1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:07,279
look the way TechLink works is simple if we say anything that offends you it was

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:12,519
just a joke if we say anything smart we meant it obviously Windows is currently

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:17,199
vulnerable to two attacks that hackers could use to effectively downgrade

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:21,119
victim's operating systems to older versions of Windows that didn't

5
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:25,880
constantly show me popup ads for one drive sounds great sign me up that was a

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:30,800
joke do not sign me up because this isn't the fun kind of version roll back

7
00:00:28,599 --> 00:00:36,040
one of the attacks could be used used to undo bug patches while the other could

8
00:00:33,399 --> 00:00:40,399
replace entire Windows system files with older versions that are vulnerable to

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:44,200
long-forgotten Windows vulnerabilities it'd be like letting Grandpa moderate

10
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:49,120
twitch chat he's not equipped to deal with those memes the attacks were

11
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:54,280
discovered in February 2024 by safe breach Labs researcher Alan levv who

12
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:58,399
immediately disclosed it to Microsoft and the company acknowledged the flaws

13
00:00:56,039 --> 00:01:03,760
and started working on a fix but it's been a while and Microsoft still hasn't

14
00:01:01,399 --> 00:01:08,960
patched it so levv presented his findings at the black hat USA and Defcon

15
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:13,600
conferences which always seems to me like a dangerous thing to do but

16
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:18,400
admittedly I'm not a hacker I'm the grandpa it me Apple has once again

17
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:23,200
updated their European App Store policies in what the tech giant keeps

18
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:28,040
insisting is an attempt to play by the eu's new rules I look we're we're

19
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:33,200
letting developers promote offers for purchasing their stuff anywhere another

20
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:36,759
website a much worse and stupid app store wherever they want Apple did

21
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:41,399
remove restrictions on developers linking outside of their apps but it

22
00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:48,399
added new fees that could force developers to pay Apple a 15 to 25% cut

23
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:50,360
of every sale they make on any platform

24
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:56,360
if the user got there through the iOS app obviously epic gam CEO Tim Sweeney

25
00:01:53,600 --> 00:02:01,360
is not a fan and neither is Apple's other arch nemesis regarding this stuff

26
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:05,799
Spotify who called app's new rules unacceptable I haven't been keeping

27
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:10,319
track perfectly but this seems like the third time that Apple has made App Store

28
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:14,560
changes to try and avoid getting fined by the EU and I'm starting to think this

29
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:18,599
might be a case of Apple genuinely not understanding the assignment okay sure

30
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:25,200
yeah we we allow other app stores and linking out and all that and then we get

31
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:28,280
the developer firstborn child right no

32
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:30,400
what this stupid should taking the other

33
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:34,959
course Intel has published a detailed update on the patch that will address

34
00:02:32,239 --> 00:02:40,280
the now Infamous instability issues in its 13th gen and 14th gen CPUs Intel

35
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:46,319
says the patch primarily improves operating conditions for K KF and KS

36
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:51,480
processors and promises that all future products will not be affected by this

37
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,239
issue and you can take that to the bank

38
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:56,920
maybe don't though Intel and finances don't really go too well together right

39
00:02:54,920 --> 00:03:02,239
now the patch is being distributed to motherboard makers with at least ASUS

40
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:04,280
and MSI already rolling out BIOS updates

41
00:03:02,239 --> 00:03:08,519
thankfully it seems like patched systems can expect little to no performance

42
00:03:06,239 --> 00:03:12,680
impact and as the cherry on top Intel says they're also investigating

43
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:17,480
mitigations for processors already impacted by the voltage issue although

44
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:21,599
the official guidance is still to get a replacement Intel has confirmed they'll

45
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:26,239
be footing the bill for that even for chips incomplete systems bought through

46
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:30,360
a manufacturer The Verge went and asked 14 of them if they'd honor Intel's

47
00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:37,760
2-year extended warranty for affected processors all of which said Yes except

48
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:41,480
for Acer Lenovo and NZXT I think I know

49
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:45,920
a way to bring him around though

50
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:48,319
boo boo bad do the obvious good thing

51
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:52,640
Intel did not provide any update on the supposedly completely separate issue

52
00:03:50,519 --> 00:03:57,400
also causing instability in some laptop chips but they did delay their

