there
0:22
um attack linked a couple of weeks ago
0:26
microsoft announced that they would switch to using chromium as the basis
0:31
for their edge browser but if a former member of the edge team is
0:35
to be believed google basically forced microsoft's hand in this an internet
0:41
user called joshua jb claims to have been a developer on the edge team and
0:45
alleges that google added a hidden empty
0:49
html element to youtube which effectively nullified the speed
0:54
advantage that edge had over chrome in
0:57
loading videos it did not make chrome any faster it
1:01
just made edge slower leading many to think that google made the change simply
1:06
to edge without investing the engineering into making their own
1:10
product better and this whole ed story is making people seriously contemplate
1:16
the fact that chromium-based browsers will represent eighty percent of all
1:21
browsers google is known for making some web
1:25
features chrome exclusive and if everyone uses chrome
1:29
that means google essentially controls
1:32
at least some aspects of the web now some people think monopolies are bad
1:37
as for me i think it's great yeah almost as good as the board game risk
1:41
especially when you pass you end up with just as many friends at the end
1:46
Windows 10 is adding a less risky way for you to run potentially sketchy
1:50
software Windows sandbox is essentially a virtual machine that will be built
1:56
into future versions of Windows in a nutshell it'll let you create
2:00
well a little isolated temporary nutshell where if there's a bad nut like
2:05
let's say an app that you don't trust all the way
2:08
or a website that you wouldn't normally visit you can open it in there without
2:13
infecting the rest of your system and sandbox will be pretty light too only
2:18
requiring a 64-bit dual-core processor
2:21
four gigs of RAM and one gig of free space
2:25
unfortunately you'll also need a pro or
2:28
enterprise version of Windows home
2:31
is not good enough and we couldn't go another week without
2:35
another story about facebook compromising its use of security could
2:38
we the new york times seems to just have it out for the web giants lately because
2:42
shortly after reporting on google's invasive tracking practices the outlet
2:46
has released another bombshell report alleging that facebook allowed a huge
2:51
list of corporations to access sensitive user data without the knowledge of those
2:56
users companies like spotify netflix and
3:00
the royal bank of canada were able to read write and delete users private
3:06
messages while apple had access to calendar entries and phone numbers some
3:11
of the companies in question say they didn't even know they had access to the
3:15
information gosh darn it we missed our chant
3:19
and facebook has responded saying that none of the partnerships in question
3:23
allowed access to user information without permission but
3:26
of course they would say that the whole debacle was capped off today by the news
3:31
that the attorney general of washington dc is suing facebook over the privacy
3:36
breaches brought to light by the cambridge analytica scandal i mean
3:40
people take breaks from facebook but i think it's time facebook took a break
