WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.359
oh tech news

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:11.280
my god have you ever beheld something so

00:00:08.639 --> 00:00:11.280
glorious

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:22.000
since AMD left Intel in the price to performance dust with the ryzen 3000

00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:24.400
launch team blue has picked up the old

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:29.439
real world performance refrain you see AMD often uses synthetic benchmarks like

00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:34.960
cinebench to demonstrate their processor superiority but at ifa 2019 Intel once

00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:39.600
again argued that users shouldn't be tricked by these numbers since they

00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:43.840
don't represent real world real-world real-world performance that's how they

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:48.239
talk when they're upset yeah Intel wants the tech press and oems to accept their

00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:52.719
help to develop realistic usage performance testing using stuff like

00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:57.520
Windows media player okay league of legends and photoshop and

00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:03.600
if that means Intel's processors look better i'm sure that's just incidental

00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:08.000
to the benefit that users will be seeing from more accurate numbers yeah that

00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:13.680
sounds about right i'm being sarcastic we want a real world let's use Windows

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:16.320
media player samsung is delaying

00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:20.720
pre-orders of the galaxy fold again so to lay this all out they've

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

00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:29.920
screen protector canceled the pre-orders and delayed the phone

00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:33.439
announced a new launch window and have now cancelled that

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

00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:46.240
well there's another twist the phone actually launched already in korea and

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:48.479
promptly sold out but for us

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

00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:56.240
person in korea watching this episode

00:01:53.360 --> 00:02:00.240
comment if you are oh anyways the extra work that samsung did on the phone

00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:06.320
seems to have improved it according to end gadget with a reinforced structure

00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:09.119
and a display that doesn't shout feel me

00:02:06.320 --> 00:02:13.920
feel me so huawei's mate x will actually have a competitor when it launches next

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:18.959
month the fold is supposed to launch again in the us in the coming weeks but

00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:22.560
it's not coming to canada at all what ever

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

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

00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:35.280
next time yeah try again and deep fakes

00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:38.720
aren't just fun in games anymore we've now experienced the first high

00:02:36.959 --> 00:02:41.200
profile case of the technology being used to steal

00:02:40.239 --> 00:02:46.319
huge huge amounts of money last week the wall street journal

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:51.200
reported that an executive of a uk energy company received a call from

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:54.959
someone he thought was his boss but was actually a digitally reproduced deep

00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:58.400
faith the voice was reportedly indistinguishable from the real thing

00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:03.760
especially when you're drunk this is wall street and so the executive did

00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:06.239
what he was instructed and wired 220

00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:10.080
dollars into an offshore account normal wall street stuff the thieves actually

00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:14.640
called the same guy up again to try and arrange another transfer but he got

00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:19.840
suspicious and called his actual boss wait a second let me call you right back

00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:24.480
but by then it was too late he'd already been

00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:28.640
defect we've seen a lot of handwringing about the potential of defects uh doing

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:33.120
harm and well it turns out the potential was real

00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:35.360
it was real fake it's it's fortuitous

00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:40.720
that microsoft and facebook are teaming up to launch the deep fake detection

00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:43.920
challenge the dtc i'm going to call it which will offer 10 million dollars in

00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:48.640
research grants to develop deep fake detecting technology which will

00:03:45.920 --> 00:03:52.319
basically just serve as an adversarial neural network to improve defect

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

00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:01.760
have to develop deep fake detection faking faking and we'll be so busy with

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

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

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

00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:19.440
device a battery pack portable dual band wireless router and a wireless backup

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:23.600
tool for your other portable devices what is this a joke

00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:28.320
no it's not you can use the filehub's built-in 6700 milliamp hour battery to

00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:33.040
charge your phone or tablet plug it into a wired network to provide high-speed

chromecasts you name it is there anything it can't do

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:49.919
love although i don't even want to say that it might be able to love

00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:55.280
check out the ravpower filehub at the link below mighty brave you to show your

00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:59.360
face around these parts quick bits ifa 2019 is in full swing and there's a

00:04:57.919 --> 00:05:04.320
ton of products being announced including nokia feature phones

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:08.000
lenovo laptops and monitors motorola phones

00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:12.000
a slightly altered huawei p30 pro that's a blatant attempt to get around the

00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:16.160
Android van huawei's noise canceling airpod rip-offs

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

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:24.320
attachment for the lg g8 are you gonna talk about them

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

00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:34.960
enter the mainstream 5g modems are being directly integrated into samsung's new

00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:37.520
exynos 980 and huawei's current 990 5g

00:05:34.960 --> 00:05:41.199
mobile processors plus qualcomm says their chipsets will have integrated 5g

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

00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:50.880
the galaxy a90 buy it

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

00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:58.800
out in the middle of the street take care Android 10 promises to speed

00:05:56.960 --> 00:06:03.199
up security updates for phones and it can't come to non-pixels soon enough and

00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:07.360
i have a pixel so i already got it checkpoint research has discovered a

00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:12.000
spoofing attack that can infect a device just by having an end user open a link

00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:15.759
in a text message oh god we're doomed and another vulnerability in an Android

00:06:14.080 --> 00:06:18.960
video driver that was also disclosed this week could give attackers access to

00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:23.360
the os kernel so update your phones and if you

00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:27.840
can't request that in patching uh request

00:06:26.479 --> 00:06:32.080
acquiesce yeah requests

00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:37.520
nintendo is teasing what looks like another newfangled weirdo fitness

00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:40.000
doohickey for the switch involving a

00:06:37.520 --> 00:06:44.319
stretchy handheld ring and a thigh-high strap into which you insert the

00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:48.800
console's joy-cons to track your movements

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

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

00:06:55.520 --> 00:06:59.759
on the floor in front of my friends with silicone all over me

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

00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:09.120
its project x cloud streaming service in north america opting to go with korea

00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:14.400
instead because they have excellent 5g coverage and high bandwidth and low

00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:18.639
latency yeah okay yeah it all sounds pretty i can't pretend

00:07:17.039 --> 00:07:22.400
i'm not hurt though so thanks for dropping by and come back

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

00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:30.840
waiting around to get peeled because that's what i do on the weekends
