1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,359
oh tech news

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:11,280
my god have you ever beheld something so

3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:11,280
glorious

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:22,000
since AMD left Intel in the price to performance dust with the ryzen 3000

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:24,400
launch team blue has picked up the old

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:29,439
real world performance refrain you see AMD often uses synthetic benchmarks like

7
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:34,960
cinebench to demonstrate their processor superiority but at ifa 2019 Intel once

8
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:39,600
again argued that users shouldn't be tricked by these numbers since they

9
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:43,840
don't represent real world real-world real-world performance that's how they

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:48,239
talk when they're upset yeah Intel wants the tech press and oems to accept their

11
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:52,719
help to develop realistic usage performance testing using stuff like

12
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:57,520
Windows media player okay league of legends and photoshop and

13
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:03,600
if that means Intel's processors look better i'm sure that's just incidental

14
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:08,000
to the benefit that users will be seeing from more accurate numbers yeah that

15
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:13,680
sounds about right i'm being sarcastic we want a real world let's use Windows

16
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:16,320
media player samsung is delaying

17
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:20,720
pre-orders of the galaxy fold again so to lay this all out they've

18
00:01:19,119 --> 00:01:26,479
launched pre-orders discovered the obvious fact that people are diamond will remove something that looks like a

19
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:29,920
screen protector canceled the pre-orders and delayed the phone

20
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:33,439
announced a new launch window and have now cancelled that

21
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:40,079
okay this story has more ups and downs than a pogo stick kids use those still right

22
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:46,240
well there's another twist the phone actually launched already in korea and

23
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:48,479
promptly sold out but for us

24
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:53,360
effectively that means nothing and i can say us i don't think there's a single

25
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:56,240
person in korea watching this episode

26
00:01:53,360 --> 00:02:00,240
comment if you are oh anyways the extra work that samsung did on the phone

27
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:06,320
seems to have improved it according to end gadget with a reinforced structure

28
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:09,119
and a display that doesn't shout feel me

29
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:13,920
feel me so huawei's mate x will actually have a competitor when it launches next

30
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:18,959
month the fold is supposed to launch again in the us in the coming weeks but

31
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:22,560
it's not coming to canada at all what ever

32
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:27,280
it's just not coming we'd be really upset by this if we weren't canadian but

33
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:32,800
we are so it's okay samsung yeah stuff happens you know it's fine but get em

34
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:35,280
next time yeah try again and deep fakes

35
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,720
aren't just fun in games anymore we've now experienced the first high

36
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:41,200
profile case of the technology being used to steal

37
00:02:40,239 --> 00:02:46,319
huge huge amounts of money last week the wall street journal

38
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:51,200
reported that an executive of a uk energy company received a call from

39
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:54,959
someone he thought was his boss but was actually a digitally reproduced deep

40
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:58,400
faith the voice was reportedly indistinguishable from the real thing

41
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:03,760
especially when you're drunk this is wall street and so the executive did

42
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:06,239
what he was instructed and wired 220

43
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:10,080
dollars into an offshore account normal wall street stuff the thieves actually

44
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:14,640
called the same guy up again to try and arrange another transfer but he got

45
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:19,840
suspicious and called his actual boss wait a second let me call you right back

46
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:24,480
but by then it was too late he'd already been

47
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:28,640
defect we've seen a lot of handwringing about the potential of defects uh doing

48
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:33,120
harm and well it turns out the potential was real

49
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:35,360
it was real fake it's it's fortuitous

50
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:40,720
that microsoft and facebook are teaming up to launch the deep fake detection

51
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:43,920
challenge the dtc i'm going to call it which will offer 10 million dollars in

52
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:48,640
research grants to develop deep fake detecting technology which will

53
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:52,319
basically just serve as an adversarial neural network to improve defect

54
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:57,040
technology probably but anyway we're gonna we're gonna develop that technology and then after that we'll

55
00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:01,760
have to develop deep fake detection faking faking and we'll be so busy with

56
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:06,159
this new arms race that'll be easy for the robbers the robots to take over and

57
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:09,920
we'll have deep faked ourselves now it's time for quick bits brought to you by

58
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:14,319
the ravpower filehub if you don't know about the filehub it's a three-in-one

62
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:33,040
charge your phone or tablet plug it into a wired network to provide high-speed

63
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:37,199
wi-fi and connect sd cards and external drives to transfer files to and from

64
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:42,320
your mobile device plus you can stream media content to tvs media players

65
00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:45,600
chromecasts you name it is there anything it can't do

66
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,919
love although i don't even want to say that it might be able to love

67
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:55,280
check out the ravpower filehub at the link below mighty brave you to show your

68
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:59,360
face around these parts quick bits ifa 2019 is in full swing and there's a

69
00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:04,320
ton of products being announced including nokia feature phones

70
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,000
lenovo laptops and monitors motorola phones

71
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:12,000
a slightly altered huawei p30 pro that's a blatant attempt to get around the

72
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:16,160
Android van huawei's noise canceling airpod rip-offs

73
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:20,160
i can't make that noise anymore but i would for that one and a dual screen

74
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:24,320
attachment for the lg g8 are you gonna talk about them

75
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:28,720
i just did right now 5g is kind of a high-end type thing but it's about to

76
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:34,960
enter the mainstream 5g modems are being directly integrated into samsung's new

77
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:37,520
exynos 980 and huawei's current 990 5g

78
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:41,199
mobile processors plus qualcomm says their chipsets will have integrated 5g

79
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:47,039
next year but if you can't wait samsung has already announced a mid-range 5g phone

80
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:50,880
the galaxy a90 buy it

81
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:54,639
buy it and go find the 5g chase your dreams coverage is okay if you can stand

82
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:58,800
out in the middle of the street take care Android 10 promises to speed

83
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:03,199
up security updates for phones and it can't come to non-pixels soon enough and

84
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:07,360
i have a pixel so i already got it checkpoint research has discovered a

85
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:12,000
spoofing attack that can infect a device just by having an end user open a link

86
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:15,759
in a text message oh god we're doomed and another vulnerability in an Android

87
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,960
video driver that was also disclosed this week could give attackers access to

88
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:23,360
the os kernel so update your phones and if you

89
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:27,840
can't request that in patching uh request

90
00:06:26,479 --> 00:06:32,080
acquiesce yeah requests

91
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:37,520
nintendo is teasing what looks like another newfangled weirdo fitness

92
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:40,000
doohickey for the switch involving a

93
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:44,319
stretchy handheld ring and a thigh-high strap into which you insert the

94
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:48,800
console's joy-cons to track your movements

95
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:52,639
and i say it's about time for nintendo to get weird again you know lava was

96
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:56,960
cool but making stuff out of cardboard is just too normal i just want to flail around

97
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,759
on the floor in front of my friends with silicone all over me

98
00:06:58,639 --> 00:07:04,080
it looks like i'll be able to do just that and microsoft will not be testing

99
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:09,120
its project x cloud streaming service in north america opting to go with korea

100
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:14,400
instead because they have excellent 5g coverage and high bandwidth and low

101
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:18,639
latency yeah okay yeah it all sounds pretty i can't pretend

102
00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:22,400
i'm not hurt though so thanks for dropping by and come back

103
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:27,120
again on monday for more tech news if i'm not here it's because i'm i'm still

104
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,840
waiting around to get peeled because that's what i do on the weekends
