Tech news never sleeps but it should
think about napping or something because it's been kind of cranky lately and then I have to deal with it YouTube disabled
the public dislike counter a month ago and people are still ragging on the
platform about the decision because it sucks it's uh super dumb time to
change the subject so YouTube just released its first ever copyright
transparency report which reveals the platform's copyright claims process
isn't as broken as it looks apparently more than 2.2 million or about 60
percent of disputed copyright claims are resolved in the uploader's favor the
report also says 99 of claims were auto-generated by YouTube Content ID and
less than one percent of those were disputed so I guess we should thank you
two for being so good at maintaining a social platform we all love hey wait a
second this report was released days after Ludwig a top twitch streamer that
defected to YouTube had one of his first YouTube streams stopped by a copyright
warning for playing baby shark Andy's favorite song and before YouTube could
explain what happened he went on his second Channel and said he was suspended
everyone disliked the video obviously to try and say he was wrong but they all
started singing the song together and that's the worst you might want to hold off on sending any pixel devices to
Google for service at least for a little while a recent report indicates a video
game developer had her account compromised after it was sent to
Google's service center presumably by a worker there and that private photos
were accessed in an attempt to you guessed it
fine nudes was the internet out that day
or what is wrong with people whoever the perp was also disabled
security alerts in an attempt to cover their tracks and this comes on the heels
of a similar report last week Google is investigating the issue but the timing
is ultra ironic considering Google photos is rolling out a locked folder
feature to securely store private photos on your device and off the cloud
might want to consider switching to iPhone the Privacy Focus device where
all your photos are being scanned no come on they can have your photos yeah
you want them to have your nudes yes
Chase that's and there's been another major crypto Heist as exchange bitmart
is out nearly 200 million dollars worth of cryptocurrency including ethereum and
sheba bitmart has since Frozen withdrawals for the time being until a
review can be conducted but the theft underscores the inherent risks of
leaving your crypto on a public exchange which kind of goes against the whole
idea of the blockchain no for I mean for
a technology that is supposed to protect against theft by giving everyone a copy
of The Ledger there sure have been a good number of crypto heists lately and
even stranger except for the right clicker Scourge no one's stealing actual
nfts huh they're worthless now it's time for
quick bits brought to you by build Redux the PC Builder striving to bring PC
gaming to the masses with no price markups you'll pay the same price for

capable arms just wanted them to hold me just select
your budget pick your games that you want to run and see how they perform right on the website and let Redux take
care of the rest all builds come with a two year warranty so click the link in
the description and start creating your PC today all the equipments have decided
to stop whooshing around so fast for a second and give us a visit
when we love them the Oculus name looks like it's going away for good as
starting early next year meta is going to start dropping the brand for its VR
lineup and instead just go with meta so
we'll be talking about the meta Quest instead of the Oculus quest for example
I guess we'll just ignore how meta Quest sounds like some kind of super low
budget tabletop game that I do want to play because sometimes those are the
best so if you buy your PC games through
the Xbox app on Windows you might see a notification telling you how a game
should perform on your computer the feature is currently in testing and
doesn't support every title but it should be a quick way to know what to
expect if you're confused about Hardware requirements which I imagine probably
isn't a unusual situation with the Xbox gamer playing on PC for the first time
they don't they don't know anything Twitter suspended the accounts of a
dozen reporters and researchers after they were reported themselves for
violating the site's policy on private images but those reports were false as
they were apparently made by extremists trying to silence their critics the
accounts have since been restored but I wonder how Twitter made such a mistake
if there are only a dozen accounts to review
it's almost like it's all just computers in there
and if you live in New York you might be able to get your groceries faster than
ever as doordash is trying out a 15-minute grocery delivery service in
Manhattan at first it's going to be based out of just one location in the
Chelsea neighborhood between 7am and 2PM but the plan is to expand to more
locations in the near future doordash is even hiring dedicated employees instead
of using contractors for this so here's hoping they'll actually deliver on that
15 minute time limit instead of always relying on Spider-Man to pick up the
slack it's Pizza time we're doing Spider-Man
this week Spider-Man 2. and I think I've used about as much slack as they can
give me so this episode's over come back on Wednesday for more Tech news and I
assure you I will give you some
