WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.640 Sorry, no stupid intro. Not that kind of day. Nintendo has been issued a 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:10.800 challenge by Brazil's official consumer protection agency over the company's 00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:14.880 recently changed user agreement, which now gives Nintendo the right to remotely 00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:19.680 brick your console if you muck around with it in a way Nintendo doesn't like. 00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:24.480 The Brazilian watchdog wants Nintendo to remove the relevant clause from their 00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:27.359 agreement, citing legal reasons like not 00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:31.359 violating consumers rights to access services they've paid for. But I just 00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:36.399 hope they know who they're dealing with here. As far as I know, every Nintendo 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:40.719 employee has been to law school. But this whole Nintendo bricking consoles 00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:46.480 thing took on a new dimension this week when a Redditor going by Bim Tongue said 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:51.440 they bought an open box Switch 2 from Walmart only to discover it was 00:00:48.559 --> 00:00:55.840 apparently pre-owned by a hooligan who got the console struck by Nintendo's 00:00:53.520 --> 00:01:00.079 online services ban. probably because they were trying to use it to hack an 00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:04.400 orphanage or something disturbing. Suddenly, it's hitting a lot of people 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:08.799 presumably, or maybe just me, that the secondhand Switch market is about to 00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:13.920 become a bit of a minefield. I mean, sure, people and retailers can learn to 00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:19.280 verify that the console isn't banned before buying or selling, but now that's 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:24.159 a thing we have to do because Nintendo decided that there wasn't enough e-waste 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:28.479 in the world. Meanwhile, over in Japan, there are numerous reports of Switch 2 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:33.200 consoles overheating, usually while playing Cyberpunk in docked mode, even 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:36.799 with the dock fans going full blast. Although, there have also been English 00:01:34.720 --> 00:01:41.040 language Reddit posts about the Switch 2 getting hot while running. So, Nintendo 00:01:39.119 --> 00:01:45.119 fans might just be learning about how consoles get hot sometimes once they can 00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:50.640 render big boy games. Microsoft has announced another round of layoffs with 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:52.720 around 9,000 employees or about 4% of 00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:57.680 the company's entire workforce getting chopped. A couple hundred of those cut 00:01:54.880 --> 00:02:03.360 jobs are coming from Xbox despite gaming chief Phil Spencer saying the Xbox 00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:06.000 platform hardware and game road map have 00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:11.520 never looked stronger. Xbox is the meatiest it's ever been. So, it's a 00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:13.440 perfect time to slice a nice big sirloin 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 00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:23.920 projects are being cancelled, including the Perfect Dark reboot developed by The 00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:29.599 Initiative, which is also being closed down, the studio, and Ever Wild, the 00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:34.560 game announced in 2019 from Rare that looked like it was just about chilling 00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:36.080 and doing magic with mystical beasts. 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. 00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:46.480 Lesson learned. Open AAI is still trying to fight a court order in the New York 00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:51.599 Times lawsuit, forcing them to retain and provide the chat GPT logs of all 00:02:49.519 --> 00:02:55.920 users. Something the company says they don't want to do because they care so so 00:02:54.160 --> 00:03:00.319 much about user privacy. You guys don't even know how much we care about user 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:04.720 privacy. It's it's a big deal. To be clear, privacy obviously is an issue 00:03:02.640 --> 00:03:09.120 with the order. But though OpenAI doesn't say it, the logs could also 00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:14.159 reveal more evidence of copyright infringement or hallucinated nonsense 00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:18.959 improperly attributed to a source that didn't even say that. But also, the logs 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:22.800 could provide ammunition to potential plaintiffs looking to take the advice of 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:28.720 the judge who recently ruled that metaanthropic training their AI on 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:31.040 copyrighted materials was fair use, but 00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:36.159 only because the plaintiffs in that case made the wrong arguments. They should 00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:38.080 have worked at Nintendo first and gone 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:42.879 to law school. That was dumb. The judge said other authors or news organizations 00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:48.319 could make a stronger case against Meta or OpenAI by focusing on how the use of 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:53.040 Llama or Chat GBT has affected the market for books or news content. Or if 00:03:51.440 --> 00:03:57.439 you don't want to go the legal route, you could use Cloudflare's new payper 00:03:55.440 --> 00:04:02.319 crawl feature, which will let content creators charge AI companies to set 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:07.760 their web crawlers loose on the creators content. After all, as NT columnist 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:12.080 Kevin Ruse said in response to Sam Alman lamenting the violation of user privacy, 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:15.920 "It must be really hard when someone does something with your data you don't 00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:20.160 want them to." Which is almost too perfect of a segue to our sponsor, 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:23.840 Delete Me, the professional personal data preservers.

