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

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

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:14.320
sitting there someone has to can i take these when

00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:18.880
NVIDIA announced the rtx 3060 graphics card comes with a limiter that cuts its

00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:23.840
ethereum mining efficiency in half and then called that limiter unhackable

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:27.519
that was a mistake because crypto miners immediately started trying to hack it

00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:32.320
and this week it appeared that some had succeeded an image reposted from a thai

00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:38.079
facebook group appeared to show a system with rtx 3060s mining away at the card's

00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:41.360
full hash rate really what did NVIDIA expect that people would hear it's

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

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

00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:54.719
actually hold on some savvy netizens quickly noted that the currency being

00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:58.640
mined on these rtx 3060s was the altcoin

00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:00.559
conflux using the octopus algorithm

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

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

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:12.880
gonna get my help a complaint has been lodged with french

00:01:10.479 --> 00:01:19.759
regulators over apple's new app tracking transparency feature in iOS 14.5

00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:23.840
no which requires apps to obtain user consent before sharing their data with

00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:29.119
third-party advertisers because french people apparently don't like to be

00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:29.119
tracked by anyone

00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:36.079
no this is the same policy facebook has been attacking apple over and while it

00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:40.479
could protect users from third-party tracking it doesn't protect them from

00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:44.640
apple which collects user data in order to serve targeted ads google's taking a

00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:49.040
similar tack they'll soon be blocking third-party cookies in chrome while

00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:53.280
still selling your data to advertisers themselves

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:56.320
how many languages do you know interestingly t-mobile announced

00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:00.320
yesterday that they're going the opposite way if users don't opt out by

00:01:58.479 --> 00:02:04.479
april 26th the carrier will automatically share their information

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:07.520
with advertisers okay cool but where's the option where i don't get tracked by

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:12.239
apple or google or t-mobile because i think

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:18.800
that involves moving into a cave in vermont living with bernie sanders

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.680
i got here he's got some more mittens

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:25.520
no internet here get out and microsoft was waiting on the approval of european

00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:29.920
regulators to complete their acquisition of zenimax parent company of bethesda

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:33.360
and europe has just said it's okay go ahead

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

00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:42.800
bethesda both immediately started the celebrations releasing what is i guess

00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:46.879
intended to be a touching video about the developers history and how far

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

00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:55.200
being sucked into one of the biggest conglomerates ever from skyrim to sky

00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:58.800
with well hail father gates

00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:03.599
of course microsoft also took the opportunity to finally divulge that yes

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:08.959
of course some bethesda titles will now be xbox exclusive are you dumb but it

00:03:06.720 --> 00:03:14.879
also means more bethesda games on xbox game pass which is good i guess i'd

00:03:11.519 --> 00:03:17.360
rather a game pass than a game stop oh

00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:22.239
what a different riley brilliant doesn't have you memorize lists of facts they

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:27.760
use active learning you're getting in there doing stuff solving problems and

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:32.319
i just learned to think feels great there's over 60 different

00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:36.879
courses in subjects like quantum computing or math fundamentals with no

00:03:34.640 --> 00:03:41.840
harsh grading long lectures or strict time limits you're here to find out how

00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:45.680
our world works and master subjects not impress the teacher but i'll tell you

00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:49.200
what would impress me if you use the link in the description to join

00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:53.760

all right i can give you the bits but we have to be quick

00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:12.720
bleed the company behind one of the og good gaming streaming services shadow

00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:19.440
the company they're made of half vampires anyways they're filed for

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:23.600
bankruptcy the company's french server provider came calling for money owed to

00:04:21.280 --> 00:04:27.600
them again with the french you know now blade is seeking outside investment to

00:04:25.440 --> 00:04:30.639
stay afloat blade says the shadow streaming service shouldn't be affected

00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:35.040
by these events and that they were a victim of their own success

00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:41.120
as well as the french ASUS launched the rog phone 5 today complete with not one

00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:44.240
but two usb ports and a whopping 18

00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:45.840
gigabytes of lpddr5 RAM more than a

00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:49.919
macbook yeah actually more phones with chunky

00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:53.120
RAM might be on the way too as sk hynix is mass producing those 18 Gigabyte

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:56.720
modules which you're going to need to attend those fortnight concerts on

00:04:54.720 --> 00:05:01.360
mobile with the 30 store high it's the 30 story high character models of the

00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:05.899
current most popular rapper that's the baby

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:11.680
russia didn't like the way that twitter was allowing people to post horrible

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:16.240
things like spreading the word about opposition protests so the country tried

00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:19.280
to throttle the social platform it appears they kind of bungled the

00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:22.880
operation and ended up slowing down their entire internet instead that's not

00:05:21.520 --> 00:05:27.120
russia see if twitter would just listen and

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

00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:36.960
base and work with china on making their own moon base with space blackjack and

00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:41.120
moon hookers actually it sounds great nfts or non-fungible tokens are all the

00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:46.000
rage right now because they allow artists to sell digital art as if it's a

00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:49.600
physical object sort of well users of the digital platform art station don't

00:05:47.919 --> 00:05:54.960
want in on the action as the platform was forced to backpedal on its plan to

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:56.639
implement an nfts after user backlash

00:05:54.960 --> 00:06:00.639
maybe because the whole idea of them doesn't make any sense that's your mouth

00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:04.880
but neither does paying 8 million for a would you pay 8 million for a freaking

00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:09.600
painting oh Linus is a big fan i will sell the

00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:12.720
original Linus face meme picture okay now they make sense they make a lot of

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

00:06:15.520 --> 00:06:21.919
announced the new facial tracker for its vive vr headset which will allow users

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:26.960
to map their mouth movements onto digital avatars in vr so v tubers can

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

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:35.440
we all want to live in right real fake girl

00:06:33.280 --> 00:06:40.080
htc has also announced smaller and lighter vive trackers for 129 but if

00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:45.360
that's too much you can also check out the open source stunks body trackers

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

00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:52.400
i think it's a good investment time to stop putting more tech news in this

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

00:06:54.319 --> 00:07:01.840
will be more on the prompter by then it just appears and

00:06:58.400 --> 00:07:04.560
we just do what it says just read it

00:07:01.840 --> 00:07:04.560
let me go
