759
finding service has been hit by a class action lawsuit filed by a group of

72
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:17,320
lawyers and YouTubers including Wendover Productions and legal eagle AKA Devin

73
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:23,000
Stone who says after watching YouTuber Mega lag's recently posted expose he was

74
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:26,560
Furious presumably because he found out about honey stealing influencers

75
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:32,280
affiliate link commissions and not because he couldn't understand megal

76
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:33,600
leg's kiwi accent whoa what I understood

77
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:38,520
him fine I just thought isn't it cool that people talk

78
00:05:35,919 --> 00:05:43,199
differently PornHub parent company ISO has blocked access to its network of

79
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:48,360
adults websites in Florida and South Carolina who just joined a list of 16

80
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:54,039
other US states who have passed age verification laws to prevent minors from

81
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:56,360
accessing adult content it was 17 other

82
00:05:54,039 --> 00:06:01,280
states but a judge blocked the law in Tennessee and an investigative redditor

83
00:05:59,039 --> 00:06:05,880
from the state confirmed they can still access the site doing the hard work so

84
00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:11,120
you don't have to or in case you can't that was a pun a map from 44 media shows

85
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:15,880
that ISO sites are now blocked across nearly half the country if you're going

86
00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:20,560
by a land mass which I don't know why you would the US

87
00:06:18,599 --> 00:06:25,680
Treasury Department says that Chinese hackers broke into several workstations

88
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:30,160
and accessed classified documents and what the agency called a major cyber

89
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:34,639
security incident as opposed to the normal ones that happen every Tuesday

90
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:38,919
the breach comes as US government officials are still trying to get

91
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:43,000
hackers out of the country's telecoms networks which is hard when they can

92
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:47,240
squeeze through gaps the width of a pencil or the length of a human hair or

93
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:50,880
something they squish their bones flat or something I don't get it and a

94
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:55,440
software engineer helping to maintain the diaspora Federated social network

95
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:59,960
said that while investigating load spikes in the Project's infrastructure

96
00:06:57,639 --> 00:07:05,479
he discovered that around 70% % of requests received by those websites are

97
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:08,720
sent by Bots collecting data to train

98
00:07:05,479 --> 00:07:10,599
large language models Bots from open AI

99
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:16,639
Amazon and anthropic apparently come back to crawl the same web page every 6

100
00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:19,400
hours and manage to evade every attempt

101
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:24,919
to block them unlike the Crawlers from Google and Bing which still remember how

102
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:27,440
to behave decently these younger Bots

103
00:07:24,919 --> 00:07:32,400
though they're skibby rizing all over the place I never did that but I did ask

104
00:07:30,039 --> 00:07:38,560
you to come back for Tech news and so I shall again Friday is when there will be

105
00:07:34,919 --> 00:07:38,560
more so see you

106
00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:43,199
then what why are you still looking at

107
00:07:43,919 --> 00:07:48,000
me well this is awkward
