uh check it check check check check check guys it's me hosting today can i
0:04
get another box or something
0:08
hey that's better
0:12
and now for the tech news youtube ceo susan wojcicki has warned video creators
0:17
that the european union's copyright directive a wide-ranging legal proposal
0:22
currently under consideration by the european parliament would have terrible
0:26
ramifications for independent create that's us independent creators
0:31
the controversy surrounds article 13 of the proposed legislation which would
0:35
require that all online platforms
0:38
including youtube that's us again
0:41
Floatplane that all online platforms automatically
0:46
block content that may be copyrighted and if a copyright violation were to
0:52
occur the platform itself would be
0:55
liable rather than the user wachiski writes that this would
0:59
essentially force youtube to only accept
1:03
uploads from a small number of large companies as it would be too risky to
1:08
allow just anyone to upload anything as
1:11
long as youtube has to be on the hook for any legal damages that scenario
1:16
could actually destroy the independent content creator industry now of course
1:21
youtube already uses their content id system to address copyright infringement
1:26
proactively but the copyright directive would hold them liable to someone else
1:32
which means money lost and there it is it all comes down to money doesn't it
1:37
here i thought good old shoes you know was looking out for us
1:42
yeah well no i mean she she's she's right this is bad for youtube bad for
1:47
creators and quite frankly bad for the consumer so let's all hope and or take
1:52
action to ensure that the eu doesn't pass the proposal at least with its
1:56
current wording when they vote on it in january other google news they're
2:01
channeling the spirit of apple apple's not dead so they're channeling the the
2:05
the the the the soul of apple
2:10
yeah that's true with some closed ecosystem hijinks
2:13
related to wireless charging on the new pixel 3 and pixel 3 xl reports emerged
2:18
yesterday that the new phones were charging at only 5 watts on third-party
2:22
wireless charging pans pans
2:26
that's coming in the future just a pen you throw all your stuff in it it just
2:30
all charges like magic it's going to happen while charging could reach 10 watts on
2:35
the official google pixel stand while the qi wireless charging standard does
2:39
support up to 15 watts google has now confirmed that the pixel 3 and 3 xl
2:44
support qi charging but they only support it up to 5 watts and if you want
2:48
to charge it 10 you need the pixel stand which uses google's proprietary wireless
2:52
charging standard which they made specifically for these phones
2:58
yeah and that's isn't that's not even the only issue that users are having with
3:02
the pixel 3s there's a bug preventing photos from saving correctly complaints
3:07
about excessive vibration from the speakers okay i can't say i've experienced that one and a random side
3:12
notch appearing on the display on the xl you see people this is why we
3:18
can't have nice things this is what happens when you pre-order
3:22
yeah you did this talking to google right now not our
3:27
viewers they didn't do this they just enabled it and speaking of phones and
3:30
notches these two things may soon be a thing or two things of the past after
3:36
leaks pointed to samsung working on a number of under display technologies the
3:40
company has teased the a8s an all-screen
3:44
phone at the launch event for the galaxy a9s in china
3:48
what the what those are the model numbers
3:52
i don't know why they're seemingly working backwards with their naming
3:55
schemes i mean that's actually worse than what
3:58
apple did going from seven to eight to x
4:03
they're working their way down to one okay whatever meanwhile honor is teasing
4:07
their magic 2 phone which hides the front facing dual cameras behind a
4:11
slider and then xiaomi's me mix 3 will use a similar design so next year my
4:16
friends next year is going to be the year of no notches yes
4:21
yep and there's something in the script about ding dong the notches down they're
4:25
going to make me sing the song and it's time for bigfoot it's brought to you by updesk do you find yourself
4:30
sitting a lot during the day well here's some bad news sitting has been coined
4:34
the smoking of our generation besides i mean you know smoking lots of our
4:39
generation smokes anyway there's good news opdesk offers a ton of sit slash
4:44
stand solutions like desktop workstations full desks and even fancy
4:48
words like ergonomic accessories we've actually got
4:51
a bunch of them here at Linus media group and actually almost everyone uses
4:55
the sit stand functionality so so check them out at the link in the video
4:59
description just in case it's not updesk.com i don't even know the
5:02
co-founder of oculus brendan aribe
5:05
uh sure that's not how you pronounce that is leaving facebook after news
5:09
broke that the company had cancelled the next gen version of the oculus rift vr
5:14
headset which isn't to say that oculus isn't making more rift headsets it's
5:19
just that the current version they were working on the rift too so to speak was
5:24
cancelled so brendan's leaving seems like a bit of an overreaction maybe
5:30
although his exit does follow on the
5:33
heels of the exodus of co-founders of instagram and whatsapp so
5:37
maybe it's just crappy to have a lizard person for a boss i don't know i don't
5:41
know what's it like for you smart glasses might be making a comeback
5:46
maybe well they are if north the company formerly known as thalmic Labs has
5:50
anything to say about it they're launching smart glasses called focals
5:54
that look like regular glasses instead of a bad attempt at cyborging yourself
5:58
it's cyborg i'm not sure speaking of wearables mobvoi has announced the 200
6:04
tick watch classic 2 or c2 take your
6:07
pick it runs google's wear os now instead of their own Android based
6:10
system with nfc included but it's running the last gen snapdragon wear
6:14
2100 chip making it still probably one of the best Android smart watches out
6:18
there but that's not really saying something wow it's a slow news day htc's
6:23
buzzword-worthy blockchain phone the exodus one is now up for pre-order this
6:29
is news complete with its own cryptocurrency
6:33
called blatant cash excuse me uh zion uh
6:37
but you can only purchase it with cryptocurrency which is 0.15 bitcoins
6:43
478 ether tokens or
6:47
that equates to 960 us dollars worth you know htc we can google how
6:54
much that converts to in real money
6:57
that's a lot that's a lot finally apple
7:01
and samsung have been fined by italy for allegedly releasing software updates
7:06
that slow down old phones on purpose in order to force users to upgrade to a
7:10
newer model samsung has denied the allegations and interestingly the last
7:15
release of iOS actually sped up the performance for a lot of older iphones
7:19
so italy is going to have to prove that this actually happened this might just
7:23
be a ploy for our attention like italy italy's all like like
7:27
is anyone looking at us yeah we're the boot one well that's it for the tech