53
00:03:55,159 --> 00:04:01,439
Innovation event from September to sometime in 2025 although that

54
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:06,959
apparently will not affect the launch of aerol Lake that's still going to launch

55
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:09,879
in 2024 and it's going to be completely

56
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:13,159
fine that was sarcasm but this isn't check out our sponsor vessie just

57

it open AI published the system card for

65
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:48,720
its Flagship GPT 40 model which shed

66
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:53,240
some light on their reasons for delaying the roll out of its advanced voice mode

67
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:57,120
it was doing this wacky thing where it has an emotional outburst and then

68
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:01,320
impersonates you do this just for the sake of doing it I think it's really

69
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:10,080
important that's such a pure and admirable

70
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:12,880
approach no and I'm not driven by impact

71
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:18,560
either although if there is impact that's great it's

72
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:23,680
just that's that's funny this comes after open AI seemingly upgraded GPT

73
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:28,919
40's capabilities to better compete with recent llm releases which came after

74
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:32,240
multiple Executives either left the company or took leaves of absence

75
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:37,360
presumably because they were tired of chat GPT sassing them in their own voice

76
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:42,160
rude I would not like to be told by a robot that I'm not unique the latest

77
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:47,000
Steam OS beta contains a hint at the possibility of a general install version

78
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:51,680
of the OS which could officially support installation on non steam deck devices

79
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,280
there is an image that you can install on non- Steam deck devices but it

80
00:05:53,280 --> 00:06:00,479
doesn't officially support anything said hint is this bullet point in the release

81
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:05,360
notes added support for extra EXT ra Rog Ally keys if you're unaware the Rog Ally

82
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:09,720
is a Windows handheld with a better processor and display than the steam

83
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:14,240
deck but is still somehow worse Steam OS could go some ways to improving the user

84
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:20,560
experience and if Gamers could install it on anything maybe we wouldn't have to

85
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,960
rely on Windows so much oh just install

86
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:26,880
another Linux drro I don't want to Jacob isn't here to

87
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:32,039
take your side guys I'm sorry an 18-year-old vulnerability has been

88
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:39,919
mitiga that affected virtually every web browser on macOS and Linux Windows was

89
00:06:36,919 --> 00:06:41,840
not vulnerable Windows did have our back

90
00:06:39,919 --> 00:06:46,440
on this one Windows left those Footprints in the Sand anyway

91
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:48,319
researchers at alligo security oligo I

92
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:51,960
don't know published their findings on the

93
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:56,199
0.0.0.0 day vulnerability so named because it

94
00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:03,759
allowed malicious websites to exploit the I have to say it again 0.0.0.0 IP V4

95
00:07:00,599 --> 00:07:05,759
address Safari Firefox and chrome have

96
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:08,840
already been patched which is great because I do not want to read that

97
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:14,919
address again the personal information of three billion people like a third of

98
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:18,840
the Earth's population uh may have been exposed in a hack according to a

99
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:24,440
proposed class action lawsuit against a company called national public data

100
00:07:22,039 --> 00:07:29,319
which is great for shadowing kudos to the writers of reality on that one the

101
00:07:27,639 --> 00:07:33,160
data breach in question is currently being being investigated but if the

102
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:37,599
class actions complaints are valid billions of people just had their full

103
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:42,039
names complete addresses and Social Security numbers Exposed on the dark web

104
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:45,639
and that's really embarrassing and a group of physicists think they can solve

105
00:07:44,159 --> 00:07:51,199
one of the biggest problems in developing practical Fusion Energy using

106
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:56,240
mayonnaise turns out we just needed to fling a couple dollops into the reactor

107
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:58,639
and Bobs your now the researchers say

108
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:03,680
they learned something about Fusion from spinning some May around because just

109
00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:09,319
like the material inside Fusion reactors Mayo behaves like a solid but starts to

110
00:08:06,479 --> 00:08:12,360
flow when Under Pressure next week we'll cover a breakthrough in the development

111
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:17,000
of warp drives discovered during a routine lab catchup fight so you don't

112
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:21,199
want to miss it even though I did just make that last thing up none of us can

113
00:08:19,039 --> 00:08:25,400
know whether it will come true unless you come back on Monday I'll have

114
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,400
sandwiches
