00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:07.680
you might think this is a show about tech news well think again buddy because

00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:11.440
clearly you've got a talent for thinking correctly

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:15.679
nice job huawei sometimes i feel bad for the chinese

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:19.680
tech giant like all they want to do is roll out 5g technology to everybody why

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:25.920
is the us and australia and europe treating them like they're spying for the chinese government and then huawei

00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:28.400
goes and spies on apple allegedly a

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:32.079
report from the information.com details first-person accounts of huawei

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:36.000
attempting to steal and reverse engineer the design for the heart rate sensor

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:39.840
used in the apple watch a number of manufacturers reportedly refused to

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:43.840
manufacture the part for huawei because they recognized the component another

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:47.520
story involves a former apple employee being repeatedly asked about upcoming

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:52.079
apple products and features while interviewing for a job at huawei now

00:00:50.239 --> 00:00:57.680
some might hear news like this and think hey that's just business okay

00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:58.480
that's just how it goes others might ask

00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:03.280
why why why

00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:07.760
the world is about to see a lot of folding and bendable devices and tcl is

00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:11.920
looking to get ahead of the curve by patenting a bending phone that can roll

00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:15.760
up around your wrist like those slap bracelets did you ever did you ever have

00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:20.799
one of those dennis the slap no the ones were like oh yes yeah

00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:23.840
there i knew it slap bracelets

00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:28.640
no tcl a company known for making displays

00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:32.240
smartphones and tvs actually patented four other folding designs as well that

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:36.640
look more like the other concepts that we've seen from samsung xiaomi and

00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:40.240
others the phone bracelet design stands out a little maybe that's because it

00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:44.400
looks very similar to lenovo's concept phone from 2016. i don't know i think

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:47.119
i'd prefer to just wear a smartwatch or to just like embed the phone in my

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:51.040
actual skin or something you know something simple and this isn't exactly

00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:55.040
tech news but i've been following the hype around bioware's anthem throughout

00:01:53.119 --> 00:02:00.799
its development and now that the game is out for some people who bought it anyway

00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:04.560
i can truly let myself feel the disappointment reviews are saying the

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:08.479
game has some really cool elements like the first few hours of combat and flying

00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:12.480
are fun but the game feels like it was designed by executives who tried to tick

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:15.840
off all the boxes for game features they think the kids like nowadays if you

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:20.160
don't want to be thrust into the game's final mission long before you're ready

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:24.959
stay away from quick play and the story the main reason i was even excited for

00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:28.879
this game is apparently a thin shadow of the quality found in mass effect and

00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:33.360
dragon age and if you don't want to miss important cutscenes or dialogue thanks

00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:37.840
to the game's ubiquitous loading screens forbes even recommends playing it solo

00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:43.920
what did you do to bioware ea what did you do but people also said

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:49.760
stuff like this about destiny 2 when it came out so i don't know we'll see what happens it's time for quick bits brought

00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:54.400

day a little smarter huh what's that no

00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:32.319
i can't i'm busy doing quick bits NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce gtx 1660 ti

00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:36.799
has been spotted in results from the final fantasy 15 benchmark which always

00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:41.599
seems to come up before a major GPU launches the new card's performance is

00:03:38.799 --> 00:03:47.200
apparently better than the gtx 1070 and only just slightly behind the gtx titan

00:03:44.640 --> 00:03:53.840
x although that is the maxwell titan x from four years ago still if the 1660 ti

00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:56.000
launches at its rumored price of 279 u.s

00:03:53.840 --> 00:04:00.239
it would be a heck of a value i sincerely doubt that will be the price

00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:04.959
though team green loves its green a little too much you get that green

00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:09.519
loves it team team green they love the benjamins call

00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:14.480
it a sign of the times samsung has said it will stop production of 1080p and 4k

00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:18.720
blu-ray players in the u.s following similar news from oppo previous reports

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:24.000
that said samsung was making a new high-end 4k blu-ray player for 2019 but

00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:28.880
that has since been scrapped and so begins the long slow death of discs

00:04:27.440 --> 00:04:32.720
i might be wrong but at the same time you can't very well

00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:36.400
play frisbee with a netflix subscription to my

00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:41.280
discs an fcc filing shows that motorola's upcoming 5g moto mod

00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:45.919
attachment for the moto z3 has sensors other phones have sensors the

00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:50.240
moto z3 has sensors they're to detect whether your fingers are covering the

00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:54.320
device's millimeter wave antenna if it detects your digits it will disable the

00:04:52.400 --> 00:04:59.600
module that's being blocked to prevent radiation exposure except

00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:04.000
all 5g devices are supposed to operate within

00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:05.600
acceptable radiation limits so

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:11.280
why do we need this i've been following the development of the smok z handheld Windows gaming

00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:16.080
system for a time and a new set of videos now show that the device is

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:20.000
coming along the demos show the smoxy playing starcraft 2 left 4 dead and

00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:23.360
other games pretty well it's taken them years but at least they're spending more

00:05:21.520 --> 00:05:28.800
time on the product itself than they apparently spent on the name

00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:31.199
smock really and microsoft knows it

00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:34.320
screwed up the Windows 10 october update now it wants to get ahead of any

00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:39.280
problems that might come up for future updates and i mean the future microsoft

00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:45.120
is currently testing a Windows 10 build slated for a 2020 release so if there's

00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:49.680
still bugs by the time that comes out i might be tempted to switch to macOS

00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:54.240
no no and now i'm tempted to end this episode

00:05:52.960 --> 00:05:57.759
and i must give in to temptation unfortunately

00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:04.240
because it's over thanks for watching guys and come back on wednesday for more

00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:06.880
