00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.840
Tech news never stops. It's in perpetual motion, like beer in a Boyle's flask,

00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:11.200
which is a perpetual motion setup that only works with beer.

00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:15.680
Make sense? Now, let's get a little tipsy.

00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:20.760
Microsoft is finally fixing a long-standing Windows bug that caused

00:00:18.040 --> 00:00:27.000
the update and shutdown option to instead restart your PC and leave it on.

00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:31.800
Kind of the opposite of what I wanted. The bug has been around pretty much

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:34.280
since Windows 10 launched in 2015, and

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:39.640
now 10 years later, the fix is now available for the successor to Windows

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:42.160
10, Windows 11. Just about 3 weeks after

00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:46.400
Microsoft cut off Windows 10's access to feature updates. Which kind of confirms

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

00:00:48.720 --> 00:00:54.960
horse in the mouth, and I'll just be grateful that the October 2025 optional

00:00:52.920 --> 00:01:00.760
patch addresses this issue, so my machine can update and shut down

00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:02.680
properly at last. Rest well, sweet

00:01:00.760 --> 00:01:06.480
prince. Now that they've fixed this, Microsoft can move on to their next

00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:11.360
problem, the fact that they have more AI hardware than they know what to do with.

00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:16.040
In an interview alongside OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Microsoft's Satya Nadella

00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:21.680
revealed that they actually don't have enough electricity to power their

00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:23.440
Scrooge McDuck sized hoard of GPUs. I

00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:29.720
guess that's why Microsoft has secured export licenses from the US government

00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:32.840
to ship NVIDIA AI chips that they have

00:01:29.720 --> 00:01:35.600
to the United Arab Emirates. Geez, the

00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:39.760
AI GPU market is so hot, tech companies are vacuuming them up like those fiends

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:43.440
who camp out at Walmart before Pokémon card restock day. It's a game. I mean,

00:01:42.160 --> 00:01:47.160
they're playing It's just they're playing a different game. AMD is

00:01:45.160 --> 00:01:51.680
continuing their attempt at cleaning up a mess of their own making by announcing

00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:58.320
that they will in fact provide drivers for RX 5000 and RX 6000 series graphics

00:01:54.840 --> 00:02:00.600
cards that do include game optimizations

00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:05.800
for the foreseeable future. As we mentioned on Friday, it looked like AMD

00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:10.759
was withholding those updates for RDNA 1 and 2 GPUs, which understandably stirred

00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:15.120
up a lot of backlash. Now, while AMD confirmed that the older cards will be

00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:20.760
on a separate driver branch than the latest hardware, they will also get bug

00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:24.320
fixes and security patches in addition to the game optimizations, leaving

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:28.840
everything pretty much how it was when this whole kerfuffle started.

00:02:26.920 --> 00:02:33.400
But, we all had fun, didn't we? Speaking of the latest hardware, AMD confirmed

00:02:30.880 --> 00:02:39.840
that its next-gen consumer CPUs built on the Zen 6 architecture will carry the

00:02:36.440 --> 00:02:42.880
code name Ryzen Medusa. Don't look at

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.200
it. Just put it in your computer.

00:02:42.880 --> 00:02:50.240
No eye contact. The launch of these chips is planned for the first half of

00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:52.320
2027. AMD is using the age-old technique

00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:58.240
of knocking us off balance with a barrage of conflicting news. AMD, what

00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:02.920
are you doing with your damn GPU driver Whoa, is that a new CPU?

00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:07.360
And I turn to stone. Google has removed its lightweight Gemma model from the

00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:12.560
company's AI Studio developer suite after it allegedly fabricated a news

00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:17.560
story about US Senator Marsha Blackburn being accused of sexual assault. Senator

00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:22.360
Blackburn wrote an angry letter to Google after reportedly seeing

00:03:19.600 --> 00:03:28.280
screenshots of the false news story posted online by developers asking Gemma

00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:31.040
about it in a closed developer environment.

00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:35.600
We haven't seen the screenshots themselves anywhere. She just said that

00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:40.440
she saw this online. In response, Google clarified that Gemma wasn't a public

00:03:37.760 --> 00:03:45.120
chatbot, but an experimental model only available to developers through AI

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:48.960
Studio and Vertex AI. It's not integrated into any of Google's

00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:53.200
public-facing services, like the Gemini assistant or Google AI mode.

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:57.280
Nevertheless, the tech giant quickly apologized and said it's tightening

00:03:55.440 --> 00:04:01.480
safeguards to prevent future hallucinations. And that's all it took.

