1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,839
we make these videos in a single day so saving time is super important which is

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:10,519
why I'm just going to tell you that magical is sponsoring this video and move on okay I'll tell you more later

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,519
don't worry about it the United States Department of Justice sued apple on

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:20,640
Thursday for monopolizing smartphone markets which is a bolder and broader

5
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:23,920
claim than even epic games made in their lawsuit they should have thought of that

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:28,800
before they became a video game company instead of a government institution the

7
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:34,879
sheer scope of the doj's complaints make this probably the largest antitrust case

8
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:40,120
since the doj sued Microsoft back in 1998 which led to the company pinky

9
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:43,920
swearing to not be so monopolistic in shoving Internet Explorer down consumer

10
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,920
throats but when you change the browser name to Edge pinky promises don't count

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:52,680
that's playground rules in a nutshell the reason for the doj's lawsuit is

12
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:58,920
basically summarized by Tim Cook's now classic line buy your mom an iPhone buy

13
00:00:56,359 --> 00:01:04,320
your mom an iPhone all

14
00:01:00,879 --> 00:01:06,479
right join me or be cast into the

15
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:12,439
piercing void with the rest of your contemptible kind unworthy scum cook

16
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,960
said this in response to a reporter talking about how pictures and videos

17
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:21,119
look like grainy garbage when they're sent between iPhones and Androids and

18
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:25,159
it's even quoted in the doj's complaint they also mentioned the iOS app store's

19
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:30,079
restrictive rules specifically claiming that Apple blocks super apps like WeChat

20
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:34,280
which basically serves as an app platform in itself in China and they

21
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:39,040
also bring up Hardware incompatibility citing the Apple watch's lack of Android

22
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:45,600
support but that's apparently not for a lack of trying Apple told 9 to5 Mac that

23
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:47,600
it spent 3 years investigating whether

24
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:53,200
Android support could be added to Apple watch ultimately deciding it would never

25
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,560
work because of technical limitations

26
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:59,880
which is so weird that's the same reason my last girlfriend broke up with me pretty much any issue with iOS you've

27
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:04,159
ever heard of is cited in this lawsuit and it's clear the doj thinks Apple's

28
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:08,399
Walled Garden approach isn't cool anymore in a statement issued to the

29
00:02:06,039 --> 00:02:14,200
Press Apple says the lawsuit threatens who we are and and and yeah yeah it does

30
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:18,840
that's kind of the whole point you're toxic I'm slipping under but for me the

31
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:23,120
most scandalous part of all of this is that Tim Sweeney can't even tweet about

32
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:28,280
it until he's done giving testimony in the Australian epic games versus Apple

33
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:31,840
trial what does he think if he does tweet it spins the opposite way

34
00:02:31,959 --> 00:02:39,000
neuralink Elon musk's brain computer interface company posted a live stream

35
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:46,080
on Twitter proving that their first human patient is not only alive he is

36
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:48,680
killing it at chess Nolan arbau received

37
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:54,319
the wireless implant in January and can now easily move a mouse cursor with his

38
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,440
mind well enough to play Civilization 6

39
00:02:54,319 --> 00:03:00,519
for 8 hours straight only stopping because he had to charge it now while

40
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:04,280
this is certainly impressive be experts have pointed out that the basic

41
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:09,239
technology here isn't new I mean here's a video from 2007 of a guy controlling a

42
00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:14,319
mouse cursor with his mind academic researchers and startups like synchron

43
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,000
and black rock the neurotech company not

44
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:20,760
the one you're thinking of have all achieved similar results but it's clear

45
00:03:18,519 --> 00:03:25,840
that neuralink is trying to create the iPhone moment for bcis with its

46
00:03:23,239 --> 00:03:31,159
minimalist design and sexy neural threads that get all up inside your

47
00:03:27,799 --> 00:03:32,920
brain and have a 300 count and to be

48
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:38,000
fair it does seem like neuralink has stirred up a lot of hype thanks in no

49
00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:42,799
small part to Elon making claims like this one where he says it's possible to

50
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:45,480
shunt brain signals past a spinal injury

51
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:50,239
so paralyzed people can walk again which would obviously be awesome but I've also

52
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:55,879
seen a lot of this guy's rockets explode so I I just don't know Microsoft has

53
00:03:52,920 --> 00:04:01,439
hired the CEO and founder of inflection AI the company behind the popular pie

54
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:04,519
chatbot to head up its Microsoft AI

55
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:07,519
division also hired by Microsoft most of

56
00:04:04,519 --> 00:04:10,040
inflection other 70 employees in what

57
00:04:07,519 --> 00:04:15,000
many in the industry are calling an aqua hire and what a smaller group is calling

58
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:18,400
a h quisition it's just me saying that second one you know what I don't even

59
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:25,199
like it Microsoft will also pay inflection $620 million to license their

60
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:29,320
Pi models and another 30 million to keep their lips shut about the whole poaching

61
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:34,000
a whole company thing don't spread this around in a blog post the survivors at

62
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:39,759
inflection referred to the gutting of their company as an important change to

63
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:42,280
how will work but analyst Tony Wang and

64
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:46,240
everyone else with eyes says this is basically an acquisition of inflection

65
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:51,000
without having to go through regulatory approval it's clear that Microsoft CEO

66
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:55,440
Satia Nadella is serious about his company's dominance in AI in the wake of

67
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:59,720
this story a quote has gone viral from one of his interviews back in November

68
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:04,840
when Microsoft was briefly going to hire open AI CEO Sam Alman and much of that

69
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:08,919
company's staff asked about the possibility of open AI folding nadela

70
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:14,280
said Microsoft would be fine because quote we have all the IP rights and all

