you look like somebody could use some tech news
0:05
well i'm happy to oblige aren't you tired of video game consoles
0:10
that just look like boring rectangular boxes
0:14
wait you aren't well sony says you do want it as those rumors we saw of a
0:19
playstation 5 with a v-shaped cutout look like they may be true a photo of a
0:23
playstation 5 dev kit has been leaked and sure enough the thing appears to
0:27
have a giant angular vent sitting right on top of it kind of making the whole
0:31
console look like some kind of receptacle for chip dip additionally it
0:35
looks like there's a camera built into the front of the unit which might be for
0:39
live streaming huh although the design
0:42
has already caused some outcry among playstation fans it might also be a sign
0:46
that the console is powerful enough to need more elaborate cooling like how the
0:50
death star had that trench for its thermal exhaust port
0:54
slightly different and also it's a dev kit so the uh you know production design
0:58
will probably be slightly different but hey let's get upset why don't we it's been
1:03
widely reported including by us that the google pixel 4 has a pretty serious
1:07
security flaw in its face unlock feature which will unlock the phone even if the
1:11
user's eyes are shut so for example if you're sleeping someone could just hold
1:15
your phone up to your unconscious mug and access all of your data that way and
1:19
to add insult to injury google has simply advised users to keep their phone
1:23
in a safe place but the good news is that they are working on a setting that
1:27
will require the user's eyes to be open to unlock the phone imagine
1:32
imagine that however this feature is not going to be making its way to the phone
1:36
immediately with google saying it will be delivered in the coming months
1:40
so maybe make sure you're still requiring a pin in the meantime and also that your
1:45
roommates aren't complete d-bags
1:50
can we say d-bags i think so although no one really seemed
1:54
to care that much about google glass or microsoft's hololens apple hasn't given
1:59
up on the concept of the augmented reality headset as a new report
2:02
indicates that cupertino wants to get his own ar headgear to market sometime
2:06
next year with the iphone's processing power increasing apple wants to take
2:11
advantage of that by rolling out a headset to beam things like text
2:14
messages map information and video games
2:17
straight into dennis's eyeballs would you even want that
2:22
uh i'd like anything in my eyeballs
2:26
i don't know about that however apple is still reportedly
2:29
searching for a killer app so to speak for the new headset so we may not see it
2:34
until 2021 if apple doesn't think it can present users with a really compelling
2:38
use case but i personally can't wait to strap more crap i don't need to my face
2:43
that's not true these are even annoying but apparently you guys don't like me
2:47
without my glasses so
2:52
your face doesn't matter your face doesn't matter today's quick

wow quick bits weird in a piece of news that should
3:30
surprise no one both the google home and
3:33
amazon echo speakers have flaws that allow malicious apps to easily listen to
3:37
users germany-based security research Labs created eight different apps for
3:42
the device to demonstrate just how easy it was to eavesdrop with some simple
3:46
coding tricks google removed the apps and said it was working on prevention
3:50
methods but gave no other details so i think i'll stick to punching my keyboard
3:54
like a caveman for now much easier i don't know about you but i think of my
3:59
car as an extension of my own personality that's not true maybe john
4:03
does and some new tech from hyundai might make this even more true as the
4:07
company announced it's working on a smart machine learning based cruise
4:11
control project the idea is that it will learn how you drive using factors like
4:16
acceleration patterns and how closely you follow other cars and then mimic
4:20
your style though it won't learn unsafe behavior so don't expect it to do 100
4:25
miles an hour in the right lane for you it's easy enough to tell when food is
4:29
going to expire if you buy it at the local supermarket but it's a lot harder
4:33
if you have it shipped to you and lots of amazon's third-party sellers are
4:37
catching heat for just that issue as over 40 percent of sellers have been
4:41
reported for sending expired food including year-old brownies
4:47
it's a good vintage someone should probably tell them processed cakes don't
4:51
age like fine cheeses or wine i already made that joke it's hard you know life's
4:55
hard blizzcon is just around the corner and
4:58
if you've been hankering for a sequel to overwatch and don't care about
5:03
boycotting things rumor has it that you're in luck as overwatch 2 sounds it
5:08
like it'll be announced at the event although there's no word on when it
5:11
might be released or if it'll truly be a standalone title diablo 4 is also
5:16
expected to be announced so hopefully you'll have some blizzard game in your
5:19
hand soon that'll tickle your fancy john hasn't been paying
5:24
attention to the other part of the blizzard news cycle
5:28

5:32

5:37
bathroom thinks it has the answer with a toilet accessory that can alert you via
5:41
phone if there's a mechanical problem and ship you parts you need to fix it as
5:46
