WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.759
oh my goodness have you guys seen the tech news today no no they

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

00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:14.880
right yeah so spacex has finally managed

00:00:12.719 --> 00:00:19.920
to get their first bundle of starlink satellites into orbit after two launch

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:23.439
attempts were delayed by weather after the falcon 9 rocket carrying the

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:29.519
satellites released them into orbit it landed safely on the of course i still

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:31.519
love you drone ship back on earth the 60

00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:37.200
starlink satellites were then released and slowly drifted away with no

00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:38.960
observable deployment mechanism so it

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:41.760
might have worked well we're going to find out soon

00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:46.239
because the satellites are meant to deliver high-speed internet and these

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:51.920
initial 60 are hopefully going to be part of a network of 800 to 12

00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:56.399
000 satellites once it's fully built out that is a lot of space satellites

00:00:54.559 --> 00:01:01.520
and that's that doesn't even mention the competing satellite systems being

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:03.760
developed by telesat one web and a host

00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:06.960
of other companies i swear if the aliens ever do come here like they're gonna

00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:10.720
have to elbow their way through the atmosphere

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

00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:18.640
snapchat users was privacy as the app

00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:22.400
features time-limited self-destructing messages

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:27.840
but the company is in hot water for allegedly allowing its employees to

00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:32.560
breach the privacy of its users two former employees told motherboard

00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:37.759
that multiple parties within the company abused internal tools that gave them

00:01:35.119 --> 00:01:42.880
access to user data including user locations saved photos and videos phone

00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:48.720
numbers and email addresses one of these tools called snap lion is used by snap

00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:53.840
to collect data on users to comply with valid requests from law enforcement

00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:56.960
because everyone knows that lions are the cops of

00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:02.240
the animal kingdom now such tools are common in tech

00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:08.479
companies and snap has responded denying the accusations of spying but this is

00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:10.879
just yet another reminder that however

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

00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:18.959
probably has eyes on it at some point and

00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:23.920
you just don't know where those eyes have been

00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:28.959
speaking of not knowing about your data and eyes looking at things uh uh the

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:35.040
consequences of the u.s huawei ban continue to expand with the company now

00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:36.879
being kicked out of the sd association

00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:42.319
the body that controls the standards related to sd cards and ports

00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:47.920
wow that's like being kicked out of like the cheerleading squad

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.920
except for giant nerds

00:02:48.239 --> 00:02:56.800
so what this means is that huawei will no longer be able to produce devices

00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:58.640
with ports for sd or microsd cards with

00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:02.640
that said this might not be that the death blow that some people have been

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:07.599
waiting for because the chinese tech company has been slowly introducing

00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:10.080
their own nano memory format which uses

00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:14.480
modules that are smaller than microsd for a couple of years now

00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:19.440
huawei has also been temporarily restricted from working with the wi-fi

00:03:16.640 --> 00:03:24.159
alliance and jdec which set standards for wi-fi and semiconductors

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:28.879
respectively now huawei will reportedly still be able to use those standards but

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

00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:40.000
meeting but they can't speak but i think if we could just

00:03:37.440 --> 00:03:42.480
wait wait look are you guys gonna stop spying

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:47.680
no okay well then flip it now it's time for quick bits

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

00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:56.959
you need with a low-cost subscription being a video creator can take a lot of

00:03:54.720 --> 00:04:00.959
your time and a lot more out of your wallet well storyblocks video helps you

00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:05.280
bring your creative vision to life faster while also helping you to keep

your cash nice and safe in the bank we use it here on techlink constantly in

00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:12.879
fact you probably already saw a few story blocks video clips in this episode

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

00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:21.199
not getting murdered by dennis for taking too long to get the script ready

00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:24.800
so it really comes in handy to learn more about storyblocks video

00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:31.520
click the link below on to the blippity blops NVIDIA has released a teaser for

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:35.600
some kind of g-force product with super

00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:38.320
in the title or on the product itself um

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:43.919
it could be a supercharged and super expensive new variant of the rtx 2080 ti

00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:48.160
it could be a a new NVIDIA shield it could be a

00:04:45.440 --> 00:04:51.600
superior vena cava and we only just saw the first part

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

00:04:54.479 --> 00:05:01.280
we're probably going to find out next week at computex NVIDIA you guys are

00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:06.240
such teases how will i wait speaking of teasing would you tease

00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:11.360
amazon with a scan of your nearly naked body for a 25 gift card

00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:16.479
well if you would head to new york because the company is collecting data

00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:21.360
for internal product research which will ostensibly be used to develop

00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:25.280
clothing that will fit people's bodies better that makes total sense seems

00:05:23.440 --> 00:05:30.160
credible enough but then when you hear that amazon is also preparing a wearable

00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:35.199
device that allows alexa to read human emotions it starts to sound more and

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

00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:43.919
us humans so that it can destroy us

00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:48.080
is that worth a 25 gift card well i guess it depends what's on sale

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

00:05:50.880 --> 00:06:00.000
call businesses on the phone for you but the company told the new york times that

00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:02.960
about 25 of duplex calls start out with

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

00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:13.280
person finished the booking in three out of four duplex calls so i guess what

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

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

00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:25.840
certain time um they probably can't figure this out

00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:29.759
so we probably got a few more years to live before we get murdered by

00:06:27.039 --> 00:06:32.479
intelligent boston dynamics robots enjoy it

00:06:30.479 --> 00:06:38.080
and you can enjoy it by checking out game developer panics play date a tiny

00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:43.520
handheld gaming device with a black and white screen a d-pad two buttons and of

00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:47.440
course naturally a hand crank

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:53.120
it's gonna come with 12 indie games when it launches for 149 us dollars early

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

00:06:55.919 --> 00:07:02.160
year that 2d black and white fishing simulator

00:06:59.440 --> 00:07:08.479
finally you know really takes off yeah wow got the image there the air force is

00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:11.919
planning to use the xq58 valkyrie drone

00:07:08.479 --> 00:07:14.639
made by kratos defense as an unmanned

00:07:11.919 --> 00:07:19.759
sidekick for fighter jets that are flown by human pilots as part of a program

00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:24.720
called skyborg that's not ominous at all so the drones

00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:30.639
would be networked to the man craft and serve as an ai wingman of sorts which

00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:35.520
would fly ahead to scout or draw fire from attackers now i'm assuming that

00:07:33.280 --> 00:07:40.080
these military folks have done their prerequisite research here and watched

00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:42.880
stealth uh the classic bad action movie starring jessica beale right should be

00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:46.400
required i certainly hope so also independence

00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:50.800
day that's really important too also

00:07:48.400 --> 00:07:55.520
according to my research this episode is now over thanks for watching guys and if

00:07:52.880 --> 00:07:59.280
you liked the tech news today well just wait until monday cause it's gonna be

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

00:08:03.039 --> 00:08:08.319
don't oh magic

00:08:06.400 --> 00:08:13.840
it's a crystal ball yeah magic magic ball

00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.840
okay seeing into the future is not magic
