technology news it's happening right now people are building robots and stuff all
0:04
the time ah it's crazy what's a normal amount of RAM to having a phone
0:10
four gigs six well it's about to go up buddy
0:15
because samsung has begun mass production of its lpddr5 memory which
0:19
should enable flagship phones with up to 12 gigabytes of memory in the next few
0:24
months unless you're an iphone user you get five next year maybe that's very
0:27
true i didn't think about that the new dram is also about thirty percent more
0:31
power efficient and thirty percent faster than current gen lpddr4x4266
0:37
with samsung touting a 44 gigabytes per second transfer speed for some packages
0:42
but if you were looking for the new memory in the galaxy note 10 that's
0:45
launching next month bad news that phone don't have it but
0:50
for future phones the increased speed will apparently make lp ddr5 much better
0:54
suited for mobile applications of modern buzzword type technologies like ai
1:00
5g tick tock you know privacy
1:05
face snap trying to protect your privacy in 2019 is basically a farce and a new
1:10
scandal concerning browser extensions leaking users personal information has
1:14
made that more clear than ever security researcher sam jadali identified a large
1:19
number of extensions for chrome and firefox which collected and leaked the
1:23
web histories of as many as 4.1 million users including urls web page titles and
1:30
some pages that displayed personal information despite being protected with
1:33
the password well did it make their faces look older
1:37
no that's very true it's fine then get it out of here extensions that were
1:41
confirmed to have participated include fair share unlock speak it hover zoom
1:46
panel measurement superzoom save from.net helper branded surveys and
1:52
panel community surveys uninstall those extensions if you have
1:56
them but also the damage might be done hopefully you've learned your lesson
2:01
don't go on the internet it's bad for your arteries i hear mom
2:05
was right and the mystery of google stadia is finally starting to become
2:09
clear after a reddit ama hosted by the director of product for stadia andrei
2:14
duronichev here's what was clarified the 10 per month stadia pro subscription
2:19
will come with one free game per month with the first one being destiny 2 with
2:24
all those dlc bells and whistles we've found out about if you cancel your sub
2:28
you will lose access to those free games but you retain access to any games that
2:33
you purchase yourself on stadium and yes you'll have to purchase games although
2:36
it's still unclear what will happen if stadia itself is cancelled or taken
2:40
offline you will be able to download your data using google takeout but
2:45
probably won't be able to play those games so it's becoming clear that stadia
2:49
base is essentially a free online streaming console stadia pro is like
2:54
xbox live gold or playstation plus giving access to premium features and
2:59
some free games i'm glad it's starting to make sense but
3:02
like google could you just could you just come out and say that
3:06
next time wait so you get one game one like concurrently one game a month
3:10

4:23
quick uh we have fun it's almost the 50th
4:28
anniversary of the apollo moon landing so nasa and everyone else are talking
4:32
about america's artemis project to return to the moon well elon musk seems
4:37
to think it would be pretty easy he told time magazine that spacex could land the
4:40
company's starship vehicle on the moon by 2021 and they might just do it
4:45
themselves if they can't convince nasa of their capabilities is that the
4:49
starship that doesn't actually exist yet elon i can't
4:53
can't remember i'm trying to do a burn here it doesn't really i'm a nice person
4:56

4:59
might have seen this face app thing going around everyone's been using it to artificially age photos of themselves
5:04
have you used it what do i live under a virtual rock
5:07
what i have no so you have used it other people have well formed you might
5:12
be in trouble it's caused some concern among some u.s lawmakers who have called
5:16
for an fbi investigation into the app and its russian developer wireless lab
5:20
who says that while the app uploads photos to its servers to do image
5:23
processing it doesn't keep the photos
5:26
they're apparently deleted within 48 hours
5:30
we take photos it's fine don't worry about it
5:34
that's a good app it's fun huawei's supposed Android
5:38
replacement hong mega os isn't an Android replacement at all according to
5:42
the company huawei's senior vice president catherine chen says the os is
5:46
intended for industrial use not for the company's smartphones which will
5:50
continue to use Android that is if they
5:53
get that whole national security threat thing worked out after getting reamed
5:57
out by both congress and the senate facebook's david marcus says that the
6:00
company is going to slow down its development of the libra cryptocurrency
6:04
making sure that it's in compliance with laws relating to money laundering and
6:08
other financial crimes ah old people slowing us down indeed this will be
6:13
interesting to watch because a giant corporation trying to make a
6:16
cryptocurrency which is essentially a decentralized form of money that is
6:20
attractive largely because it can't really be regulated by the government it doesn't actually make a whole lot of
6:24
sense government corporate world bitcoin
6:30
overthrow the overlords of
6:35
you live there wow united states of google and for
6:39
those interested in saving a buck or two while upgrading to 3rd gen ryzen MSI has
6:43
announced max versions of some of their 300 and 400 series am4 motherboards
6:48
which come with support for the new processors baked in along with 32
6:51
Gigabyte eproms so the boards will still support older processors even after the
6:56
new BIOS updates some BIOS updates for current boards ended up erasing support
7:00
for older cpus and we mustn't forget where we come from
7:06
in my case
7:09
the generic white guy simulator that's it for tackling people but that's not it
