oh yeah sure you think when i woke up this morning that i thought huh i'm
gonna do the tech news today like
that hit me in the face how much storage is enough for a laptop you think 500
gigs oh what that's too much well for the more
storage hungry among you eurocom has expanded the options available for its
built-to-order laptops so you can order a laptop with up to 28 terabytes of
storage the company has two 17.3 inch models the sky x9c and the tornado f7w
which sports three m.2 ssd slots and two
two and a half inch bays for ssds or hard drives eurocom will let you fill
out those m.2 slots with four terabytes severant rocket drives
sabrina are they i thought i said it wrong and the sata
bays with micron eight terabyte ssds now
james i'm no math whiz but that's 28. you'll probably want to
do some math yourself to figure out if you can afford this beast though because
that storage alone will cost you ten thousand seven hundred dollars with a
complete high-end configuration costing twenty thousand five hundred dollars why
don't i just get a mac pro on that you can't take that with you
i mean if you if you got the guns maybe
for a while there the u.s took a little break in its war on huawei you know like
things seemed kind of smooth everything seemed fine then earlier this
week america claimed it had evidence that huawei spies on people that used
the company's equipment and yesterday the department of justice officially
filed new charges against huawei for racketeering conspiracy and conspiracy
to steal trade secrets who are among the dependents well james among the
defendants named are the company's cfo wan zhu meng who was arrested in
vancouver over a year ago the indictment states that huawei has stolen
intellectual property from other companies for years and even had an
official program that rewarded their employees for stealing other company's
secrets huawei has of course denied all the allegations and has pointed out that
the us itself hasn't exactly been blameless when it comes to spying ever
heard of joseph gordon levitt i mean that doesn't make it okay
but they made a movie about and 3d printing is cool but it can take hours
to print stuff even something as simple as a life-sized replica of sonic the
hedgehog well long prints might be a thing of the past as french researchers
have discovered a new method that can produce detailed objects in seconds
bam while traditional 3d printing renders objects layer by layer the new
method involves shooting lasers in a specific configuration at a container
full of resin which hardens into the shape being projected into it
sounds delicious because the technique can be used with a number of materials
like liquid plastic or biological gel it has applications for printing
prosthetics like hearing aids or for creating models based on medical scans
extremely quickly for surgeons you know they can be this is what we're looking
at these are just better now it's time for

shh it's fine they just are
after microsoft was awarded a contract to provide cloud services to the
pentagon amazon who was previously favored to win the contract filed a
motion challenging the award in response to that motion a judge has now put a
temporary block on the government's decision as they investigate amazon says
they were denied the contract due to president trump's hatred of jeff bezos
bezos and if they don't win it bezos won't be able to buy another yacht and
he just needs one more to be happy let him live come on the nintendo
playstation is actually not something i just made up it's a console that sony
and nintendo made together in 1988 when they were buddies i guess and it's being
auctioned off right now with bids reaching 350 000
one of the top bidders is oculus founder palmer lucky who apparently hasn't been
in the news for a while he needs to come back who says the consul would be better
off in his personal game collection than in a museum do we need to get embiamba
jones in here come on palmer because he
says the line he says it it belongs a museum
hey something else to talk about did you
hear about the guy who bought the used tesla that was equipped with full self-driving but then tesla removed the
feature after he bought it nose driving did you hear about it yeah well well
people obviously thought it was a shady move so tesla has reinstated the
features on the used car it's reassuring to anyone thinking about buying a used
tesla but also a sucky reminder that we don't really own anything we have
anymore except clothes you get from ltd stores i was
gonna take that another flaw in intel processors has
been found this time in the firmware of the company's converged security and
management engine or csme don't know what that is
me neither but it could allow privilege escalation denial of service and data
leaks if exploited thankfully the newest processors aren't vulnerable and patches
are available so update your electronics and a former
waymo contractor who is apparently unhappy about being fired for unsafe
behavior swerved his car in front of a waymo vehicle i'll prove you right
exactly and then he hit the brakes forcing the waymo to hit him now i don't
know whether he was trying to make waymo look bad or get a settlement but he ended up getting arrested because the
thing about self-driving cars is they can sense disgruntledness
gotta avoid it alright that's enough of this guys come back on monday for more
tech news and in the meantime i don't know watch a channel super fun or
something i think there's a new one out how about that short circuit is that out
too everything's out oh it's all out at the same time
