00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:08.880
whoa looks like you're dangerously low on your supply of tech news

00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:12.800
let me top that up korea i love to help oh apple and google are working on

00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:17.039
contract tracing together this could solve kovit for good

00:00:14.799 --> 00:00:21.439
well hold on a second there sparky turns out not everyone is super jazzed about

00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:25.760
the two tech giants working together to track coronavirus infections through

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:30.400
bluetooth exchanges between our phones as wired points out despite the system

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:35.280
being designed to keep everyone as anonymous as possible the whole idea is

00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:40.320
centered around identifying people who get diagnosed with kovid and the people

00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:44.719
they have interacted with recently that straight up makes our digital lives

00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:49.200
inherently less private there's also potential security risks if hackers find

00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:54.719
out which bluetooth identifiers correspond with which user leading to

00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:58.800
so-called linkage attacks and besides all that questions remain about whether

00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:02.320
bluetooth contact tracing will even work at all

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:07.040
because once the API is actually completed it will have to be integrated

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:10.720
into apps downloaded by people who will also have to update their phones to make

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:15.119
it work and assuming the false positive rate isn't through the roof users

00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:18.880
potentially exposed to infected people will have to get tested for kovid which

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:22.960
isn't exactly easy in many parts of the world obviously we're not trying to poo

00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:26.400
poo the whole endeavor and say it's doomed only that there are some major

00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:30.720
hurdles to leap over but if you are worried about

00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:35.840
your privacy you already know what can help hashtags stay home baby sales of

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:40.560
the nintendo switch have skyrocketed as people try to find things to do while

00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:45.439
staying home and price gougers have capitalized on the opportunity by

00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:49.920
using bots to automatically buy up stock as soon as it's available well one

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:55.360
intrepid imgur user refused to participate in that nonsense and built

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:58.880
their own nintendo switch from scratch well

00:01:56.240 --> 00:02:03.840
not quite from scratch the user sarbaz 37 bought individual u-switched

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:08.319
components on craigslist and ebay and assembled them into a working swish

00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:13.520
while legit models are going for anywhere between 450 to 600 dollars

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:18.959
right now this frankenswitch cost about 200 dollars to make well done sarbas37

00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:24.000
you're a quarantine inspiration to us all i hope you gave those parts a good wipe

00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:30.400
down and chinese company chuwi has listed a business focused compact pc

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:31.440
that's hiding an xbox one s inside

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:37.599
well not really see tech radar says chewie

00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:40.000
told them that their aerobox pc is built

00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:47.120
around the xbox one s motherboard and a previously unseen AMD a9 9820 CPU the

00:02:44.959 --> 00:02:53.200
GPU from the xbox one s has apparently been disabled and replaced with the

00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:55.519
Radeon r7 350 but see unlike the xbox

00:02:53.200 --> 00:03:00.480
one s the motherboard in the aero box has four upgradeable dimm slots for RAM

00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:05.040
and the io layout on the back is completely different from

00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:09.760
microsoft's console while the CPU has some similarities to the xbox one s's

00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:13.840
chip there's no evidence that it's the same chip we're not sure why chewie

00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:19.840
would make the claim that this is an xbox one s inside a pc but hey

00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.840
they got us talking about it so

00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:25.440
dang it now it's time for the quick bits brought to you by private internet

00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:30.720
access pia is the vpn with over 3 000 servers

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:35.680
in 32 countries pia lets you mask your ip address and encrypts traffic to and

00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:40.400
from your device when combined with private browsing you can make websites

00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:45.280
think that you're in a different country joke's on them pi has configurable

00:03:42.959 --> 00:03:49.599
encryption and an internet kill switch so you can stay in control of your

00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:54.319
connection trying pia is risk-free with their 7-day money-back guarantee they've

got clients for Windows macOS Android iOS and Linux with support for up to

00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:03.599
five devices at once so check them out at the link below quick bits

00:04:01.519 --> 00:04:08.319
didn't see that coming amazon has had their french warehouses shut down by the

00:04:06.239 --> 00:04:14.080
french government after the company did not comply with an order to stop selling

00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:15.680
all non-essential supplies in france

00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:20.799
amazon distribution centers in the country must now remain closed until

00:04:17.919 --> 00:04:25.360
april 20th while the company thinks about what they've done that's right

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:28.800
france just gave amazon a time out you know sometimes

00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:33.840
europe's pretty cool facial recognition company clearview ai has had

00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:38.720
another data breach this time leaving its source code cloud storage

00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:40.800
credentials and in-house apps exposed in

00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:45.919
a public server this is the company that says it can store identifiable pictures

00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:50.160
of absolutely everyone's face i think they may taking their name a

00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:54.400
little too literally spacex has scheduled the launch of their crew

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:58.400
dragon spacecraft for may 27th this would be the first time that astronauts

00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:03.520
have blasted off from american soil in nearly a decade one can only hope it's

00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:08.560
not one of elon musk's crazy pranks that guy is so hard to read facebook's libra

00:05:06.080 --> 00:05:13.840
has slowly shriveled from a grandiose idea for the future of cryptocurrency to

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:18.479
what is essentially facebook's paypal instead of being a single universal

00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:22.240
currency libra will now be tied to various local currencies making it not

00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:27.280
that much different from your garden variety online payment network

00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:31.360
they almost got there until someone said the word

00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:33.840
facebook and samsung's lifestyle tvs

00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:39.280
will be packaged in cardboard that can be repurposed into various household

00:05:36.320 --> 00:05:41.039
items like a magazine holder or a cat house

00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:46.960
because that's more sustainable until you have to eventually get rid of it because

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:50.800
it's cardboard and i mean cats don't need one more thing to ignore

00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:55.360
you know i'm ignoring the fact that i want to continue this episode because

00:05:53.280 --> 00:05:58.560
it's over come on back on monday for more tech news

00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:04.080
and uh in the meantime i'm going to find out which box i fits in and sits in

00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:07.600
this is uh oddly dirty riley i don't think you meant

00:06:05.840 --> 00:06:10.560
to say it like that well it's done
