it's a me your favorite plumber of Italian descent Wahoo I'm here to bring
you a piping hot plate of tech news with meatballs let's go to the stories Elon
Musk aka the one musketeer did and said
nothing newsworthy is what I was hoping to say today
instead Elon is going to war with apple who he claims has not only mostly
stopped advertising on Twitter but has also threatened to withhold Twitter from
the App Store Apple has yet to comment thankfully Elon must force their hand
with one of his beloved Twitter polls which determined that Apple should
publish all their censorship actions so legally they have to now I think you
should do a poll to make Tim Apple reveal his birth certificate I've heard
he might be some scary foreign Apple like a Gala all reports saying he's a
Honeycrisp for fake news Elon even stated that he would be willing to make
his own phone if Apple and Google blocked Twitter from their app stores
but do you really need to be the CEO of a fourth company Elon meanwhile Twitter
updated their policy on how to deal with kova 19 misinformation specifically they
won't anymore no need when you can download all the right info directly
into your brain or that's what I expect Elon to be revealing at tonight's neural
League event better with the 5G in way cooler news scientists modeled
wormhole-like Behavior using a quantum computer this might get technical but
that's because this script was written by a huge space simp so bear with me
using general relativity Einstein and Nathan Rosen theorized the existence of
bridges that connect black holes a black hole on either side what we might call
wormholes and what biologists call the taint they believed the Wormhole would
close the instant anything entered but according to the 2D model researchers
made on Google Sycamore quantum computer by entangling mouths of the Wormhole you
could use the particles on your side to manipulate those on the other side and
keep the Wormhole open this doesn't mean that we've confirmed you can travel
through real black holes but hey if you have a way to reach one and try it out
for yourself I won't stop you Elon I just assume it's on his bucket list he
doesn't know where the other side is he just puts his finger in and prays and
some Chinese social media users are reporting their Huawei phones or
automatic automatically deleting videos they took of widespread anti-government
protests Edward Lawrence a senior journalist for BBC's China Bureau
tweeted that the police are also forcing people to delete photos of areas where
protests had been occurring they're not trying to hide anything the police just
want to maintain the copyright for their upcoming protest nfts but if that's true
why did the CCP pass a law that will punish citizens for liking what they
deem to be illegal or harmful content they didn't really Define what they mean
by harmful but I'm sure their definitions are rock solid there's way
too much Winnie the Pooh content out there anyway real oh bother there's also
been some controversy surrounding Apple in China as they've implemented an iOS
update that automatically turns off your ability to receive airdrops from
everyone after 10 minutes apple plans to
make the feature Global next year so I'm sure it's just a coincidence that a change to a feature that has
historically helpful protesters and authoritarian countries avoid censorship first rolled out in an authoritarian
country right after a protest now it's time for the quick bits brought to you

secret lab today a man once told me hey
James your equip bits are the fastest thing I've ever seen and that man he was
Usain Bolt hold on let me pick up this name you just dropped
he's fast we're friends why have a waifu or husbando when you can be a waifu or
husbando these are the Revolutionary technological innovations we expect from
Sony who just announced macopi an affordable motion capture rig made up of
six air tag-like sensors instead of the usual morph suit covered in ping pong
balls they've most likely done this to capitalize on the popularity of bee
tubers but they could also just really wanted to make a fun dance video
sometimes dancing just takes the World by storm remember DDR remember Tick Tock
in a massive win for Killer Robots City supervisors in San Francisco say that
five times fast voted yesterday to allow police to use robots lethally in
emergency situations it's worth noting that the San Francisco Police Department
stated they have no pre-armed robots and
they have no plans to ARM robots with guns no word on knives though so watch
out for Roberto he'll stab you with his stabby knife and what about bombs
probably bombs bombs away Roberto
twitch announced a new safety feature called Shield mode designed to protect
creators from hate raids it will allow streamers and their mods to mass ban
Chatters using a specific word or phrase or prohibit first time Chatters from
uttering it at all it's basically like the Master Chief's bubble Shield
but instead of blocking plasma bolts it
protects you from cringy Edge Lords like Riley cope and Seed now and become death
destroyer of trolls a group of researchers led by a team at MIT has
discovered a way to quickly and wirelessly form Optical beams out of
light lightsabers they developed a new
spatial light modulator or slm a device that manipulates light by controlling
its emission properties that sounds like a lightsaber to me that's the lights the
researchers say that applications for the tech include making lidar sensors a
million times faster or speeding up brain scanners which in turn would
reduce image noise from tissue motion those are the early applications later
lightsabers and the space Sim strikes again astronomers around the world are
concerned that internet satellites continually being launched into orbit
might shine too brightly and make it hard to see anything else in the night
sky it's about time the constellation's got an update this comes after company
AST space mobile launched blue Walker 3
a satellite that directly connects with cell phones on Earth astronomers say
there are maybe 16 stars brighter than blue Walker and AST plans to launch a
constellation of almost 100 more satellites who cares about studying
space when you can tweet hot takes while being mauled by a wild bear but will
keep you safe from bears on Friday if you come back that is for more Tech link
our stories are unbearable
