00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,020
welcome back to the show where we scale the Tower of tech news only to jump off

2
00:00:04,380 --> 00:00:12,240
tied to the fire hose of humor I'm your host John McLean yippie Kaye how's your

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:16,080
father Apple cares about keeping your data private in that they've been

4
00:00:14,099 --> 00:00:21,300
collecting it privately earlier this month developer and security research

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,000
team misc revealed that enabling the do

6
00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:28,980
not track setting on iOS devices does stop apps from tracking you as long as

7
00:00:26,580 --> 00:00:32,759
they're not Apple apps apparently several Apple apps collect the same

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:37,620
amount of information about you whether the anti-tracking setting is on or off

9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:43,860
the researchers found that the App Store App alone collects what you tap on what

10
00:00:40,739 --> 00:00:46,680
apps you search for what ads you see how

11
00:00:43,860 --> 00:00:49,440
you find an app and how long you look at that app please don't share that

12
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:55,980
information with my mom I don't download them I just look what's funny is that Apple announced the old Macintosh in a

13
00:00:53,399 --> 00:01:01,440
commercial saying you'll see why 1984 won't be like 1984. turns out that's

14
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:06,299
because they needed 38 years to get the tech right multiple first party apps

15
00:01:03,899 --> 00:01:10,140
also collected and sent details that could be used for device fingerprinting

16
00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:14,220
such as ID numbers the type of phone you're using the screen resolution your

17
00:01:12,659 --> 00:01:17,939
keyboard languages and how you're connected to the internet a class action

18
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:22,799
lawsuit has just been filed over this which makes sense given that the apps

19
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:26,700
seem to use consistent ID numbers which would allow Apple to track you across

20
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:30,180
its services which is exactly what people thought they were avoiding with

21
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:33,720
Apple's anti-tracking feature you're never gonna believe this but people are

22
00:01:32,340 --> 00:01:40,320
upset flying water you know yeah the RTX 4080

23
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:45,000
launched and in protest of the GPU's exorbitant price everyone must have

24
00:01:42,540 --> 00:01:50,159
bought two Micro Center Newegg and Best Buy sold out of the graphics card in an

25
00:01:47,220 --> 00:01:53,880
hour so good for NVIDIA travel news for us though to be fair to NVIDIA the

26
00:01:52,020 --> 00:01:59,100
benchmarks are impressive the 4080 systematically outperforms the 3090 TI

27
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:03,600
in most tests with performance gains of almost 30 percent in Ray tracing the

28
00:02:01,380 --> 00:02:07,140
4080 impresses in productivity too with almost double the blender Benchmark

29
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:12,959
performance of the 3080. so it makes total sense that it would be nearly

30
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:15,540
double the MSRP of the 3080 right

31
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:20,280
right right what makes less sense is the fact that the card only supports

32
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,720
DisplayPort 1.4 a so you can't take

33
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:26,280
advantage of next year's shiny new lineup of DP 2.1 compatible monitors but

34
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:30,180
that's only a problem for the scalper Bots until more stock launches and

35
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,720
people continue to buy this card for some reason who are these people who

36
00:02:32,099 --> 00:02:37,860
just because you can doesn't mean you should Elon Musk AKA I swear to God we

37
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:43,440
don't want to talk about every single episode but things keep happening has

38
00:02:40,860 --> 00:02:47,879
made some more things keep happening on Monday evening musk announced he was

39
00:02:45,540 --> 00:02:52,560
shutting down microservices at Twitter calling them bloatware and suddenly SMS

40
00:02:50,519 --> 00:02:56,220
two-factor authentication started breaking resulting in some people

41
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,660
getting locked out of their accounts the next day Twitter blew up with reports

42
00:02:58,140 --> 00:03:04,560
that employees who criticized Elon on Twitter or in the company's slack

43
00:03:02,099 --> 00:03:08,640
channels were fired overnight don't the age everybody is allowed on Twitter

44
00:03:05,819 --> 00:03:12,060
again boys HR never sleeps it's okay though they can still tweet on a

45
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:16,440
positive note it also came out that Twitter is bringing back end-to-end

46
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:20,099
encrypted DMS just some time to slide Baby Gotta give credit where credit's

47
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:24,239
due if Elon actually manages to improve Twitter in some way at the end of all of

48
00:03:22,379 --> 00:03:27,540
this we'll give him Kudos although telling you remaining Workforce that

