00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,240
hi i'm riley welcome to techlinks

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:13,040
last week AMD took the wraps off their threadripper 3960x and 3970x processors

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:18,320
but while those parts boast 24 and 32 cores respectively

4
00:00:15,519 --> 00:00:25,680
that ain't nothing compared to big mama AMD may be announcing a

5
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:27,920
3990x with 64 cores and 128 threads real

6
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:33,040
soon you see MSI released a video recently demoing its creator trx40

7
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:38,320
motherboard and in one clip the video shows a pc with task manager open

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:42,800
showing the number of threads there's 16 columns and eight rows and i'm no

9
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:47,520
mathematician so how many threads is that taryn uh i wasn't paying attention

10
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:53,360
yeah it's classic i already said how much it was it's 128. it's 128. come on

11
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:57,600
MSI of course promptly took down the video but not before it was captured and

12
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:00,719
immortalized on the internet so keep your eyes and ears peeled for the

13
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:04,960
official announcement of this behemoth soon although it's probably going to be

14
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:09,200
over three thousand dollars quick how many dollars per thread

15
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:14,479
i don't know i thought you were good at tech no you're a smart guy uh no the

16
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:18,880
youtube verse has been all riled up recently

17
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:22,960
over changes made to the video site's terms of service which indicate that

18
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:27,680
youtube could deactivate channels if they're not commercially viable the

19
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:31,600
uproar was sparked by a line in the tos that previously said youtube may

20
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:36,159
terminate its legal agreement with you if the provision of the service to you

21
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:39,119
by youtube is in youtube's opinion no

22
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:44,079
longer commercially viable now the line reads youtube may terminate your access

23
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:47,759
or your google account's access to all or part of the service if youtube

24
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:53,119
believes in its sole discretion that provision of the service to you is no

25
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:55,280
longer commercially viable so

26
00:01:53,119 --> 00:01:59,759
the new language has sparked concern though among users that youtube could

27
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:03,840
start banning people who use adblock since that directly takes away from

28
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:07,680
youtube's revenue and creators revenue as well i might add but youtube says

29
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:12,080
that they're not changing anything about how youtube works just making sure the

30
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:16,000
terms are up to date the company got into a separate pot of hot water though

31
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:20,720
over the bands its automated systems handed out to markiplier fans who

32
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:24,959
spammed emotes in the chat during a live playthrough of the creators a heist with

33
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:29,040
markiplier interactive show those accounts have now been reinstated but

34
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:33,680
not before the whole thing added fuel to the anti-youtube fire

35
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:37,920
hmm but that fire keeps me warm

36
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:41,519
honey i live for the drama but here's something that we maybe

37
00:02:39,519 --> 00:02:45,680
should be concerned about google has allegedly been collecting the private

38
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:50,879
health data of millions of americans across 21 states it's all part of an

39
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:55,599
initiative called project nightingale and includes things like lab results

40
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:59,680
doctor diagnoses hospitalization records and more the wall street journal says

41
00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:04,400
google is getting the data from st louis based ascension the second largest

42
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:09,519
health company in the u.s and that 150 google employees have access to it now

43
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:13,920
this all sounds kind of scandalous but apparently it's all completely legal and

44
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:18,720
according to google patient privacy is being prioritized in project nightingale

45
00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:23,200
the ultimate goal is apparently to aggregate disparate patient data and

46
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:26,319
host it all in one place which no joke i was literally just talking to

47
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:30,560
someone the other day about how we need a central system like that

48
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:33,760
and i'd rather have google do it than facebook

49
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:37,120
but yeah

50
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,400
anyways no time to ponder the nature and morality of privacy it's time for the

51
00:03:38,799 --> 00:03:46,640
quick bits brought to you by the massdrop cos esp95x electrostatic

52
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:48,640
headphones with energizer

53
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:53,599
it's quite the name this baby's a revival of the original esp released by

54
00:03:50,959 --> 00:03:58,280
kos in 1990 it was initially designed for live recording but has now been

55
00:03:55,519 --> 00:04:03,760
updated for the modern audio file the esp95x has unmatched audio quality with

56
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:07,920
clean highs mids and bass and includes an energizer and battery pack to power

57

59
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:23,120
better do the quick bits now you might have gotten excited by rumors

60
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:28,160
that apple would be releasing its ar headset next year but sorry mac people

61
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:32,320
you'll have to wait until 2022 that's when cupertino is reportedly planning on

62
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:37,040
launching it followed by a pair of smart glasses in 2023 hopefully apple can roll

63
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:42,400
them out with a smoother reception than google got with the google glass

64
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:46,479
it's an apple product people will want to have their picture taken i'm sure the

65
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:51,600
alliance for creativity and entertainment a benign sounding

66
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:55,600
coalition with netflix amazon disney and hbo among its members are trying to

67
00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:58,400
figure out how to stop people from sharing their streaming service

68
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,919
passwords possible solutions include requiring

69
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:06,720
customers to change passwords periodically and receiving two-factor

70
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:10,960
codes on their phones but as one analyst noted young people aren't going to pay

71
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:15,120
for these services anyways because young people are poor mostly so if you make it

72
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:18,240
harder for them to share passwords they might just pirate stuff

73
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:24,240
tough situation speaking of young people things the centers for disease control

74
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:28,240
say they have identified a possible culprit in the recent outbreak of

75
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:32,800
vaping-related injuries a chemical called vitamin e acetate has been found

76
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:37,120
in the lungs of 29 affected patients it's used in foods supplements and skin

77
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:42,639
creams but it's also a known additive to dilute vape liquid that contains

78
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,160
thc the active ingredient in cannabis

79
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:48,400
while this is a promising development the cdc says there are likely more

80
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,440
factors at play so in the meantime don't go by vaping products off the

81
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:56,080
street in fact not just in the meantime ever

82
00:05:53,840 --> 00:06:01,120
in fact you know what don't even vape it upsets me that's where i get my moral

83
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:06,400
code what does what would riley do sony has filed a patent for a game

84
00:06:03,039 --> 00:06:08,240
cartridge uh in 2019

85
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:12,080
there are no other details that hint at what this cartridge could be intended

86
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:16,319
for sony has denied rumors that they're working on a new ps vita handheld and

87
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:20,479
the playstation 5 will use blu-ray discs for its physical games format unless

88
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:26,800
neither of those are true and sony

89
00:06:21,919 --> 00:06:26,800
is making a 2019 sega genesis

90
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:30,400
i've got to call the papers

91
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:36,639
and spacex has shot some more of its starlink internet providing satellites

92
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:41,360
into orbit marking the first time the company has reused a rocket fairing and

93
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:44,880
the fourth time this particular falcon 9 rocket has taken off and landed

94
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:48,960
successfully the satellites will be added to the existing 60 that were flown

95
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:52,800
up there earlier this year and if you look up on a cloudless night

96
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:56,720
you might be able to see them there's a lot of satellites up there you

97
00:06:54,400 --> 00:07:01,360
can see something yeah taryn enough of this nonsense what i'm not doing it

98
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:05,199
anymore okay come back on wednesday for more tech news i promise it'll be worth

99
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:09,440
your while oh and we'll probably be doing that one million subscriber uh q a

100
