00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:07,680
hey i know you've been stuck in a youtube vortex watching a million videos in the

2
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:13,519
background while you pound noobs not for this one okay sit up pay attention

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,839
we got tech news to discuss actually they could probably watch this in the

4
00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:20,000
background pretty easily it's kind of like a background thing it's fine the

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:23,840
department of homeland security in the united states that is has issued an

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:28,000
emergency directive to government agencies to up their web security by

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,399
securing their dns records with two-factor authentication the urgent

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:36,880
bulletin follows a massive hijacking campaign on the domain name system or

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:40,239
dns which is kind of like the internet's phone book you plug in a url a dns

10
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:44,879
service connects you to the right ip addresses this cyber attack saw hackers

11
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:48,640
believed to be from iran hijack dns requests for various nefarious various

12
00:00:46,879 --> 00:00:52,800
nefarious various nefarious various nefarious purposes like making login

13
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:57,039
credentials pass through their server before being routed to the real website

14
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,480
it's unclear how many companies or agencies have been affected by the

15
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:04,479
attack and it's harder than normal to actually get answers because of the

16
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:08,960
ongoing united states government shutdown winning

17
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:13,280
yeah i mean it's almost like having a functioning government is actually kind

18
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:17,920
of important we are pretty rude to apple on this show i mean i i i don't mean to

19
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:23,200
be it's just there's always something to make fun of and the latest debacle is

20
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,119
what some netizens are calling flexgate

21
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:30,000
apparently a lot of macbook pros from 2016 and later are experiencing a staged

22
00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:34,400
lighting effect where the screen looks like it's being illuminated by a bunch

23
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:38,240
of lights from below users are also reporting that the backlight shuts off

24
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:42,400
completely after opening the lid to a certain degree as ifixit points out the

25
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:47,280
problems are reportedly caused by apple's decision to use a weaker ribbon

26
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:50,960
cable instead of the beefier wire cables used in previous designs and the new

27
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,759
cables aren't up to the stresses of being bent forward and back every time

28
00:01:53,200 --> 00:02:00,000
the laptop opens and shuts and to make matters worse to fix the problem you

29
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:05,439
have to replace the whole display of course of course which costs around 600

30
00:02:03,759 --> 00:02:10,080
instead of replacing the cables which cost about six coincidence

31
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:15,440
yeah that is kind of weird very like it's a perfect factor of multiplication see now i know

32
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:19,760
why we make fun of apple it's because they think they're so cool it's like ooh

33
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:24,080
yeah look at my brush sandblasted aluminum and my excellent color accuracy

34
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:29,760
and perfect software that always works the way it's supposed to the worst

35
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:35,040
we don't need that give me janky Android any day and xiaomi

36
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:39,920
has come out of the woodwork to show off a folding phone that actually doesn't

37
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:44,879
look stupid while the designs we've seen from royol and samsung involve bending a

38
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:49,280
small tablet-sized device in the middle xiaomi's design folds twice

39
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:54,560
leaving a central panel about the size of a regular smartphone

40
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,959
xiaomi senior vice president wang zhang tweeted

41
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,440
xiaomi senior vice president wang shang

42
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:07,280
tweeted a video of the device although it's pretty low resolution so i sure

43
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,560
hope it didn't come from the phone's camera eh james

44
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:16,400
oh the company says they're still considering whether to turn the device

45
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,080
which is a prototype into an actual product well i'll help you out with that

46

the hd598 and hd600 with an open-back

53
00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:54,159

57
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:10,159
huawei had an event this week to launch their newest flagship the vue 20. Linus

58
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:13,760
actually went to paris to attend the launch and Linus tech tips already has a

59
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:18,479
video up about it it's one of the first phones to actually launch featuring a

60
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:22,240
punch hole cut out camera type design and it's also got a 48 megapixel camera

61
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:26,960
that apparently isn't terrible at the mobile world

62
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:30,880
congress coming up on february 24th lg is apparently going to show off some

63
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:34,160
sort of touchless gesture technology exactly what i didn't know i didn't want

64
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:38,479
exactly but it's coming the company released a

65
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:43,120
teaser with a hand waving over a piece of paper as text magically appears i

68
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,960
or ports yup sounds like my kind of phone

69
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:03,120
not really the meizu zero which its name

70
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:07,440
checks out doesn't even have a sim card slot or speakers it relies on esim

71
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:12,479
technology while the phone's display apparently produces the sound and the

72
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:16,960
device does charge wirelessly at up to 18 watts you don't just buy it and use

73

00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,240
made to the open source chromium browser which is the basis for future versions

77
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:40,960
of chrome so get ready for an internet that's a little more colorful until

78
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:44,720
someone makes an ad blocker blocking unblocker

79
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:48,800
