WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.319
hmm so you say the show is about

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.360
tech news am i am i saying that right i mean is that what did it

00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:15.200
i've never heard of it so i it could be worth a shot though so

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:17.039
let's go amazon doubled their q2 profits

00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:20.720
this year compared to 2019 which many analysts attributed to more people

00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:25.760
staying home and ordering things online but a new extensive report by public

00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:29.920
citizen a non-profit consumer watchdog shows that those profits were also

00:00:27.439 --> 00:00:34.160
boosted by price gouging on the platform with some prices for essential products

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:38.719
sold directly by amazon not by third parties increasing by as much as

00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:41.200
a thousand percent that's the same as 10 times the price for my fellow math

00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:47.600
allergic friends as much as as like one product

00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:49.680
no a few it's a few you'll see a 50 pack

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:53.920
of disposable face masks went from four dollars in april to 39

00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:58.640
in august antibacterial soap went from 150 to 7 bucks

00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:59.440
toilet paper from 7 to 37 bucks the list

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:04.960
goes on amazon responded with a non-statement about how the prices were a result of

00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:09.200
the company's systems adjusting to the market and that they quickly work to fix these

00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:12.720
types of things from happening which are bad yeah yeah these are these

00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:16.479
are bad definitely well maybe amazon should also look at

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:21.200
fixing their amazon basics in-house products which are apparently combusting they're

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:26.640
combusting left and right according to a cnn report it details stories of usb cords melting

00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:30.240
microwaves catching fire and surge protectors igniting

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:33.200
meters away from a sleeping baby for pete's sake

00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:37.759
yeah like wake up when you smell smoky stupid baby that baby's so dumb

00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:41.439
that's the real problem here but sure jeff keep building rockets so you can

00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:46.000
escape the earth after you drop a faulty microwave into the actual amazon

00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:50.320
oh man apple is finally going to allow game streaming apps like stadia xcloud

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

00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:59.280
is make a separate app store app for every playable title in your library and

00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:03.759
require users to download each one individually

00:02:00.479 --> 00:02:05.200
okay great we're on the same page with

00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:09.200
this now this obviously doesn't make any sense for non-iOS games which is

00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:12.080
every game on these streaming services so there's some speculation those

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:15.920
individual game apps could just be single purpose streaming

00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:19.840
apps that only stream that one xbox or pc game or stadia game or

00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:23.920
whatever now this is stupid but maybe it is apple's way of warming

00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:27.520
up to more reasonable features i don't know the company just indefinitely

00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:29.599
delayed its threat to remove the sign in with apple option from epic games

00:02:28.959 --> 00:02:35.760
accounts so maybe these two companies might end up getting a beer and

00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:38.640
hashing things out this weekend

00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:40.800
if only it wasn't 2020 it's not gonna happen

00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:45.120
and you and i might be waiting for official benchmarks of the rtx 3080

00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:49.680
like chumps but that doesn't mean that leakers ain't gonna leak

00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:53.840
because they are that's what they do a chinese language review of the rtx 3080

00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:57.040
by tech lab was posted to billy billy and re-uploaded to youtube

00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:01.920
showing the card outperforming the rtx 2080 ti

00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:04.159
by around 25 to 45 and besting the rtx

00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:07.440
2080 super by up to 62 those numbers are definitely less

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

00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:13.680
wait for official reviews from like i don't know lightest tech tips or

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

00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:23.760
about leaks we might as well mention this one claiming an rtx 3060 ti

00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:26.720
will drop in october which is also around when we'll see AMD's rx6000

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:30.879
series man 2020 has been rough but at least

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

00:03:33.519 --> 00:03:40.000
time for quick bits brought to you by ifixit's marlin screwdrivers

00:03:36.959 --> 00:03:42.400
get your fix on

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:46.000
sounds like a party and oh boy is it because each screwdriver has an

00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:50.560
ergonomic rubberized handle with swivel top they've also got black oxide coated

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:53.680
tips so they hang onto tiny screws with a steel grip

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

00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:00.879
if you break it they'll replace it that sounds insane

00:03:59.040 --> 00:04:03.840
but ifixit knows exactly what they're doing it's time for you to have that

00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:10.480
same confidence so grab a set yourself today at ifixit.com

00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:11.360
Linus quick bits and i wouldn't want him

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

00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:20.079
tick tock to an american company saying if it doesn't happen by then

00:04:18.479 --> 00:04:25.120
they'll close up tick tock in the country well china actually kind of agrees but

00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:28.400
in the opposite direction beijing would reportedly prefer to see

00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:32.000
the app shut down in the us rather than be sold to an american

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

00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:40.560
to rick astley songs or something

00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:43.600
that would actually be amazing console owners of the controlled digital

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:47.280
deluxe edition noticed on the weekend that they had been upgraded

00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:50.080
to the game's ultimate edition which is slated to receive a free next-gen

00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:54.720
console upgrade but the change was shortly reversed

00:04:52.400 --> 00:04:59.360
which is so weird because publisher 505 games had said there was just no way

00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:02.639
to like just give players the upgrade definitely not just like

00:05:00.479 --> 00:05:06.800
a switch you could accidentally hit or on the weekend or something

00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:10.320
you know if only ubisoft held their ubisoft forward mini conference

00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:14.880
yesterday announcing breath of the wild lookalike immortals phoenix rising a remaster of

00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:19.759
the original prince of persia sands of time a game of space that's

00:05:17.919 --> 00:05:23.919
literally the title which is like a vr space exploration simulator i guess

00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:27.600
your own sci-fi issue yeah it sounded it sounded like it

00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:30.880
riders republic which looks like steep on steroids and scott pilgrim vs the

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.960
world the game which was gone and now it's back huawei

00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:38.960
is actually going to switch its phones over to using the company's in-house

00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:42.400
harmony os instead of Android next year the announcement was made along with six

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:46.560
new devices that we can't really get over here and don't really want

00:05:44.080 --> 00:05:50.800
to get anyways so might as well not even be telling you about this

00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:54.479
trade wars and portland is keeping the dream of anonymity

00:05:52.080 --> 00:05:57.600
alive by banning facial recognition not just for public operations but for

00:05:56.080 --> 00:06:00.800
private companies as well things like face unlock for devices is

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

00:06:03.919 --> 00:06:09.520
has seen yet so portland might be a great place to move

00:06:06.960 --> 00:06:14.560
to for privacy nuts although you're probably going to encounter a few

00:06:10.960 --> 00:06:16.240
other nuts there too it's a fun city

00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:19.759
okay well that was fun come back on monday for more tech news

00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:29.039
is that that's what it there's gonna be more is that how it works

00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:29.039
fat news is
