WEBVTT

00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:07.120
we will continue reading the tech news until it's depleted and then

00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:11.519
god help us the eu's mission to reign in big tech

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:15.200
continues with the european parliament passing almost unanimously a preliminary

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:20.000
proposal that's a piece that would force apple to

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

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

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:31.439
hold up the eu's radio equipment directive would

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:35.520
mandate usb-c be included on all small to medium-sized electronic gadgets with

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:41.440
exemptions for devices that are too small for usb-c port like smart watches

00:00:38.239 --> 00:00:43.200
health trackers or other tiny wearables

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:47.440
it also calls for standardization of wireless charging standards which could

00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:51.039
affect apple's newish magsafe system or you know any future phone that's like

00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:55.280
this port it's not really for charging wireless is the predominant charging

00:00:52.960 --> 00:01:00.239
it's just for fun no eu member states will hash out the details after another

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

00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:08.720
a new law called the digital services act dsa

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:13.360
which would force online platforms to better police illegal content and ban

00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:16.960
the targeting of users based on religion gender or sexuality so don't worry too

00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:21.200
much about the future of technology and the internet europe is here to save us

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:25.360
all except americans meanwhile google is trying to make your phone less helpful

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

00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:33.759
ban third-party call recording apps from using Android's accessibility API which

00:01:31.759 --> 00:01:38.479
allows them to access the audio functions on a given device now to be

00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:42.399
fair to google this ban is meant to escape legal liability since laws

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:45.920
governing whose consent is required before recording a phone call differ

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:50.560
depending on where you are but there are lots of scenarios in which having the

00:01:47.759 --> 00:01:55.200
option would be extremely useful like a phone interview or a call with a shady

00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:58.880
company or as part of an elaborate punk prank watch out Linus

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

00:02:01.759 --> 00:02:08.160
call europe help us europe again hello

00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:12.400
and just like microsoft sony is also reportedly considering introducing ads

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:16.879
into free to play games on its console the playstation 5. have you heard of it

00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:21.440
sony's plans are currently limited to ads in game menus but like microsoft the

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:26.160
company is apparently talking with its partners about ads situated in the game

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:30.319
world like say virtual billboards and cyberpunk for atari blade runner

00:02:28.720 --> 00:02:33.599
reference look at the beautiful people they're just movies podcasts have you

00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:37.040
heard of it we're on it there's also talk of rewarding players with items

00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:41.440
like skins for watching enough ads but only in a way that doesn't disrupt the

00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:46.720
gameplay experience that's funny because i would say ads disrupt gameplay by

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:50.640
definition but they could also create new revenue opportunities for free to

00:02:48.160 --> 00:02:53.920
play game developers which i like who says games need to be fun and not

00:02:52.239 --> 00:02:58.480
dystopian anyway let's just rule play to earn baby riley

00:02:57.040 --> 00:03:03.440

00:03:38.799 --> 00:03:44.400
devil spawn what AMD might be on the path to

00:03:42.239 --> 00:03:49.760
revolutionizing the processor world once more with their phoenix apus

00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:53.840
the chips are expected next year with up to 24 rdna compute units which would

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:56.480
technically make them more powerful than the xbox series s

00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:01.120
s s which has 20. and if the phoenix chips

00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:05.200
are built with rdna3 they could even outperform AMD's low-end discrete

00:04:03.040 --> 00:04:08.959
graphics cards you think AMD called them phoenix because it's like

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

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

00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:22.400
thermalright has launched a bending corrector frame for Intel's alder-like

00:04:20.400 --> 00:04:27.280
processors that is designed to prevent them from bending or warping an issue

00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:31.280
that has been observed among some 12-gen chips only in the wild

00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:35.680
although the anti-bending unit goes directly against Intel's strong

00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:38.880
recommendation to not use such mods i can understand why enthusiasts would

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

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

00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:53.360
musk is still gunning for twitter announcing on 420 that he had secured a

00:04:50.400 --> 00:04:57.840
46.5 billion dollar package 21 billion of which was his own money from tesla

00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:01.199
stock to fund his hostile takeover bid the rest coming from morgan stanley

00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:05.120
twitter's board has not given musk a formal answer to his offer but will be

00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:08.400
facing scrutiny from shareholders who stand to gain from the deal as is

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

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

00:05:15.840 --> 00:05:21.440
dollar private jets like every week after basically ignoring it for more

00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:27.039
than 10 years apple has officially pulled the plug on macOS server the 20

00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:30.479
app that provided a few server specific features which have now largely been

00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:33.440
integrated into macOS itself but i'm still having trouble comprehending this

00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:37.520
because apple people those people don't use servers they keep everything in

00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:41.759
moleskine notebooks and vision boards and stuff and word clouds they have all

00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:46.080
your information at the cafe the servers work there and while the GPU

00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:50.160
stock and price landscape might be returning to some kind of normalcy the

00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:54.240
worldwide chip shortage is still very much an issue according to a bloomberg

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:59.680
report at least one major industrial conglomerate one one conglomerate has

00:05:57.280 --> 00:06:03.120
resorted to tearing apart used washing machines stripping out their

00:06:01.039 --> 00:06:08.560
semiconductors and using them in their own products we're in the cannibalism

00:06:04.880 --> 00:06:08.560
stage it won't be long now

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

00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:18.240
just the way grandma likes it grandma love tech news
