1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,840
Tech news never stops. It's in perpetual motion, like beer in a Boyle's flask,

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:11,200
which is a perpetual motion setup that only works with beer.

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:15,680
Make sense? Now, let's get a little tipsy.

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:20,760
Microsoft is finally fixing a long-standing Windows bug that caused

5
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:27,000
the update and shutdown option to instead restart your PC and leave it on.

6
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:31,800
Kind of the opposite of what I wanted. The bug has been around pretty much

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:34,280
since Windows 10 launched in 2015, and

8
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:39,640
now 10 years later, the fix is now available for the successor to Windows

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:42,160
10, Windows 11. Just about 3 weeks after

10
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:46,400
Microsoft cut off Windows 10's access to feature updates. Which kind of confirms

11
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:50,280
for me that this was all an elaborate prank. But, I guess I won't look a gift

12
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:54,960
horse in the mouth, and I'll just be grateful that the October 2025 optional

13
00:00:52,920 --> 00:01:00,760
patch addresses this issue, so my machine can update and shut down

14
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,680
properly at last. Rest well, sweet

15
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:06,480
prince. Now that they've fixed this, Microsoft can move on to their next

16
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:11,360
problem, the fact that they have more AI hardware than they know what to do with.

17
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:16,040
In an interview alongside OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Microsoft's Satya Nadella

18
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:21,680
revealed that they actually don't have enough electricity to power their

19
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:23,440
Scrooge McDuck sized hoard of GPUs. I

20
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:29,720
guess that's why Microsoft has secured export licenses from the US government

21
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:32,840
to ship NVIDIA AI chips that they have

22
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:35,600
to the United Arab Emirates. Geez, the

23
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:39,760
AI GPU market is so hot, tech companies are vacuuming them up like those fiends

24
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:43,440
who camp out at Walmart before Pokémon card restock day. It's a game. I mean,

25
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:47,160
they're playing It's just they're playing a different game. AMD is

26
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:51,680
continuing their attempt at cleaning up a mess of their own making by announcing

27
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:58,320
that they will in fact provide drivers for RX 5000 and RX 6000 series graphics

28
00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:00,600
cards that do include game optimizations

29
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:05,800
for the foreseeable future. As we mentioned on Friday, it looked like AMD

30
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:10,759
was withholding those updates for RDNA 1 and 2 GPUs, which understandably stirred

31
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:15,120
up a lot of backlash. Now, while AMD confirmed that the older cards will be

32
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:20,760
on a separate driver branch than the latest hardware, they will also get bug

33
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:24,320
fixes and security patches in addition to the game optimizations, leaving

34
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:28,840
everything pretty much how it was when this whole kerfuffle started.

35
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:33,400
But, we all had fun, didn't we? Speaking of the latest hardware, AMD confirmed

36
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:39,840
that its next-gen consumer CPUs built on the Zen 6 architecture will carry the

37
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:42,880
code name Ryzen Medusa. Don't look at

38
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:45,200
it. Just put it in your computer.

39
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:50,240
No eye contact. The launch of these chips is planned for the first half of

40
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:52,320
2027. AMD is using the age-old technique

41
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:58,240
of knocking us off balance with a barrage of conflicting news. AMD, what

42
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:02,920
are you doing with your damn GPU driver Whoa, is that a new CPU?

43
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:07,360
And I turn to stone. Google has removed its lightweight Gemma model from the

44
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:12,560
company's AI Studio developer suite after it allegedly fabricated a news

45
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:17,560
story about US Senator Marsha Blackburn being accused of sexual assault. Senator

46
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:22,360
Blackburn wrote an angry letter to Google after reportedly seeing

47
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:28,280
screenshots of the false news story posted online by developers asking Gemma

48
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:31,040
about it in a closed developer environment.

49
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:35,600
We haven't seen the screenshots themselves anywhere. She just said that

50
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:40,440
she saw this online. In response, Google clarified that Gemma wasn't a public

51
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:45,120
chatbot, but an experimental model only available to developers through AI

52
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:48,960
Studio and Vertex AI. It's not integrated into any of Google's

53
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:53,200
public-facing services, like the Gemini assistant or Google AI mode.

54
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:57,280
Nevertheless, the tech giant quickly apologized and said it's tightening

55
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:01,480
safeguards to prevent future hallucinations. And that's all it took.

