1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,640 Sorry, no stupid intro. Not that kind of day. Nintendo has been issued a 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:10,800 challenge by Brazil's official consumer protection agency over the company's 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:14,880 recently changed user agreement, which now gives Nintendo the right to remotely 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:19,680 brick your console if you muck around with it in a way Nintendo doesn't like. 5 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:24,480 The Brazilian watchdog wants Nintendo to remove the relevant clause from their 6 00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:27,359 agreement, citing legal reasons like not 7 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:31,359 violating consumers rights to access services they've paid for. But I just 8 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:36,399 hope they know who they're dealing with here. As far as I know, every Nintendo 9 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:40,719 employee has been to law school. But this whole Nintendo bricking consoles 10 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:46,480 thing took on a new dimension this week when a Redditor going by Bim Tongue said 11 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:51,440 they bought an open box Switch 2 from Walmart only to discover it was 12 00:00:48,559 --> 00:00:55,840 apparently pre-owned by a hooligan who got the console struck by Nintendo's 13 00:00:53,520 --> 00:01:00,079 online services ban. probably because they were trying to use it to hack an 14 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:04,400 orphanage or something disturbing. Suddenly, it's hitting a lot of people 15 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,799 presumably, or maybe just me, that the secondhand Switch market is about to 16 00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:13,920 become a bit of a minefield. I mean, sure, people and retailers can learn to 17 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:19,280 verify that the console isn't banned before buying or selling, but now that's 18 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:24,159 a thing we have to do because Nintendo decided that there wasn't enough e-waste 19 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:28,479 in the world. Meanwhile, over in Japan, there are numerous reports of Switch 2 20 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:33,200 consoles overheating, usually while playing Cyberpunk in docked mode, even 21 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:36,799 with the dock fans going full blast. Although, there have also been English 22 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:41,040 language Reddit posts about the Switch 2 getting hot while running. So, Nintendo 23 00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:45,119 fans might just be learning about how consoles get hot sometimes once they can 24 00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:50,640 render big boy games. Microsoft has announced another round of layoffs with 25 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:52,720 around 9,000 employees or about 4% of 26 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:57,680 the company's entire workforce getting chopped. A couple hundred of those cut 27 00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:03,360 jobs are coming from Xbox despite gaming chief Phil Spencer saying the Xbox 28 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:06,000 platform hardware and game road map have 29 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:11,520 never looked stronger. Xbox is the meatiest it's ever been. So, it's a 30 00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:13,440 perfect time to slice a nice big sirloin 31 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:18,879 off right out of there and gobble it up raw. As part of the layoff, some Xbox 32 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:23,920 projects are being cancelled, including the Perfect Dark reboot developed by The 33 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:29,599 Initiative, which is also being closed down, the studio, and Ever Wild, the 34 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:34,560 game announced in 2019 from Rare that looked like it was just about chilling 35 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:36,080 and doing magic with mystical beasts. 36 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:42,160 Well, if they didn't want to get cancelled, they should have made the game about lines and making them go up. 37 00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:46,480 Lesson learned. Open AAI is still trying to fight a court order in the New York 38 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:51,599 Times lawsuit, forcing them to retain and provide the chat GPT logs of all 39 00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:55,920 users. Something the company says they don't want to do because they care so so 40 00:02:54,160 --> 00:03:00,319 much about user privacy. You guys don't even know how much we care about user 41 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:04,720 privacy. It's it's a big deal. To be clear, privacy obviously is an issue 42 00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:09,120 with the order. But though OpenAI doesn't say it, the logs could also 43 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:14,159 reveal more evidence of copyright infringement or hallucinated nonsense 44 00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:18,959 improperly attributed to a source that didn't even say that. But also, the logs 45 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,800 could provide ammunition to potential plaintiffs looking to take the advice of 46 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:28,720 the judge who recently ruled that metaanthropic training their AI on 47 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:31,040 copyrighted materials was fair use, but 48 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:36,159 only because the plaintiffs in that case made the wrong arguments. They should 49 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:38,080 have worked at Nintendo first and gone 50 00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:42,879 to law school. That was dumb. The judge said other authors or news organizations 51 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:48,319 could make a stronger case against Meta or OpenAI by focusing on how the use of 52 00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:53,040 Llama or Chat GBT has affected the market for books or news content. Or if 53 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:57,439 you don't want to go the legal route, you could use Cloudflare's new payper 54 00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:02,319 crawl feature, which will let content creators charge AI companies to set 55 00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:07,760 their web crawlers loose on the creators content. After all, as NT columnist 56 00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:12,080 Kevin Ruse said in response to Sam Alman lamenting the violation of user privacy, 57 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,920 "It must be really hard when someone does something with your data you don't 58 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:20,160 want them to." Which is almost too perfect of a segue to our sponsor, 59 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,840 Delete Me, the professional personal data preservers.

