Jake get out of here dang it we're trying to do the tech news
0:06
is this the tech news AMD is freaking killing it right now and the launch of
0:10
their latest epic 7002 roam server processors is only continuing their
0:15
winning streak that sounded way too fanboyish they're
0:19
doing okay i guess if you can call twice their
0:22
performance per socket compared to Intel's entire xeon platinum range
0:27
just okay performance numbers across the board show the new epic rome processors
0:32
absolutely slaying Intel's second gen
0:35
xeon scalable chips which launched just four months ago the new parts have been
0:40
picked up by a ton of major cloud players including google cloud microsoft
0:44
azure dell lenovo and twitter Intel's ice lake server parts are slated to
0:48
arrive next year but right now if AMD
0:51
made an epic game store i'd buy everything on it baby
0:56
everything off the shelf it's a great analogy huawei has finally
1:00
taken the wraps off their homemade open sourced operating system it's called
1:05
harmony os and beyond being more salient for english speakers the name can also
1:10
sound like harmonious if you say it really fast harmony os
1:15
that's nice anyways huawei says the new os is not meant as a replacement for
1:20
Android at least for now it will debut in non-smartphone devices first like
1:24
smart watches in-vehicle systems and tvs
1:29
i guess i guess that's fair that said the company says it will be very easy to
1:33
make small changes to Android apps so they can run on harmony
1:37
that's it i hope so according to huawei the new os is micro kernel based like
1:42
google's currently in developed fuchsia os but unlike fuchsia harmony uses a
1:46
modular design that allows it to adapt to any device
1:50
so if you're wondering whether huawei wouldn't be able to control our phones
1:53
and computers when they hack our systems don't worry it'll be easy
1:59
who writes this propaganda and a couple things flew under the radar
2:03
after samsung's unpacked event on wednesday one of them being samsung's
2:07
very own game streaming app it's called
2:10
play galaxy link that sounds like an amalgam of every other company's
2:14
products what anyways it'll let you stream games from your pc to your galaxy
2:19
note 10 which by the way makes for a pretty decent gaming handheld when
2:22
combined with a controller attachment of course there are other ways to do this
2:26
already so it's a bit unclear why samsung would make this other than just
2:30
to get in on the streaming party since google stadia and microsoft project
2:34
xcloud are making it so darn cool
2:37
the other extra detail from unpacked was the fact that the galaxy book s runs off
2:42
a snapdragon 8cx and will be the first
2:45
Windows 10 ARM device to launch using the new processor
2:49
very staccato it's expected to be comparable to an Intel core i5 in
2:53
performance but we'll put that to the test ourselves when it launches i can't
2:57
wait to use all two of its ports at least it has a headphone jack
3:04
that's already 50 awesome ports wise
3:07
now it's time for the quick vince
3:10
get down now it's time for the quick bread it's brought to you by drop and the sennheiser pc37x
3:16
gaming headset it's angled drivers are from the same family as the well-known
3:20
hd598 and hd600 headphones for fantastic
3:24
sound quality featuring an open back design and noise cancelling microphone
3:27
it offers great stereo imaging and locational accuracy
3:31
join the drop today at the link below i like my accuracy to be locational look
3:36
if you don't want the quick bits just say so but we're doing them anyway
3:40
facebook is reportedly talking with news publishers about licensing their content
3:44
to publish under a new tab on facebook's site the company is looking to pay as
3:49
much as 3 million dollars a year to outlets like abc news the washington
3:54
post and bloomberg the move is probably partially designed
3:58
to relieve pressure on facebook for its role in distributing fake news and not
4:02
because facebook feels bad although
4:05
they probably should feel bad
4:09
shame on you zuck apple should also feel bad about the fact that a recent iOS
4:13
update now tells users who replace their own iphone battery that it's a degraded
4:18
battery and needs replacement even when it works
4:21
just fine as lewis rossman points out the battery will still function just
4:25
fine but users will receive vague errors about their battery health and while you
4:30
and i can live with that auntie carol is gonna think she needs to
4:34
take it out on you because you're the tech person and you
4:38
fix everything and you take it to the genius bar four and you pay a fortune
4:42
and dang it carol
4:45
so now we found out that every smartphone speaker owned by the big tech
4:48
giants is secretly recording our conversations and having them reviewed
4:51
by humans and that sucks how to move on
4:54
the answer might be an open source ai assistant like mycroft which sounds like
4:59
microsoft said very quickly but isn't mycroft makes sure that all the data
5:03
submitted for its development is opt-in i mean it was nice of google and amazon
5:08
to get us here but they've shown us they can't play fair so
5:12
it's time to go sit in the corner and give someone else a turn you know go on
5:17
five minutes a company named human things has developed the genki a covert
5:23
dock for the nintendo switch in the form of a wall plug with usb-c
5:27
usb-a and an HDMI port built in so it's
5:30
less of a dock and more of a plug but hopefully it performs as advertised
5:34
because the world of third-party switch accessories is kind of iffy it's blown
5:39
past its funding goal on kickstarter which means pro tip you don't have to
5:43
support it just wait to see if other people get screwed
5:47
never pre-order guys kickstarter is another name for pre-order and security researcher
5:52
vishuli krevitz has disclosed a zero-day
5:55
vulnerability in the Windows client for steam which could let anyone run code
6:00
with elevated system privileges that's not a good thing as ours technical
6:04
points out a malicious developer could potentially create a game that takes
6:09
advantage of the x-play valve has not responded to the issue yet and
6:12
valve we know you're really busy making money off hats and stuff right now could
6:16

6:20
and also make good games again you cowards tell them
6:24

6:28

6:32

6:39
robots love metal
