it's time for TechLinked who's ready everybody
0:06
there's no one else here except dennis
0:09
happy easter dennis
0:13
but spacex was probably not enjoying their long weekend as the company's
0:17
dragon spacecraft apparently exploded on its landing pad during the countdown for
0:22
an engine test i said apparently because spacex's official statement called the
0:26
incident simply an anomaly but leaked video seems to show the explosion
0:31
definitely happening in addition large orangish clouds of smoke could be seen
0:36
at the launch site so something exploded i know explosions
0:41
anyways the dragon is spacex's capsule designed to hold a crew and it already
0:45
successfully flew an unmanned demo mission to the international space
0:48
station in march while no one was hurt in this incident spacex will probably
0:52
have to do some deep analysis to try and figure out what caused the problem which
0:56
could delay future missions and just to make elon musk's weekend even worse a
1:01
tesla was documented catching fire in a shanghai parking lot yesterday as well
1:06
what is this elon did you just make a bunch of fake cars and rockets and stuff
1:10
as a prank is a clown gonna bust out of
1:13
dennis's model three if he buys one
1:17
why would you do dennis dirty like that dennis
1:21
i can't afford one oh he says he can't afford one anyways
1:24
okay well Linus give dennis a raise samsung is not
1:30
playing around with the launch of the galaxy fold after the whole kerfuffle
1:33
with reviewers peeling off their device's screen protectors which weren't
1:37
actually screen protectors and the folds displays failing samsung has decided to
1:42
delay the phone's launch the galaxy fold was supposed to launch on april 26th
1:47
this friday for 1980 us dollars but the
1:51
company is postponing that indefinitely to evaluate all of the reports of
1:55
malfunctioning units and run further tests a new release date will be
1:58
announced in the coming weeks folding phones haven't happened yet because the
2:01
technology just wasn't there but perhaps
2:04
it still isn't except i just know huawei is going to launch their folding phone
2:09
and everything's going to work just perfectly
2:12
freaking huawei i mean we might be right
2:16
to be suspicious of huawei depending on how much you trust the cia the u.s
2:21
intelligence agency shared information with members of the five eyes alliance
2:25
that's america canada britain australia and new zealand indicating that huawei
2:30
is partially funded by china's national security commission the people's
2:34
liberation army and a third division that is also part of the chinese
2:37
intelligence apparatus now this information was not shared publicly so
2:42
effectively this is just another example of an accusation leveled against huawei
2:46
without any real evidence to back it up and for huawei's part they seem to be
2:51
doing just fine despite pressure from the us as today the company said their
2:55
first quarter revenue has gone up by 39 percent compared to the same time last
2:59
year i mean look i'm suspicious of huawei 2 but at some point
3:04
you gotta show the receipts america unless they're from a cvs those are
3:08
way too long i don't want to see those you like it long
3:13
i'm talking about receipts dennis you can't make it dirty now it's time
3:17

storyblocks video helps you get your creative vision out into the world
3:32
faster and without breaking the bank we use it here at Linus media group all the
3:35
time especially when we need to get a video produced fast like for TechLinked
3:40
for example we write shoot and edit all in the same day so having access to the
3:44
footage we need now is crucial i'm pretty sure if i made dennis go shoot
3:48
b-roll for every tech league he'd actually murder me so to learn more

4:22
Intel is busy redoing their whole approach to graphics and is asking tech
4:26
enthusiasts on reddit what they want to see in the company's graphical products
4:30
instead of an ask me anything Intel's holding ask you anything sessions on
4:34
their subreddit so if you have strong opinions about graphics tech or just
4:39
need someone to listen to you complain about your personal problems it sounds
4:42
like you might find someone ready to listen over there last week during the fortnite world cup
4:46
qualifier matches epic games banned 1163 accounts for two weeks for
4:52
sidestepping region locks players apparently did this so they could have
4:56

5:33
that's exciting dennis researchers at mit have developed a
5:38
particle simulation system that helps ais learn how to grab objects without
5:43
applying too much force this will be crucial for us to build
5:46
robots that can give us hugs without also making us dead there's also other
5:51
applications for that that i didn't think about until just now because you
5:55
you've got a dirty mind he's got a he's weird up here
