00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.040
it's november 12th a federal holiday in the u.s and canada but the tech news

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:10.800
must go on tech news it's got no respect for the troops i do

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:15.040
but i serve the tech news i have no choice it's horrible but what

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:20.000
would be truly horrible is if this leak about a new valve vr headset turned out

00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:21.840
to not be true yes photos were shared to

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:25.519
imger over the weekend of a prototype head mounted display apparently being

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:30.480
worked on at valve the anonymous source of the photos told upload vr that it

00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:34.960
will have a 135 degree field of view and vive pro resolution similar to the htc

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:39.360
vive this prototype has integrated headphones and steamvr infrared tracking

00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:42.879
points but it also has two cameras on the lower front side this is the first

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:48.000
we've seen of a headset being worked on at valve although they've been pretty upfront about the development of their

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:51.840
upcoming knuckles controllers for vr the valve rumor mill has been sent into

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:56.840
overdrive with speculation that this vr headset and the controllers will launch

00:00:53.520 --> 00:01:00.719
with a new half-life game designed for

00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:02.800
vr no actually sadly it might apparently

00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:07.520
be a prequel not the half-life 3 we're all waiting for or the one i'm waiting

00:01:04.960 --> 00:01:09.840
for at least i'm sure many of you have given up hope

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:14.640
well let this leak be the spark that ignites

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:18.799
the fire that will burn the first order down

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:22.320
preach it riley thank you speaking of burning things down apple is setting

00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:26.320
fire to third-party attempts at repairing its products as the company

00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:31.360
has confirmed that the security focused t2 chip present in its new max prevents

00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:36.240
the machines from booting if it detects hardware from an unauthorized source

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:39.920
this tactic effectively locks out third party repairs if they don't use apple

00:01:37.759 --> 00:01:44.000
certified components but apple has taken more steps to lock users into their

00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:47.759
repair ecosystem a new deal with amazon won't just see the online marketplace

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:52.320
carry current gen flagships now previously amazon was limited to past

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:55.920
gen iphones and macbooks but amazon is also telling independent product

00:01:53.759 --> 00:02:00.159
refurbishers that only authorized resellers will be able to sell apple

00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:03.200
products so it looks like rather than responding to user criticism by being a

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:09.840
little more lacks with its repair policies apple has doubled down and

00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.840
closed off their ecosystem even further

00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:26.560
saturday first off keyboard and mouse support is coming to 14 titles on the

00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:31.040
console this wednesday including fortnite warframe and warhammer

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:35.040
vermintide 2. microsoft pledged to make the microsoft store better tailored

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.840
towards gamers so you're going to delete it then i guess

00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:45.920
there's a bunch of other game news mostly about existing games coming to xbox or xbox game pass but the really

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:51.040
interesting bit of news was microsoft's acquisition of rpg developers obsidian

00:02:48.239 --> 00:02:55.120
entertainment and in exile entertainment could microsoft compete with sony's

00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:57.840
excellent list of exclusives well i mean

00:02:56.239 --> 00:03:04.440
given the company's history with studios that it acquires probably

00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:04.440
probably not they still got halo though

00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:11.599
it's time for quick bits brought to you today by private internet access pia is

00:03:09.519 --> 00:03:15.360
a vpn that lets you dial in the exact level of privacy protection you need

00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:19.280
with support for a variety of protocols and types of encryption there are pia

00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:24.000
apps for Windows macOS Android Linux and google chrome with dns and ipv6 leak

00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:28.480
protection and an internet kill switch that will block all traffic if the vpn

00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:32.000
becomes disconnected protect yourself and those you love

00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:36.000
check out pia at the link below now because i just bashed apple in the

00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:39.120
interest of fairness i now have to say that they did admit that the iphone 10

00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:43.440
is having touch screen issues and the 13-inch macbook pro is having data loss

00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:47.920
issues and both devices can be repaired for free at an apple retail location or

00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:50.959
an apple authorized service provider and nowhere else

00:03:49.440 --> 00:03:55.120
new information has come to light about samsung's foldable phone that it half

00:03:52.959 --> 00:04:01.439
unveiled last week apparently it's known as the galaxy f for foldable and will

00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:03.680
retail for around 1 770 us dollars when

00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:07.360
it launches in march but which frankly is not surprising it's a new technology

00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:12.480
and a flashy one at that but if you want to spend more for a different folding

00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:14.720
phone you can buy samsung's w2019 a flip

00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:19.759
phone with the top end snapdragon 845 inside and two 4.2 inch amoled screens

00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:24.240
or you could get a oneplus 6t if you're a normal human the fallout 76

00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:28.080
beta is over and if after playing you've decided the game isn't for you you might

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:31.520
want to uninstall well you can't do it through the games uninstaller because it

00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:34.720
doesn't work it's not a huge issue you can just install it the normal way just

00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:39.759
another problem with the game we thought we'd mention since it's basically been

00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:44.160
a crap show so far also the game's day one patch when it does launch will be

00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:47.600
bigger than the game itself so someone please help bethesda with this

00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:53.120
stuff they're having a tough time the dubai police force is now training using

00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:55.280
hoverbikes aka human-sized drones this

00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:58.639
is super cool but also could they not put some propeller guards on that thing

00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:02.000
kudos to dubai for doing things with their exorbitant amounts of money so

00:05:00.479 --> 00:05:05.520
that the rest of us don't have to and this isn't tech news but what the heck a

00:05:03.919 --> 00:05:08.840
trailer has come out for the first live-action pokemon movie and it's

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:14.160
detective pikachu with ryan reynolds as the title

00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:17.759
character and kind of creepy realistic cgi pokemon is this real life

00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:22.000
no it's a movie but is this real life

00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:27.360
still no youtube video try again no i won't

00:05:24.960 --> 00:05:31.120
because this episode is over thanks for watching kids hope you had a nice stat

00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:34.080
holiday and come on back on wednesday because you know we'll have more tech

00:05:33.039 --> 00:05:39.800
news i mean you don't know but

00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:39.800
it's a reasonable assumption
