1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,200
to celebrate the end of the tech news year the governor of New York has signed

2
00:00:03,780 --> 00:00:11,519
usna's first right to repair bill into

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:14,880
law many like iFixit CEO Kyle Wiens

4
00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:16,859
the wiener man are celebrating a huge

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:22,140
victory for consumers so I guess it's time to pop open something sparkly

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:26,340
that is unless you're Louis Rossman who seems to prefer something a little

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:31,019
stronger he points out that it was only signed after an amendment that makes it

8
00:00:28,980 --> 00:00:35,340
functionally toothless to address the governor's concerns over users safety

9
00:00:33,180 --> 00:00:39,420
and by the governor's concerns I mean the concerns of the tech Giants Who

10
00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:43,860
convinced her probably with money see they haven't provided more than a single

11
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:48,059
example from 10 years ago to the FTC to support their safety argument and the

12
00:00:45,780 --> 00:00:52,620
original bill passed both the state's legislatures with bipartisan majorities

13
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:57,180
and the FTC endorsed that version too leading any astute Tech News host to

14
00:00:55,379 --> 00:01:02,399
wonder whether there's more than politics at play here maybe something

15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,760
like money but perhaps there's some other reason why companies charging

16
00:01:04,379 --> 00:01:09,659
through the nose for their repair services would want to weaken something

17
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:16,680
that would promote free market competition for those same Services we

18
00:01:13,799 --> 00:01:20,939
just don't know money AMD is in the hot seat this week due to how they've dealt

19
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:27,180
with their graphics cards overheating After experiencing Junction temperatures

20
00:01:23,460 --> 00:01:29,340
of 110 degrees Celsius on a 7900 XTX one

21
00:01:27,180 --> 00:01:32,759
redditor said AMD rejected his replacement request because the

22
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:39,000
temperatures are normal which would make sense if perhaps you slash Nero 1338

23
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:43,439
lived in a volcano like a super villain a different user water and diamonds made

24
00:01:41,820 --> 00:01:49,320
a separate post claiming that he couldn't return his XTX to AMD because

25
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:54,299
he had the nerve to unbox it and try to use it the monster what is he some sort

26
00:01:51,899 --> 00:02:00,899
of customer things got so bad that an absolute Chad named Steven who works for

27
00:01:57,420 --> 00:02:02,939
Radeon partner power color asked anyone

28
00:02:00,899 --> 00:02:07,740
experiencing the temperature issues to reach out to him so he could report it

29
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:12,900
to his AMD contacts I guess it's a good thing that AMD locked the power play

30
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:14,520
tables for their 7000 series gpus thus

31
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:20,580
making it more difficult to overclock them otherwise the only fire safe gpus

32
00:02:17,879 --> 00:02:25,920
this generation would be Ian tells us and can you solve climate change by

33
00:02:23,099 --> 00:02:30,480
yourself the startup makes sunsets think so they want to reflect more sunlight

34
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:34,980
back into space by releasing reflective sulfur particles into the atmosphere who

35
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:39,060
could have a problem with that well lots of scientists not only is the practice

36
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:43,560
highly controversial since the real world effect is largely unknown but many

37
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:47,640
researchers are upset the startup released two weather balloons containing

38
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:52,319
a sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere from Mexico without informing well

39
00:02:50,519 --> 00:02:56,879
anyone beforehand they're just gonna ruin their fun also make sunsets has no

40
00:02:55,260 --> 00:03:01,200
idea if the balloons delivered the payload as no sensors were connected to

41
00:02:59,580 --> 00:03:05,280
them though they haven't let that stop them from attempting to sell cooling

42
00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:10,140
credits for future balloon flights claiming that one gram of particles is

43
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:14,700
enough to offset one ton of carbon for a year hey if there's one company you can

44
00:03:12,060 --> 00:03:20,519
trust it's the one that says they joke slash not joke that it's partly a