Okay, I had a whole introduction for the Quickbits typed 67 00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:59,040 out, but my dog just ate it. I swear AMD 68 00:04:56,479 --> 00:05:04,080 has dropped new GPU drivers that boost the RX970 XT's gaming performance by up 69 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:08,800 to 27% according to extensive testing by 70 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:15,120 Hardware Unboxed. The 9070 XT performed slightly worse than the RTX 570Ti when 71 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:17,280 it launched, but now performs 3% better 72 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:22,800 on average. Meanwhile, people are just trying to find out if the RTX 5050 is 73 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:26,960 even launched or not. In a blog post published yesterday, NVIDIA said it was 74 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:32,960 coming in the second half of July, but GPU partner Ino3D said their 50/50s are 75 00:05:30,479 --> 00:05:37,520 on shelf now. And if you're getting deja vu, it's because this is the third 8 GB 76 00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:40,880 card from NVIDIA this generation without any launch day reviews. I don't know, 77 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:46,479 maybe they're just sparing reviewers from feeling dumb for staying up all night reviewing a card no one's going to 78 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:52,560 buy. Speaking of no one, nothing has fully unveiled what it calls its first 79 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:54,639 true flagship phone, the Phone 3, which 80 00:05:52,560 --> 00:06:01,360 will actually properly launch in the US for 800 bucks on July 15th with four 50 81 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:03,280 megapixel cameras and a fun little glyph 82 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:08,720 display on the back. You know, it's fun because it's like a normal display. Uh, 83 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:11,199 but worse, that's rude. It's fun. like 84 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:17,440 nothing's first overear headphones, the headphone 1, which has buttons 85 00:06:14,479 --> 00:06:23,199 and will also launch on July 15 for 300 bucks. But will you want the nothing 86 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:25,759 some things or the Honor Magic V5, the 87 00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:31,199 thinnest foldable ever with a noticeable crease in the display and also it's only 88 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:34,000 available in China? Hard choice. Theater 89 00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:38,639 chain AMC will now advise you ahead of time that you'll have to sit through 90 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:42,880 about 25 to 30 minutes of ads before your movie starts. I mean, okay, some of 91 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,720 those are trailers. That's not fair. The change comes after AMC announced they'll 92 00:06:45,039 --> 00:06:51,039 be following their competitors in showing more ads before films start, but 93 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:55,039 at least they're letting you know so you don't pay the same as a month of Netflix 94 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:59,520 to trek to the theater to sit through a TV show episode's worth of slot before 95 00:06:57,199 --> 00:07:06,240 you can see your movie. It's nice. and musical artist Lord with an E. Uh, her 96 00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:11,840 new album Virgin was released last week with a number of physical variants 97 00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:14,240 including a fully transparent CD which 98 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:20,400 many fans discovered is not actually playable in many CD players with the 99 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:23,919 main problem being uh because of how CDs 100 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:27,440 work. Uh, see the CD is read by a laser 101 00:07:23,919 --> 00:07:29,199 which is light uh which goes through 102 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:33,759 transparent things. Anyway, this Redditor got it to work in a CD player 103 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:38,080 with a tray. So, I don't know. Look for one of those maybe. Uh Lord posted some 104 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:41,360 fun facts about the album on Twitter, which I'm sure is great, but none of 105 00:07:39,919 --> 00:07:46,000 them say anything about whether the clear CD idea uh was tested beforehand. 106 00:07:44,479 --> 00:07:49,520 Like, this seems like designing a cup with a hole in the bottom and then never 107 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:53,520 pouring something in there before you sell it to be. I mean, may Hey, maybe 108 00:07:51,039 --> 00:07:57,440 it's a prank. It's art. Look, don't prank me. Uh just come back on Friday 109 00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:01,039 for more tech news, okay? Let's keep this straightforward. All right.