49
00:03:25,739 --> 00:03:32,040
they need to work long and tense hours or lose their jobs has put them a bit in

50
00:03:30,060 --> 00:03:36,599
the tech link Kudos hole that's going down to a kuduno I'd been there now it's

62
00:04:17,100 --> 00:04:23,699
Microsoft published the results of an investigation of its sexual harassment

63
00:04:21,239 --> 00:04:27,840
policies performed by law firm aren't Fox shift they gave it the old aren't

64
00:04:25,740 --> 00:04:31,680
Fox sniff I'm pretty sure it's a sex move the investigation comes in response

65
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:37,020
to allegations against high-profile Microsoft alums like Alex kipman who

66
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:42,000
invented the hololens which sucks and Bill Gates who invented the bowl cut

67
00:04:39,060 --> 00:04:45,479
which rules amazing products the 50-page report released by The Firm has been

68
00:04:43,740 --> 00:04:48,960
criticized for not thoroughly probing the allegations against Gates they

69
00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:53,100
probably felt that Gates has done enough probing already yeah spicy Ubisoft and

70
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:58,020
Riot games have announced a partnership on a new research project meant to

71
00:04:55,139 --> 00:05:02,040
reduce toxicity in in-game chats no System of a Down the companies plan to

72
00:05:00,180 --> 00:05:06,600
build AI tools trained to detect disruptive behaviors and Britney Spears

73
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:10,740
Ubisoft and Riot helped you create a framework to allow the sharing tagging

74
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:15,240
and collection of data while maintaining privacy to collect the toxic data to

75
00:05:12,780 --> 00:05:18,780
train this AI Ubisoft and Riot made the groundbreaking decision to spend years

76
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:22,080
faster string work based environments of harassment and discrimination so brave

77
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:26,520
really ahead of the curve I knew that a purpose Intel has lost a patent lawsuit

78
00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:30,800
involving the company's Skylake and Cascade Lake processors team blue has

79
00:05:28,740 --> 00:05:36,720
been ordered to pay 948.8 million dollars to vlsi technology

80
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:40,560
a Silicon Valley firm that designs and manufactures custom integrated circuits

81
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:44,220
this marks the first time Intel has been charged to the nose for Intel CPUs taste

82
00:05:42,660 --> 00:05:49,020
your own medicine actually notice in vlsi 12.18 billion dollars in a separate

83
00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:53,100
patent infringement case against until last year until made 79 billion in

84
00:05:51,300 --> 00:05:57,180
Revenue last year so I'm sure they're desperate to recoup their attorney fees

85
00:05:55,139 --> 00:06:01,039
everyone hates Microsoft teams especially me but wait it's fun now says

86
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,580
Microsoft They just added the ability to add the

87
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:09,720
games for work app which will allow you to play games in teams meetings for a

88
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,780
team building if you think the peak game experience was losing internet

89
00:06:10,919 --> 00:06:17,660
connection in the early 2000s get excited you can now play Minesweeper and

90
00:06:15,060 --> 00:06:21,720
Solitaire why with your code Microsoft claims that each game in the

91
00:06:20,220 --> 00:06:25,020
collection is oriented toward a different element of team building so

92
00:06:23,220 --> 00:06:28,139
get ready to have a corporate mandated fun with the people you tolerate for

93
00:06:26,940 --> 00:06:35,880
eight hours a day but we're friends though right James the European Union is considering

94
00:06:31,380 --> 00:06:39,060
putting data centers in space a study is

95
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,800
being led by fails elenia space a joint

96
00:06:39,060 --> 00:06:46,199
venture between European Aerospace and defense companies thales and Leonardo

97
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:48,180
fails Leonardo Tales to assess if the

98
00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:52,020
CO2 emissions a building and launching an orbiting data center would be

99
00:06:49,860 --> 00:06:56,759
significantly lower than building one on the boring old ground you know Earth it

100
00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:01,080
ends in F they're also determine if it's feasible to launch a data center a whole

101
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:04,699
data center man I've heard of cloud storage but this is ridiculous

102
00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:12,300
wow just don't clean it with a vacuum and it would be ridiculous for you to

103
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:16,259
not come back on Friday for more Tech news we're only a humble ground-based

104
00:07:14,699 --> 00:07:19,100
operation but I think our jokes are out of this world