45
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:24,360
company and partly a cult I'm going to comfortable now it's time for the quick

51
00:03:45,180 --> 00:03:51,840
during their extended Christmas sales today using the link below you better

52
00:03:49,980 --> 00:03:57,599
enjoy these quick bits we collected because they're really tough to catch come here

53
00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:02,340
to Pickens have large Talons some security researchers have things to say

54
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:06,959
about lastpass's disclosure of their password leak Vladimir palant alleges

55
00:04:04,860 --> 00:04:10,560
that the company's public statement was full of omissions half truths and

56
00:04:08,819 --> 00:04:15,239
outright lies another security researcher named Jeremy ghostne echoed

57
00:04:13,739 --> 00:04:20,040
some of the same sentiment while belittling their encryption and even

58
00:04:17,459 --> 00:04:24,600
lastpasses browser extensions man that's got to be so embarrassing for LastPass

59
00:04:22,740 --> 00:04:28,620
not as embarrassing as a password security company suffering seven major

60
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:32,639
security breaches in 10 years but still pretty embarrassing Samsung has

61
00:04:29,940 --> 00:04:36,840
announced a new smart fridge with a 32-inch touchscreen us users will be

62
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:41,400
able to order groceries from Amazon but what's apparently more important since

63
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:45,419
it was mentioned four paragraphs earlier in the company's press release is that

64
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:50,160
the fridge screen is optimized for vertical format videos from platforms

65
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:54,600
like Tick Tock and YouTube this is what nobody wanted now you can Doom scroll

66
00:04:52,500 --> 00:05:00,120
Tick Tock without even having to get up for a snack because you already are up

67
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:02,160
for snacks you just stand there forget

68
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:06,720
why you even got up in the first family can't get in the fridge why am I here a

69
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:11,580
hacker alleging to be in possession of private details from 400 million Twitter

70
00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:16,620
accounts is asking for two hundred thousand dollars in exchange for the

71
00:05:13,380 --> 00:05:19,020
data specifically ryushi wants to sell

72
00:05:16,620 --> 00:05:22,919
the data exclusively to Elon Musk attempting to leverage the fact that the

73
00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:27,720
billionaire social media platform could be fined by the EU for the Privacy

74
00:05:25,020 --> 00:05:31,620
breach jokes on you hacker if I've learned one thing about elon's purchase

75
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:35,880
of Twitter and Tesla stock he doesn't care about how much money he loses he's

76
00:05:33,780 --> 00:05:39,240
got friends a security researcher discovered a bug that would allow

77
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:43,680
malefactors to turn your Google Home Smart speaker into a listening device

78
00:05:41,220 --> 00:05:48,539
apparently he was able to install a backdoor account on any device within

79
00:05:45,660 --> 00:05:53,039
Wireless proximity gaining access to its microphone feed even other devices on

80
00:05:50,699 --> 00:05:58,680
the same network he reported the bug to Google and got 107 500 it's over half of

81
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:03,180
what ryushi is asking for and this person doesn't have to worry about jail

82
00:06:00,419 --> 00:06:08,699
time work smart not hard hackers the accident like Anna Moore scientist

83
00:06:06,180 --> 00:06:13,199
fridge Planet news a pair of scientists have made a more eco-friendly fridge

84
00:06:10,380 --> 00:06:17,100
made of salt essentially it works the same way as road salt does by lowering

85
00:06:15,419 --> 00:06:20,940
the freezing point of a solvent making it colder to create a refrigeration

86
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:24,900
cycle the scientists needed to be able to reverse the cooling process so they

87
00:06:22,860 --> 00:06:30,240
added a device that can remove the salt and yet twitch has been struggling with

88
00:06:27,060 --> 00:06:32,759
the same issue for years what's the deal

89
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:37,380
salt off but should you struggle to come back next week for more Tech news I love

90
00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:41,180
it you love it your parents want you to visit more but don't worry about that
