samsung is set to unveil a bunch of devices at its unpacked event on
0:31
february 20th including the galaxy s10
0:35

0:38
but we may have already gotten a peek at that last one thanks to a leaked promo a
0:43
video was posted by samsung vietnam showing someone opening up a folding
0:48
phone it was swiftly taken down of course but it was promptly re-uploaded
0:54
by some brave citizens of the internet
0:57
we salute you now the video also shows a
1:00
number of futuristic technologies like smart displays with gesture controls
1:05
remote controlled tattoo robots oh a
1:08
lordy and an ultrasound phone accessory
1:11
wait what an ultrasound phone accessory you plug it into your usb type-c and you
1:15
just yeah it's futuristic so it's possible the phone in the promo
1:20
isn't the same device we'll see it unpacked but
1:23
let's hope samsung has the design more or less ready to go for the event
1:26
because huawei will reportedly be showing off a folding phone of their own
1:31
four days later in barcelona that's
1:34
barcelona nobody says it like that
1:38
earlier this week apple blocked facebook's internal enterprise apps on
1:42
iOS because facebook was breaching apple's terms of service for the
1:47
developer enterprise program by distributing its research app outside of
1:52
the company then apple not that this is a grudge thing or
1:56
anything also blocked google for the same reason except this time the culprit
2:01
was google's screenwise meter which like
2:04
the facebook research app monitored users browsing history and network
2:08
traffic as a result of the ban google's internal company apps including a bus
2:14
hailing app and beta versions of maps hangouts and gmail simply stopped
2:19
working after google and facebook admitted to breaching the terms of service apple
2:23
restored access to these apps for both companies on iOS
2:27
google and facebook might be trying their hardest to track and collect data
2:31
on their users but apple ain't having none of that no no what happens on an
2:35
iphone stays on an iphone occur
2:38
occur is that how you're supposed to say occur
2:42
and speaking of collecting data yours has probably been collected already
2:46
earlier this month a vast trove of 700
2:51
million email addresses and passwords called collection one was leaked but
2:56
apparently that was just the tip of the iceberg security researchers have now
3:00
obtained and analyzed what they call collections two
3:04
to five bringing the total number of compromise credentials up to 2.2 billion
3:10
they really did take the michael bay approach to the sequel didn't they
3:14
though this database amounts to 845 gigabytes of data and maybe the
3:20
largest collection or collections as it
3:23
were of breaches ever recorded the data
3:26
reportedly mostly originated from previous breaches of yahoo linkedin
3:31
dropbox and other sites at the time of writing the new breaches have not been
3:36
added to the have i been pwned database but you can check if your email was
3:40

has been serving as the interim ceo for that time but now they've made it
5:06
official congrats bob swann i hope your reign is as bright and well aligned as
5:11
your teeth look at that smile yeah that's a bob spawn if i ever saw it
5:17
bob swann also made an appearance along with former Radeon graphics had raja
5:21
kaduri in a new hiring video posted by Intel's graphics division the two
5:26
leaders talk about Intel's vision for discrete graphics but unfortunately the
5:32
video doesn't provide any other concrete information about Intel's discrete
5:37
graphics cards raja does say though that they're starting from zero which he
5:42
interprets as being a great opportunity rather than a competitive disadvantage
5:47
i mean i've met roger he's he's a glass half full kind of guy
5:51
that's good after speaking with sources familiar with apple's plans you know the
5:55
type bloomberg reports that the company is currently developing iphones with
6:00
three rear-facing cameras and usb type-c
6:04
ports instead of lightning ports i mean apple did already add usb type-c to the
6:09
2018 ipad pro but like iphones
6:12
that seems like it's just a step too far like they follow their hearts you know
6:17
these are creative types they they use macbooks
6:22
which come to think of it also use usb type c now
6:26
respectable japanese news outlet nikkei.com is reporting that nintendo
6:30
plans to release a paired down version of the switch console sometime in 2019
6:36
analysts expect the new version to be smaller than the vanilla switch and to
6:41
launch without a console dock or wait
6:44
hear me out on this i have an idea it's actually riley's idea but i'm going to
6:47
be the one saying it today they could just make the original switch
6:51
cheaper oh no way with the dock which is mostly
6:55
plastic hey you're welcome for the idea nintendo
6:59
we've got lots more where that came from speaking of more where that came from
7:03
you won't have more access to your movies that you bought on the internet
7:08
where that they used to come from ultraviolet a service that allowed
7:12
owners of physical media copies to secure and access their library on
7:17
multiple digital services is planning to shut down on july 31st
7:22
the idea is that users shouldn't really lose anything provided that they link
7:27
their library with one of ultraviolet supported retailers before that date but
7:31
like really this is exactly the problem with like
7:37
buying movies like i honestly i throw away those stupid ultraviolet things
7:41
that come with my blu-rays i rip them to my server and then i use plex because
7:46
then i still have it you're a pirate anywhere that's not piracy
7:52
that is bull stuff and you know it
7:56
