00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:07.279
look the way TechLink works is simple if we say anything that offends you it was

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:12.519
just a joke if we say anything smart we meant it obviously Windows is currently

00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:17.199
vulnerable to two attacks that hackers could use to effectively downgrade

00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:21.119
victim's operating systems to older versions of Windows that didn't

00:00:19.119 --> 00:00:25.880
constantly show me popup ads for one drive sounds great sign me up that was a

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

00:00:28.599 --> 00:00:36.040
one of the attacks could be used used to undo bug patches while the other could

00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:40.399
replace entire Windows system files with older versions that are vulnerable to

00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:44.200
long-forgotten Windows vulnerabilities it'd be like letting Grandpa moderate

00:00:42.440 --> 00:00:49.120
twitch chat he's not equipped to deal with those memes the attacks were

00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:54.280
discovered in February 2024 by safe breach Labs researcher Alan levv who

00:00:52.120 --> 00:00:58.399
immediately disclosed it to Microsoft and the company acknowledged the flaws

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

00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:08.960
patched it so levv presented his findings at the black hat USA and Defcon

00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:13.600
conferences which always seems to me like a dangerous thing to do but

00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:18.400
admittedly I'm not a hacker I'm the grandpa it me Apple has once again

00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:23.200
updated their European App Store policies in what the tech giant keeps

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

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:33.200
letting developers promote offers for purchasing their stuff anywhere another

00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:36.759
website a much worse and stupid app store wherever they want Apple did

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:41.399
remove restrictions on developers linking outside of their apps but it

00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:48.399
added new fees that could force developers to pay Apple a 15 to 25% cut

00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:50.360
of every sale they make on any platform

00:01:48.399 --> 00:01:56.360
if the user got there through the iOS app obviously epic gam CEO Tim Sweeney

00:01:53.600 --> 00:02:01.360
is not a fan and neither is Apple's other arch nemesis regarding this stuff

00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:05.799
Spotify who called app's new rules unacceptable I haven't been keeping

00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:10.319
track perfectly but this seems like the third time that Apple has made App Store

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

00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:18.599
might be a case of Apple genuinely not understanding the assignment okay sure

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

00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:28.280
the developer firstborn child right no

00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:30.400
what this stupid should taking the other

00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:34.959
course Intel has published a detailed update on the patch that will address

00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:40.280
the now Infamous instability issues in its 13th gen and 14th gen CPUs Intel

00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:46.319
says the patch primarily improves operating conditions for K KF and KS

00:02:43.480 --> 00:02:51.480
processors and promises that all future products will not be affected by this

00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:53.239
issue and you can take that to the bank

00:02:51.480 --> 00:02:56.920
maybe don't though Intel and finances don't really go too well together right

00:02:54.920 --> 00:03:02.239
now the patch is being distributed to motherboard makers with at least ASUS

00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:04.280
and MSI already rolling out BIOS updates

00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:08.519
thankfully it seems like patched systems can expect little to no performance

00:03:06.239 --> 00:03:12.680
impact and as the cherry on top Intel says they're also investigating

00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:17.480
mitigations for processors already impacted by the voltage issue although

00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:21.599
the official guidance is still to get a replacement Intel has confirmed they'll

00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:26.239
be footing the bill for that even for chips incomplete systems bought through

00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:30.360
a manufacturer The Verge went and asked 14 of them if they'd honor Intel's

00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:37.760
2-year extended warranty for affected processors all of which said Yes except

00:03:33.720 --> 00:03:41.480
for Acer Lenovo and NZXT I think I know

00:03:37.760 --> 00:03:45.920
a way to bring him around though

00:03:41.480 --> 00:03:48.319
boo boo bad do the obvious good thing

00:03:45.920 --> 00:03:52.640
Intel did not provide any update on the supposedly completely separate issue

00:03:50.519 --> 00:03:57.400
also causing instability in some laptop chips but they did delay their

00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:01.439
Innovation event from September to sometime in 2025 although that

