so if you want a lot of information given to you as fast as possible you can
0:03
go watch our sister channel Techquickie um or if you just want a mediocre amount
0:09
of information with some jokes interspersed then there there's always
0:13
this one apple's worldwide developer conference
0:16
keynote happened today and plenty of announcements were made including
0:20
independent apps for the apple watch this isn't app watch don't worry about
0:24
it that don't require an iphone iOS 13
0:28
was announced with features like the long-anticipated
0:31
dark mode a swipe keyboard and a
0:34
competitor to google's street view that can be navigated with swipes instead of
0:38
taps apple is also rolling out a sign in with
0:42
apple feature to compete with facebook and google and like steam and lots of
0:46
other things and they're touting that unlike competitors apple will not track
0:50
you when you sign into third party sites additionally there's a new ipad os that
0:55
will be based on iOS but include more ipad specific features to better use the
1:00
larger screen and of course much much
1:04
more wait how does our summary not include the new mac pro
1:07
the new mac pro it's a tower now
1:12
anyway we don't want to be accused of apple chilling again so we're going to
1:16
move on to other stuff could Radeon graphics be coming to your
1:20
mac pro yes they could no sorry sorry we're going to knock it's not going to
1:24
be apple stuff sorry to your next smartphone smartphone could Radeon
1:28
graphics be coming to your next smartphone well i'm not saying that AMD
1:32
is going to be shoving an rx vega card into something small enough to carry in
1:36
your pocket but it does appear that AMD will be licensing some of its graphics
1:41
technologies to samsung for use in its
1:44
phone lineup officially the announcement concerns a
1:48
multi-year partnership in ultra low power high performance mobile graphics i
1:53
can't even do finger quotes for long enough for that title and of course
1:57
samsung will be paying AMD handsomely for the privilege so the technology will
2:01
be based on AMD's rdna a technology which is supposed to scale very well
2:06
between devices and seeing a samsung controls almost half of the Android
2:11
market the announcement could mean significantly better graphics for tons
2:15
of users in the near future that is as long as they aren't married to their
2:21
while they're iphones in other news it looks like the ball is fully rolling on
2:26
front-facing selfie cameras that are totally buried behind the phone screen
2:30
competitors oppo and xiaomi have both revealed phones with invisible front
2:36
cameras okay they're a little bit visible but but the screen's in front of
2:39
them so xiaomi's me nine announcement came mere hours after apple unveiled
2:44
what it referred to as the world's first so instead of relying on something
2:49
like a hole punch xiaomi's cameras are covered by a transparent display portion
2:54
that allows light to pass through now because these announcements were just
2:57
made there's no word yet on when the phones will be available or how well the
3:02
camera itself will actually perform compared to the you know super visible
3:07
selfie cameras that we already know and love but hopefully if nothing else this
3:11
will end up killing off the dreaded notch the most
3:15
just totally unnecessary problem of our time
3:18
now it's time for the bat quacks brought to you by the massdrop pc37x headset in
3:24
collaboration with sennheiser massdrop is offering this open-back gaming
3:27

3:31
hd600 headphones they're great for gaming and music and featuring noise

like a copy of brexit for dummies
4:29
snapchat has long allowed you to create bitmoji uh these little uh cartoonized
4:34
versions of yourself but now facebook is entering the refrain the
4:39
frame the frame of this video oh hi facebook oh my goodness
4:44
facebook is entering the fray with a competitor simply called avatars
4:49
although the idea is similar in that you can change the usual variables like
4:53
hairstyle skin color and clothing can you please turn me blue
4:59
uh the characters have a distinctly different look they've all got tails and
5:04
they live on a planet made of unobtainium sorry sorry

have a distinctly different look from their snapchat counterparts however this
5:11

5:44
that is supposed to upscale content more effectively the pre-order price is
5:49
around 34 000 us dollars um but hey at
5:53
least they'll throw in an air purifier which is helpful because if you sit in
5:57
front of your beautiful new tv for a super long time without showering you're
6:01
gonna need it yeah that's worth it now it's unclear whether microsoft is going
6:05
to be throwing its hat into the problematic folding screen device ring
6:10

6:23
Windows specifically for dual screen gadgets
