1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:06,720
oh look at that there's oh there's tech news on the prompter is someone gonna do

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:09,519
that with something with that james we can't just leave it on there it's just

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:14,320
sitting there someone has to can i take these when

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:18,880
NVIDIA announced the rtx 3060 graphics card comes with a limiter that cuts its

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:23,840
ethereum mining efficiency in half and then called that limiter unhackable

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:27,519
that was a mistake because crypto miners immediately started trying to hack it

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:32,320
and this week it appeared that some had succeeded an image reposted from a thai

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:38,079
facebook group appeared to show a system with rtx 3060s mining away at the card's

9
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:41,360
full hash rate really what did NVIDIA expect that people would hear it's

10
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,559
unhackable and then be like oh okay i'll just pack up my things and go mine some

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:49,520
i'm just gonna go mine some gold for my xbox controller be right back okay well

12
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:54,719
actually hold on some savvy netizens quickly noted that the currency being

13
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:58,640
mined on these rtx 3060s was the altcoin

14
00:00:54,719 --> 00:01:00,559
conflux using the octopus algorithm

15
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:04,960
you know the one so it looks like the card's limiter hasn't been hacked yet

16
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,560
but at the same time i haven't had a shot at it yet so just you wait i'm just

17
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:12,880
gonna get my help a complaint has been lodged with french

18
00:01:10,479 --> 00:01:19,759
regulators over apple's new app tracking transparency feature in iOS 14.5

19
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:23,840
no which requires apps to obtain user consent before sharing their data with

20
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:29,119
third-party advertisers because french people apparently don't like to be

21
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,119
tracked by anyone

22
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:36,079
no this is the same policy facebook has been attacking apple over and while it

23
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:40,479
could protect users from third-party tracking it doesn't protect them from

24
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:44,640
apple which collects user data in order to serve targeted ads google's taking a

25
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:49,040
similar tack they'll soon be blocking third-party cookies in chrome while

26
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:53,280
still selling your data to advertisers themselves

27
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,320
how many languages do you know interestingly t-mobile announced

28
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:00,320
yesterday that they're going the opposite way if users don't opt out by

29
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:04,479
april 26th the carrier will automatically share their information

30
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,520
with advertisers okay cool but where's the option where i don't get tracked by

31
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:12,239
apple or google or t-mobile because i think

32
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:18,800
that involves moving into a cave in vermont living with bernie sanders

33
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:21,680
i got here he's got some more mittens

34
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:25,520
no internet here get out and microsoft was waiting on the approval of european

35
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:29,920
regulators to complete their acquisition of zenimax parent company of bethesda

36
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,360
and europe has just said it's okay go ahead

37
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,800
that's my that's the pan-european accent that's the one they all have microsoft and

38
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:42,800
bethesda both immediately started the celebrations releasing what is i guess

39
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:46,879
intended to be a touching video about the developers history and how far

40
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:50,160
they've come look at us we went from a little studio in someone's basement to

41
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:55,200
being sucked into one of the biggest conglomerates ever from skyrim to sky

42
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:58,800
with well hail father gates

43
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:03,599
of course microsoft also took the opportunity to finally divulge that yes

44
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:08,959
of course some bethesda titles will now be xbox exclusive are you dumb but it

45
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:14,879
also means more bethesda games on xbox game pass which is good i guess i'd

46
00:03:11,519 --> 00:03:17,360
rather a game pass than a game stop oh

47
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:22,239

bleed the company behind one of the og good gaming streaming services shadow

59
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:19,440
the company they're made of half vampires anyways they're filed for

60
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:23,600
bankruptcy the company's french server provider came calling for money owed to

61
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:27,600
them again with the french you know now blade is seeking outside investment to

62
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:30,639
stay afloat blade says the shadow streaming service shouldn't be affected

63
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:35,040
by these events and that they were a victim of their own success

64
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:41,120
as well as the french ASUS launched the rog phone 5 today complete with not one

65
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:44,240
but two usb ports and a whopping 18

66
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,840
gigabytes of lpddr5 RAM more than a

67
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:49,919
macbook yeah actually more phones with chunky

68
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:53,120
RAM might be on the way too as sk hynix is mass producing those 18 Gigabyte

69
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,720
modules which you're going to need to attend those fortnight concerts on

70
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:01,360
mobile with the 30 store high it's the 30 story high character models of the

71
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:05,899
current most popular rapper that's the baby

72
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,680
russia didn't like the way that twitter was allowing people to post horrible

73
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,240
things like spreading the word about opposition protests so the country tried

74
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:19,280
to throttle the social platform it appears they kind of bungled the

75
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,880
operation and ended up slowing down their entire internet instead that's not

76
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:27,120
russia see if twitter would just listen and

77
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:31,199
censor things the way russia wants they wouldn't have to skip out on nasa's moon

78
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:36,960
base and work with china on making their own moon base with space blackjack and

79
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:41,120
moon hookers actually it sounds great nfts or non-fungible tokens are all the

80
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:46,000
rage right now because they allow artists to sell digital art as if it's a

81
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:49,600
physical object sort of well users of the digital platform art station don't

82
00:05:47,919 --> 00:05:54,960
want in on the action as the platform was forced to backpedal on its plan to

83
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,639
implement an nfts after user backlash

84
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:00,639
maybe because the whole idea of them doesn't make any sense that's your mouth

85
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:04,880
but neither does paying 8 million for a would you pay 8 million for a freaking

86
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:09,600
painting oh Linus is a big fan i will sell the

87
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:12,720
original Linus face meme picture okay now they make sense they make a lot of

88
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:17,680
sense i don't even know if lettuce has the rights to that yeah what and htc has

89
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:21,919
announced the new facial tracker for its vive vr headset which will allow users

90
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:26,960
to map their mouth movements onto digital avatars in vr so v tubers can

91
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:31,600
seem a little more like they're a real life anime girl and this is a timeline

92
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:35,440
we all want to live in right real fake girl

93
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:40,080
htc has also announced smaller and lighter vive trackers for 129 but if

94
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:45,360
that's too much you can also check out the open source stunks body trackers

95
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:49,199
made by a swedish teen for about 80 bucks that's where i'm putting my money

96
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:52,400
i think it's a good investment time to stop putting more tech news in this

97
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:55,840
video because it's over come back on friday for more tech news i'm sure there
