1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:07,040
tech news doesn't matter this is what a ding-dong would say

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,000
not me it seemed like americans were done freaking out about the fact that

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:16,880
unreasonably popular social media app tick-tock is owned by chinese company

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:22,160
bite dance but just like emperor palpatine somehow the controversy

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:26,640
returned on friday tick tock announced that the data of users in the u.s is now

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:31,439
being stored on oracle's american cloud servers by default but on the same day

7
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:35,760
buzzfeed news reported that according to leaked audio from 80 internal meetings

8
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:40,879
bite dance employees in china had repeatedly accessed u.s user data the

9
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:45,520
report conflicts with tick tock's claims that sure backups of u.s user data were

10
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:49,600
stored outside the u.s but they don't look at that data and they certainly

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:53,840
don't give it to the chinese government they wouldn't want it anyways they're

12
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:58,879
super chill responding to the report tiktok admitted that yes of course some

13
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:03,199
high-level admins sometimes have to access that data but the company's goal

14
00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:07,280
is limiting the number of employees who have access to user data and the

15
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:13,360
scenarios in which data access is enabled so instead of picturing a bunch

16
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:17,759
of scary ccp stooges reading your dms picture like ah two or three guys

17
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:22,880
they're really good guys you should all go for lunch sometime meta ceo mark

18
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:27,840
zuckerberg has shown off a cornucopia of prototype vr headsets as a demonstration

19
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:33,040
of the advances in technology necessary for metaverse tech to pass the visual

20
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:37,520
turing test which i'm guessing is a test that makes it hard to distinguish

21
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:40,159
virtual reality from reality reality is

22
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:44,240
zuck talking about vr ever going to not be creepy i feel like he wants to suck

23
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:47,520
me into the virtual world for nefarious purposes or just because he wants a

24
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:52,159
friend anyways it is actually kind of cool to see the different avenues that the

25
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:56,240
company formerly known as facebook is pursuing even if the goal is obviously

26
00:01:54,079 --> 00:02:01,119
to get people to spend too much money on purchasing digital versions of designer

27
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:05,920
clothes by balenciaga and prada which they announced today

28
00:02:03,119 --> 00:02:09,440
guys they're even more overpriced than the real stuff burying your money in the

29
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:14,720
ground would be more financially advisable this is not financial advice

30
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:19,440
by the way just tech news and more good news for pc builders as german

31
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:25,040
enthusiasts cite 3d center has confirmed that prices of current gen gaming gpus

32
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,599
in germany and austria have on average

33
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:32,720
come back down to msrp after spiking as high as 318

34
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,519
back in may 2021. uh i remember that time a lot of good

35
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:39,920
people didn't have gpus Radeon rx 6000 cards

36
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:44,400
have actually dipped around eight percent lower than msrp GeForce rtx 30

37
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,760
series cards are sitting at around two percent above

38
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:51,360
and the forecast actually is continuing to look rosy with crypto miners

39
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:56,480
continuing to sell up their gpus and defunct system builder artesian builds

40
00:02:54,080 --> 00:03:00,879
starting to auction off thousands of pc components which it never had the right

41
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,560
to in the first place for those who worry they might never

42
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:09,599
turn their graphic settings up again lift your eyes to the horizon it's

54
00:03:53,519 --> 00:03:59,040
other people leaked photos of an AMD presentation indicate that team red is

55
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:04,080
planning to launch their first ryzen 7000 processors and am5 motherboards on

56
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:08,799
september 15th they're supposedly pretty good compared to Intel's 12th gen chips

57
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:14,400
but rumors have also pointed to Intel releasing their 13th gen raptor lake

58
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,880
processors in the second half of 2022

59
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:20,479
which i'm pretty sure includes september fingers crossed for another global

60
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:23,360
crisis to not hit before that happens we've had quite enough of those thank

61
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:28,800
you very much after a google engineer sparked a debate

62
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:31,360
over ai sentience last week a techno

63
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:36,720
philosopher has told pc gamer that he believes even video game npcs could one

64
00:04:34,479 --> 00:04:40,639
day be conscious in which case they would have real lives and deserve rights

65
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:45,759
okay counterpoint what if we intentionally

66
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:50,000
don't make npcs conscious since they are currently being subjected to constant

67
00:04:47,919 --> 00:04:53,759
virtual genocide and shooter games we just turn down the consciousness dial

68
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:58,160
when we make those ones right here it makes sense speaking of shooters the

69
00:04:55,759 --> 00:05:02,080
developers of call of duty's anti-cheat software ricochet have unveiled the

70
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:06,960
latest trick warzone is playing on cheaters making their guns disappear oh

71
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:10,960
maybe they could get into some cheaty fist fights nope

72
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:15,280
they take their fists away too after all if your hand causes you to sin chop it

73
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:19,520
off a little excessive for real life but just add in a video game to the end and

74
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:23,520
actually is pretty reasonable recycling electronics is notoriously difficult

75
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,720
which is especially sad in a world swimming in them but japanese

76
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:31,600
researchers have discovered that prussian blue a synthetic pigment used

77
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:36,560
by artists and scientists because of its ability to trap metal ions can extract

78
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:41,440
gold and platinum from e-waste much more efficiently than current methods meaning

79
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:45,759
we could maybe ease back on the digging so deep down into the earth thing you

80
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,960
know there could be balrogs down there we don't know

81
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:53,759
and humanity's great project of running doom on literally everything has reached

82
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:59,039
a new milestone modder james brown has created a lego brick with an embedded

83
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:04,720
monitor on which he has managed to run a ridiculously blurry instance of the

84
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:06,800
classic shooter game at 72 by 40

85
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:10,639
resolution but pixels don't matter it's what's in here that matters and in here

86
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:14,720
i know we're going to be able to run doom on the surface of the sun one day

87
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:18,319
we'll get there and we have gotten to the end of this episode so come back on

88
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:24,160
wednesday for more tech news which you can watch on any dang screen you want

89
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:27,520
come on get creative

splash some paint
