WEBVTT 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 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 00:00:10.440 --> 00:00:16.080 father Apple cares about keeping your data private in that they've been 00:00:14.099 --> 00:00:21.300 collecting it privately earlier this month developer and security research 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:24.000 team misc revealed that enabling the do 00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:28.980 not track setting on iOS devices does stop apps from tracking you as long as 00:00:26.580 --> 00:00:32.759 they're not Apple apps apparently several Apple apps collect the same 00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:37.620 amount of information about you whether the anti-tracking setting is on or off 00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:43.860 the researchers found that the App Store App alone collects what you tap on what 00:00:40.739 --> 00:00:46.680 apps you search for what ads you see how 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 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 00:00:53.399 --> 00:01:01.440 commercial saying you'll see why 1984 won't be like 1984. turns out that's 00:00:59.160 --> 00:01:06.299 because they needed 38 years to get the tech right multiple first party apps 00:01:03.899 --> 00:01:10.140 also collected and sent details that could be used for device fingerprinting 00:01:08.100 --> 00:01:14.220 such as ID numbers the type of phone you're using the screen resolution your 00:01:12.659 --> 00:01:17.939 keyboard languages and how you're connected to the internet a class action 00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:22.799 lawsuit has just been filed over this which makes sense given that the apps 00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:26.700 seem to use consistent ID numbers which would allow Apple to track you across 00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:30.180 its services which is exactly what people thought they were avoiding with 00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:33.720 Apple's anti-tracking feature you're never gonna believe this but people are 00:01:32.340 --> 00:01:40.320 upset flying water you know yeah the RTX 4080 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:45.000 launched and in protest of the GPU's exorbitant price everyone must have 00:01:42.540 --> 00:01:50.159 bought two Micro Center Newegg and Best Buy sold out of the graphics card in an 00:01:47.220 --> 00:01:53.880 hour so good for NVIDIA travel news for us though to be fair to NVIDIA the 00:01:52.020 --> 00:01:59.100 benchmarks are impressive the 4080 systematically outperforms the 3090 TI 00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:03.600 in most tests with performance gains of almost 30 percent in Ray tracing the 00:02:01.380 --> 00:02:07.140 4080 impresses in productivity too with almost double the blender Benchmark 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:12.959 performance of the 3080. so it makes total sense that it would be nearly 00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:15.540 double the MSRP of the 3080 right 00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:20.280 right right what makes less sense is the fact that the card only supports 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:21.720 DisplayPort 1.4 a so you can't take 00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:26.280 advantage of next year's shiny new lineup of DP 2.1 compatible monitors but 00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:30.180 that's only a problem for the scalper Bots until more stock launches and 00:02:28.440 --> 00:02:33.720 people continue to buy this card for some reason who are these people who 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 00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:43.440 don't want to talk about every single episode but things keep happening has 00:02:40.860 --> 00:02:47.879 made some more things keep happening on Monday evening musk announced he was 00:02:45.540 --> 00:02:52.560 shutting down microservices at Twitter calling them bloatware and suddenly SMS 00:02:50.519 --> 00:02:56.220 two-factor authentication started breaking resulting in some people 00:02:54.000 --> 00:03:00.660 getting locked out of their accounts the next day Twitter blew up with reports 00:02:58.140 --> 00:03:04.560 that employees who criticized Elon on Twitter or in the company's slack 00:03:02.099 --> 00:03:08.640 channels were fired overnight don't the age everybody is allowed on Twitter 00:03:05.819 --> 00:03:12.060 again boys HR never sleeps it's okay though they can still tweet on a 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:16.440 positive note it also came out that Twitter is bringing back end-to-end 00:03:13.860 --> 00:03:20.099 encrypted DMS just some time to slide Baby Gotta give credit where credit's 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 00:03:22.379 --> 00:03:27.540 this we'll give him Kudos although telling you remaining Workforce that 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 00:03:30.060 --> 00:03:36.599 the tech link Kudos hole that's going down to a kuduno I'd

