WEBVTT

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

00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:10.800
want to hear it yeah with the vaccine rolling out i've never been more excited

00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:11.840
to have strangers breathe on me again

00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:16.560
okay new year new internet and unfortunately

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:21.199
for some that means websites devoid of flash yep adobe officially discontinued

00:00:19.279 --> 00:00:25.119
support for the venerable web plugin are you sad

00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:29.920
which enabled endless animated cartoons games and security problems because

00:00:27.279 --> 00:00:34.160
unlike homestar runner hackers do have hands what was your favorite flash thing

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:37.520
Colton seemed like you were remembering something the games all the games all

00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:40.559
every game you played every game

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:45.680
wow flash is no longer available to download although adobe won't actually start

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:49.200
blocking flash content from running until january 12th but don't worry there

00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:53.199
are actually a lot of ways to keep the flash fire burning including desktop

00:00:51.440 --> 00:00:57.520
players like flashpoint and the internet archive which will keep thousands of

00:00:54.879 --> 00:01:00.719
games playable online via emulation so you can be reminded of a simpler time

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

00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:11.119
awesome ways yeah it was like xiao

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:14.479
i think it was called apple in their infinite wisdom has

00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:19.040
apparently deemed that the world is ready now it's ready for foldable phones

00:01:17.119 --> 00:01:23.680
reports are emerging that not one but two foldable iphone prototypes have

00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:27.119
passed internal tests for durability one with two separate displays connected by

00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:31.520
a hinge that may be able to fold forwards and backwards and another

00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:36.240
clamshell style phone with a truly foldable screen about the size of the

00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:39.600
galaxy z flip or motorola razer insiders seem to think that apple will go with

00:01:37.360 --> 00:01:42.320
just one of these designs which may or may not

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

00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:49.360
samsung have the satisfaction of knowing that they copied their name that

00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:53.119
wouldn't be revolutionary at all well whatever the phone is called we may see

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

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

00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:05.600
like apple you know have the courage and one Intel

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

00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:16.000
to stop trying to manufacture their own chips that stakeholder is daniel loeb

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:20.640
founder of activist hedge fund third point which recently acquired a nearly

00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:24.080
one billion dollar stake in Intel in a letter to Intel's chairman loeb argues

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:28.400
that Intel has fallen behind its manufacturing competitors such as tsmc

00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:32.400
and samsung who are already working on five and three nanometer process nodes

00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:36.879
while Intel's gotten stuck at seven nanometers

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:40.560
i can do seven nanometers Colton does seven nanometers in his every day he

00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:44.560
wakes up seven seven

00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:48.640
but the real hurtful stuff is when loeb points out that Intel management gave

00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:52.640
themselves extravagant compensation packages this past year while the

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:56.879
company lost 60 billion dollars in market value dang boy now Intel had

00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:00.640
already said they're considering outsourcing CPU production but this

00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:03.680
letter might just tip the scales sometimes you just need a letter from an

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

quick bits incoming graphics cards watch out

00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:57.040
listings for GeForce rtx 3080 ti models from Gigabyte have been leaked and

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

00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:07.599
which are unannounced NVIDIA is having a gaming focused event on january 12th so

00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:11.040
they've gotta announce some of these like we all know they're coming and that

00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:14.480
there won't be any stock so why are we even talking about this

00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:18.880
apple making its own processors has started a trend in the tech industry and

00:04:16.320 --> 00:04:23.120
now the european union is jumping on with the signing of a declaration to

00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:28.080
allocate 145 billion euros towards the design and

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:32.720
manufacture of semiconductors built on two nanometer process nodes that's a lot

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

00:04:33.919 --> 00:04:39.600
they go bad that was the only joke i could think of

00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:44.720
for that one euros kind of sounds like gyros

00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:48.320
flash just died but Windows 7 has continued to exist in some kind of

00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:52.800
wraith-like state after microsoft officially ended support for the beloved

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:57.120
operating system one year ago zdnet found that there may be over 100 million

00:04:54.960 --> 00:05:00.560
users still using Windows 7 despite microsoft doubling the cost for extended

00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:04.639
support this month they are neither living or dead

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:09.039
they care not for money only

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:13.280
Windows media center due to a breakdown in negotiations

00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:15.759
huawei pulled games made by tencent from its app store but that's not supposed to

00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:20.080
happen they're both controlled by the chinese government aren't they what

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:24.479
well a day later huawei restored the game so i guess daddy ccp made them kiss

00:05:22.400 --> 00:05:28.400
and makeup meanwhile since the summer apple has pulled about 90 000 games from

00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:31.680
its chinese app store that weren't granted a license by chinese authorities

00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:35.440
so that's authoritarianism for you and

00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:39.600
ticketmaster has agreed to pay a 10 million dollar fine for hiring the

00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:44.000
employees of its competitor crowdsurge and using their logins to infiltrate

00:05:41.919 --> 00:05:47.440
crowdsurge's network and steal information with the intention of

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:51.680
choking off the smaller company's business awesome that's awesome

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