00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:06.959
apparently will not affect the launch of aerol Lake that's still going to launch

00:04:03.760 --> 00:04:09.879
in 2024 and it's going to be completely

00:04:06.959 --> 00:04:13.159
fine that was sarcasm but this isn't check out our sponsor vessie just

00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:18.040
because the weather is a little bit more predictable in the summer that doesn't

it open AI published the system card for

00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:48.720
its Flagship GPT 40 model which shed

00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:53.240
some light on their reasons for delaying the roll out of its advanced voice mode

00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:57.120
it was doing this wacky thing where it has an emotional outburst and then

00:04:54.960 --> 00:05:01.320
impersonates you do this just for the sake of doing it I think it's really

00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:10.080
important that's such a pure and admirable

00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:12.880
approach no and I'm not driven by impact

00:05:10.080 --> 00:05:18.560
either although if there is impact that's great it's

00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:23.680
just that's that's funny this comes after open AI seemingly upgraded GPT

00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:28.919
40's capabilities to better compete with recent llm releases which came after

00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:32.240
multiple Executives either left the company or took leaves of absence

00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:37.360
presumably because they were tired of chat GPT sassing them in their own voice

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

Steam OS beta contains a hint at the possibility of a general install version

00:05:44.840 --> 00:05:51.680
of the OS which could officially support installation on non steam deck devices

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.280
there is an image that you can install on non- Steam deck devices but it

00:05:53.280 --> 00:06:00.479
doesn't officially support anything said hint is this bullet point in the release

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

00:06:03.520 --> 00:06:09.720
is a Windows handheld with a better processor and display than the steam

00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:14.240
deck but is still somehow worse Steam OS could go some ways to improving the user

00:06:12.400 --> 00:06:20.560
experience and if Gamers could install it on anything maybe we wouldn't have to

00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:21.960
rely on Windows so much oh just install

00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:26.880
another Linux drro I don't want to Jacob isn't here to

00:06:24.960 --> 00:06:32.039
take your side guys I'm sorry an 18-year-old vulnerability has been

00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:39.919
mitiga that affected virtually every web browser on macOS and Linux Windows was

00:06:36.919 --> 00:06:41.840
not vulnerable Windows did have our back

00:06:39.919 --> 00:06:46.440
on this one Windows left those Footprints in the Sand anyway

00:06:43.440 --> 00:06:48.319
researchers at alligo security oligo I

00:06:46.440 --> 00:06:51.960
don't know published their findings on the

00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:56.199
0.0.0.0 day vulnerability so named because it

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

00:07:00.599 --> 00:07:05.759
address Safari Firefox and chrome have

00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:08.840
already been patched which is great because I do not want to read that

00:07:06.960 --> 00:07:14.919
address again the personal information of three billion people like a third of

00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:18.840
the Earth's population uh may have been exposed in a hack according to a

00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:24.440
proposed class action lawsuit against a company called national public data

00:07:22.039 --> 00:07:29.319
which is great for shadowing kudos to the writers of reality on that one the

00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:33.160
data breach in question is currently being being investigated but if the

00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:37.599
class actions complaints are valid billions of people just had their full

00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:42.039
names complete addresses and Social Security numbers Exposed on the dark web

00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:45.639
and that's really embarrassing and a group of physicists think they can solve

00:07:44.159 --> 00:07:51.199
one of the biggest problems in developing practical Fusion Energy using

00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:56.240
mayonnaise turns out we just needed to fling a couple dollops into the reactor

00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:58.639
and Bobs your now the researchers say

00:07:56.240 --> 00:08:03.680
they learned something about Fusion from spinning some May around because just

00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:09.319
like the material inside Fusion reactors Mayo behaves like a solid but starts to

00:08:06.479 --> 00:08:12.360
flow when Under Pressure next week we'll cover a breakthrough in the development

00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:17.000
of warp drives discovered during a routine lab catchup fight so you don't

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

00:08:19.039 --> 00:08:25.400
know whether it will come true unless you come back on Monday I'll have

00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:25.400
sandwiches
