00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:07.379
guys it's time to forget about all the crazy stuff going on out there and focus

00:00:04.259 --> 00:00:08.820
on what really matters okay

00:00:07.379 --> 00:00:13.139
the tech news feel it Apple may have changed course

00:00:11.340 --> 00:00:17.100
and added more ports to their latest MacBook Pro Models but there are still

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:21.840
companies out there with the courage to make a laptop with no ports at all a

00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:25.820
concept notebook has been making the rounds online designed by a company

00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:30.599
called crab crowb I'm guessing the name comes from

00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:33.920
crabs which also have no ports they're almost completely smooth they have a

00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:39.000
cloaca maybe the crab X is incredibly thin at just

00:00:37.260 --> 00:00:43.200
seven millimeters in height presumably because all the circuitry for its

00:00:40.860 --> 00:00:47.040
non-existent ports has been removed and placed into its wireless charging brick

00:00:45.059 --> 00:00:52.340
which magnetically attaches to the back of the laptop's display and offers some

00:00:49.860 --> 00:00:57.899
USBC ports and SD card slot and more look we're all for minimalism but even I

00:00:55.860 --> 00:01:02.960
could admit this is taking it a bit too far being that smooth

00:01:00.539 --> 00:01:07.380
it's unnatural you need some crevices Gamer's Nexus has once again exposed

00:01:05.460 --> 00:01:11.100
some shady practices by a tech company with their latest video in which they

00:01:09.299 --> 00:01:16.799
detail their experience returning an unopened product to Newegg only to be

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:18.960
denied a refund due to customer caused

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:21.780
damage ah New Egg must have failed to mention all the little customers that

00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:25.920
come inside the Box you can't do anything about those bacteria

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:34.020
the product in question was a 500 motherboard mint in the box but Newegg

00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:35.159
said the CPU pins were bent Maybe by a

00:01:34.020 --> 00:01:38.820
ghost the gamer's Nexus investigation prompted

00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:42.780
many customers to share their own negative experiences with Newegg returns

00:01:40.619 --> 00:01:47.040
and Newegg has apparently been calling Steve like a clingy X so hopefully this

00:01:45.420 --> 00:01:51.479
leads to some positive changes at the retailer I think we can all agree

00:01:49.259 --> 00:01:57.600
we don't want another NCIX and ensuing dumpster refugees and in nft

00:01:55.380 --> 00:02:01.920
news The Verge thinks they can just come out here and tell everybody that

00:01:59.579 --> 00:02:07.740
actually we're all gonna call them nests from now on

00:02:04.700 --> 00:02:09.899
neft I mean on the plus side it's one

00:02:07.740 --> 00:02:14.400
syllable instead of three but on the other hand just who the [ __ ] does the

00:02:11.580 --> 00:02:19.140
verse think they are huh nefts I'm gonna say nefts there's too many consonants

00:02:16.980 --> 00:02:23.040
whether neft catches on or not The Fad doesn't seem to be going away anytime

00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:27.360
soon even though EA did just walk back its earlier comments about incorporating

00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:31.620
nfts into their games the tokens seem to simultaneously be gaining Steam while

00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:35.340
also suffering from negative publicity with recent reports about nfts being

00:02:33.420 --> 00:02:38.760
used for money laundering and a confirmation from the formerly

00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:42.599
facebook-backed DM Association that they're selling off their assets

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.620
meanwhile the rest of us are neft asking what's neft

00:02:45.660 --> 00:02:51.660
you see their minting colors now what they're making colors nfts where the

00:02:50.700 --> 00:02:57.660
person thinks they're going to get royalties every time so the color you

00:02:53.760 --> 00:02:59.640
can mint an nft of the color red yes

00:02:57.660 --> 00:03:03.840

tried everything else trust me this this is it this is what you get the New York

00:03:44.459 --> 00:03:51.120
Times has acquired the massively popular word guessing game Wordle for a sum of

00:03:48.780 --> 00:03:56.700
money somewhere in the low seven figures marking a real juicy Payday for the

00:03:53.760 --> 00:04:00.659
simple apps Creator Josh Wardle still hilarious but if you're concerned

00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:05.519
that the free game will eventually be put behind a paywall good news the web

00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:10.140
version can be saved as simply as any web page and will still update with a

00:04:07.500 --> 00:04:17.100
daily word for potentially years from now everybody wins right is it is

00:04:14.580 --> 00:04:21.239
everybody winning here not having some kind of dystopian takeaway seems weird I

00:04:19.019 --> 00:04:26.520
I don't know the newest beta for the default Android messages app translates

00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:28.199
iMessage tapback reactions into Emoji

00:04:26.520 --> 00:04:32.759
instead of displaying a duplicated message that says Jim loved at the start

00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:36.960
making communication between the phone ecosystems feel more human and less like

00:04:35.400 --> 00:04:41.639
an alternate universe where everyone only speaks in third person Riley really

00:04:39.479 --> 00:04:45.360
loved that European privacy Regulators from 28 countries led by the Belgian

00:04:43.740 --> 00:04:50.280
data protection authority have ruled that website's pervasive pop-ups asking

00:04:47.940 --> 00:04:55.440
for consent to collect user data are actually illegal under the eu's general

00:04:52.620 --> 00:04:58.860
data protection regulation or gdpr even though that regulation was the sole

00:04:57.540 --> 00:05:03.300
reason they were created in the first place ad tech industry group IAB Europe

00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:08.040
which developed the practice has been issued a 283 thousand dollar fine and

00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:12.900
the group is now considering legal action against the fine because it's

00:05:10.259 --> 00:05:16.080
been like four years what is it are we are we sure this find isn't just because

00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:20.460
Boomer politicians realize what the pop-ups are for they're like what is it

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:25.020
hey wait a second the monitor refresh rate arms race has just intensified

00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:30.539
Chinese screen manufacturer Boe has just announced a 1080p monitor that can hit

00:05:27.380 --> 00:05:31.740
500 Hertz it'll be a while before the

00:05:30.539 --> 00:05:35.639
tech rolls out in products from companies like ASUS or Gigabyte but just

00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:40.860
knowing it's out there is nice for crypto haters maybe this is a different

00:05:37.620 --> 00:05:42.900
way to go to the moon and maybe the

00:05:40.860 --> 00:05:46.199
frames will win the games after all David

00:05:44.460 --> 00:05:49.380
are you competitive you don't play Camp you're just playing Castlevania all the

00:05:47.820 --> 00:05:54.060
time now all the time that doesn't that's not you don't need frames for

00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:56.160
that and hey

00:05:54.060 --> 00:06:00.900
wait a second wasn't NVIDIA supposed to give more details about the GeForce RTX

00:05:58.139 --> 00:06:05.039
3090 TI by the end of January it's February 2nd and it's probably even

00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:09.000
later than that if you're on the upside down part of the world from where we are

00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:12.000
what gives Team Green I thought you were going to release it so everyone would

00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:16.199
remember how upset they are at you for continually releasing new more expensive

00:06:14.220 --> 00:06:20.180
versions of gpus instead of just upping the stock of existing cards

00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:24.900
now we're even more upset yeah the only way to get over this is to

00:06:23.220 --> 00:06:27.840
come back on Friday for more Tech News until then

00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:32.280
I guess you'll have to go back to thinking about non-tech stuff Godspeed
