i know lots of things about technology especially technology news
0:05
got got a problem with that oh i'm wearing the wrong shirt hold on
0:10
microsoft is reportedly planning on treating console ownership a lot more
0:14
like phone ownership sources at the company have told Windows central that a
0:17
plan called xbox all access which sounds
0:21
a lot more to us like xbox all paid access is in development which would
0:25
give users free xbox hardware once they
0:29
sign up for xbox live and the subscription gaming service xbox games
0:34
pass for two years too bad i'm already signed up for both lol no i'm not so
0:38
it's 22 bucks a month that would get you an xbox one s and 35 bucks a month would
0:44
get you a 4k capable xbox one x and then
0:47
you would own those consoles after the two years is up that would make it a
0:51
little cheaper over time to sign up for the program rather than buying those
0:55
components separately but not my much will this program be enough to let
0:59
microsoft compete with sony and console sales i i don't know and i'm actually
1:03
not sure if i care can you can you pre-order a subscription plan like
1:08
i mean you know actually i think this is a brilliant idea that's probably really
1:12
smart yeah yeah i know i know it's not fun it's
1:16
it's not memeable facebook has been forced to remove its vpn app from the
1:20
iOS app store after apple discovered that the app violates the store's data
1:25
collection policies no not facebook wait facebook acquired a
1:31
navo in 2013 and has been fairly open about how the app works while it does
1:35
protect your data from being snooped on by external actors it also sends data
1:40
about your device to facebook including app usage website visits and more and
1:44
more watch out you watch out for that more but ironically the app promises to keep
1:50
you and your data safe and secure your personal information and there's no
1:54
safer place than facebook servers they say mark zuckerberg nests there sleeping
2:00
on top of all that data like it's his reptilian eggs australia has reportedly
2:05
banned chinese tech companies huawei and zte from providing 5g tech for their
2:11
cellular networks the ban follows moves made by the us and the uk to draw
2:16
attention to the potential security threat posed by working closely with
2:20
chinese tech companies the argument is that relatively new legislation requires
2:24
chinese companies to support assist and
2:28
cooperate with state intelligence work meaning that whatever data companies
2:32
like huawei gather on western citizens could be used to contribute to china's
2:37
foreign intelligence huawei is the world's biggest producer of telecoms
2:41
equipment so this will only continue to be a contentious issue in the future as
2:45
for me i love china china loves me you
2:48
just ask chyna what they think of me they'll tell you
2:52
i mean they'll probably not not a language i can speak with what they'll
2:55
say but it's time for quick beats brought to you
2:59
by synergy i didn't say quick bits i said quick beats yeah it's not the same
3:02
thing if you're an i.t professional or a power user who uses two or more
3:06
computers at the same time that run a different operating system like Windows
3:09
Linux or macOS you probably have different sets of keyboards and mice for
3:13
each system unless you're really smart and you already have synergy because
3:17
synergy combines your desktop computers together into one cohesive system
3:22
allowing you to run a single keyboard and mouse across all of them so stop
3:25
juggling mice and get back to work stay hydrated helps with headaches on to the
3:31
rest of the news hardware enthusiasts were in an uproar
3:35
they do that don't they the past couple of days after Intel released microcode
3:39
updates meant to fix the spectre meltdown and foreshadow vulnerabilities
3:43
along with a license that forbade users
3:46
from running benchmarks comparing the before and after well as it turns out it
3:51
was just a very embarrassing typo and until released an updated license that
3:55
removes the offended language so now we can benchmark to our heart's contents i
3:59
mean that's what i'll be doing all weekend how about you sun and fun
4:02
i'll take just fun thank you dji has taken the wraps off the successors to
4:07
the mavic the mavic 2 pro and the mavic 2 zoom with the only difference between
4:11
the two being the variation on the hasselblad produced camera so the zoom
4:16
combines a 24 to 48 millimeter lens with 2x digital zoom to simulate the effects
4:21
of a 96 millimeter lens with its camera and the pro doesn't ha that doesn't seem
4:25
very pro at all does it no speaking of pro not Windows 95 nostalgic for Windows
4:31
95 well you can now install it as an app thanks to developer felix
4:35
reezeberg you can run all the classics paint
4:40
minesweeper solitaire it's like it's best hits you know but can it run crisis
4:45
no valve's dota 2 tournament the international is in full swing right
4:50
here in vancouver but i didn't go um because it's downtown and that's really
4:54
far i'd have to drive but one of the more interesting matches taking place is
4:58
one between humans and ai bots created
5:01
by elon musk's open ai initiative there's good news though the humans did
5:05
beat the bots which hopefully points to some kind of cool the last starfighter
5:10
situation happening in the future or like like PoE dameron being relevant
5:15
when the technology has reached that level you know as if you'd put an actual
5:19
human and starfighter looking around like that verizon says it will soon
5:22
introduce a new unlimited data plan with no caps that's right my friends you know
5:27
better no matter how bad their hair is they're just gonna let it all hang out
5:31
uh there will be no caps for first responders after they throttled the data
5:35
of firefighters during the california wildfires i mean i imagine the marketing
5:39
will be like something along the lines of you thought our unlimited plan was
5:42
unlimited well this is unlimited unlimited verizon do you know what the
5:47
word unlimited means i don't think you do and i don't either and that's fine
5:52
