1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,120
we will continue reading the tech news until it's depleted and then

2
00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:11,519
god help us the eu's mission to reign in big tech

3
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:15,200
continues with the european parliament passing almost unanimously a preliminary

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,000
proposal that's a piece that would force apple to

5
00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:23,760
finally just slap a usbc port on the iphone for pete's sake come on stick it

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,880
in there they've already put it on the ipads and macbook so like what's the

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:31,439
hold up the eu's radio equipment directive would

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:35,520
mandate usb-c be included on all small to medium-sized electronic gadgets with

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:41,440
exemptions for devices that are too small for usb-c port like smart watches

10
00:00:38,239 --> 00:00:43,200
health trackers or other tiny wearables

11
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:47,440
it also calls for standardization of wireless charging standards which could

12
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:51,039
affect apple's newish magsafe system or you know any future phone that's like

13
00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:55,280
this port it's not really for charging wireless is the predominant charging

14
00:00:52,960 --> 00:01:00,239
it's just for fun no eu member states will hash out the details after another

15
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:04,400
vote in may but the eu ain't done here parliament is also soon expected to pass

16
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:08,720
a new law called the digital services act dsa

17
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:13,360
which would force online platforms to better police illegal content and ban

18
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:16,960
the targeting of users based on religion gender or sexuality so don't worry too

19
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:21,200
much about the future of technology and the internet europe is here to save us

20
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:25,360
all except americans meanwhile google is trying to make your phone less helpful

21
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:29,600
if you're ever planning on using it to record a phone call a new policy will

22
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:33,759
ban third-party call recording apps from using Android's accessibility API which

23
00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:38,479
allows them to access the audio functions on a given device now to be

24
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:42,399
fair to google this ban is meant to escape legal liability since laws

25
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,920
governing whose consent is required before recording a phone call differ

26
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:50,560
depending on where you are but there are lots of scenarios in which having the

27
00:01:47,759 --> 00:01:55,200
option would be extremely useful like a phone interview or a call with a shady

28
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,880
company or as part of an elaborate punk prank watch out Linus

29
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:04,079
google's gonna punk ya thankfully there are some workarounds but man this almost makes you want to

30
00:02:01,759 --> 00:02:08,160
call europe help us europe again hello

31
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:12,400
and just like microsoft sony is also reportedly considering introducing ads

32
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:16,879
into free to play games on its console the playstation 5. have you heard of it

33
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:21,440
sony's plans are currently limited to ads in game menus but like microsoft the

34
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:26,160
company is apparently talking with its partners about ads situated in the game

35
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,319
world like say virtual billboards and cyberpunk for atari blade runner

36
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,599
reference look at the beautiful people they're just movies podcasts have you

37
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,040
heard of it we're on it there's also talk of rewarding players with items

38
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:41,440
like skins for watching enough ads but only in a way that doesn't disrupt the

39
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:46,720
gameplay experience that's funny because i would say ads disrupt gameplay by

40
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:50,640
definition but they could also create new revenue opportunities for free to

41
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:53,920
play game developers which i like who says games need to be fun and not

42
00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:58,480
dystopian anyway let's just rule play to earn baby riley

43
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:03,440

53
00:03:38,799 --> 00:03:44,400
devil spawn what AMD might be on the path to

54
00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:49,760
revolutionizing the processor world once more with their phoenix apus

55
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,840
the chips are expected next year with up to 24 rdna compute units which would

56
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:56,480
technically make them more powerful than the xbox series s

57
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:01,120
s s which has 20. and if the phoenix chips

58
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:05,200
are built with rdna3 they could even outperform AMD's low-end discrete

59
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:08,959
graphics cards you think AMD called them phoenix because it's like

60
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:12,799
verizon has been just okay but now it's like they're gonna rise from the ashes

61
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:17,840
like a phoenix do you think that that would be maybe they did that taiwan-based company

62
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:22,400
thermalright has launched a bending corrector frame for Intel's alder-like

63
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:27,280
processors that is designed to prevent them from bending or warping an issue

64
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:31,280
that has been observed among some 12-gen chips only in the wild

65
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:35,680
although the anti-bending unit goes directly against Intel's strong

66
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,880
recommendation to not use such mods i can understand why enthusiasts would

67
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:44,160
want to protect their expensive new processor they can always just tell until they're framing it for display

68
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:47,680
purposes only i wrote that as a joke but i'm assuming some people do that elon

69
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:53,360
musk is still gunning for twitter announcing on 420 that he had secured a

70
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:57,840
46.5 billion dollar package 21 billion of which was his own money from tesla

71
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:01,199
stock to fund his hostile takeover bid the rest coming from morgan stanley

72
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:05,120
twitter's board has not given musk a formal answer to his offer but will be

73
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,400
facing scrutiny from shareholders who stand to gain from the deal as is

74
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:12,880
usually the case with elon it's unclear whether he's doing this out of real concern for free speech or whether he

75
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:17,759
just needs another way to distract people from videos of tesla's driving themselves into three and a half million

76
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:21,440
dollar private jets like every week after basically ignoring it for more

77
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:27,039
than 10 years apple has officially pulled the plug on macOS server the 20

78
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,479
app that provided a few server specific features which have now largely been

79
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:33,440
integrated into macOS itself but i'm still having trouble comprehending this

80
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:37,520
because apple people those people don't use servers they keep everything in

81
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:41,759
moleskine notebooks and vision boards and stuff and word clouds they have all

82
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:46,080
your information at the cafe the servers work there and while the GPU

83
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:50,160
stock and price landscape might be returning to some kind of normalcy the

84
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:54,240
worldwide chip shortage is still very much an issue according to a bloomberg

85
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:59,680
report at least one major industrial conglomerate one one conglomerate has

86
00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:03,120
resorted to tearing apart used washing machines stripping out their

87
00:06:01,039 --> 00:06:08,560
semiconductors and using them in their own products we're in the cannibalism

88
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,560
stage it won't be long now

89
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:15,039
we'll have to wait until next week to see how things play out so come back on monday for more tech news

90
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:18,240
just the way grandma likes it grandma love tech news
