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

00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:11.360
and then you can say goodbye to a half decent

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:13.679
jabata ciabatta ciabatta microsoft

00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:18.160
surface duo a folding Android phone with two screens seemed like a great idea at

00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:22.240
first but then it launched last year with an out of date processor and buggy

00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:27.760
software well microsoft has now imbued the duo with a new purpose a pretty good

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:31.439
handheld xbox gaming phone when cloud gaming with xbox game pass the phone's

00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:35.440
second screen can be used to display touch controls so your enormous

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:39.760
beautiful fingers won't obscure the arguably more beautiful game graphics it

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

00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:47.520
see it from far away it kind of looks like microsoft made a nintendo ds for

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

00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:56.320
added this feature to actually help sell through its surface duo stock the

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

00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:06.159
there might be some more price drops still so you may not want to smash open

00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:10.479
that piggy bank just yet you've been holding just in case this

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:14.799
very specific feature gets added to this phone i know you have it on friday after

00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:20.400
three weeks of court proceedings apple ceo tim apple finally took the stand to

00:01:17.360 --> 00:01:22.720
testify hoping to end apple's case with

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:26.880
some strong leader-like statements but it seems like epic's arguments have made

00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:31.600
some sense to judge ivan gonzalez rogers who didn't hold back from questioning mr

00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:35.280
apple some very pointed questions timmy reiterated other apple executives claims

00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:40.159
that apple doesn't know for certain that the iOS app store is profitable but they

00:01:37.360 --> 00:01:43.439
have a feel if you will however they are certain that allowing third-party

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:47.520
payments on the app store would be a quote terrible idea i mean that second

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:51.119
one is just science you can't argue after all this fighting

00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:54.320
legal experts seem to think apple is likely to come away the overall victor

00:01:53.119 --> 00:01:58.479
but whether they're forced to make concessions to epic or not this trial is

00:01:56.720 --> 00:02:03.439
likely to lead to other legal fights over wild garden ecosystems whether they

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:07.920
be apples or console makers or whoever will i have to let my neighbor grow

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:10.879
brussels sprouts in my flower bed brussels sprouts can be good if you just

00:02:09.679 --> 00:02:15.520
cook them with a ton of butter and garlic the judge may take until august

00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:19.040
to finalize her ruling so we may never find out and if you missed it we

00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:23.440
published our first tech longer on the weekend about star citizen the as yet

00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:27.760
unreleased controversially ambitious space sim game but star citizen's main

00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:32.319
competitor in the genre elite dangerous is experiencing a controversy of its own

00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:36.319
because of the latest expansion odyssey the dlc which adds first-person on-foot

00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:40.560
gameplay is chock full of bugs and horrible performance issues despite

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:43.599
being in public beta for over a month over a month

00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:48.319
oh such a long time star citizen hasn't

00:02:46.160 --> 00:02:52.160
been development since 2012 so watch it it's in the video players are so unhappy

00:02:50.239 --> 00:02:57.360
they're review bombing the game on steam prompting frontiers ceo david braban to

00:02:55.200 --> 00:03:01.840
issue a public apology promising that fixing odyssey's issues is the studio's

00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:05.599
top priority and you know what they'll probably do that in like a month

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:11.280
sometimes things take a while while like developing games and writing long videos

00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:14.800
about developing games oh mark quiet

00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:18.080

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

00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:17.919
oh we got some juicy rumors claiming that AMD may switch back to using a land

00:04:15.200 --> 00:04:23.199
grid array or lga design for their next gen am5 motherboards and chips that

00:04:20.799 --> 00:04:27.440
means like Intel's setup the connector pins will be on the motherboard side

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:30.960
instead of the CPU side sure it's cheaper to replace a motherboard with

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

00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:38.639
handling a processor with all these fragile pins on it like

00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:42.880
what if i dropped it oh i'm getting chills bitcoin and other

00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:46.800
cryptocurrencies are again taking a hit thanks to a renewed crackdown on bitcoin

00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:51.360
mining announced by one of china's top regulators because bitcoin uses a ton of

00:04:49.280 --> 00:04:55.280
energy and criminals use it too requiring even more energy to chase them

00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:59.120
when they run away that's the dumbest thing i've ever said

00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:03.120
and you know i can see the argument i think we should stop using pretty much

00:05:00.479 --> 00:05:07.600
anything that uses electricity ah i get to get it speaking of china

00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:13.120
that's where razer pre-built pcs have been spotted available with the as yet

00:05:09.440 --> 00:05:14.479
unannounced rtx 3080 ti and 3070 ti if

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

00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:23.280
launch on june 3rd which actually now that i think about it isn't really

00:05:21.840 --> 00:05:27.440
information that's applicable to someone wanting to build their own pc for

00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:31.840
because you because you can't get them anyways the governor of florida has

00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:35.680
signed into law a bill that bans social media companies from banning politicians

00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:40.080
now the law doesn't affect all politicians just those based in florida

00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:43.680
but it applies to political candidates so it remains unclear whether i'm going

00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:47.840
to fly to florida announce i'm running for mayor of florida manville and then

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

00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:56.080
that i'm unpredictable and sony has taken down the servers for little big

00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:59.600
planet the ps3 game from 2008 because there's apparently no other way to stop

00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:03.759
the hackers that have been posting offensive in-game messages

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

00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:10.720
to the original game's servers

00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:14.960
unbelievable what could lead these hackers to post offensive messages about

00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:18.000
a cute little character like sack boy wait is that his name

00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:24.479
yeah better end this episode while we're ahead but you should come back on

00:06:22.880 --> 00:06:27.520
wednesday for more tech news we'll have time to do more research on these type

00:06:26.400 --> 00:06:30.240
of things by that time
