1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,759
oh my goodness have you guys seen the tech news today no no they

2
00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:12,719
they haven't that's why we're doing you got to tell us what it is

3
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:14,880
right yeah so spacex has finally managed

4
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:19,920
to get their first bundle of starlink satellites into orbit after two launch

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:23,439
attempts were delayed by weather after the falcon 9 rocket carrying the

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:29,519
satellites released them into orbit it landed safely on the of course i still

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:31,519
love you drone ship back on earth the 60

8
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:37,200
starlink satellites were then released and slowly drifted away with no

9
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:38,960
observable deployment mechanism so it

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,760
might have worked well we're going to find out soon

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:46,239
because the satellites are meant to deliver high-speed internet and these

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:51,920
initial 60 are hopefully going to be part of a network of 800 to 12

13
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:56,399
000 satellites once it's fully built out that is a lot of space satellites

14
00:00:54,559 --> 00:01:01,520
and that's that doesn't even mention the competing satellite systems being

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,760
developed by telesat one web and a host

16
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,960
of other companies i swear if the aliens ever do come here like they're gonna

17
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,720
have to elbow their way through the atmosphere

18
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:16,320
first that's how we know they really want to meet us now a big draw for early

19
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:18,640
snapchat users was privacy as the app

20
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:22,400
features time-limited self-destructing messages

21
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:27,840
but the company is in hot water for allegedly allowing its employees to

22
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:32,560
breach the privacy of its users two former employees told motherboard

23
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:37,759
that multiple parties within the company abused internal tools that gave them

24
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:42,880
access to user data including user locations saved photos and videos phone

25
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:48,720
numbers and email addresses one of these tools called snap lion is used by snap

26
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:53,840
to collect data on users to comply with valid requests from law enforcement

27
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,960
because everyone knows that lions are the cops of

28
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:02,240
the animal kingdom now such tools are common in tech

29
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:08,479
companies and snap has responded denying the accusations of spying but this is

30
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:10,879
just yet another reminder that however

31
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:16,239
private you might think your data is if you're giving it to a company a human

32
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,959
probably has eyes on it at some point and

33
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:23,920
you just don't know where those eyes have been

34
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:28,959
speaking of not knowing about your data and eyes looking at things uh uh the

35
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:35,040
consequences of the u.s huawei ban continue to expand with the company now

36
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:36,879
being kicked out of the sd association

37
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:42,319
the body that controls the standards related to sd cards and ports

38
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:47,920
wow that's like being kicked out of like the cheerleading squad

39
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,920
except for giant nerds

40
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:56,800
so what this means is that huawei will no longer be able to produce devices

41
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:58,640
with ports for sd or microsd cards with

42
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,640
that said this might not be that the death blow that some people have been

43
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:07,599
waiting for because the chinese tech company has been slowly introducing

44
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:10,080
their own nano memory format which uses

45
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:14,480
modules that are smaller than microsd for a couple of years now

46
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:19,440
huawei has also been temporarily restricted from working with the wi-fi

47
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:24,159
alliance and jdec which set standards for wi-fi and semiconductors

48
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:28,879
respectively now huawei will reportedly still be able to use those standards but

49
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:32,400
they will not be able to contribute to them so it's like they can come to the

50
00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:40,000
meeting but they can't speak but i think if we could just

51
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,480
wait wait look are you guys gonna stop spying

52
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:47,680
no okay well then flip it now it's time for quick bits

53
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:52,879
brought to you by storyblocks video where you can get the footage backgrounds and after effects templates

54
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:56,959
you need with a low-cost subscription being a video creator can take a lot of

55
00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:00,959
your time and a lot more out of your wallet well storyblocks video helps you

56
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:05,280
bring your creative vision to life faster while also helping you to keep

57
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:08,640
your cash nice and safe in the bank we use it here on techlink constantly in

58
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:12,879
fact you probably already saw a few story blocks video clips in this episode

59
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:17,040
we write shoot and edit all in one day so speed and quality is crucial to me

