it's black friday a day as dark as the
0:03
endless depths of my soul and amazon employees in europe seem to
0:08
agree as workers in germany spain italy and the uk chose the busiest shopping
0:13
day of the year to go on strike
0:17
in madrid 90 of the fulfillment center staff reportedly went on strike causing
0:22
amazon to divert orders to its other depots according to unions similar
0:27
numbers of employees walked in germany and the uk although amazon stated amazon
0:33
amazon stated that the majority of their employees are continuing to work and
0:37
that there will be no impact on customer orders the workers are striking to gain
0:42
better pay and safer working conditions an issue that has been prevalent in the
0:46
news in the past year or so it's not clear whether amazon's employees will
0:50
see their demands met but it sounds like they're
0:54
kind of down maybe they should order something nice online that'll cheer him up hey wait

what microsoft just can not catch a
1:02
break with the Windows 10 october update after being released and
1:08
then pulled and then delayed and then finally released again a new issue has
1:13
been identified triggered by some incompatible Intel drivers Intel
1:18
inadvertently released display drivers that accidentally enabled features that
1:24
aren't supported in Windows 10 which
1:28
effectively cause audio to stop working
1:31
on certain configurations now microsoft has blocked the update from rolling out
1:35
to users with the affected drivers and they are working on a fix and making
1:40
matters worse this isn't the only thing that microsoft has had to pull this
1:43
month a recent patch for office whose primary function was updating japanese
1:48
calendars to conform to their recent change of emperor caused crap are you
1:53
serious caused crashes and had to be
1:56
pulled but i mean that's understandable we all know the drill for imperial
1:59
succession your calendar change heads get lopped off it's
2:03
business as usual and we reported on monday that apple was
2:06
scaling back iphone production due to low sales but now they're taking some
2:11
more drastic steps they are slashing prices of the iphone 10r in japan and
2:15
apparently restarting production of the original iphone 10. now i don't think
2:20
this has anything to do with the emperor situation but we have no way of knowing
2:24
for sure anyway the resumption of iphone 10 production is apparently related to
2:28
the fact that apple made an agreement with samsung to purchase a certain
2:32
quantity of OLED display panels according to a report by the wall street
2:36
journal i mean you'd think apple would have learned with the iphone 5c
2:40
you don't buy an iphone because it's cheap
2:44
you buy it because it's jewelry you
2:47
don't buy inexpensive jewelry well at
2:50
least shut up shut up shut up shut up
2:54

3:14

and even you who doesn't want that NVIDIA released the rtx 2080 ti 2018
3:44
2070 but until now we've heard nothing about the rtx 2060 that is until now
3:51
final fantasy benchmarks have leaked showing performance that's about 30
3:55
faster than the gtx 1060.
3:58
now you cut that total performance in half when you turn on ray tracing and
4:02
the 2060 should be perfect for glorious cinematic 720p gaming we know google is
4:07
working on the mysterious fuchsia os
4:10
which would fuse certain aspects of chrome os and Android and now we know
4:14
what it's being tested on an engineer from huawei revealed that the company is
4:19
testing the os on an honor play running the company's chiron 970 processor so
4:25
maybe google is working with huawei again like they did for the nexus 6p
4:30
on the next big google flagship phone
4:33
the future may be fuchsia or it might still be Android Android
4:36
Android Android's probably not going anywhere speaking of google we've got another
4:41
leak of the pixel 3 light this time alongside an actual pixel 3 so the light
4:46
appears to actually be bigger with larger bezels a single rather than dual
4:50
front camera equipped device and also have a single rather than dual
4:55
front-facing speaker setup so maybe it will be light in terms of spec rather
4:59
than size sorry to disappoint you literalists also
5:03
light is more of a mass thing anyway but speaking of google again the company's
5:07
ai call making feature duplex is rolling out now to some pixel owners definitely
5:13
sounds cool although one guy demoing the feature took just as much time to tell
5:18
google to make the call as i would have taken to just
5:21
call the restaurant but then you have to talk to like
5:25
a real person
5:28
