1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,600
can you hear that the very wind is whispering its secrets to me and for

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:10,800
some reason the wind always whispers about tech news nothing else lg is

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:15,679
working on a wacky new phone design with not folding but swiveling screens a

4
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:20,640
report from korea news outlet et news describes a concept device called the lg

5
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:26,080
wing which features a 6.8 inch display that rotates sideways to reveal a second

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,039
4-inch display underneath and then under that screen is a

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:33,760
no i'm just kidding there's just two screens this design ostensibly allows

8
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:37,920
the user to use an on-screen keyboard while still enjoying whatever landscape

9
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:41,360
content is playing on the main display there's also a graphic that indicates

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:46,960
the second screen could be useful to display bar graphs the report says the wing is

11
00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:50,719
expected to launch in the second half of this year so we'll have to see whether

12
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:54,559
this thing actually comes out and confirms once and for all that phones

13
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:57,760
have officially jumped the shark you might say lg is just winging it at this

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:03,280
point i added that one on my own riley takes no responsibility for it this morning

15
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:07,920
epic games announced unreal engine 5 in the form of a jaw-dropping live demo

16
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:12,159
running on the playstation 5 as part of the new five club initiative that last

17
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,240
part isn't real i'm sorry unreal engine demos are always visually impressive but

18
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:20,960
this one actually brings along some new tech that could have a big impact on

19
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:27,040
game development ue5 allows developers to import a super high detail model like

20
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,280
a statue made of 33 million triangles

21
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:34,479
without having to manually render its details into flat textures a process

22
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:38,640
known as baking and game devs i know it's more complicated than that i'm

23
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,000
sorry more importantly doing this won't incur a huge performance hit i mean do

24
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,320
you know how many triangles we're talking here like like so many triangles

25
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:50,720
epic also announced that developers can use unreal engine for free until their

26
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:55,119
game makes one million dollars in revenue and that that policy is being

27
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:59,759
extended retroactively for any games that launched after january 1st 2020.

28
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:04,399
wow i mean i would have taken the sick looking tech demo running on playstation

29
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:07,040
5 all by itself but the like free unreal engine and triangle stuff that's just

30
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:13,200
the cherry on top and zoom might be addressing its security problems but the

31
00:02:10,959 --> 00:02:18,400
company's efforts will not help you if you click a fake zoom link yep hackers

32
00:02:16,239 --> 00:02:23,040
are spreading fake links to zoom google meet and microsoft teams meetings in

33
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:27,040
elaborate new phishing scams according to a report from checkpoint research the

34
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:31,280
bad guys are registering domains that pose as the official services sending

35
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:35,519
out invite emails to victims who then click the link and accidentally download

36
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:40,080
malware oof i guess it's time for all of us to switch to vr meetings it's not

37
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:43,840
even really a joke spatial the vr conferencing app has just made its

38
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:48,239
collaboration platform free to use on the oculus quest iphone Android and

39
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,840
through a web browser and this is happening just as everyone's tired of

40
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:55,599
being zoom bombed although it's only a matter of time before spacial gets a

41
00:02:53,519 --> 00:03:00,000
hundred tiny knuckles avatars popping up saying they no do weigh

42
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,959
now it's time for the backslaps brought to you by brilliant whether you're a

student looking to get ahead a professional brushing up on cutting-edge topics or just another category of

44
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:11,599
potentially really smart person you should check out brilliant

thought-provoking math science and computer science content they help guide

46
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:19,760
you to mastery by breaking complex concepts into bite-sized chunks check

47
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:24,560
out their mathematical fundamentals course which introduces the foundational

48
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:27,760
ideas of number theory logic and algebra through creative challenges we need more

51
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:41,680
below to check it out AMD has announced a confusing new game store called robot

52
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:45,760
cash which lets you buy and then resell games for 25 of the original price when

53
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:50,799
you are done with them and then when you're not gaming you can use your pc to

54
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:55,680
mine a platform exclusive credit called iron which you can then use to buy more

55
00:03:53,360 --> 00:04:00,640
games okay first of all who benefits from reselling digital games and second

56
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:05,120
is this a cryptocurrency thing first the backwards compatibility snafu and now

57
00:04:02,799 --> 00:04:09,280
this what's going on over there team red queebie the short form mobile focused

58
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:14,000
video streaming service is reportedly not doing too well and company executive

59
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:18,560
jeffrey katzenberg blames everything that has gone wrong on the coronavirus i

60
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:23,600
mean it is true a service meant to be watched on the go launched just as

61
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:28,880
people were told not to go anywhere ever and i feel a little bad

62
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:32,880
but we really need another video service guys the fbi has officially accused

63
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:37,520
china's government of sponsoring hacking attacks meant to steal covet 19 vaccine

64
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:41,040
research presumably whichever country comes up with a vaccine first would have

65
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:44,720
bragging rights about being a more advanced country and saving the day

66
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:49,440
which is obviously the whole point of making a vaccine so hey good job china i

67
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:55,280
guess in other news the chinese government is also dropping rocket parts

68
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:57,680
in africa reports from the african

69
00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:01,840
country cote d'ivoire described chunks of metal falling from the sky right

70
00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:06,720
along the trajectory where the core of china's long march 5b rocket was falling

71
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:10,240
back to earth after it inadvertently entered an unstable orbit china is going

72
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:14,080
to be launching a lot of rockets as they build their space station so um

73
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:18,720
hopefully this doesn't become a regular occurrence and NVIDIA ceo jensen huang

74
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:22,880
shared a little video of himself removing what he called the world's

75
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:26,960
largest graphics card from his oven at home the unit is probably a server-based

76
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:31,199
product that we will hear more about tomorrow at the gtc keynote but

77
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:35,919
honestly that's not what's got me curious what i want to know is hey

78
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:40,160
jensen where's your leather jacket i thought it was actually fused to your

79
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:43,840
spine all right that's it for this one guys come back on friday for more tech

80
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:51,000
news hopefully by then the wind will have something new to whisper

81
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,000
it's always whispering that wind
