WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.319
as you can see uh it is a new year uh

00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:10.120
one that we can now verify contains some

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

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:18.960
Nintendo switch 2's motherboard has leaked in photos posted on Reddit and

00:00:17.119 --> 00:00:24.000
while normally I'd sprinkle in some allegedly in here the sheer quantity of

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:28.359
switch to leaks in recent months is making it pretty easy to see which ones

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:32.480
overlap this motherboard not only has USBC ports in the right place on the top

00:00:30.759 --> 00:00:37.440
and bottom but it matches up with a previous leak showing the other side of

00:00:34.440 --> 00:00:39.480
the PCB attached to what is certainly

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

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

00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:55.079
NVIDIA processor with text indicating it was built on a slightly older Samsung 8

00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:59.519
nanometer node leading some to express concerns that the console's graphics

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

00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:09.960
like YouTuber the Wolf Den aren't as worried LOL

00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:14.799
ratio in fact Nintendo just filed a patent yesterday spotted by Laura Kate

00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:19.840
Dale on Blue Sky that describes upscaling techniques and since NVIDIA's

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

00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:27.600
nips May slide on to its display sounds

00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:31.000
painful so when the heck is Nintendo going to speak up about this console

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:35.759
well they're going to talk about it sometime in the next 3 months according

00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:39.880
to the game awards Twitter account for some reason look Jeff Key's just

00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:46.200
protecting his shy Japanese Mega Corporation

00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:47.600
friend see they're just not ready yet

00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:53.920
that was Jeff Keeley ien I haven't worked on it in other leaks that seem

00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:55.600
surprisingly legit news halflife

00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:01.159
three um it seems like it's happening YouTuber

00:01:58.759 --> 00:02:05.439
and data Miner Gabe follower who's been responsible for some reliable info in

00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:10.959
the past claims his sources say valve has begun friends and family play

00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:12.680
testing for the project code named hlx

00:02:10.959 --> 00:02:17.080
which is strongly believed to be Half-Life 3 his video goes through many

00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:22.040
more breadcrumbs but speculation was truly set Ablaze when Mike Shapiro the

00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:28.840
voice actor for Half-Life characters Gman and Barney tweeted a video speaking

00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:30.400
in a Gman ask voice and teasing

00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:34.080
unexpected surpris in the New Year

00:02:32.519 --> 00:02:38.959
unexpected surprises the last time Shapiro did

00:02:36.440 --> 00:02:44.239
something like this was back in 2020 during the launch of valve's VR title

00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:47.400
halflife Alex now this may be solid

00:02:44.239 --> 00:02:50.640
proof that we can soon expect at least

00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:53.599
another Half-Life game it may also be a

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:58.319
promo for Shapiro's own music given that the painting shown in the video is the

00:02:55.480 --> 00:03:01.840
art from the two week old Mike Shapiro single best long

00:03:01.959 --> 00:03:05.480
dog in

00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:14.560
world if that's the case I will be disappointed but happy for Mike and his

00:03:11.640 --> 00:03:19.280
reportedly very good and lengthy pet California's ban on what it calls

00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:23.840
addictive feeds for minors on social platforms was approved by a federal

00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:28.760
judge on New Year's Eve in the world's latest attempt to stop whatever is

00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:34.120
happening to gen Alpha we don't understand it but we know its Aura is

00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:37.360
highkey Ohio which is not goals at all

00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:39.760
did you understand that highkey Ohio yes

00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:44.200
why Ohio just you got to look it up the ruling means companies like meta snap

00:03:42.200 --> 00:03:48.680
and bite dance will be forced to make significant changes to their social apps

00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:54.000
to prevent miners from accessing algorithmic feeds fed by their personal

00:03:51.400 --> 00:04:00.799
data why don't those companies Sue to stop this well they did after Bill SB

00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:03.439
976 was signed into law in September

00:04:00.799 --> 00:04:08.400
Industry Group net Choice sued to block it from taking effect and indeed judge

00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:14.560
Edward J dilla did block many of the Bill's key elements but upheld the ban

00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:19.000
on addictive feeds social platforms will also not be able to send minor

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

00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:29.280
to sleep kids you can have brain rot for breakfast even better you could wake up

00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:33.479

00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:38.000

they have live chat and help desk tickets for support if you need help

00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:57.199

free it'll all make sense oh turns out there are quick bits in the New Year too

00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:05.240
which I honestly I wasn't expecting but

00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:07.240
okay honey the scam posing as a coupon

00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:11.759
finding service has been hit by a class action lawsuit filed by a group of

00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:17.320
lawyers and YouTubers including Wendover Productions and legal eagle AKA Devin

00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:23.000
Stone who says after watching YouTuber Mega lag's recently posted expose he was

00:05:20.479 --> 00:05:26.560
Furious presumably because he found out about honey stealing influencers

00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:32.280
affiliate link commissions and not because he couldn't understand megal

00:05:28.400 --> 00:05:33.600
leg's kiwi accent whoa what I understood

00:05:32.280 --> 00:05:38.520
him fine I just thought isn't it cool that people talk

00:05:35.919 --> 00:05:43.199
differently PornHub parent company ISO has blocked access to its network of

00:05:40.520 --> 00:05:48.360
adults websites in Florida and South Carolina who just joined a list of 16

00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:54.039
other US states who have passed age verification laws to prevent minors from

00:05:50.440 --> 00:05:56.360
accessing adult content it was 17 other

00:05:54.039 --> 00:06:01.280
states but a judge blocked the law in Tennessee and an investigative redditor

00:05:59.039 --> 00:06:05.880
from the state confirmed they can still access the site doing the hard work so

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

00:06:08.840 --> 00:06:15.880
that ISO sites are now blocked across nearly half the country if you're going

00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:20.560
by a land mass which I don't know why you would the US

00:06:18.599 --> 00:06:25.680
Treasury Department says that Chinese hackers broke into several workstations

00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:30.160
and accessed classified documents and what the agency called a major cyber

00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:34.639
security incident as opposed to the normal ones that happen every Tuesday

00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:38.919
the breach comes as US government officials are still trying to get

00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:43.000
hackers out of the country's telecoms networks which is hard when they can

00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:47.240
squeeze through gaps the width of a pencil or the length of a human hair or

00:06:45.400 --> 00:06:50.880
something they squish their bones flat or something I don't get it and a

00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:55.440
software engineer helping to maintain the diaspora Federated social network

00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:59.960
said that while investigating load spikes in the Project's infrastructure

00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:05.479
he discovered that around 70% % of requests received by those websites are

00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:08.720
sent by Bots collecting data to train

00:07:05.479 --> 00:07:10.599
large language models Bots from open AI

00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:16.639
Amazon and anthropic apparently come back to crawl the same web page every 6

00:07:13.599 --> 00:07:19.400
hours and manage to evade every attempt

00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:24.919
to block them unlike the Crawlers from Google and Bing which still remember how

00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:27.440
to behave decently these younger Bots

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

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

00:07:34.919 --> 00:07:38.560
more so see you

00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:43.199
then what why are you still looking at

00:07:43.919 --> 00:07:48.000
me well this is awkward
