00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.240
hi i'm riley welcome to techlinks

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:13.040
last week AMD took the wraps off their threadripper 3960x and 3970x processors

00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:18.320
but while those parts boast 24 and 32 cores respectively

00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:25.680
that ain't nothing compared to big mama AMD may be announcing a

00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:27.920
3990x with 64 cores and 128 threads real

00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:33.040
soon you see MSI released a video recently demoing its creator trx40

00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:38.320
motherboard and in one clip the video shows a pc with task manager open

00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:42.800
showing the number of threads there's 16 columns and eight rows and i'm no

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:47.520
mathematician so how many threads is that taryn uh i wasn't paying attention

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

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:57.600
MSI of course promptly took down the video but not before it was captured and

00:00:55.440 --> 00:01:00.719
immortalized on the internet so keep your eyes and ears peeled for the

00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:04.960
official announcement of this behemoth soon although it's probably going to be

00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:09.200
over three thousand dollars quick how many dollars per thread

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

00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:18.880
youtube verse has been all riled up recently

00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:22.960
over changes made to the video site's terms of service which indicate that

00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:27.680
youtube could deactivate channels if they're not commercially viable the

00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:31.600
uproar was sparked by a line in the tos that previously said youtube may

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:36.159
terminate its legal agreement with you if the provision of the service to you

00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:39.119
by youtube is in youtube's opinion no

00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:44.079
longer commercially viable now the line reads youtube may terminate your access

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:47.759
or your google account's access to all or part of the service if youtube

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:53.119
believes in its sole discretion that provision of the service to you is no

00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:55.280
longer commercially viable so

00:01:53.119 --> 00:01:59.759
the new language has sparked concern though among users that youtube could

00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:03.840
start banning people who use adblock since that directly takes away from

00:02:01.600 --> 00:02:07.680
youtube's revenue and creators revenue as well i might add but youtube says

00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:12.080
that they're not changing anything about how youtube works just making sure the

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:16.000
terms are up to date the company got into a separate pot of hot water though

00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:20.720
over the bands its automated systems handed out to markiplier fans who

00:02:18.239 --> 00:02:24.959
spammed emotes in the chat during a live playthrough of the creators a heist with

00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:29.040
markiplier interactive show those accounts have now been reinstated but

00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:33.680
not before the whole thing added fuel to the anti-youtube fire

00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:37.920
hmm but that fire keeps me warm

00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:41.519
honey i live for the drama but here's something that we maybe

00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:45.680
should be concerned about google has allegedly been collecting the private

00:02:43.519 --> 00:02:50.879
health data of millions of americans across 21 states it's all part of an

00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:55.599
initiative called project nightingale and includes things like lab results

00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:59.680
doctor diagnoses hospitalization records and more the wall street journal says

00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:04.400
google is getting the data from st louis based ascension the second largest

00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:09.519
health company in the u.s and that 150 google employees have access to it now

00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:13.920
this all sounds kind of scandalous but apparently it's all completely legal and

00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:18.720
according to google patient privacy is being prioritized in project nightingale

00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:23.200
the ultimate goal is apparently to aggregate disparate patient data and

00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:26.319
host it all in one place which no joke i was literally just talking to

00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:30.560
someone the other day about how we need a central system like that

00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:33.760
and i'd rather have google do it than facebook

00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:37.120
but yeah

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:40.400
anyways no time to ponder the nature and morality of privacy it's time for the

00:03:38.799 --> 00:03:46.640
quick bits brought to you by the massdrop cos esp95x electrostatic

00:03:43.440 --> 00:03:48.640
headphones with energizer

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:53.599
it's quite the name this baby's a revival of the original esp released by

00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:58.280
kos in 1990 it was initially designed for live recording but has now been

00:03:55.519 --> 00:04:03.760
updated for the modern audio file the esp95x has unmatched audio quality with

00:04:01.200 --> 00:04:07.920
clean highs mids and bass and includes an energizer and battery pack to power

00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:11.840
the headphones it also comes with a cost lifetime limited warranty and is

00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:15.840
currently 100 bucks off so don't miss out join the drop at the link below

00:04:16.880 --> 00:04:23.120
better do the quick bits now you might have gotten excited by rumors

00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:28.160
that apple would be releasing its ar headset next year but sorry mac people

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:32.320
you'll have to wait until 2022 that's when cupertino is reportedly planning on

00:04:29.919 --> 00:04:37.040
launching it followed by a pair of smart glasses in 2023 hopefully apple can roll

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:42.400
them out with a smoother reception than google got with the google glass

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

00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:51.600
alliance for creativity and entertainment a benign sounding

00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:55.600
coalition with netflix amazon disney and hbo among its members are trying to

00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:58.400
figure out how to stop people from sharing their streaming service

00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:01.919
passwords possible solutions include requiring

00:05:00.320 --> 00:05:06.720
customers to change passwords periodically and receiving two-factor

00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:10.960
codes on their phones but as one analyst noted young people aren't going to pay

00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:15.120
for these services anyways because young people are poor mostly so if you make it

00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:18.240
harder for them to share passwords they might just pirate stuff

00:05:18.320 --> 00:05:24.240
tough situation speaking of young people things the centers for disease control

00:05:22.400 --> 00:05:28.240
say they have identified a possible culprit in the recent outbreak of

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:32.800
vaping-related injuries a chemical called vitamin e acetate has been found

00:05:30.400 --> 00:05:37.120
in the lungs of 29 affected patients it's used in foods supplements and skin

00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:42.639
creams but it's also a known additive to dilute vape liquid that contains

00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:44.160
thc the active ingredient in cannabis

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:48.400
while this is a promising development the cdc says there are likely more

00:05:46.080 --> 00:05:51.440
factors at play so in the meantime don't go by vaping products off the

00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:56.080
street in fact not just in the meantime ever

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

00:05:58.320 --> 00:06:06.400
code what does what would riley do sony has filed a patent for a game

00:06:03.039 --> 00:06:08.240
cartridge uh in 2019

00:06:06.400 --> 00:06:12.080
there are no other details that hint at what this cartridge could be intended

00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:16.319
for sony has denied rumors that they're working on a new ps vita handheld and

00:06:14.080 --> 00:06:20.479
the playstation 5 will use blu-ray discs for its physical games format unless

00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:26.800
neither of those are true and sony

00:06:21.919 --> 00:06:26.800
is making a 2019 sega genesis

00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.400
i've got to call the papers

00:06:30.400 --> 00:06:36.639
and spacex has shot some more of its starlink internet providing satellites

00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:41.360
into orbit marking the first time the company has reused a rocket fairing and

00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:44.880
the fourth time this particular falcon 9 rocket has taken off and landed

00:06:42.960 --> 00:06:48.960
successfully the satellites will be added to the existing 60 that were flown

00:06:46.880 --> 00:06:52.800
up there earlier this year and if you look up on a cloudless night

00:06:50.880 --> 00:06:56.720
you might be able to see them there's a lot of satellites up there you

00:06:54.400 --> 00:07:01.360
can see something yeah taryn enough of this nonsense what i'm not doing it

00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:05.199
