00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:07.440
james you might have seen tech news but you've never seen it like this hit it

00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:17.840
tech news so how would you like to make a cool million bucks without having to

00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:22.880
throw money down the drain on lottery tickets sounds fun or risk apple is

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:26.640
offering you just that with its new bug bounty program i don't think it's quite

00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:30.480
that but it's designed to entice folks to find flaws with iphone security

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:34.640
although apple had previously offered prizes of two hundred thousand dollars

00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:39.280
to invited researchers only the company is now opening up its top reward to

00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:43.520
anyone who can fully control an iphone via hacking but if you are an actual

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:47.280
cyber security professional apple will be offering modified iphones that will

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:50.800
be a little easier to break into that's always nice with the hope that serious

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:54.480
bugs are discovered before they get rolled out to the masses apple's cash

00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:58.879
rewards have been responsible for uncovering more than four dozen serious

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:04.000
issues since 2016 so if you think you have the hacking chops go give it a try

00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:08.000
a million dollars can buy a lot of galaxy s10s which you should definitely

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:13.040
be getting instead of the note 10. if Linus hot take

00:01:10.479 --> 00:01:16.720
it's not really hot it's a warm lukewarm take while we're on the subject

00:01:14.960 --> 00:01:22.960
of hacking iphones one security researcher has discovered and developed

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:24.720
a sneaky new way to break into idevices

00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:28.000
i don't know we're gonna find out by packing modified hardware into a

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:31.680
standard looking lightning cable researcher mike grover was able to

00:01:29.759 --> 00:01:36.960
establish a wireless connection with a connected iphone and subsequently

00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:41.040
subsequently and subsequently gain full control over it although grover stated

00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:45.360
that a direct connection would work from up to 300 feet away the cable could also

00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:49.600
be set up to connect to a wireless network allowing the hacker remote

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:53.119
access from anywhere although at this point the fake cable is a prototype it

00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:56.799
does demonstrate a sneaky new way of compromising your own security which you

00:01:54.799 --> 00:02:00.799
shouldn't do grover wants to sell the cables to use for legitimate security

00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:05.920
purposes but you may want to think twice about no-name brand cables in the future

00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:11.039
or if someone you once beefed with gives you one as a gift hey man let's put that

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:15.760
in the past here's a new charger here's a here's a nice steak

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:19.680
because we i beefed um okay although megapixels on a camera spec sheet aren't

00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:23.680
as important as they used to be samsung has plans to put a still eye-popping

00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:28.480
number of pixels into your next smartphone 108 million of them to be

00:02:26.239 --> 00:02:32.879
specific that's a lot that's too many a new sensor that samsung has developed

00:02:30.239 --> 00:02:37.519
with xiaomi called the iso cell bright hmx will feature a 108 megapixel

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:42.879
resolution and will also be capable of shooting video in 6k a sensor with this

00:02:40.239 --> 00:02:46.879
many pixels is unsurprisingly physically larger that's how reality works which

00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:50.720
will both improve overall picture quality as well as help low light

00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:54.720
performance though the larger size means that space constraints might keep it

00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:57.680
from widespread adoption no word yet on exactly when we'll see it hit the market

00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:01.519
though if it finds a way into the upcoming me mix 4 you might be able to

00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:05.840
get your hands on it around christmas time and snap plenty of high-res photos

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:10.959
of your weird uncle making everyone uncomfortable at christmas dinner oh joe

come on if you're the proud owner of a canon dslr you might want to check for

00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:50.560
security updates like now

00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:54.640
do it junior as a flaw has been discovered that enables attacks through

00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:58.560
the camera's wi-fi connection the issue is centered around the picture transfer

00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:04.560
protocol which isn't secured making it easy for hackers to gain access to an

00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:05.360
inserted sd card and install ransomware

00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.599
yeah pay up and if you just photographed say

00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:14.720
a wedding you might have a lot more to worry about in that case than a lost

00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:16.479
commission an angry bride you don't want

00:04:14.720 --> 00:04:20.799
to get in her way fortnite streamer ninja is unhappy over

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:24.800
an attack on his now dormant twitch channel after recently switching over to

00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:29.440
microsoft's mixer yesterday morning someone accessed his channel and

00:04:26.479 --> 00:04:33.199
uploaded a two hour porn stream and ninja is also frustrated that twitch has

00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:37.280
been using the channel to promote other streams ninja has received an apology

00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:40.160
though i wonder how many unwitting 12 year olds have gotten in trouble with

00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:45.759
their parents who haven't got a clue what twitches no they all moved to mixer

00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:51.919
i'm not going to comment on that although the future of autonomous vehicles holds a great deal of promise

00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:57.199
there are still some kinks to work out after a driver in moscow moscow had his

00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:02.000
tesla hit a stopped tow truck after which the tesla exploded due to damage

00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:05.600
to the battery pack oh gosh the driver and his family fortunately escaped but

00:05:03.919 --> 00:05:10.639
for the time being make sure to keep your eyes on the road if you own a self-driving car i'd even go so far as

00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:13.199
to say stop watching TechLinked if you're behind the wheel of one right now

00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:19.520
i know we we can take the loss on this one in

00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:21.280
soviet russia car drives you yeah

00:05:19.520 --> 00:05:24.160
tinder is tired of giving a cut of its profits to google and apple for

00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:27.759
processing payments through their respective app stores and will instead

00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:31.520
ask singles who want to buy additional features to pay with a credit card

00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:35.520
directly through the app because of how high profile tinder is it may end up

00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:39.919
setting a trend for other apps to follow suit though if you want my opinion

00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:45.199
paying for online dating isn't worth it believe me i know i don't know that's

00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:49.280
john saying that i i've never used

00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:50.960
a dating app i don't know about those

00:05:49.280 --> 00:05:54.880
and although the chinese authorities have been loathed to embrace crypto the

00:05:53.039 --> 00:05:58.240
country will soon be rolling out its own electronic currency it's not clear

00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:01.919
exactly when it'll be available to chinese consumers but their government

00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:06.639
would probably want to debut an easy to control digital currency free of foreign

00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:10.000
technology sooner rather than later i don't think anything here in canada is

00:06:07.919 --> 00:06:15.120
free of foreign tech except maybe our syrup refineries is that a thing

00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:19.520
dude we have blackberries you know bbm meme oh you mean the phone

00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:24.319
i thought you're talking about the fruit like blackberry syrup all the above you

00:06:21.280 --> 00:06:25.759
ever had blackberry syrup on pancakes

00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:30.240

00:06:28.080 --> 00:06:34.880
tackling flavor you love without any artificial sweeteners

00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:37.919
and all canadian no american writers syrup all over the place
