1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,200
you know Tech news isn't all fun in games and giving yourself little

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:09,280
electric shocks for fun it can have real consequences like finding out how good

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:13,639
robots are getting so always do the tech news with a partner if you don't have I

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:18,359
I count as a partner you're good Microsoft's edge browser has been caught

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,920
stealing people's Chrome tabs in broad daylight when The Verge reporter Tom

6
00:00:20,439 --> 00:00:27,160
Warren started up his PC after updating Windows he was meant by Edge

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:31,720
automatically opening with all of his tabs open which doesn't seem that weird

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:38,120
except that he had those tabs open in Chrome his default browser ah sorry bub

9
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:39,719
defaults changed and Tommy's not alone

10
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:43,559
there have been a slow and steady buildup of reports from users

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:47,879
complaining about their Edge browsers just going ahead and importing browser

12
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:51,800
data from chrome without permission one person that this happened to even

13
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:56,840
uninstalled Edge and deleted all of its app data from Windows only to have it

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:02,239
pop up having imported everything again after an update and this time it was

15
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:07,880
angry got a bit of a single white female situation you didn't mean to do that did

16
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:10,439
you turns out Edge has a little known

17
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:14,400
feature that allows it to pull data from other browsers so when Microsoft decides

18
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:18,000
to push another update that autol launches the app it'll take longer for

19
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:22,840
users to realize that isn't their Grandma at all it's the wolf grandma

20
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:27,400
what great cookies you have privacy researcher Zach Edwards pointed out that

21
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:31,960
when reinstalling Windows a screen appears giving you the option to disable

22
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:36,280
this feature but it clearly nudges you towards keeping it on but if you missed

23
00:01:34,399 --> 00:01:40,880
that you can also disable it in edges settings who knows if that'll stick

24
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:45,759
though that's half the fun speaking of browsers the company behind the unusual

25
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:50,240
Arc browser they're called the browser company to make things less confusing

26
00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:55,439
has launched Arc search an iPhone exclusive app with an AI powered feature

27
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:59,039
called browse for me because laying on the couch with your phone like this is

28
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:03,439
just yeah exhausting AI assisted search is nothing new but instead of making you

29
00:02:01,039 --> 00:02:09,080
go back and forth with a chatbot Arc search will actually read six web pages

30
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:14,800
and generate a summary web page for you complete with embedded YouTube videos

31
00:02:10,959 --> 00:02:16,720
and verified quotes which probably could

32
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,800
do with some more verification afterwards since generative AI is

33
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:24,800
involved but I can't deny it looks pretty convenient but as with other AI

34
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:29,519
powered tools heralded as the future of web browsing this one sparking concern

35
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:33,400
about how Publishers get compensated when their content is scraped by a bot

36
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:38,080
instead of a squishy human who can be lured into clicking a shiny ad for hot

37
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:43,280
cheese sauce ads like that don't work on robots they hate that stuff it gunks up

38
00:02:40,239 --> 00:02:46,480
their gears ah what are we going to do

39
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,519
how do we sell cheese to robots how

40
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:53,040
Apple may have spit in the eu's face with their iOS changes announced last

41
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:57,720
week but Amazon's coones apparently aren't as large the e-commerce giant has

42
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:02,560
announced it's cancelling its $1.4 billion agreement to acquire irot the

43
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:07,959
company behind Roomba and did you know there's a mopping Roomba called Brava

44
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:10,680
with three A's pretty cool this is what

45
00:03:07,959 --> 00:03:15,200
Isaac azimov had in mind opposition from European regulators and an active

46
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:21,200
investigation by the FTC cooled Amazon's lenium cleansing Jets unfortunately the

47
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:27,879
same day the deal was cancelled iroot announced an operational restructuring

48
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:30,400
plan involving 31% of the company's 1130

49
00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:35,239
employees being laid off while its co-founder and CEO Colin angle is

50
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:41,159
stepping down take a good look Europe you did this Europe Euro while there

51
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:45,519
were concerns that the acquisition would lead to Amazon favoring its own products

52
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:49,920
on its Marketplace because they have done that many times before others have

53
00:03:47,799 --> 00:03:54,480
pointed out that iroots products are struggling while losing ground to many

54
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:59,239
chinese-made competitor products none of which have names that are nearly as

55
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:02,000
simultaneously quaint and nonsensical a Roomba

56
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,680
now it's time for quick bits brought to you by Jawa the company that makes

57

shipping label most sellers will get paid within one business day after Jawa

61
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:24,280
receives the part which isn't as quick as quick bits but it's a good effort

