WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.359
oh you're gonna be so glad you clicked this video trust me this this baby this

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:12.719
this can fit this baby can fit so much tech news in it yes i love it these

00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:17.520
freaking ransomware attacks just won't stop the latest victim is cassaya an i.t

00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:21.119
firm that offers remote services to supply chain businesses worldwide

00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:26.400
thousands of which were infected with malware by the re-evil hacking group

00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:30.240
because they're evil and then they're evil one more time

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:34.239
nope the group apparently hijacked kaseya's software update functionality

00:00:32.239 --> 00:00:38.079
to deploy the malware to victims across the world and they're now offering to

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:43.680
decrypt the files they've infected for a 70 million dollar ransom the attack has

00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:46.480
led to sweden's coop supermarket chain i don't know if that's how you say

00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:50.320
keep closing all its stores this past weekend

00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:53.600
and it's unclear how the hack will affect other sectors but it's notable

00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:58.719
simply because it's one of the most widespread ransomware attacks ever seen

00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:02.719
in fact i think it might go down as the biggest one ever so all the hackers can

00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:06.320
probably stop doing this now you did it guys

00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:10.720
nice one time to pack it in stop doing this

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:14.159
popular free audio editing app audacity is living up to its name after its new

00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:19.520
owners updated the app's terms of service to indicate user data could be

00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:23.360
collected and potentially sold muse group bought audacity on april 30th and

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:27.439
while they promised the app would remain free and open source they didn't mention

00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:31.360
anything about how they were looking to monetize their acquisition

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:34.479
and well the new terms make reference to the

00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:39.360
standard data you'd think an app might collect os version user country the CPU

00:01:37.119 --> 00:01:44.159
being used but they also say audacity has the right to collect data necessary

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:49.280
for law enforcement litigation and authorities requests which could be

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:53.119
literally anything they also say the data may be sent back to muse group's

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:57.040
russian headquarters and it's fair game if audacity gets bought by any other

00:01:54.880 --> 00:02:01.920
company and so naturally children under 13 should not be using it the free open

00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:05.600
source audio editor kids should be buying adobe licenses instead what do

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:09.119
you mean they have no money haven't they been working evenings and weekends i'm

00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:15.120
assuming that's the norm in russia i don't and qualcomm says they're planning to

00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:19.680
release notebook processors in 2022 that will rival apple silicon chips like the

00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:24.400
m1 planning being the key word here

00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:28.480
okay actually they may have a shot you see back in march qualcomm acquired

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:32.480
nuvia a processor design company started by former apple engineers who oversaw

00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:37.920
the development of cupertino's in-house chips qualcomm ceo cristiano amon told

00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:42.239
reuters that he thinks his company can make the best chip on the market it's

00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:46.959
only when you put it in a laptop that you get some problems but the chip

00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:48.800
itself it's a good it's a good chip

00:02:46.959 --> 00:02:53.040
it's pretty good now it's time for quick bits brought to you by seasonic maker of

00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:56.400
the best effing power supplies on the market are you kidding me you're about

00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:00.959
to go buy a power supply from those other guys weren't you huge mistake

00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:04.720
seasonic's prime ultra titanium power supplies feature ultra high efficiency

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:08.720
with an 80 plus titanium rating they're fully modular they feature hybrid fan

00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:13.360
control and fluid dynamic fan bearings to keep the noise down and last forever

00:03:11.440 --> 00:03:17.920
that's right these things have a 50 000 hour life expectancy and a 12 hour

00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:21.760
warranty the ocean will light on fire again and will probably all be gone by

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:25.519
then anyways so get yourself a sea sonic power supply at the link below why am i

00:03:24.239 --> 00:03:33.519
so angry i love you i don't know these bits are pretty

00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:37.519
hoffman why aren't you stopping me you're unstoppable apex legends servers

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:40.799
were hacked but not to get anyone fraudulent chicken dinners players

00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:46.159
trying to join a game were met by a message linking to save titanfall.com a

00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:50.720
site dedicated to convincing respawn to fix the multiplayer mode for titanfall 1

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:55.680
which is itself being kept offline by hackers now i say multiplayer mode but

00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:59.840
titanfall 1 was multiplayer only so they have a point the save titanfall people

00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:04.000
say they're not affiliated with the hack making this all kind of confusing and

00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:08.879
leading me to say just play battlefield 4 for now the servers are hot watch out

00:04:06.799 --> 00:04:12.159
for me in the chopper though i'm coming for you

00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:16.639
cryptocurrency is having a moment and not in a good way the total hash rate

00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:20.639
for the ethereum network is down 19 this month in the wake of the chinese

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:23.919
crackdown on mining a development that has also driven the largest drop in

00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:27.520
mining difficulty for the bitcoin network ever crypto may be the future

00:04:26.479 --> 00:04:33.840
but it looks like it's gonna have to face a reckoning of some kind before we're all blockchaining around on our

00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:38.160
blockchain boards i don't know how the blockchain works

00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:42.560
early adopters everywhere are slapping early builds of Windows 11 on their

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:45.520
machines including gustav montse that's probably not how you say his name who

00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:50.560
has carried on his tradition of installing unusual operating systems on

00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:52.639
the microsoft lumia 950xl a phone from

00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:55.440
2015. it honestly looks like it runs pretty well and with the vertical screen

00:04:54.240 --> 00:05:00.880
you probably won't even notice the centered start button thus avoiding being triggered by your irrational

00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:05.120
hatred of change you gotta address that at some point scientists at the

00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:09.600
university of gutingen gottingen in germany have built a high

00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:12.800
resolution microsoft completely out of lego parts and some mobile phone

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:16.560
components except for the actual microscope lenses themselves

00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:21.039
well we hear about german engineering all the time but this is just flaunting

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:22.880
their skills oh truman engineering is so

00:05:21.039 --> 00:05:28.000
good we can build a microscope from lego

00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:29.840
get behind us since the line

00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:35.600
and other scientists have demonstrated successful genome editing in space for

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:39.199
the first time using crispr technology this paves the way for more space-based

00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:43.520
research on repairing dna that is damaged by space radiation meaning if

00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:47.919
this research goes anywhere future astronauts could have their dna

00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:53.120
rewritten to stay safe on deep space flights this is cool but also an amazing

00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:56.560
setup for a space horror film i have to write that down okay so now

00:05:55.039 --> 00:06:00.160
this episode is over come back on wednesday for more tech news provided

00:05:58.320 --> 00:06:06.240
you haven't mutated into a homicidal space creature by then i just gave away

00:06:01.840 --> 00:06:06.240
the ending ah come on hoffman