harassment 00:04:21.239 --> 00:04:27.840 policies performed by law firm aren't Fox shift they gave it the old aren't 00:04:25.740 --> 00:04:31.680 Fox sniff I'm pretty sure it's a sex move the investigation comes in response 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:37.020 to allegations against high-profile Microsoft alums like Alex kipman who 00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:42.000 invented the hololens which sucks and Bill Gates who invented the bowl cut 00:04:39.060 --> 00:04:45.479 which rules amazing products the 50-page report released by The Firm has been 00:04:43.740 --> 00:04:48.960 criticized for not thoroughly probing the allegations against Gates they 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:53.100 probably felt that Gates has done enough probing already yeah spicy Ubisoft and 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:58.020 Riot games have announced a partnership on a new research project meant to 00:04:55.139 --> 00:05:02.040 reduce toxicity in in-game chats no System of a Down the companies plan to 00:05:00.180 --> 00:05:06.600 build AI tools trained to detect disruptive behaviors and Britney Spears 00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:10.740 Ubisoft and Riot helped you create a framework to allow the sharing tagging 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:15.240 and collection of data while maintaining privacy to collect the toxic data to 00:05:12.780 --> 00:05:18.780 train this AI Ubisoft and Riot made the groundbreaking decision to spend years 00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:22.080 faster string work based environments of harassment and discrimination so brave 00:05:20.520 --> 00:05:26.520 really ahead of the curve I knew that a purpose Intel has lost a patent lawsuit 00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:30.800 involving the company's Skylake and Cascade Lake processors team blue has 00:05:28.740 --> 00:05:36.720 been ordered to pay 948.8 million dollars to vlsi technology 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:40.560 a Silicon Valley firm that designs and manufactures custom integrated circuits 00:05:38.520 --> 00:05:44.220 this marks the first time Intel has been charged to the nose for Intel CPUs taste 00:05:42.660 --> 00:05:49.020 your own medicine actually notice in vlsi 12.18 billion dollars in a separate 00:05:47.580 --> 00:05:53.100 patent infringement case against until last year until made 79 billion in 00:05:51.300 --> 00:05:57.180 Revenue last year so I'm sure they're desperate to recoup their attorney fees 00:05:55.139 --> 00:06:01.039 everyone hates Microsoft teams especially me but wait it's fun now says 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:05.580 Microsoft They just added the ability to add the 00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:09.720 games for work app which will allow you to play games in teams meetings for a 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:12.780 team building if you think the peak game experience was losing internet 00:06:10.919 --> 00:06:17.660 connection in the early 2000s get excited you can now play Minesweeper and 00:06:15.060 --> 00:06:21.720 Solitaire why with your code Microsoft claims that each game in the 00:06:20.220 --> 00:06:25.020 collection is oriented toward a different element of team building so 00:06:23.220 --> 00:06:28.139 get ready to have a corporate mandated fun with the people you tolerate for 00:06:26.940 --> 00:06:35.880 eight hours a day but we're friends though right James the European Union is considering 00:06:31.380 --> 00:06:39.060 putting data centers in space a study is 00:06:35.880 --> 00:06:40.800 being led by fails elenia space a joint 00:06:39.060 --> 00:06:46.199 venture between European Aerospace and defense companies thales and Leonardo 00:06:43.080 --> 00:06:48.180 fails Leonardo Tales to assess if the 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:52.020 CO2 emissions a building and launching an orbiting data center would be 00:06:49.860 --> 00:06:56.759 significantly lower than building one on the boring old ground you know Earth it 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 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:04.699 data center man I've heard of cloud storage but this is ridiculous 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 00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:16.259 not come back on Friday for more Tech news we're only a humble ground-based 00:07:14.699 --> 00:07:19.100 operation but I think our jokes are out of this world
