WEBVTT

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

00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:13.519
background while you pound noobs not for this one okay sit up pay attention

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:15.839
we got tech news to discuss actually they could probably watch this in the

00:00:14.559 --> 00:00:20.000
background pretty easily it's kind of like a background thing it's fine the

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:23.840
department of homeland security in the united states that is has issued an

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:28.000
emergency directive to government agencies to up their web security by

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:32.399
securing their dns records with two-factor authentication the urgent

00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:36.880
bulletin follows a massive hijacking campaign on the domain name system or

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

00:00:38.879 --> 00:00:44.879
service connects you to the right ip addresses this cyber attack saw hackers

00:00:42.559 --> 00:00:48.640
believed to be from iran hijack dns requests for various nefarious various

00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:52.800
nefarious various nefarious various nefarious purposes like making login

00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:57.039
credentials pass through their server before being routed to the real website

00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:00.480
it's unclear how many companies or agencies have been affected by the

00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:04.479
attack and it's harder than normal to actually get answers because of the

00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:08.960
ongoing united states government shutdown winning

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:13.280
yeah i mean it's almost like having a functioning government is actually kind

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

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

00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:25.119
what some netizens are calling flexgate

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:30.000
apparently a lot of macbook pros from 2016 and later are experiencing a staged

00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:34.400
lighting effect where the screen looks like it's being illuminated by a bunch

00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:38.240
of lights from below users are also reporting that the backlight shuts off

00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:42.400
completely after opening the lid to a certain degree as ifixit points out the

00:01:40.479 --> 00:01:47.280
problems are reportedly caused by apple's decision to use a weaker ribbon

00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:50.960
cable instead of the beefier wire cables used in previous designs and the new

00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:55.759
cables aren't up to the stresses of being bent forward and back every time

00:01:53.200 --> 00:02:00.000
the laptop opens and shuts and to make matters worse to fix the problem you

00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:05.439
have to replace the whole display of course of course which costs around 600

00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:10.080
instead of replacing the cables which cost about six coincidence

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

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

00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:24.080
yeah look at my brush sandblasted aluminum and my excellent color accuracy

00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:29.760
and perfect software that always works the way it's supposed to the worst

00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:35.040
we don't need that give me janky Android any day and xiaomi

00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:39.920
has come out of the woodwork to show off a folding phone that actually doesn't

00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:44.879
look stupid while the designs we've seen from royol and samsung involve bending a

00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:49.280
small tablet-sized device in the middle xiaomi's design folds twice

00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:54.560
leaving a central panel about the size of a regular smartphone

00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:56.959
xiaomi senior vice president wang zhang tweeted

00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:03.440
xiaomi senior vice president wang shang

00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:07.280
tweeted a video of the device although it's pretty low resolution so i sure

00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:10.560
hope it didn't come from the phone's camera eh james

00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:16.400

00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:20.080
which is a prototype into an actual product well i'll help you out with that

00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:23.519

make the pc37x even better i didn't even know that was possible but okay it's got

00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:46.959
angled drivers which are typically seen in much more expensive headphones like

00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:49.120
the hd598 and hd600 with an open-back

00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:54.159

huawei had an event this week to launch their newest flagship the vue 20. Linus

00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:13.760
actually went to paris to attend the launch and Linus tech tips already has a

00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:18.479
video up about it it's one of the first phones to actually launch featuring a

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:22.240
punch hole cut out camera type design and it's also got a 48 megapixel camera

00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:26.960
that apparently isn't terrible at the mobile world

00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:30.880
congress coming up on february 24th lg is apparently going to show off some

00:04:28.400 --> 00:04:34.160
sort of touchless gesture technology exactly what i didn't know i didn't want

00:04:32.960 --> 00:04:38.479
exactly but it's coming the company released a

00:04:36.400 --> 00:04:43.120
teaser with a hand waving over a piece of paper as text magically appears i

00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:49.120

or ports yup sounds like my kind of phone

00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:03.120
not really the meizu zero which its name

00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:07.440
checks out doesn't even have a sim card slot or speakers it relies on esim

00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:12.479
technology while the phone's display apparently produces the sound and the

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

00:05:15.039 --> 00:05:22.639
