00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:07.040
tech news doesn't matter this is what a ding-dong would say

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:12.000
not me it seemed like americans were done freaking out about the fact that

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:16.880
unreasonably popular social media app tick-tock is owned by chinese company

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:22.160
bite dance but just like emperor palpatine somehow the controversy

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

00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:31.439
being stored on oracle's american cloud servers by default but on the same day

00:00:29.279 --> 00:00:35.760
buzzfeed news reported that according to leaked audio from 80 internal meetings

00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:40.879
bite dance employees in china had repeatedly accessed u.s user data the

00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:45.520
report conflicts with tick tock's claims that sure backups of u.s user data were

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:49.600
stored outside the u.s but they don't look at that data and they certainly

00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:53.840
don't give it to the chinese government they wouldn't want it anyways they're

00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:58.879
super chill responding to the report tiktok admitted that yes of course some

00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:03.199
high-level admins sometimes have to access that data but the company's goal

00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:07.280
is limiting the number of employees who have access to user data and the

00:01:05.199 --> 00:01:13.360
scenarios in which data access is enabled so instead of picturing a bunch

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:17.759
of scary ccp stooges reading your dms picture like ah two or three guys

00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:22.880
they're really good guys you should all go for lunch sometime meta ceo mark

00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:27.840
zuckerberg has shown off a cornucopia of prototype vr headsets as a demonstration

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:33.040
of the advances in technology necessary for metaverse tech to pass the visual

00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:37.520
turing test which i'm guessing is a test that makes it hard to distinguish

00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:40.159
virtual reality from reality reality is

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

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:47.520
me into the virtual world for nefarious purposes or just because he wants a

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:52.159
friend anyways it is actually kind of cool to see the different avenues that the

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:56.240
company formerly known as facebook is pursuing even if the goal is obviously

00:01:54.079 --> 00:02:01.119
to get people to spend too much money on purchasing digital versions of designer

00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:05.920
clothes by balenciaga and prada which they announced today

00:02:03.119 --> 00:02:09.440
guys they're even more overpriced than the real stuff burying your money in the

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:14.720
ground would be more financially advisable this is not financial advice

00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:19.440
by the way just tech news and more good news for pc builders as german

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:25.040
enthusiasts cite 3d center has confirmed that prices of current gen gaming gpus

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:27.599
in germany and austria have on average

00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:32.720
come back down to msrp after spiking as high as 318

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:35.519
back in may 2021. uh i remember that time a lot of good

00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:39.920
people didn't have gpus Radeon rx 6000 cards

00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:44.400
have actually dipped around eight percent lower than msrp GeForce rtx 30

00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:47.760
series cards are sitting at around two percent above

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:51.360
and the forecast actually is continuing to look rosy with crypto miners

00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:56.480
continuing to sell up their gpus and defunct system builder artesian builds

00:02:54.080 --> 00:03:00.879
starting to auction off thousands of pc components which it never had the right

00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:04.560
to in the first place for those who worry they might never

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:09.599
turn their graphic settings up again lift your eyes to the horizon it's

00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:13.200

00:03:53.519 --> 00:03:59.040
other people leaked photos of an AMD presentation indicate that team red is

00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:04.080
planning to launch their first ryzen 7000 processors and am5 motherboards on

00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:08.799
september 15th they're supposedly pretty good compared to Intel's 12th gen chips

00:04:06.239 --> 00:04:14.400
but rumors have also pointed to Intel releasing their 13th gen raptor lake

00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:16.880
processors in the second half of 2022

00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:20.479
which i'm pretty sure includes september fingers crossed for another global

00:04:18.320 --> 00:04:23.360
crisis to not hit before that happens we've had quite enough of those thank

00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:28.800
you very much after a google engineer sparked a debate

00:04:25.440 --> 00:04:31.360
over ai sentience last week a techno

00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:36.720
philosopher has told pc gamer that he believes even video game npcs could one

00:04:34.479 --> 00:04:40.639
day be conscious in which case they would have real lives and deserve rights

00:04:39.520 --> 00:04:45.759
okay counterpoint what if we intentionally

00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:50.000
don't make npcs conscious since they are currently being subjected to constant

00:04:47.919 --> 00:04:53.759
virtual genocide and shooter games we just turn down the consciousness dial

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:58.160
when we make those ones right here it makes sense speaking of shooters the

00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:02.080
developers of call of duty's anti-cheat software ricochet have unveiled the

00:05:00.320 --> 00:05:06.960
latest trick warzone is playing on cheaters making their guns disappear oh

00:05:05.280 --> 00:05:10.960
maybe they could get into some cheaty fist fights nope

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

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

00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:23.520
actually is pretty reasonable recycling electronics is notoriously difficult

00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:26.720
which is especially sad in a world swimming in them but japanese

00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:31.600
researchers have discovered that prussian blue a synthetic pigment used

00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:36.560
by artists and scientists because of its ability to trap metal ions can extract

00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:41.440
gold and platinum from e-waste much more efficiently than current methods meaning

00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:45.759
we could maybe ease back on the digging so deep down into the earth thing you

00:05:43.520 --> 00:05:48.960
know there could be balrogs down there we don't know

00:05:46.880 --> 00:05:53.759
and humanity's great project of running doom on literally everything has reached

00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:59.039
a new milestone modder james brown has created a lego brick with an embedded

00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:04.720
monitor on which he has managed to run a ridiculously blurry instance of the

00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:06.800
classic shooter game at 72 by 40

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

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

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

00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:24.160
wednesday for more tech news which you can watch on any dang screen you want

00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:27.520
come on get creative

00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.520
splash some paint