60
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:21,199
not getting murdered by dennis for taking too long to get the script ready

61
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:24,800
so it really comes in handy to learn more about storyblocks video

62
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:31,520
click the link below on to the blippity blops NVIDIA has released a teaser for

63
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:35,600
some kind of g-force product with super

64
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:38,320
in the title or on the product itself um

65
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:43,919
it could be a supercharged and super expensive new variant of the rtx 2080 ti

66
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:48,160
it could be a a new NVIDIA shield it could be a

67
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:51,600
superior vena cava and we only just saw the first part

68
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:55,840
it's it's a blood vessel no it's part of the heart i don't remember it doesn't matter the point is

69
00:04:54,479 --> 00:05:01,280
we're probably going to find out next week at computex NVIDIA you guys are

70
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:06,240
such teases how will i wait speaking of teasing would you tease

71
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:11,360
amazon with a scan of your nearly naked body for a 25 gift card

72
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:16,479
well if you would head to new york because the company is collecting data

73
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:21,360
for internal product research which will ostensibly be used to develop

74
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:25,280
clothing that will fit people's bodies better that makes total sense seems

75
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:30,160
credible enough but then when you hear that amazon is also preparing a wearable

76
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:35,199
device that allows alexa to read human emotions it starts to sound more and

77
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:41,199
more like amazon has been taken over by an ai that's trying to learn more about

78
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:43,919
us humans so that it can destroy us

79
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:48,080
is that worth a 25 gift card well i guess it depends what's on sale

80
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:53,520
what kind of prime add-ons they got google's duplex is supposed to use ai to

81
00:05:50,880 --> 00:06:00,000
call businesses on the phone for you but the company told the new york times that

82
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:02,960
about 25 of duplex calls start out with

83
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:07,919
a human on the other end the times also reported that in their own tests a real

84
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:13,280
person finished the booking in three out of four duplex calls so i guess what

85
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:17,840
i've been saying all along which is that if you still can't figure out how to

86
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,960
okay google you know remind me something when i get to a place but like at a

87
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:25,840
certain time um they probably can't figure this out

88
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:29,759
so we probably got a few more years to live before we get murdered by

89
00:06:27,039 --> 00:06:32,479
intelligent boston dynamics robots enjoy it

90
00:06:30,479 --> 00:06:38,080
and you can enjoy it by checking out game developer panics play date a tiny

91
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:43,520
handheld gaming device with a black and white screen a d-pad two buttons and of

92
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:47,440
course naturally a hand crank

93
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:53,120
it's gonna come with 12 indie games when it launches for 149 us dollars early

94
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:57,120
next year and we really don't know much about it other than that 2020 may be the

95
00:06:55,919 --> 00:07:02,160
year that 2d black and white fishing simulator

96
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:08,479
finally you know really takes off yeah wow got the image there the air force is

97
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:11,919
planning to use the xq58 valkyrie drone

98
00:07:08,479 --> 00:07:14,639
made by kratos defense as an unmanned

99
00:07:11,919 --> 00:07:19,759
sidekick for fighter jets that are flown by human pilots as part of a program

100
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:24,720
called skyborg that's not ominous at all so the drones

101
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:30,639
would be networked to the man craft and serve as an ai wingman of sorts which

102
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:35,520
would fly ahead to scout or draw fire from attackers now i'm assuming that

103
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:40,080
these military folks have done their prerequisite research here and watched

104
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:42,880
stealth uh the classic bad action movie starring jessica beale right should be

105
00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:46,400
required i certainly hope so also independence

106
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:50,800
day that's really important too also

107
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:55,520
according to my research this episode is now over thanks for watching guys and if

108
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:59,280
you liked the tech news today well just wait until monday cause it's gonna be

109
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:05,199
even better we actually have no way of knowing that do we you can't guarantee that please

110
00:08:03,039 --> 00:08:08,319
don't oh magic

111
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:13,840
it's a crystal ball yeah magic magic ball

112
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:13,840
okay seeing into the future is not magic
