so Linus is live streaming right now he decided to live stream right when i was
0:04
gonna film TechLinked unbelievable so i have to talk a little quieter okay it's
0:08
just like we're having a private conversation okay now it could be argued that tesla
0:13
kick-started the auto industry's move towards electric vehicles but their cars
0:17
have always been a bit on the high side in terms of price well that's still the
0:22
case but they're moving more towards affordable prices yesterday tesla
0:26
announced its standard range model 3 would be available for 35 000 bucks
0:30
before any federal or local tax incentives the company's model s and x
0:35
vehicles can now also be had for about fifteen thousand dollars cheaper
0:38
depending on the version the price cuts apparently necessitate tesla closing
0:43
most of its physical stores and switching to online only sales all this
0:47
comes at the heels of the announcement of volvo's polestar 2 an all-electric
0:51
vehicle seen as a competitor to the model 3 and the first car to feature
0:55
built-in Android auto and google assistant you don't even need to connect
0:59
your phone it also starts with a chair mounted pressure switch so that's cool
1:03
wow electric cars are now much more affordable for slightly less rich people
1:08
than before now i've avoided addressing this on techlink because it's kind of a
1:12
sensitive issue but it's been so in my face that i kind of have to youtube has
1:17
disabled comments on all videos featuring children the move comes in
1:22
response to the discovery that pedophiles were leaving comments on
1:25
videos of miners that weren't just creepy and disgusting but were also
1:29
being used to link to actual illegal content youtube believes the problem is
1:33
so widespread that disabling comments is necessary to keep children safe some
1:38
creators will be able to keep comments enabled but will have to actively
1:42
moderate their comments channels with lots of videos featuring children like
1:45
family vloggers are understandably upset given that this destroys their ability
1:49
to interact with their fans on the platform but ceo susan wojiki said that
1:54
it's a necessary trade-off to keep kids safe it's unclear whether this policy is
1:58
here to stay or whether it's a temporary measure but it is a nice reminder of how
2:03
horrible humanity can be sometimes don't forget
2:06
we're monsters not many ways you can make a joke about that and normally we
2:11
wouldn't be reporting on driver updates as a major news story but this is one
2:15
you might actually want to pay attention to NVIDIA has identified eight security
2:18
vulnerabilities in their graphics drivers and are urging users to update
2:22
as soon as possible users who don't update may be at risk of remote code
2:26
execution denial of service leaks of personal info and spontaneously
2:30
combusting pcs nope
2:33
not that last one a lot of enthusiasts often stay on an older driver to make
2:37
sure their system remains stable but is that worth having to watch your monitor
2:41
as a hacker leaks your nudes right in front of your eyes and then dying in a
2:45
fiery explosion i don't think so so update your drivers
2:49
unless you have an AMD graphics card then i just wasted 30 seconds of your
2:52
time i'm sorry it's time for quick bits brought to you by mac weldon finding
2:57

3:08

3:33
LMG dot gg slash tl mac weldon or by
3:37
clicking the link in the description it's on to the quick bits usb ports and
3:42
devices have been vulnerable to malicious actors for some time but now
3:46
Thunderbolt is joining the club a vulnerability called thunderclap was
3:50
expounded upon at the ndss 2019 security
3:53
conference and it could apparently allow malicious Thunderbolt devices to steal
3:57
data directly from a computer's memory yeah not so high and mighty now are you
4:02
Thunderbolt now you know what it's like to be a usb
4:05
screw you man aussie tech channel hardware unboxed took a detailed look at
4:10
NVIDIA's deep learning super sampling or dlss and found that it's
4:14
not that different from existing super
4:18
sampling technologies as long as you give them some tweaks dlss is along with
4:22
rtx one of the main selling points of NVIDIA's new rtx line of gpus but
4:26
hardware unboxed is saying it's not really a selling point at all in fact
4:30
they might be saying that NVIDIA's not even a real company wow
4:35
that's a heavy allegation hardware unboxed but i'm with you the open beta
4:39
for ubisoft's looter shooter the division 2 kicks off today even though
4:42
anthem just came out a week ago and it was supposed to be so good and it turns
4:45
out that it's not and that's really dumb so i guess you can play the division 2
4:49
now just go just go
4:52
the celebrity universal forensic extraction device or ufed is a tool used
4:57
by u.s law enforcement to hack into suspects iphones so as you can imagine
5:02
it's pretty dangerous so it's not the best news that it's showing up on ebay
5:06
for a hundred bucks a pop now these are reportedly old models since celebrite
5:10
launched a new version so while they can only hack into older models of phones it
5:14
still begs the question of how these devices got onto the market in the first
5:17
place
5:21
did you do this yes and this isn't really tech news but
5:25
it is kind of cool researchers at the university of science and technology in
5:30
china have managed to give mice the ability to see near-infrared light that
5:35
essentially gives them heat vision the only catch is they did it by injecting
5:40
specialized nanoparticles directly into the animal's eyes
5:44
look i want to have laser eyes as much as the next guy but needles
5:49
it's not laser eyes it's heat vision all right i'm tired of talking in this quiet
5:54
voice i want to be myself lioness stop live streaming for the for good
6:00
