1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,440
okay no resolutions but i do have a new year's realization what is that do you

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:10,800
want to hear it yeah with the vaccine rolling out i've never been more excited

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,840
to have strangers breathe on me again

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:16,560
okay new year new internet and unfortunately

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,199
for some that means websites devoid of flash yep adobe officially discontinued

6
00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:25,119
support for the venerable web plugin are you sad

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:29,920
which enabled endless animated cartoons games and security problems because

8
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:34,160
unlike homestar runner hackers do have hands what was your favorite flash thing

9
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:37,520
Colton seemed like you were remembering something the games all the games all

10
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:40,559
every game you played every game

11
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:45,680
wow flash is no longer available to download although adobe won't actually start

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:49,200
blocking flash content from running until january 12th but don't worry there

13
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:53,199
are actually a lot of ways to keep the flash fire burning including desktop

14
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:57,520
players like flashpoint and the internet archive which will keep thousands of

15
00:00:54,879 --> 00:01:00,719
games playable online via emulation so you can be reminded of a simpler time

16
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:06,720
when the most entertaining thing you could find on the internet was stick figures murdering each other in frankly

17
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:11,119
awesome ways yeah it was like xiao

18
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:14,479
i think it was called apple in their infinite wisdom has

19
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:19,040
apparently deemed that the world is ready now it's ready for foldable phones

20
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:23,680
reports are emerging that not one but two foldable iphone prototypes have

21
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:27,119
passed internal tests for durability one with two separate displays connected by

22
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:31,520
a hinge that may be able to fold forwards and backwards and another

23
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:36,240
clamshell style phone with a truly foldable screen about the size of the

24
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:39,600
galaxy z flip or motorola razer insiders seem to think that apple will go with

25
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:42,320
just one of these designs which may or may not

26
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:45,920
be called the iphone flip but i don't think that's true they wouldn't just let

27
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:49,360
samsung have the satisfaction of knowing that they copied their name that

28
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:53,119
wouldn't be revolutionary at all well whatever the phone is called we may see

29
00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:57,439
it launched in 2022 there's lots of maze and mites in this story you know Colton

30
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:01,759
you shouldn't be so wishy-washy in 2021 i'll try it just take a stand

31
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:05,600
like apple you know have the courage and one Intel

32
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:11,280
stakeholder has taken a stand and told team blue that it's time to stop that is

33
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:16,000
to stop trying to manufacture their own chips that stakeholder is daniel loeb

34
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:20,640
founder of activist hedge fund third point which recently acquired a nearly

35
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:24,080
one billion dollar stake in Intel in a letter to Intel's chairman loeb argues

36
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:28,400
that Intel has fallen behind its manufacturing competitors such as tsmc

37
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:32,400
and samsung who are already working on five and three nanometer process nodes

38
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:36,879
while Intel's gotten stuck at seven nanometers

39
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,560
i can do seven nanometers Colton does seven nanometers in his every day he

40
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:44,560
wakes up seven seven

41
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:48,640
but the real hurtful stuff is when loeb points out that Intel management gave

42
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:52,640
themselves extravagant compensation packages this past year while the

43
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:56,879
company lost 60 billion dollars in market value dang boy now Intel had

44
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:00,640
already said they're considering outsourcing CPU production but this

45
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:03,680
letter might just tip the scales sometimes you just need a letter from an

46
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:08,480
angry rich person to give you a kick in the pants you know i'm sorry elon musk

58
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:57,040
listings for GeForce rtx 3080 ti models from Gigabyte have been leaked and

59
00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:03,840
lenovo let's slip some specs for the rtx 3050 3050 ti and rtx 3060 non-ti all of

60
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:07,599
which are unannounced NVIDIA is having a gaming focused event on january 12th so

61
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:11,040
they've gotta announce some of these like we all know they're coming and that

62
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:14,480
there won't be any stock so why are we even talking about this

63
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:18,880
apple making its own processors has started a trend in the tech industry and

64
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:23,120
now the european union is jumping on with the signing of a declaration to

65
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:28,080
allocate 145 billion euros towards the design and

66
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:32,720
manufacture of semiconductors built on two nanometer process nodes that's a lot

67
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:35,600
of gyros and frankly i don't know how they're going to eat them all before

68
00:04:33,919 --> 00:04:39,600
they go bad that was the only joke i could think of

69
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:44,720
for that one euros kind of sounds like gyros

70
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:48,320
flash just died but Windows 7 has continued to exist in some kind of

71
00:04:46,479 --> 00:04:52,800
wraith-like state after microsoft officially ended support for the beloved

72
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:57,120
operating system one year ago zdnet found that there may be over 100 million

73
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:00,560
users still using Windows 7 despite microsoft doubling the cost for extended

74
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:04,639
support this month they are neither living or dead

75
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:09,039
they care not for money only

76
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:13,280
Windows media center due to a breakdown in negotiations

77
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,759
huawei pulled games made by tencent from its app store but that's not supposed to

78
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:20,080
happen they're both controlled by the chinese government aren't they what

79
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:24,479
well a day later huawei restored the game so i guess daddy ccp made them kiss

80
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:28,400
and makeup meanwhile since the summer apple has pulled about 90 000 games from

81
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,680
its chinese app store that weren't granted a license by chinese authorities

82
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:35,440
so that's authoritarianism for you and

83
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:39,600
ticketmaster has agreed to pay a 10 million dollar fine for hiring the

84
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:44,000
employees of its competitor crowdsurge and using their logins to infiltrate

85
00:05:41,919 --> 00:05:47,440
crowdsurge's network and steal information with the intention of

86
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,680
choking off the smaller company's business awesome that's awesome

87
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:55,440
that's what i need to start off my new year with i know it's shocking right we don't need
