you know david yes when i was a little boy
if we wanted tech news we had to run five miles in our bare feet to the next
town over so we could hear it from the blacksmith
you guys had a blacksmith we didn't the next town did after much
rumor mongering and leaks nintendo has finally revealed the cheaper version of
the switch it's called the nintendo switch light and has built-in controls
so no removable joy-cons but there is a d-pad instead of directional buttons
it's got a slightly smaller 5.5 inch screen instead of the 6.2 inch one on
the vanilla switch but with the same 720p resolution and slightly higher
battery life of up to 7 hours there's no kickstand infrared capability or hd
rumble but there is still gyro support it cannot be connected to a tv but you
can still connect wireless controllers including regular joy cons to play games
that require them like one two switch if you want to play that game for some
reason it'll be available in three colors for 200 us dollars on september
20th so this is how the 3ds dies
not with a bang but with a light switch
did you get what i like a light switch
it's a switch light but what switch is about it now
i don't know it's not a switch it's not a year that's a good point there's no
switching involved we were all still pretty confused about how google stadia
is going to work even after we got lots of new details from stadia connect a new
faq posted on the stadia website has cleared some things up while other
things remain confusing as ever the page says users will still have access to
games they've purchased on stadia even if the developer pulls support if you
cancel your stadia pro subscription your game saves will still be available if
you re-subscribe in the future and local multiplayer will be available with up to
four stadia controllers although it's unclear whether it will work with third
party controllers there's also a loophole spotted by rs technica that
might allow you to buy a founder's edition for 130 bucks then return it for
a refund after you've activated your stadia access code you'll lose access to
the stadia pro extras but it appears that this will allow you to get access
to stadia base three months before its public launch
now listen david i'm not saying you should do this okay
but it seems like something that you could do if
you were you know morally kind of in a gray area
told me all 50 shades of gray are we gonna get sued for this
speaking of google being sketchy you know all those recent stories about how
amazon employees listen to audio recordings of echo owners yeah
turns out google does that too belgian news outlet vrt nws was told by a person
working as a contractor for google that thousands of the company's employees
have access to a system containing recordings from google home devices
humans transcribe these recordings to help improve speech recognition with
google officially saying only 0.2 percent of all audio clips are
transcribed but that's not the creepy part many of these
audio clips which vrt actually heard were not meant to be picked up by the
google home people were just talking in the vicinity and the home started
recording arguments between spouses conversations containing personal
details and people in emergency situations even were all recorded and
were subsequently reviewed by humans vrt
identified some of these individuals based on the recordings and then showed
those people the audio of themselves but like really are we supposed to be
surprised like did we not we should have seen this coming yeah i threw my note
three months ago it kept showing up every week did you actually yeah i keep
showing up what's kept showing up google home
at your house that's getting rid of well that's creepy

no offense sorry guys and security firm
checkpoint has identified malware that it's nicknamed agent smith because like
the character from the matrix who assimilates other individuals the
malware replaces code from other apps taking them over and avoiding detection
agent smith forces apps to display more ads and then redirects the revenue from
the ads to its makers it's infected 25 million devices mostly in india but also
in the surrounding countries and north america through the third party app
store 9 apps fully patched Android
devices and apps should be safe though you don't have to consult the oracle to
determine that's a good idea did you have you have you seen the matrix have
you even seen the matrix