62
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:27,919
each card that Jawa buys from users is carefully inspected and quality checked

63
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:32,320

67
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,400
answer to what

68
00:04:46,039 --> 00:04:51,120
question indeed last week Apple

69
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:56,240
announced its proposed changes in response to the EU digital markets act

70
00:04:53,360 --> 00:05:00,360
to A Chorus of jeering and booze because the company still wants to review every

71
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:04,479
app on offer on iOS and they even added a potentially punishing new core

72
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:10,039
technology fee for developers when asked about Apple's half-ass plan EU internal

73
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:14,759
Market commissioner tiar Breton didn't comment on Apple directly but told

74
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:19,360
Reuters that company proposals that fail to go far enough will be met with strong

75
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:23,120
action it's like how when your mom doesn't say she'll punish you if your

76
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:27,400
room is messy just that the house it better be clean when she gets home it's

77
00:05:25,039 --> 00:05:31,400
a scary home to live in NASA has officially announced the end of the

78
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:36,800
engine genuity helicopters mission on Mars according to NASA Ingenuity or

79
00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:40,000
Genny to its friends is still functional in the sense that it's upright and

80
00:05:38,479 --> 00:05:44,759
capable of communicating with NASA control back on Earth but it likely

81
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:49,440
damaged one or more of its rotor blades meaning that it's permanently grounded

82
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:54,520
over the course of 3 years jinny managed 72 flights through Mars's ultra thin

83
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:59,160
atmosphere far beyond the original five test flights that NASA scientists

84
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:03,000
expected tragically despite over 2 hours of total flight time this little

85
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,080
helicopter was still unable to complete its ultimate goal and rescue Matt Damon

86
00:06:05,319 --> 00:06:12,360
some say he's still up there growing taters Kraken wise fossil has officially

87
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:16,560
thrown in the towel and will no longer be making SmartWatches leaving them to

88
00:06:14,479 --> 00:06:21,120
an assortment of non-tech products none of us here care about they're basically

89
00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:25,880
dead to us it's a big deal but it also really really isn't fossil was possibly

90
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:30,520
the biggest partner for Google's we OSS platform but despite launching nearly a

91
00:06:28,039 --> 00:06:34,840
decade ago fossil SmartWatches still only made up 2% of the Smartwatch market

92
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:40,319
now this isn't coming out of nowhere fossil's last Smartwatch was a refresh

93
00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:42,360
of the fossil Gen 6 back in late 2022

94
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:45,440
and they hadn't really said much since it's like having your girlfriend ghost

95
00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:50,199
you for over a month the eventual breakup text isn't that much of a shock

96
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:54,280
Canon the Japanese camera and printer company plans to start shipping chip

97
00:06:52,479 --> 00:06:59,440
making machines that use a new technology called Nano imprint

98
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:01,599
lithography sometime this year the tech

99
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:07,000
involves stamping chip designs onto silicon as opposed to etching them using

100
00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:12,000
euv lithography the technique used by industry leader asml Canon says their

101
00:07:09,919 --> 00:07:16,479
stamping method which sounds suspiciously like a printer is

102
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:19,720
significantly cheaper and uses up to 90% less power than the way the Dutch

103
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:24,400
company does it but at this point we don't care if they're literally drawing the chip designs on with a pen we need

104
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:28,319
chips to get cheaper and for that to happen we need more chips and the Dutch

105
00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:32,800
have stood in our way for too long Europe speaking speak of Japanese W's

106
00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:37,400
the Japanese government will no longer require companies to submit certain

107
00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:42,720
official documents in the form of CD ROMs mini discs and floppy discs a media

108
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:48,039
format that is the same age as Mark wallberg and also apparently the quarter

109
00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:50,240
pounder okay since 2022 Japan's Ministry

110
00:07:48,039 --> 00:07:53,560
of economy trade and industry has been begging the other various branches of

111
00:07:51,919 --> 00:07:56,759
the government to modernize their submission protocols which apply to

112
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,840
important sectors throughout the Japanese economy including aircraft and

113
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:04,840
weapons manufacturers unfortunately this isn't

114
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:09,440
an issue exclusive to Japan many elderly planes and medical devices still require

115
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:15,000
floppy discs and the US government only stopped using floppy discs to coordinate

116
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:17,159
nuclear launches back in 2019 truly

117
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:21,360
proving the power of nostalgia we have to move on and I know you have the power

118
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:27,000
to come back on Wednesday for more Tech news you're capable of so much

119
00:08:24,599 --> 00:08:30,400
especially clicking that Mouse on a video you got this
