00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.880
if there's one thing i love more than anything in the world

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:08.160
it's tech news and that's not literally true but what

00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:11.920
is true is that i love you

00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:18.080
james i know the battle between the epic game store

00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:20.640
and steam for the hearts and minds

00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:24.800
and wallets of pc gamers is heating up so let's check in after they announced a

00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:28.480
bunch more exclusive games ceo tim sweeney says the epic game store will

00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:33.040
eventually stop with the exclusivity deals they're just trying to disrupt the

00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:37.360
industry a bit right now sweeney also made clear that the egc will not take

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:42.239
valve's hands off approach to content moderation applying quality standards

00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:47.440
that will block games that they deem as inappropriate as it stands the company

00:00:44.559 --> 00:00:51.360
says around 40 of their 85 million users don't also have steam installed they

00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:56.000
just have epic game store and even if those are all young fortnite players

00:00:53.840 --> 00:01:00.800
it's undeniable that egc will have an impact on the industry that impact is

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:06.479
arguably why steam is changing their ui to look a bit more modern it's time for

00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:09.680
pc gamers to choose a side steam

00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:09.680
or epic games

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:16.720
well you gotta be why not both is what he said i don't speak spanish fans of

00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:20.799
nokia phones were excited when the brand was revived by another finnish company

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:25.040
hmd global but they probably weren't excited this week to learn that a number

00:01:22.320 --> 00:01:30.400
of nokia 7 plus devices were suspected of sending data to a server in china

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:35.040
while hmd global is located in finland current nokia models are manufactured in

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:38.799
china at a foxconn factory hmd has issued a statement claiming that a

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:43.520
device activation client meant for a different country was mistakenly

00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:47.840
included in a single batch of nokia 7 plus models and that's not convenient

00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:52.320
exactly but and they say no personal information was compromised and huawei

00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:55.600
definitely wasn't involved we know that for sure nevertheless the finnish

00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:59.920
government has opened an investigation into whether any data breaches occurred

00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:04.799
and if they find anything hmd could be subject to hefty fines from the european

00:02:02.399 --> 00:02:09.840
union who are sort of like the overzealous hall monitor of europe now

00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:14.879
except hall monitors didn't find you but they did give you stern looks

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:18.640
and remember how a couple weeks ago mark zuckerberg wrote this giant post about

00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:21.440
how facebook was going to be super privacy focused now

00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:26.560
yeah well the news just came out that the company stored hundreds of millions of

00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:30.879
user passwords in plain text files that were easily searchable by thousands of

00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:35.040
facebook employees for years as far back as 2012. not the past riley oh yeah

00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:38.879
you're right you're right i shouldn't there's no evidence yet that user

00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:41.920
information was compromised as a result but still

00:02:40.239 --> 00:02:46.239
oh and also the company just admitted that they knew cambridge analytica was

00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:49.680
improperly gathering data as early as september 2015 and the story didn't

00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:53.360
really blow up in the public sphere until 2018.

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:57.120
i mean at least they were being private about that you know you gotta

00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:01.200
gotta give them points where you can it's time for quick bits brought to you

00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:46.959
NVIDIA is changing the way it releases drivers for its graphics cards

00:03:45.519 --> 00:03:51.200
when you update your driver there will now be two options a game ready driver

00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:55.760
with launch day support for the latest games and a creator ready driver which

00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:59.840
ensures stability and quality for creative workflows using apps like the

00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:04.319
adobe suite unreal engine and autodesk arnold

00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:08.319
exactly but what if you're equal parts gamer and creator what if you're neither

00:04:06.959 --> 00:04:13.120
and you don't even know what a graphics card is the answer

00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.120
google stadium

00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:18.720
macs don't get viruses except they do and since microsoft has

00:04:17.440 --> 00:04:22.400
lots of experience with having their software get screwed up they're helping

00:04:20.479 --> 00:04:27.520
out their rival a bit they've ported Windows defender to mac as microsoft

00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:30.880
defender advanced threat protection although i'm not sure what advanced

00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:36.320
threats they're protecting against since max don't get viruses as i've said

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:42.240
maybe a scorned freelance artist spilling their latte on the macbook

00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:47.840
sorry canadian mac users tesla is under scrutiny over its autopilot feature once

00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:49.680
again as dash cam footage of a model x

00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:53.759
swerving towards a barrier on the highway has been posted online but the

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:56.800
real issue is this is far from the first time this has happened and it comes

00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:00.960
after numerous software updates were pushed that seemingly fixed the problem

00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:04.080
until the dashcam footage came out it remains kind of weird that while other

00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:08.080
companies are really trying to smooth out the kinks in self-driving technology

00:05:05.919 --> 00:05:12.080
before they release it tesla is kind of using its customers like brandon as

00:05:10.320 --> 00:05:15.759
guinea pigs i'm not saying don't buy a tesla but maybe

00:05:14.320 --> 00:05:21.759
don't use autopilot just yet i don't know i don't know what the solution is

00:05:19.039 --> 00:05:25.440
i drive a mitsubishi does it though following google's announcement of

00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:30.479
stadia game streaming services are a hotter topic than ever and walmart wants

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:33.840
in on the party usgamer reports that the retail giant is exploring the idea of

00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:38.400
launching their own service as part of their op gaming brand

00:05:36.080 --> 00:05:41.759
yep which was a rousing success and i don't see why this should be any

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:44.639
different please go that's what gamers are saying to walmart

00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:49.039
just please no stop and mobile network testing company

00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:55.440
open signal tested the speeds of various mobile networks and found that at att's

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:58.160
5ge ran a little slower than verizon and

00:05:55.440 --> 00:06:03.360
t-mobile's 4g networks probably because it's not actually 5g

00:06:01.280 --> 00:06:08.479
it's also 4g dang you know you know i just thought if we called it 5g you know

00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:12.160
it might give us that boost we needed i guess life's a little more complicated

00:06:10.080 --> 00:06:15.759
than you think huh hopes and dreams hopes and dreams dashed but the reasons

00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:19.120
for ending this episode now aren't complicated we're just out of tech news

00:06:17.440 --> 00:06:23.600
that's just the way life works but there will be more come monday so make sure

00:06:21.039 --> 00:06:27.440
you're subscribed like the video and give yourself a pat on the back

00:06:25.440 --> 00:06:31.680
because you're worth it tell brenda i said that tell brandon not to use

00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.680
autopilot
