oh look at that there's oh there's tech news on the prompter is someone gonna do
that with something with that james we can't just leave it on there it's just
sitting there someone has to can i take these when
NVIDIA announced the rtx 3060 graphics card comes with a limiter that cuts its
ethereum mining efficiency in half and then called that limiter unhackable
that was a mistake because crypto miners immediately started trying to hack it
and this week it appeared that some had succeeded an image reposted from a thai
facebook group appeared to show a system with rtx 3060s mining away at the card's
full hash rate really what did NVIDIA expect that people would hear it's
unhackable and then be like oh okay i'll just pack up my things and go mine some
i'm just gonna go mine some gold for my xbox controller be right back okay well
actually hold on some savvy netizens quickly noted that the currency being
mined on these rtx 3060s was the altcoin
conflux using the octopus algorithm
you know the one so it looks like the card's limiter hasn't been hacked yet
but at the same time i haven't had a shot at it yet so just you wait i'm just
gonna get my help a complaint has been lodged with french
regulators over apple's new app tracking transparency feature in iOS 14.5
no which requires apps to obtain user consent before sharing their data with
third-party advertisers because french people apparently don't like to be
tracked by anyone
no this is the same policy facebook has been attacking apple over and while it
could protect users from third-party tracking it doesn't protect them from
apple which collects user data in order to serve targeted ads google's taking a
similar tack they'll soon be blocking third-party cookies in chrome while
still selling your data to advertisers themselves
how many languages do you know interestingly t-mobile announced
yesterday that they're going the opposite way if users don't opt out by
april 26th the carrier will automatically share their information
with advertisers okay cool but where's the option where i don't get tracked by
apple or google or t-mobile because i think
that involves moving into a cave in vermont living with bernie sanders
i got here he's got some more mittens
no internet here get out and microsoft was waiting on the approval of european
regulators to complete their acquisition of zenimax parent company of bethesda
and europe has just said it's okay go ahead
that's my that's the pan-european accent that's the one they all have microsoft and
bethesda both immediately started the celebrations releasing what is i guess
intended to be a touching video about the developers history and how far
they've come look at us we went from a little studio in someone's basement to
being sucked into one of the biggest conglomerates ever from skyrim to sky
with well hail father gates
of course microsoft also took the opportunity to finally divulge that yes
of course some bethesda titles will now be xbox exclusive are you dumb but it
also means more bethesda games on xbox game pass which is good i guess i'd
rather a game pass than a game stop oh

bleed the company behind one of the og good gaming streaming services shadow
the company they're made of half vampires anyways they're filed for
bankruptcy the company's french server provider came calling for money owed to
them again with the french you know now blade is seeking outside investment to
stay afloat blade says the shadow streaming service shouldn't be affected
by these events and that they were a victim of their own success
as well as the french ASUS launched the rog phone 5 today complete with not one
but two usb ports and a whopping 18
gigabytes of lpddr5 RAM more than a

modules which you're going to need to attend those fortnight concerts on
mobile with the 30 store high it's the 30 story high character models of the

russia didn't like the way that twitter was allowing people to post horrible
things like spreading the word about opposition protests so the country tried
to throttle the social platform it appears they kind of bungled the
operation and ended up slowing down their entire internet instead that's not
russia see if twitter would just listen and
censor things the way russia wants they wouldn't have to skip out on nasa's moon
base and work with china on making their own moon base with space blackjack and
moon hookers actually it sounds great nfts or non-fungible tokens are all the
rage right now because they allow artists to sell digital art as if it's a
physical object sort of well users of the digital platform art station don't
want in on the action as the platform was forced to backpedal on its plan to
implement an nfts after user backlash
maybe because the whole idea of them doesn't make any sense that's your mouth
but neither does paying 8 million for a would you pay 8 million for a freaking
painting oh Linus is a big fan i will sell the
original Linus face meme picture okay now they make sense they make a lot of
sense i don't even know if lettuce has the rights to that yeah what and htc has
announced the new facial tracker for its vive vr headset which will allow users
to map their mouth movements onto digital avatars in vr so v tubers can
seem a little more like they're a real life anime girl and this is a timeline
we all want to live in right real fake girl
htc has also announced smaller and lighter vive trackers for 129 but if
that's too much you can also check out the open source stunks body trackers
made by a swedish teen for about 80 bucks that's where i'm putting my money
i think it's a good investment time to stop putting more tech news in this
video because it's over come back on friday for more tech news i'm sure there
will be more on the prompter by then it just appears and
we just do what it says just read it
let me go
