0:20
no i know colors i went to preschool are you sure
0:24
well i may not know colors but i do know tech news ces may be over but the tech
0:29
news train keeps rolling along so let's get right to it if you're a proud owner
0:34
of a nintendo switch it probably feels a little strange that folks that use the
0:38
older gen 3ds and wii u have access to
0:42
super nest titles but you don't but a recent code leak suggests that
0:46
that is about to change and it looks like switch online users will be getting
0:51
plenty of classics nest games at some point down the line mentioned titles
0:55
include super mario kart super mario world super legend of mario zelda link
1:02
to the super past super yoshi's island super metroid super pilot super wings
1:07
super f0 and super punch out
1:11
there's no word exactly on when nintendo plans to make these titles available to
1:15
players but it looks like a pretty solid i would even say super lineup to help
1:20
you catch up on your old favorites that you missed out on because you were
1:24
deprived as a child in which case they wouldn't be your old favorites are you a
1:28
drone enthusiast from right here in good old kineda
1:31
well you might have a lot more red tape to fly through pretty soon before you
1:36
can pick up your drone controller again starting on june 1st transport canada is
1:41
going to start requiring you to register your drone if it's more than 250 grams
1:45
which is a little over half a pound for our yankee friends and you can forget
1:50
about flying a drone if you're under 14. you are simply too immature folks who
1:55
are in canada temporarily such as foreigners present on a work visa also
1:59
will be barred from flying drones those who float the rules do so at their own
2:04
peril as individuals flying drones for personal use can be fined up to a
2:08
thousand canadian rupals that's about
2:11
i don't know a buck 50 us for flying without certification and up to three
2:16
grand if you flew the drone in an unsafe manner so forget about flying your
2:21
walmart drone to canada to steal maple syrup
2:24
don't be totally surprised if you're living in the u.s by the way and you've gotten more spam calls recently as the
2:29
lengthy federal government shutdown has limited what government authorities
2:33
charged with consumer protection can actually do to prevent marketers and
2:38
scammers from lighting up your phone lines the website for the long-running
2:43
do not call registry isn't currently taking new submissions and marketers who
2:48
play by the rules and frequently check the do not call list can't check it for
2:52
updated numbers on top of that there could be issues with spotty enforcement
2:56
especially as the federal website for reporting identity theft is also
3:00
inaccessible for the time being given the current gridlock in dc over the
3:04
shutdown this might continue to be an issue for some time so you might want to
3:08
keep your phone on vibrate for a bit or you could get a pixel call screening
3:13

4:01
adolescent Linus wait no you guys don't remember that i guess i never told
4:06
anybody that well you can now buy a one terabyte sd card as lexar has just
4:12
brought one to market now it's a mid-range card in terms of performance
4:16
rated at uhs1 speeds so that'll be good enough for a 4k video with some cameras
4:21
and at 500 it's not cheap but my friends can you really put a
4:27
price on not having to swap sd cards over and over because lexar did it's 500

4:37
have been paying attention to all the social media lash back lash back
4:43
flashback i like it and uh and well the cease and
4:47
desist that he got from i think allegedly nintendo he's ripping off
4:50
video game consoles again so mr boy did have to pull his nintendo emulator box
4:56
off the market but he has since released the soulja game
5:01
which looks suspiciously like a ps vita
5:04
or should i say more suspiciously like a
5:08
chinese knockoff of a ps vita that you can get on aliexpress
5:12
so it can be yours for 100 bucks or 25
5:16
if you have the technology to zoom in on the pictures on his soulja website and
5:20
see the markings on the console and then google them and find the monali express
5:26
india is cracking down on what it considers illegal social media posts and
5:31
industry giants such as facebook and mozilla are none too pleased the
5:35
proposed new rules say that unlawful content has to be taken down within 24
5:41
hours with the idea being that they want to fight political fake news and prevent
5:46
unrest such a rule could burden providers
5:49
though and critics worry that the rules border on censorship the good news
5:54
though is i'm pretty sure that hot takes about bollywood movies are still fair
5:57
game and i think the world is better off the more
6:01
of those that exist what did you think about tiger zinda hai

6:19
app-connected basketball sneakers tomorrow a promotional video shows nba
6:24
stars controlling the laces from smartphones and apparently being
6:28
impressed totally not sponsored at all so you'll need to pay
6:33
about 350 us dollars for the privilege of not having to lace up your kicks by
6:37
hand just don't allow any of that residual laziness to carry over into your actual
6:42
game okay if you script in me being like yo
6:47
where the f is the back to future reference then it's in there that it's
6:51
in the script and from the truth is stranger than
6:55
fiction department police in california brought about a peaceful end to what
6:59
could have been a violent standoff this weekend by having a robot deliver a vape pen to
7:05
a suspect the perp had threatened to set a gas
7:10
station on fire and later demanded a cigarette bot officers gave the man a
7:15
vape pen instead to reduce the risk of the fire that
7:19
he threatened after which he was arrested without further incident this
7:24
might be the only known instance of a vape pen actually being responsible for
7:28
something helpful and or cool
7:32
you don't vape you don't vape it's not lit
7:36