56
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:06,400
The hallucinations will be gone now. They just needed a sternly worded letter

57
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:08,000
from a boomer Karen. Still, while one AI

58
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:12,840
model was being grounded for bad behavior, another is about to get way

59
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:17,480
more personal. Google executive Robby Stein says the company's upcoming AI

60
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:21,480
model will know everything about you with plans to give your AI companion

61
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:25,680
access to your Gmail and Google Drive, because nothing says trust quite like an

62
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:29,000
assistant that can fact-check your inbox. But, do you want to know who you

63
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:33,320
can really trust with your data? Our sponsor, DeleteMe, your personal data

64
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:37,920
deletion specialist, which is a useful thing to have since data brokers already

65
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:41,280
have your info unless you've avoided using the internet for the past couple

66
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:46,760
decades, and this is the first video you've watched since 2004. I am honored.

67
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:51,120
And also, I'm so, so sorry. This is how the internet is now. But, I'm not sorry

68
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:54,840
that DeleteMe has family plans now with easy-to-use, regularly scheduled

69
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:58,920
personal data deletion requests and detailed reports for the whole squad.

70
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:03,640
Head on over the video description and check out DeleteMe today. If energy

71
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,960
can't be created or destroyed, then how did these Quick Bits pop into existence

72
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:11,840
from nowhere? Hmm. Apple has finally launched its web

73
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:16,120
version of the App Store, letting users browse, search, and even remotely

74
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:20,320
install apps to their iPhones and iPads directly from a desktop browser. The new

75
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:25,160
interface looks almost identical to the App Store app on Apple devices, offering

76
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:29,280
a vast upgrade over the previous web-based App Store interface, which

77
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:33,560
only consisted of individual listings for apps but lacked other features, like

78
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:38,040
a discover page or app management. The update allows weirdo PC users like me to

79
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:43,280
have a peek into what life is like inside Apple's mysterious walled garden.

80
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:47,960
Do they all sit in artisanal cafes dressed like Tim Cook to write their

81
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:53,240
screenplays? I can't wait to find out. Proofpoint researchers say hackers are

82
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:58,400
teaming up with organized crime rings to steal cargo by breaching trucking and

83
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:02,920
logistics systems. By using stolen credentials and remote access tools,

84
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:07,360
attackers are managing to hijack fleet dashboards, reroute shipments, and

85
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:11,920
eventually steal entire shipping containers before anybody notices. The

86
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:17,720
whole thing has a very Kim Possible man in the chair vibe.

87
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:22,360
Shego, I mean. The attacks blur the line between cybercrime and Grand Theft Auto,

88
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:26,560
literally, with hackers using fake fishing emails and pick-up orders

89
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:32,400
getting couriers to do almost all of the work for them. It's a lot like Michael

90
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:34,520
Mann's 1981 masterpiece Thief, but there

91
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:37,760
are way more computers and not nearly enough Willie Nelson. Unless he's also

92
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:43,440
involved. No. Snapmaker's U1 3D printer is now

93
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:47,880
officially on sale after becoming one of the most successful Kickstarters in

94
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:52,160
history, pulling in 20 million USD in pre-orders. The hype is well deserved,

95
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:56,960
largely thanks to its standout feature, the use of four independent extruders.

96
00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:01,600
And this design allows users to print in multiple colors by changing the actual

97
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,520
toolhead, reducing wasted plastic and time.

98
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:10,560
Wow. Combined with pricing starting at a very accessible $850,

99
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:14,520
depending on your situation, it's easy to see why this launch has been massive.

100
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:19,320
It's basically the 3D printing equivalent of a four-barrel carburetor.

101
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:25,840
Only this one costs less to fill up. A comparison I understand. SpaceX is

102
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:27,600
teaming up with a startup named BezZar.

103
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:32,080
I think it's a play on Beskar, like from Star Wars, but it's an X BezZar. I don't

104
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:37,480
know. To mount semiconductor manufacturing modules on Falcon 9

105
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:43,960
booster rockets, hoping the vacuum of space improves chip production. These

106
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:46,920
fab ships will ride up, use the vacuum

107
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:51,400
of space for ultra-clean fabrication, hoping that cosmic rays aren't an issue,

108
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:57,920
and return with the booster in about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, NVIDIA just launched

109
00:07:54,120 --> 00:08:00,440
its powerhouse H100 GPU into orbit via a

110
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:04,840
Starlink satellite to test running full-blown AI data centers in space

111
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:08,200
instead of Earth. These billionaire