71
00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:19,240
the capability we have the people we have the compute we have the data we

72
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:23,800
have everything we are in there we are below them above them around them we are

73
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:29,160
the Senate he didn't say that last part but

74
00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:32,319
it's treason then now it's time for quick bits brought to you by magical the

75
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,960
company that wants to help you spend less time typing copying and pasting

76
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:39,600
that's time you could use to watch more Tech news or just listen to me speak

77
00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:43,600
until you fall asleep the magical Chrome extension is 100% free to download and

78
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:49,080
compatible with some of the most commonly used tools apps and services

79
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,919
like Gmail LinkedIn and 10 million more

80
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:54,919
it helps you build customizable message templates accessible with a simple

81
00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:59,199
keyboard shortcut magical can even fill in the blanks automatically so you don't

82
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:03,720
have to and if you find yourself repeating the same template again and

83
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:09,039
again magicals AI reply feature powered by GPT 4 lets you reply to messages in

84
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:14,319
one click to easily mix things up so you don't use the word utilize so much that

85
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:16,319
it loses all meaning utilize utilize it

86
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:20,560
it feels weird also with magicals transfers feature you can scrape info

87
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:24,759
from up to 10 tabs of pages at once and automatically plop them all onto one

88
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:28,800
centralized spreadsheet no more tedious copying and pasting download the magical

89
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:34,319
extension for free using the link below and save some of your precious time AMD

90
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:39,160
has announced FSR 3.1 which not only adds substantial improvements to ITS

91
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:44,720
upscaling Technologies but also greatly expands access to frame generation the

92
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:49,880
update allows for the decoupling of AMD's frame generation Tech from its FSR

93
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:56,720
3 upscaling allowing other upscaling Solutions like NVIDIA's dlss or Intel's

94
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:59,599
XS to use team Red's frame generation

95
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:04,919
feature apparently NVIDIA RTX 20 series cards and above are supported though

96
00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:10,039
AMD's upscaling also got some love FSR 3.1 improves temporal stability and

97
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:14,360
reduces ghosting which AMD demonstrated using GIFs that are definitely from

98
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:19,919
ratchet and clanked Rift apart and totally aren't just AI generated

99
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,240
clamation why are they so small like

100
00:07:19,919 --> 00:07:27,039
look how good this looks what sue you a nonprofit open-

101
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:32,520
Source Nintendo switch emulator based on the recently defunct Yuzu released its

102
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:37,280
first build on Wednesday only to have it immediately pulled down by gitlab on the

103
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:42,240
grounds that it's a fork of a public repo against which we previously

104
00:07:39,599 --> 00:07:46,879
received a dmca notice ironic however the suyu team says they

105
00:07:44,919 --> 00:07:50,800
will still continue the project the build is available for Windows Linux and

106
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:55,879
macOS and they've apparently added several fixes and removed all Telemetry

107
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:59,639
which is probably a good idea given what happened to the last guy who Tangled

108
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:05,800
with Nintendo's enforcers the those Goombas look not threatening but at a

109
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:09,599
virtual event Microsoft unveiled the brand new Surface Pro 10 and surface

110
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:14,360
laptop 6 for business no but seriously uh if

111
00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:19,280
you're excited about the new ARM powered devices um don't be for these these

112
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:23,199
products use Intel Core Ultra chips which are still new the rumored

113
00:08:21,039 --> 00:08:27,479
Snapdragon X Elite notebooks won't be coming until May but it might be worth

114
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:32,240
the wait Qualcomm claims most Windows Games should just work on their

115
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:36,320
processors you know what else Works co-pilot before announcing the new

116
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:41,320
Surface devices Microsoft rehashed all of their ai's greatest hits Like a

117
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:45,880
Rolling Stones concert if no one wanted to listen to The Rolling Stones how' I

118
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:49,680
get a ticket Apple's M series chips have an unpatchable side Channel

119
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:54,000
vulnerability allowing attackers to extract encryption keys from Max a team

120
00:08:52,680 --> 00:08:58,720
of researchers from multiple universities detailed an attack called

121
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:03,640
go fetch which uses an app that doesn't require any root access to the Target

122
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:08,000
Mac only the same user privileges needed by most thirdparty macOS apps the

123
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:12,640
vulnerability is due to the design of the Silicon itself so it can't be

124
00:09:10,519 --> 00:09:16,320
patched only mitigated by software defenses that could severely affect

125
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:20,480
performance I also have an unpatchable flaw that affects my performance it's

126
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:24,800
called depression and security researchers say that around 13,000

127
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:28,480
buildings predominantly hotels from around the world are currently

128
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:33,800
vulnerable to an exploit that allows a master key to be created for the entire

129
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:38,720
building using just an NFC enabled Android device and a key card from that

130
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:42,720
hotel it can also be used to override dead bolts so you're going to want to

131
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:48,480
hope that little chain can hold this vulnerability affects saff loock locks

132
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:52,920
created by dormakaba and I swear we're just now making these Nam these are all

133
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:58,440
Star Wars names dorak is aware of the issue and have so far replaced or

134
00:09:55,160 --> 00:10:00,959
patched 36% of the affected locks wow

135
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:05,160
there are no known cases of this exploit being used in the wild this is very much

136
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:11,399
a horror we have uncovered for ourselves in captivity much like the Zony the

137
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:15,560
Unholy offspring of a zebra and a donkey

138
00:10:11,399 --> 00:10:17,480
that's Jessica's fun fact fun horror for

139
00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:21,279
the day and you'll uncover more Tech news if you come back on Monday for

140
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:24,320
another episode of TechLink might have to might have to dig a little bit but

141
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:29,120
just kidding you know we just give it right to you just big into archaeology

142
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,120
right now just
