all right so what are we doing here this is a show about tech news yep
0:05
and you wrote the script based on articles that's right
0:10
uh okay so
0:13
why don't people just read the articles themselves Anthony
0:17
come on well it's it's more efficient that way
0:21
it's at the g20 summit this past weekend us
0:24
president donald trump and chinese president xi jinping apparently had a
0:28
heart-to-heart both countries agreed to reopen trade talks with one benefit
0:32
being that the u.s would reportedly lift some restrictions on u.s and chinese
0:35
companies doing business trump specifically mentioned that huawei will
0:39
be able to buy some u.s equipment that does not affect national security stocks
0:43
in the tech sector unsurprisingly rose sharply after the news although as of
0:48
now no actual policy changes have gone into effect and while it remains on the
0:52
u.s entity list of banned companies it's a classic story
0:57
of friends fighting blocking each other on social media and then making up
1:01
wait how does the spying fit in
1:04
there ah i dunno it's not a perfect analogy maybe
1:08
it's like more like a jealous spouse thing oh yeah yeah
1:12
twitch announced the ability for streamers to broadcast exclusive streams
1:16
only for paying subscribers last week it's a cool new feature for super fans
1:20
but it may also be illegal you
1:24
criminals you see the terms of service from multiple
1:28
high-profile game publishers including blizzard valve riot games and cd projekt
1:32
red all state that the player can't charge users to view or access videos
1:37
made using their games these publishers encourage players to stream and earn
1:41
revenue but the content has to be freely available the subscribers only stream
1:45
feature is ostensibly intended for use during special occasions like esports
1:50
broadcasting but twitch is probably going to have to convince publishers to
1:54
alter their tos in order to make that happen looks like even giant video game
1:58
companies don't read the fine print i mean speak
2:01
for yourself riley i read it that's impressive yeah you always had to read the eula
2:06
that's that's how it is you don't know what you're you don't
2:09
know what you're signing away you're a better man than me Anthony
2:13
and the first beta test for the halo master chief collection on pc rolled out
2:16
the select halo insider members on the weekend less than a thousand of them though and
2:22
that gave other halo fans what doctors call major fomo
2:26
even though 343 industries posted nearly 20 minutes of halo reach gameplays over
2:32
according to the company a pirated copy of the beta was illegally distributed
2:36
online understandably 343 doesn't want a beta
2:40
meant to get feedback on potentially janky controls to get out in the open
2:46
so they've threatened to ban the accounts of anyone found to have
2:49
illegitimately downloaded or played the beta i know being patient is hard you
2:53
guys but if you're really itching for that halo fix
2:56
why not try split gate it's basically portal mixed with halo
3:01
and it's free to play and you won't risk being arrested that's what i call a
3:05
hashtag and what hashtag Anthony hot tip
3:09

apple devices have over Android but that might change with Android q the next
3:50
version of Android will reportedly have a feature called fast share which will
3:54
use bluetooth and wi-fi to send files and text to nearby people awesome now
4:00
Android users can also get blasted with memes by teens on the bus i feel
4:04
included you should hey oh sorry did you think that you owned
4:09
your ebooks that you bought from the microsoft store
4:14
no yeah turns out microsoft is shutting down the drm server that provides
4:18
licensing for its ebooks so they're gone just gone microsoft is giving users
4:23
refunds for the books they're snatching away but still i guess we don't own anything
4:28
these days not even our own thoughts
4:31
no that's what i was thinking oh sorry
4:35
spacex launched the first 60 of their internet providing starlink satellites
4:39
over a month ago and they've reportedly deployed successfully
4:42
all except for three of them which will drop out of orbit and burn up in the
4:45
atmosphere along with two others that are being intentionally scuttled space
4:49
internet is cool but these 60 starling satellites are expected to be joined
4:53
eventually by nearly 12 000 others right
4:57
now there are only 2 000 satellites in total orbiting the earth and we already
5:02
have a space debris problem good luck getting to mars through your own
5:06
self-made death trap elon did not think ahead yeah a week after issuing a recall
5:12
for some macbook pro models apple has contacted owners of the 2018 macbook air
5:17
telling them to take their machines into an apple store for a free logic board
5:21
replacement you think events like that will increase
5:24
or decrease now that joni ive has left i think macbooks will just be regular
5:28
laptops yeah i can get behind that they'll look like
5:32
2012 Windows pc you know less designed for design's sake and more design for
5:37
you know being able to yeah actually fix it and electric cars make very little
5:42
noise the only problem is that sometimes you can't hear them coming the eu is fixing
5:47
that by passing new legislation requiring all low emission vehicles to
5:50
have some noisy meeting devices by 2021
5:57
the change should make life simpler and safer for pedestrians but what i'm
6:01
wondering is whether we'll be able to make our own noises like
6:08
yeah i'm interested in that as well yeah well we're in canada though so yeah it
6:13
doesn't really matter
