00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.600
can you hear that the very wind is whispering its secrets to me and for

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:10.800
some reason the wind always whispers about tech news nothing else lg is

00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:15.679
working on a wacky new phone design with not folding but swiveling screens a

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:20.640
report from korea news outlet et news describes a concept device called the lg

00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:26.080
wing which features a 6.8 inch display that rotates sideways to reveal a second

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:29.039
4-inch display underneath and then under that screen is a

00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:33.760
no i'm just kidding there's just two screens this design ostensibly allows

00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:37.920
the user to use an on-screen keyboard while still enjoying whatever landscape

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:41.360
content is playing on the main display there's also a graphic that indicates

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:46.960
the second screen could be useful to display bar graphs the report says the wing is

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

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:54.559
this thing actually comes out and confirms once and for all that phones

00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:57.760
have officially jumped the shark you might say lg is just winging it at this

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:03.280
point i added that one on my own riley takes no responsibility for it this morning

00:01:01.199 --> 00:01:07.920
epic games announced unreal engine 5 in the form of a jaw-dropping live demo

00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:12.159
running on the playstation 5 as part of the new five club initiative that last

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:16.240
part isn't real i'm sorry unreal engine demos are always visually impressive but

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:20.960
this one actually brings along some new tech that could have a big impact on

00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:27.040
game development ue5 allows developers to import a super high detail model like

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:29.280
a statue made of 33 million triangles

00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:34.479
without having to manually render its details into flat textures a process

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:38.640
known as baking and game devs i know it's more complicated than that i'm

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:42.000
sorry more importantly doing this won't incur a huge performance hit i mean do

00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:46.320
you know how many triangles we're talking here like like so many triangles

00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:50.720
epic also announced that developers can use unreal engine for free until their

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:55.119
game makes one million dollars in revenue and that that policy is being

00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:59.759
extended retroactively for any games that launched after january 1st 2020.

00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:04.399
wow i mean i would have taken the sick looking tech demo running on playstation

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.040
5 all by itself but the like free unreal engine and triangle stuff that's just

00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:13.200
the cherry on top and zoom might be addressing its security problems but the

00:02:10.959 --> 00:02:18.400
company's efforts will not help you if you click a fake zoom link yep hackers

00:02:16.239 --> 00:02:23.040
are spreading fake links to zoom google meet and microsoft teams meetings in

00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:27.040
elaborate new phishing scams according to a report from checkpoint research the

00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:31.280
bad guys are registering domains that pose as the official services sending

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:35.519
out invite emails to victims who then click the link and accidentally download

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

00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:43.840
even really a joke spatial the vr conferencing app has just made its

00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:48.239
collaboration platform free to use on the oculus quest iphone Android and

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.840
through a web browser and this is happening just as everyone's tired of

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:55.599
being zoom bombed although it's only a matter of time before spacial gets a

00:02:53.519 --> 00:03:00.000
hundred tiny knuckles avatars popping up saying they no do weigh

00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:02.959
now it's time for the backslaps brought to you by brilliant whether you're a

00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:08.800
student looking to get ahead a professional brushing up on cutting-edge topics or just another category of

00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:11.599
potentially really smart person you should check out brilliant

00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:15.519

00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:19.760
you to mastery by breaking complex concepts into bite-sized chunks check

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:24.560
out their mathematical fundamentals course which introduces the foundational

00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:27.760
ideas of number theory logic and algebra through creative challenges we need more

00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:31.920

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:41.680
below to check it out AMD has announced a confusing new game store called robot

00:03:38.720 --> 00:03:45.760
cash which lets you buy and then resell games for 25 of the original price when

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

00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:55.680
mine a platform exclusive credit called iron which you can then use to buy more

00:03:53.360 --> 00:04:00.640
games okay first of all who benefits from reselling digital games and second

00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:05.120
is this a cryptocurrency thing first the backwards compatibility snafu and now

00:04:02.799 --> 00:04:09.280
this what's going on over there team red queebie the short form mobile focused

00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:14.000
video streaming service is reportedly not doing too well and company executive

00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:18.560
jeffrey katzenberg blames everything that has gone wrong on the coronavirus i

00:04:16.320 --> 00:04:23.600
mean it is true a service meant to be watched on the go launched just as

00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:28.880
people were told not to go anywhere ever and i feel a little bad

00:04:26.080 --> 00:04:32.880
but we really need another video service guys the fbi has officially accused

00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:37.520
china's government of sponsoring hacking attacks meant to steal covet 19 vaccine

00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:41.040
research presumably whichever country comes up with a vaccine first would have

00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:44.720
bragging rights about being a more advanced country and saving the day

00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:49.440
which is obviously the whole point of making a vaccine so hey good job china i

00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:55.280
guess in other news the chinese government is also dropping rocket parts

00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:57.680
in africa reports from the african

00:04:55.280 --> 00:05:01.840
country cote d'ivoire described chunks of metal falling from the sky right

00:04:59.919 --> 00:05:06.720
along the trajectory where the core of china's long march 5b rocket was falling

00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:10.240
back to earth after it inadvertently entered an unstable orbit china is going

00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:14.080
to be launching a lot of rockets as they build their space station so um

00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:18.720
hopefully this doesn't become a regular occurrence and NVIDIA ceo jensen huang

00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:22.880
shared a little video of himself removing what he called the world's

00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:26.960
largest graphics card from his oven at home the unit is probably a server-based

00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:31.199
product that we will hear more about tomorrow at the gtc keynote but

00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:35.919
honestly that's not what's got me curious what i want to know is hey

00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:40.160
jensen where's your leather jacket i thought it was actually fused to your

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

00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:51.000
news hopefully by then the wind will have something new to whisper

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:51.000
it's always whispering that wind
