0:55
10 inch display and a camera for 229. we
0:58
got updates on Android q there's going to be a real dark theme with true blacks
1:02

1:06
controls across all google services but one thing that's super cool that i
1:11

1:40
contextual abilities and faster responses duplex the ai powered
1:44
reservation service is extending its capabilities from booking restaurants to
1:48
all sorts of things like car rentals and movie tickets and pixel users should be
1:53
able to try out augmented reality walking directions in maps though i
1:57
guess that's us only right now because i haven't gotten it yet i have a pixel
2:01
so do you but perhaps some of the most interesting
2:04
news from i o is google's statements about how it's valuing users privacy
2:08
last week they announced the ability to have google auto delete your data from
2:12
the past 3 or 18 months and now they're pledging to limit the ability of
2:15
websites to inject cookies into chrome which helps companies track your
2:19
activity ceo sundar pichai also wrote an
2:23
op-ed in the new york times about how google does take your data but they're
2:27
really careful with it and you get all this great stuff yeah
2:31
and how iphones are too expensive for some reason that was in there too yeah
2:36
the company now has an entire plain language document on their store
2:39
detailing how they manage your data without confusing legal talk which is
2:43
great and i do trust them more than facebook i guess yeah probably yeah but
2:48
it also just seems to raise more questions which we can't get into here because we don't have time maybe the
2:52
next talk linked yeah okay real quick guys real quick
2:57
microsoft also had their developer conference earlier on monday builds 2019 it started

3:12
support for multiple tabs color themes and emojis all things that sirius
3:16
command lined aficionados definitely wanted to be serious though what they
3:21
actually might have wanted is the full Linux kernel on Windows and they've got
3:24
that now so that's cool power toys the open source collection of utilities pro
3:29
users can use to tweak Windows 10 to their liking is coming back and
3:33
microsoft also announced a whole new collaborative developer platform called
3:37
fluid framework but more important than all that alexa on Windows 10 now has
3:42
voice support so you can use your pc like an amazon echo isn't that exciting
3:46
that's the whole reason i bought a Windows 10 pc
3:50

anyways so a few rumors have been circulating that
4:45
AMD has a navi based Radeon rx 3080 xt
4:50
graphics card set to come out this year that would match the performance of the
4:54
rtx 2070 for 330 u.s
4:59
but for a few reasons this rumor does not seem legit why am i telling you
5:02
about it then so that you know what's out there people will try to tell you
5:06
about gpus that don't exist stay in school don't take candy from strangers
5:11
or from weird looking people like james
5:14
i agree good advice baltimore has been besieged by the robin
5:19
hood ransomware which has caused the shutdown of much of the city's services
5:24
the police fire department and ems are operational but many other systems have
5:28
been shut down while authorities investigate the attack follows a similar
5:32
one last year that took down 9-1-1 services what did baltimore do to you
5:37
hackers jeez robin hood would never do that i know
5:42
samsung is emailing people who pre-ordered the galaxy fold to tell them
5:45
their pre-orders will be cancelled unless they choose to keep them active
5:49
the notice is a result of ftc regulations regarding pre-orders after
5:53
postponing the launch of the device samsung has not set a new ship date so
5:57
they can't keep pre-orders for something that may not actually arrive
6:01
that would be as silly as pre-ordering something in the first
6:05
place backing it kickstarter oh yeah
6:08
don't pre-order i mean kickstarter's different
6:12
kinda AMD is partnering with cray to build the
6:16
world's fastest supercomputer capable of 1.5 exa flops of performance
6:23
yeah the frontier as the behemoth will be
6:27
called will of course be powered by AMD epic processors and Radeon instinct
6:31
accelerators and will be delivered to the oak ridge national laboratory in
6:34
2021 but can it run
6:38
alexa and 7 000 bitcoins about 41 million us
6:44
have been stolen from cryptocurrency exchange binance the good news is its users won't
6:49

6:54
safu that they'll use to cover this snafu see what they do there

7:02
