so i bet you guys came here for the tech news but i'm still in like roast mode so
0:04
uh here's one for you tech news more like tech nudes and you ain't getting
0:10
any boom roasted then there's riley
0:13
nice script but you're basically ned flanders without the mustache boom
0:18
roasted speaking of roasted apple got roasted in
0:21
the u.s supreme court today thanks to a ruling allowing an antitrust case
0:26
against the tech giant to move forward the case which has been ongoing since
0:30
2011 aims to hold apple accountable for
0:34
its monopoly on app distribution on iOS
0:37
now while Android allows the installation of apps from outside its
0:41
official marketplace the play store iOS
0:44
does not and the argument goes that apple's 30
0:49
cut of revenue in the app store would not be competitive if iOS users were
0:54
allowed to buy apps from other stores
0:57
now this ruling does not actually decide anything in the case it just allows it
1:02
to continue but if judges ultimately side with the plaintiffs apple could be
1:07
forced to not only refund money to iOS users but also to open up the iOS
1:13
platform to third-party app stores personally i'm in favor of this though
1:17
because the way i see it iphone users deserve tech nudes just as much as
1:21
Android users that's what i call
1:25
now lenovo thinks the world needs more think branded
1:30
products so it's announced a slew of new ones the thinkpad x1 extreme is getting
1:35
a refresh with a 9th gen Intel core i9 processor and a 4k OLED display gotta
1:40
get me some of that OLED and there's also the new think book line aimed at a
1:45
more consumer-ish but still businessy
1:48
audience whatever that means with 8th gen Intel processors and starting at 729
1:53
us perhaps more interesting though is the unveiling of the think reality
1:59
a6 ar headset it essentially looks like
2:02
a competitor to microsoft's hololens powered by a snapdragon 845 based system
2:08
housed in a belt-mounted compute box
2:11
it runs its own software platform that businesses can use with their os of
2:15
choice so it isn't dependent on microsoft's mixed reality system and i
2:19
guess that could be really exciting if it wasn't so hard to care about like
2:25
basic vr and ar stuff anymore like can i
2:29
make blueprints for an iron man suit using holographic displays like tony
2:33
stark yet no all right well call me when that's done
2:38
friday what about the gender switch filters and AMD is apparently gearing up
2:43
to release Radeon rx 600 series gpus
2:46
that is if data found in the company's latest drivers are any indication a
2:51
member on the tech power-up forums found references to AMD's Radeon adrenaline
2:56
drivers for Radeon rx 620 625 630 and
3:00
640 products the entry for that last one the 640 had the same device id though as
3:06
the polaris based Radeon rx 550x
3:10
this has led some users to speculate that AMD is going to re-brand the lower
3:15
tier polaris cards and release them as 600 series cards as a way to separate
3:20
them from the navi based rx 3000 series
3:23
cards that are supposedly on the way as well
3:26
good old AMD always following that age old tech industry adage if you can't
3:31
beat them release the same thing you already had but with a higher number on
3:35
it a works every time right yeah hit me
3:40
you know what else works every time today's bad quacks brought to you by the
3:44
Corsair ironclaw wireless RGB mouse victory is in hand with the iron claw
3:50
not this hand the other hand thanks to its super comfortable right-handed palm
3:54
grip it features a bmw 3391 optical
3:57
sensor with native 000 dpi slipstream wireless technology with less than a
4:02
millisecond of latency and a range of 33 feet and up to 24 hours of battery life
4:07
now your gaming opponents may not be able to see its three zone RGB lighting
4:10

4:14

4:21
links below now wu ting best known for the looting one analog keyboard has
4:26

4:30
intended to be used by third-party manufacturers to build their own analog
4:34
keyboards some major pc hardware companies have released analog keyboards
4:38
before like cooler master with their mk850 but we may be about to see a lot
4:44
more of this in the wild and it's about time because i'm really tired of walking
4:49
way faster than the npcs you know if i want to take a leisurely stroll i just
4:53
want to you know touch it a little bit and just be like yeah yeah that's you're right in this mmo
4:58
world stroll baby now the bottomless pit that
5:02
is the epic game store has claimed yet another soul the outer wilds a space
5:07
exploration game will be exclusive to the store for an unspecified amount of
5:11
time but weird thing the game was crowdfunded and
5:16
during the campaign the developers claimed it would be released on mac
5:19
Linux and pc via steam so backers are
5:23
understandably not too less stoked as they say with this
5:28
decision you know epic just it's bad enough that they're meanies but now
5:33
they're making other game developers into liars
5:37
sweeney you need to stop this madness before you turn from a tim into a todd
5:43
in other news you might be able to pay at certain physical stores with
5:47
cryptocurrency soon thanks to an app called
5:51
speden spin
5:55
the app uses the flexa payment network and will support bitcoin bitcoin cash
6:00
and the gemini dollar it will initially work at a actually decently large number
6:05
of retailers including creighton barrel gamestop whole foods nordstrom and
6:10
jabba juice now it's not quite a physical crypto coin but hey at least
6:15
we're you know getting closer so
6:18
you know hats off to that now the success of startups like spacex
6:23
and blue origin has inspired the founders of hermes to make civilian
6:28
supersonic aircraft cool again this is neat the company is apparently
6:32
developing an aircraft that will travel at speeds of up to mach 5
6:37
making the over seven hour trip from new york to paris in an hour and a half
6:42
which raises the question is it still a seven hour trip then
6:48
the plane will apparently be made of titanium so that's pretty cool
6:51
uh sounds credible i'm looking forward to it and amazon is facing criticism for
6:56
rolling out machines in its warehouses that can box products four or five times
7:02
faster than human workers which assuming they rolled these out in all 55 of their
7:07
fulfillment centers in the us could result in 1300 employees losing their jobs now the
7:13
company says that this will allow them to create more jobs elsewhere
7:18
and conditions in amazon warehouses are apparently pretty sucky so maybe
7:24
this is good but then the thing that they're
7:27
leaving out is those jobs that amazon creates will probably lead to you know
7:32
small towns having entire you know like downtown cores of just tumbleweeds
7:38
there will be robots though so speaking of weeds it's time for us to
7:43
close to prune this weed episode it was