00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:06.400
The hallucinations will be gone now. They just needed a sternly worded letter

00:04:03.320 --> 00:04:08.000
from a boomer Karen. Still, while one AI

00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:12.840
model was being grounded for bad behavior, another is about to get way

00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:17.480
more personal. Google executive Robby Stein says the company's upcoming AI

00:04:15.200 --> 00:04:21.480
model will know everything about you with plans to give your AI companion

00:04:19.400 --> 00:04:25.680
access to your Gmail and Google Drive, because nothing says trust quite like an

00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:29.000
assistant that can fact-check your inbox. But, do you want to know who you

00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:33.320
can really trust with your data? Our sponsor, DeleteMe, your personal data

00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:37.920
deletion specialist, which is a useful thing to have since data brokers already

00:04:35.760 --> 00:04:41.280
have your info unless you've avoided using the internet for the past couple

00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:46.760
decades, and this is the first video you've watched since 2004. I am honored.

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

00:04:48.640 --> 00:04:54.840
that DeleteMe has family plans now with easy-to-use, regularly scheduled

00:04:52.880 --> 00:04:58.920
personal data deletion requests and detailed reports for the whole squad.

00:04:57.440 --> 00:05:03.640
Head on over the video description and check out DeleteMe today. If energy

00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:06.960
can't be created or destroyed, then how did these Quick Bits pop into existence

00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:11.840
from nowhere? Hmm. Apple has finally launched its web

00:05:09.640 --> 00:05:16.120
version of the App Store, letting users browse, search, and even remotely

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:20.320
install apps to their iPhones and iPads directly from a desktop browser. The new

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:25.160
interface looks almost identical to the App Store app on Apple devices, offering

00:05:22.840 --> 00:05:29.280
a vast upgrade over the previous web-based App Store interface, which

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:33.560
only consisted of individual listings for apps but lacked other features, like

00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:38.040
a discover page or app management. The update allows weirdo PC users like me to

00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:43.280
have a peek into what life is like inside Apple's mysterious walled garden.

00:05:41.200 --> 00:05:47.960
Do they all sit in artisanal cafes dressed like Tim Cook to write their

00:05:45.440 --> 00:05:53.240
screenplays? I can't wait to find out. Proofpoint researchers say hackers are

00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:58.400
teaming up with organized crime rings to steal cargo by breaching trucking and

00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:02.920
logistics systems. By using stolen credentials and remote access tools,

00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:07.360
attackers are managing to hijack fleet dashboards, reroute shipments, and

00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:11.920
eventually steal entire shipping containers before anybody notices. The

00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:17.720
whole thing has a very Kim Possible man in the chair vibe.

00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:22.360
Shego, I mean. The attacks blur the line between cybercrime and Grand Theft Auto,

00:06:20.320 --> 00:06:26.560
literally, with hackers using fake fishing emails and pick-up orders

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

00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:34.520
Mann's 1981 masterpiece Thief, but there

00:06:32.400 --> 00:06:37.760
are way more computers and not nearly enough Willie Nelson. Unless he's also

00:06:36.440 --> 00:06:43.440
involved. No. Snapmaker's U1 3D printer is now

00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:47.880
officially on sale after becoming one of the most successful Kickstarters in

00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:52.160
history, pulling in 20 million USD in pre-orders. The hype is well deserved,

00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:56.960
largely thanks to its standout feature, the use of four independent extruders.

00:06:55.120 --> 00:07:01.600
And this design allows users to print in multiple colors by changing the actual

00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:05.520
toolhead, reducing wasted plastic and time.

00:07:03.320 --> 00:07:10.560
Wow. Combined with pricing starting at a very accessible $850,

00:07:08.760 --> 00:07:14.520
depending on your situation, it's easy to see why this launch has been massive.

00:07:13.200 --> 00:07:19.320
It's basically the 3D printing equivalent of a four-barrel carburetor.

00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:25.840
Only this one costs less to fill up. A comparison I understand. SpaceX is

00:07:21.960 --> 00:07:27.600
teaming up with a startup named BezZar.

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

00:07:30.200 --> 00:07:37.480
know. To mount semiconductor manufacturing modules on Falcon 9

00:07:34.880 --> 00:07:43.960
booster rockets, hoping the vacuum of space improves chip production. These

00:07:40.520 --> 00:07:46.920
fab ships will ride up, use the vacuum

00:07:43.960 --> 00:07:51.400
of space for ultra-clean fabrication, hoping that cosmic rays aren't an issue,

00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:57.920
and return with the booster in about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, NVIDIA just launched

00:07:54.120 --> 00:08:00.440
its powerhouse H100 GPU into orbit via a

00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:04.840
Starlink satellite to test running full-blown AI data centers in space

00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:08.200
instead of Earth. These billionaire
