1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,480
ah a lot of people forget to add the tech news and then the dough never rises

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:11,360
and then you can say goodbye to a half decent

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:13,679
jabata ciabatta ciabatta microsoft

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:18,160
surface duo a folding Android phone with two screens seemed like a great idea at

5
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:22,240
first but then it launched last year with an out of date processor and buggy

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:27,760
software well microsoft has now imbued the duo with a new purpose a pretty good

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:31,439
handheld xbox gaming phone when cloud gaming with xbox game pass the phone's

8
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:35,440
second screen can be used to display touch controls so your enormous

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:39,760
beautiful fingers won't obscure the arguably more beautiful game graphics it

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:43,280
won't be as great as using a controller attached with a phone clip but if you

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:47,520
see it from far away it kind of looks like microsoft made a nintendo ds for

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:52,000
xbox games and that's a that's a fun thought now it's likely that microsoft

13
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:56,320
added this feature to actually help sell through its surface duo stock the

14
00:00:54,079 --> 00:01:01,280
phone's price has been dropped from 1400 u.s to around 850 in some places and

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:06,159
there might be some more price drops still so you may not want to smash open

16
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:10,479
that piggy bank just yet you've been holding just in case this

17
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:14,799
very specific feature gets added to this phone i know you have it on friday after

18
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:20,400
three weeks of court proceedings apple ceo tim apple finally took the stand to

19
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:22,720
testify hoping to end apple's case with

20
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:26,880
some strong leader-like statements but it seems like epic's arguments have made

21
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:31,600
some sense to judge ivan gonzalez rogers who didn't hold back from questioning mr

22
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:35,280
apple some very pointed questions timmy reiterated other apple executives claims

23
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:40,159
that apple doesn't know for certain that the iOS app store is profitable but they

24
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:43,439
have a feel if you will however they are certain that allowing third-party

25
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:47,520
payments on the app store would be a quote terrible idea i mean that second

26
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,119
one is just science you can't argue after all this fighting

27
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:54,320
legal experts seem to think apple is likely to come away the overall victor

28
00:01:53,119 --> 00:01:58,479
but whether they're forced to make concessions to epic or not this trial is

29
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:03,439
likely to lead to other legal fights over wild garden ecosystems whether they

30
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:07,920
be apples or console makers or whoever will i have to let my neighbor grow

31
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,879
brussels sprouts in my flower bed brussels sprouts can be good if you just

32
00:02:09,679 --> 00:02:15,520
cook them with a ton of butter and garlic the judge may take until august

33
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:19,040
to finalize her ruling so we may never find out and if you missed it we

34
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:23,440
published our first tech longer on the weekend about star citizen the as yet

35
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:27,760
unreleased controversially ambitious space sim game but star citizen's main

36
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:32,319
competitor in the genre elite dangerous is experiencing a controversy of its own

37
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:36,319
because of the latest expansion odyssey the dlc which adds first-person on-foot

38
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:40,560
gameplay is chock full of bugs and horrible performance issues despite

39
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,599
being in public beta for over a month over a month

40
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:48,319
oh such a long time star citizen hasn't

41
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:52,160
been development since 2012 so watch it it's in the video players are so unhappy

42
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:57,360
they're review bombing the game on steam prompting frontiers ceo david braban to

43
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:01,840
issue a public apology promising that fixing odyssey's issues is the studio's

44
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:05,599
top priority and you know what they'll probably do that in like a month

45
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:11,280
sometimes things take a while while like developing games and writing long videos

46
00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:14,800
about developing games oh mark quiet

47
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:18,080

in cracks in the sidewalk the morning after a rainstorm and they are tasty

61
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:17,919
oh we got some juicy rumors claiming that AMD may switch back to using a land

62
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:23,199
grid array or lga design for their next gen am5 motherboards and chips that

63
00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:27,440
means like Intel's setup the connector pins will be on the motherboard side

64
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:30,960
instead of the CPU side sure it's cheaper to replace a motherboard with

65
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:34,400
bent pins instead of a CPU but i kind of like the feeling of danger i get

66
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:38,639
handling a processor with all these fragile pins on it like

67
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:42,880
what if i dropped it oh i'm getting chills bitcoin and other

68
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:46,800
cryptocurrencies are again taking a hit thanks to a renewed crackdown on bitcoin

69
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:51,360
mining announced by one of china's top regulators because bitcoin uses a ton of

70
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:55,280
energy and criminals use it too requiring even more energy to chase them

71
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:59,120
when they run away that's the dumbest thing i've ever said

72
00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:03,120
and you know i can see the argument i think we should stop using pretty much

73
00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:07,600
anything that uses electricity ah i get to get it speaking of china

74
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:13,120
that's where razer pre-built pcs have been spotted available with the as yet

75
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,479
unannounced rtx 3080 ti and 3070 ti if

76
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:20,320
you're looking to build your own though other rumors are suggesting these cards will be announced by the end of may and

77
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:23,280
launch on june 3rd which actually now that i think about it isn't really

78
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:27,440
information that's applicable to someone wanting to build their own pc for

79
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:31,840
because you because you can't get them anyways the governor of florida has

80
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:35,680
signed into law a bill that bans social media companies from banning politicians

81
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:40,080
now the law doesn't affect all politicians just those based in florida

82
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:43,680
but it applies to political candidates so it remains unclear whether i'm going

83
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:47,840
to fly to florida announce i'm running for mayor of florida manville and then

84
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:51,919
post everything from the dark web onto twitter i'm not even sure if i'll do

85
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:56,080
that i'm unpredictable and sony has taken down the servers for little big

86
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:59,600
planet the ps3 game from 2008 because there's apparently no other way to stop

87
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:03,759
the hackers that have been posting offensive in-game messages

88
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:09,199
in the game the move also affects little big planet 2 and 3 which are also tied

89
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,720
to the original game's servers

90
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:14,960
unbelievable what could lead these hackers to post offensive messages about

91
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:18,000
a cute little character like sack boy wait is that his name

92
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,479
yeah better end this episode while we're ahead but you should come back on

93
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,520
wednesday for more tech news we'll have time to do more research on these type

94
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,240
of things by that time