And managing it all is easy 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:50.720 peasy, giving you peace of mind. Boop the video description and check out 00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:56.479 delete me today. Okay, I had a whole introduction for the Quickbits typed 00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:59.040 out, but my dog just ate it. I swear AMD 00:04:56.479 --> 00:05:04.080 has dropped new GPU drivers that boost the RX970 XT's gaming performance by up 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:08.800 to 27% according to extensive testing by 00:05:06.080 --> 00:05:15.120 Hardware Unboxed. The 9070 XT performed slightly worse than the RTX 570Ti when 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:17.280 it launched, but now performs 3% better 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:22.800 on average. Meanwhile, people are just trying to find out if the RTX 5050 is 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:26.960 even launched or not. In a blog post published yesterday, NVIDIA said it was 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:32.960 coming in the second half of July, but GPU partner Ino3D said their 50/50s are 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 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:40.880 card from NVIDIA this generation without any launch day reviews. I don't know, 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 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:52.560 buy. Speaking of no one, nothing has fully unveiled what it calls its first 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:54.639 true flagship phone, the Phone 3, which 00:05:52.560 --> 00:06:01.360 will actually properly launch in the US for 800 bucks on July 15th with four 50 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:03.280 megapixel cameras and a fun little glyph 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, 00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:11.199 but worse, that's rude. It's fun. like 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:17.440 nothing's first overear headphones, the headphone 1, which has buttons 00:06:14.479 --> 00:06:23.199 and will also launch on July 15 for 300 bucks. But will you want the nothing 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:25.759 some things or the Honor Magic V5, the 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:31.199 thinnest foldable ever with a noticeable crease in the display and also it's only 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:34.000 available in China? Hard choice. Theater 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:38.639 chain AMC will now advise you ahead of time that you'll have to sit through 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:42.880 about 25 to 30 minutes of ads before your movie starts. I mean, okay, some of 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:46.720 those are trailers. That's not fair. The change comes after AMC announced they'll 00:06:45.039 --> 00:06:51.039 be following their competitors in showing more ads before films start, but 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 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 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 00:07:03.840 --> 00:07:11.840 new album Virgin was released last week with a number of physical variants 00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:14.240 including a fully transparent CD which 00:07:11.840 --> 00:07:20.400 many fans discovered is not actually playable in many CD players with the 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:23.919 main problem being uh because of how CDs 00:07:20.400 --> 00:07:27.440 work. Uh, see the CD is read by a laser 00:07:23.919 --> 00:07:29.199 which is light uh which goes through 00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:33.759 transparent things. Anyway, this Redditor got it to work in a CD player 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 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:41.360 fun facts about the album on Twitter, which I'm sure is great, but none of 00:07:39.919 --> 00:07:46.000 them say anything about whether the clear CD idea uh was tested beforehand. 00:07:44.479 --> 00:07:49.520 Like, this seems like designing a cup with a hole in the bottom and then never 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:53.520 pouring something in there before you sell it to be. I mean, may Hey, maybe 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 00:07:55.840 --> 00:08:01.039 for more tech news, okay? Let's keep this straightforward. All right.
