1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,319
hmm so you say the show is about

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,360
tech news am i am i saying that right i mean is that what did it

3
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:15,200
i've never heard of it so i it could be worth a shot though so

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:17,039
let's go amazon doubled their q2 profits

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:20,720
this year compared to 2019 which many analysts attributed to more people

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:25,760
staying home and ordering things online but a new extensive report by public

7
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:29,920
citizen a non-profit consumer watchdog shows that those profits were also

8
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:34,160
boosted by price gouging on the platform with some prices for essential products

9
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:38,719
sold directly by amazon not by third parties increasing by as much as

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:41,200
a thousand percent that's the same as 10 times the price for my fellow math

11
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:47,600
allergic friends as much as as like one product

12
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:49,680
no a few it's a few you'll see a 50 pack

13
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:53,920
of disposable face masks went from four dollars in april to 39

14
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:58,640
in august antibacterial soap went from 150 to 7 bucks

15
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,440
toilet paper from 7 to 37 bucks the list

16
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:04,960
goes on amazon responded with a non-statement about how the prices were a result of

17
00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:09,200
the company's systems adjusting to the market and that they quickly work to fix these

18
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,720
types of things from happening which are bad yeah yeah these are these

19
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:16,479
are bad definitely well maybe amazon should also look at

20
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:21,200
fixing their amazon basics in-house products which are apparently combusting they're

21
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:26,640
combusting left and right according to a cnn report it details stories of usb cords melting

22
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:30,240
microwaves catching fire and surge protectors igniting

23
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,200
meters away from a sleeping baby for pete's sake

24
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:37,759
yeah like wake up when you smell smoky stupid baby that baby's so dumb

25
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:41,439
that's the real problem here but sure jeff keep building rockets so you can

26
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:46,000
escape the earth after you drop a faulty microwave into the actual amazon

27
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:50,320
oh man apple is finally going to allow game streaming apps like stadia xcloud

28
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:55,439
and GeForce now onto the iOS app store see we're flexible all you have to do

29
00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:59,280
is make a separate app store app for every playable title in your library and

30
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:03,759
require users to download each one individually

31
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:05,200
okay great we're on the same page with

32
00:02:03,759 --> 00:02:09,200
this now this obviously doesn't make any sense for non-iOS games which is

33
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:12,080
every game on these streaming services so there's some speculation those

34
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:15,920
individual game apps could just be single purpose streaming

35
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:19,840
apps that only stream that one xbox or pc game or stadia game or

36
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:23,920
whatever now this is stupid but maybe it is apple's way of warming

37
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:27,520
up to more reasonable features i don't know the company just indefinitely

38
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:29,599
delayed its threat to remove the sign in with apple option from epic games

39
00:02:28,959 --> 00:02:35,760
accounts so maybe these two companies might end up getting a beer and

40
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:38,640
hashing things out this weekend

41
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,800
if only it wasn't 2020 it's not gonna happen

42
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:45,120
and you and i might be waiting for official benchmarks of the rtx 3080

43
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,680
like chumps but that doesn't mean that leakers ain't gonna leak

44
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:53,840
because they are that's what they do a chinese language review of the rtx 3080

45
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:57,040
by tech lab was posted to billy billy and re-uploaded to youtube

46
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:01,920
showing the card outperforming the rtx 2080 ti

47
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:04,159
by around 25 to 45 and besting the rtx

48
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:07,440
2080 super by up to 62 those numbers are definitely less

49
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:11,840
impressive than the ones NVIDIA showed off but you know what i would do in this situation

50
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:13,680
wait for official reviews from like i don't know lightest tech tips or

51
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,000
something that that's just hey that's just me lttstore.com but while we're talking

52
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:23,760
about leaks we might as well mention this one claiming an rtx 3060 ti

53
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,720
will drop in october which is also around when we'll see AMD's rx6000

54
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,879
series man 2020 has been rough but at least

55
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:34,879
it's going to be an interesting fall for gamers the ones that matter now it's

56
00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:40,000
time for quick bits brought to you by ifixit's marlin screwdrivers

57
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:42,400
get your fix on

58
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:46,000
sounds like a party and oh boy is it because each screwdriver has an

59
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:50,560
ergonomic rubberized handle with swivel top they've also got black oxide coated

60
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:53,680
tips so they hang onto tiny screws with a steel grip

61
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:58,080
you can choose to get them in a hard or soft wrap case and they come with a lifetime warranty

62
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,879
if you break it they'll replace it that sounds insane

63
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,840
but ifixit knows exactly what they're doing it's time for you to have that

64
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:10,480
same confidence so grab a set yourself today at ifixit.com

65
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,360
Linus quick bits and i wouldn't want him

66
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:16,959
any other way president trump is standing firm on his september 15th deadline for the sale of

67
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:20,079
tick tock to an american company saying if it doesn't happen by then

68
00:04:18,479 --> 00:04:25,120
they'll close up tick tock in the country well china actually kind of agrees but

69
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,400
in the opposite direction beijing would reportedly prefer to see

70
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:32,000
the app shut down in the us rather than be sold to an american

71
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:38,639
company so maybe microsoft will finally buy it but it'll be crippled so you can only dance

72
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:40,560
to rick astley songs or something

73
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:43,600
that would actually be amazing console owners of the controlled digital

74
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,280
deluxe edition noticed on the weekend that they had been upgraded

75
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:50,080
to the game's ultimate edition which is slated to receive a free next-gen

76
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:54,720
console upgrade but the change was shortly reversed

77
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:59,360
which is so weird because publisher 505 games had said there was just no way

78
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,639
to like just give players the upgrade definitely not just like

79
00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:06,800
a switch you could accidentally hit or on the weekend or something

80
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:10,320
you know if only ubisoft held their ubisoft forward mini conference

81
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:14,880
yesterday announcing breath of the wild lookalike immortals phoenix rising a remaster of

82
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:19,759
the original prince of persia sands of time a game of space that's

83
00:05:17,919 --> 00:05:23,919
literally the title which is like a vr space exploration simulator i guess

84
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,600
your own sci-fi issue yeah it sounded it sounded like it

85
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:30,880
riders republic which looks like steep on steroids and scott pilgrim vs the

86
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,960
world the game which was gone and now it's back huawei

87
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,960
is actually going to switch its phones over to using the company's in-house

88
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:42,400
harmony os instead of Android next year the announcement was made along with six

89
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:46,560
new devices that we can't really get over here and don't really want

90
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:50,800
to get anyways so might as well not even be telling you about this

91
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:54,479
trade wars and portland is keeping the dream of anonymity

92
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:57,600
alive by banning facial recognition not just for public operations but for

93
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,800
private companies as well things like face unlock for devices is

94
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:05,840
fine obviously but this is just for public spaces it's the most wide-ranging band the us

95
00:06:03,919 --> 00:06:09,520
has seen yet so portland might be a great place to move

96
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:14,560
to for privacy nuts although you're probably going to encounter a few

97
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:16,240
other nuts there too it's a fun city

98
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:19,759
okay well that was fun come back on monday for more tech news

99
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:29,039
is that that's what it there's gonna be more is that how it works

100
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:29,039
fat news is
