1:37
like us is marketing its own smartphone the hydrogen
1:42
uno hydrogen one however numerous delays have left us all wondering if like an

1:55
but red has finally announced that the hydrogen one will in fact go on sale on

november 2nd so uh this friday red is hoping to set its
2:02
offering apart from the other smartphones on the market with a high quality camera and display its building

tomb raider tony hawk gran turismo and spyro the dragon aka
3:26
the good games yeah i didn't like spyro but whatever
3:30
while the playstation classic does still feature a fairly solid game lineup the
3:34
omission of some of these beloved titles may cause some folks to shy away from
3:39
the 100 price tag when they can just
3:42
get an emulator for free whatever it's 100 bucks it comes on
3:45

4:42

4:45
something from the recent controversies around loot boxes as the company has
4:48
announced that the only real money transactions in fallout 76 will be for
4:52
cosmetic items and everything else will be completely free with in-game currency

being generously awarded to players just for
5:00
playing the game what this sounds insane
5:04
what am i going to spend my real money on food and shelter 5 candies love
5:10
uh you need food shelter in love yeah you need it
5:14
you're supposed to earn xp and earn love i think you're not supposed to buy those things okay google is jumping on the
5:19
subscription service bandwagon with playpass which would charge a monthly
5:22
fee for access to Android apps that would otherwise cost in the hundreds of
5:26
dollars no word yet on if and when the service will actually launch or whether
5:29
it would be a success because i'm still going to download the free apps
5:36
hundreds of dollars for one app spend a bunch of money or spend less money spend
5:40
no money how about none it's no secret that consoles these days have become
5:44
more pc-like in their feature sets than ever before and xbox is taking this a
5:48
step further as mouse support is finally available those enrolled in its alpha

6:10
about two heads per character that's what we need now and ibm has agreed to
6:14
buy open source software giant red hat for 34 billion dollars it's crazy that
6:20
company with open source software can be worth that much the move will give ibm a
6:24
huge presence in the cloud space but red hat will reportedly continue to operate
6:28
independently of ibm a similar story to the one microsoft gave about their
6:31
acquisition of github i guess we just have to trust
6:35
these large corporations to act in our best
6:39
interest we can do that
6:44

6:47
i mean it's not like they're doing well they have to make good products these
6:50
