oh I'm so excited to do the tech news
0:03
day I'm practically bursting here I
0:06
don't believe you apple is continuing its streak of subtly announcing new
0:11
products on its website with the new 16-in Macbook Pro and of course MKBHD
0:16
already has a video up about it guy but
0:19
that's neither here nor there the new model replaces the 15-in MacBook Pro in
0:24
Apple's lineup with a 9th gen 6 or eighth core Intel processor up to 64 GB
0:29
of memory and up to 8 tab of storage and
0:32
the radon 5300 M or 5500m gpus maxed out
0:36
it can cost you $6
0:39
60100 but the truly big news here Apple
0:42
got rid of their stupid butterfly keyboard instead they reinvented their
0:47
existing scissor switch based magic keyboard from their desktop machines and
0:52
stuck it into this one they also brought back the Escape key Jesus and it made
0:56
the laptop slightly thicker to accommodate a bigger battery for 11
0:59
hours of battery life Apple listening to their critics and making changes that
1:03
prioritize function or form what timeline is this oh it's the one where
1:08
Phil Schiller said that kids who use Chromebooks won't succeed there it is Intel is in hot
1:14
water after they didn't quite tell the truth concerning vulnerabilities in
1:18
their processors you see researchers told Intel back in September 2018 about
1:23
a series of flaws collectively known as zombie load Intel refers to them as MDS
1:29
Intel told the research Searchers to not disclose the vulnerabilities until they could de develop a patch you know that's
1:33
fair in May 2019 Intel released a patch saying the flaws were fixed but not all
1:38
of them were Intel asked the researchers to stay quiet again until yesterday when
1:43
the company said another flaw was discovered and they fixed that now too
1:47
but the researchers say that's still not the whole picture serious MDS
1:52
vulnerabilities persist in Intel
1:56
processors that the company has known about since May the researchers have now
1:59
decided to go public with it suck at Intel they're hoping it'll finally light
2:03
a fire under Intel's butt disclosing and patching security flaws is obviously a
2:08
delicate balance between public awareness and Public Safety but Intel's
2:12
had more than a year to figure this out that's that's not even lose marks for
2:17
lateness situation that's just a fail maybe they just operate better it's a
2:21
fail and Facebook's having some trouble getting regulatory approval for its
2:26
Libra cryptocurrency so the house of Zuckerberg is just launching a less
2:30
complicated digital payment system Facebook pay is essentially the
2:34
company's version of venmo allowing users of Facebook and Facebook Messenger
2:38
naturally to buy in-game purchases apparently those games event tickets and
2:42
products from businesses as well as send and receive money directly from other
2:46
users support for WhatsApp and Instagram will apparently be added in the future
2:51
I'm sure we can trust Facebook with our money right I mean yeah the iOS Facebook
2:55
app was just caught activating phone cameras while people were simply scrolling through the Facebook app but
3:00
they said that was a bug yeah it was just a bug guys fine it's fine you shall
3:05
be assimilated I've never seen a bit so quick that it could out quick a new
3:09
leaks of the Motorola Razer foldable phone popped up today just hours before
3:14
Motorola will be launching it for real this evening by the time this video goes
3:18
up you may have a better idea of what it is than we do right now so let us know
3:23
what's it like does it look okay do I do I need it I need it I'm out of here
3:28
while Google claims their medical data collection initiative known as project
3:31
Nightingale is all completely above board the US Department of Health and
3:35
Human Services has initiated an investigation just to make sure despite
3:39
the fact that patients didn't know their data was being sucked up Google says
3:44
it's not a big deal guys don't worry about it meanwhile Google also is
3:48
working on a banking initiative called Cash with a CH I don't know guys this is
3:54
getting really dystopian really fast it's fine at least there's Facebook and
3:59
Google at least there's two yeah we'll have two to and Amazon no and WeChat new
4:04
streaming service Disney plus launched yesterday and promptly gathered more
4:08
than 10 million signups across Canada the US and the Netherlands the dark
4:14
shadowlands the nether regions for context Netflix has about 60 million
4:19
subscribers in the US but that's after years of operation so things are looking
4:23
pretty good for the mous house right about now although a big chunk of users
4:27
might just call it quits after the free 1we trial expires if they don't uh fix
4:32
all the issues that are propping up like how David's chomecast doesn't work and
4:37
they cut out the Simpsons jokes and stop freaking editing out old Star Wars
4:41
movies and Guido did I say
4:45
Guido Scoundrels that's a different one Scoundrels rumors are starting to
4:50
percolate regarding NVIDIA's upcoming 7 nanometer Amper gpus with the latest
4:55
information saying that we could peep them in March at GTC the gpus were
5:00
apparently going to be announced earlier but were delayed for undisclosed reasons
5:04
I mean who knows what's going on in Jensen's head or Jean Jacka pocket just
5:09
constant screaming and it's time to Have Courage because the chromium based Brave
5:14
web browser is officially launching as version 1.0 Brave automatically blocks
5:19
trackers and invasive ads it claims to be faster than vanilla Chrome and is
5:24
apparently going to pay users to see ads
5:27
in the future what a waste of time it's not every day that I get excited about a
5:32
browser you know but that money is certainly getting me close all right
5:36
that's enough come back on Friday for more Tech news when we're going to know
5:39
more about what's going on than you do hopefully that's the way it should be
5:45
