oh man i was streaming last night and i was
0:04
just like oh you know what i i just feel too tired to be entertaining right now
0:09
and it was fine but now it's TechLinked and TechLinked is supposed to be
0:12
entertaining and i'm still feeling it or rather that is that i'm not feeling it
0:16
but it's okay because it's not entertainment it's the news
0:21
here i go a number of details about potential upcoming surface devices have been let
0:26
loose in a new book by brad sams a
0:29
gentleman with two first names he's a writer for thoreau who has covered
0:33
microsoft's brands for years and among the claims made in the book are a 2020
0:38
release of a surface studio display that
0:41
would be compatible with the detachable modular pcs currently planned for
0:46
microsoft's large surface hub displays sams also claims that's singular sams
0:52
not more than one sam that the company's dual screen andromeda device is in fact
0:57
still in development and targeting a late 2019 launch while the next batch of
1:02
surface pcs may include some AMD powered
1:06
models and finally finally usb type c he
1:10
also reiterated the rumor that a diskless xbox one model and a revamped
1:15
cheaper xbox one s are coming next year
1:19
but all of this info came from a book
1:22
what year is it come on baby if you stayed at a marriott hotel sometime in
1:26
the last four years you might want to pay attention as the international chain
1:30
just announced that up to 500
1:33
million of its guests may have had their personal information compromised bloody
1:38
hell i was out of myriad on tuesday
1:41
the company was made aware in september that an attempt was made to access a
1:45
database containing info from as far back as 2014
1:50
and a subsequent investigation found that there was indeed a breach names
1:55
addresses dates of birth passport numbers
1:59
why are you storing those email addresses and phone numbers may
2:05
have all been accessed in the attack the hack is even bigger than last year's
2:09
equifax hack which affected 148 million
2:13
people just like equifax marriott has set up a
2:16
dedicated website for guests to get information and take steps to protect
2:20
themselves on their own because marriott
2:23
won't really be doing anything for you you know what their mattresses may be
2:27
wonderful but i'm still pissed yeah phones with a
2:31
camera hole punched in the display they're real and they're coming we've
2:36
gotten the first real images of devices using the new design one from huawei and
2:40
one from lenovo huawei's device is called the nova 4 and the chinese tech
2:45
giant showed it off during a live stream celebrating the 18th birthday of chinese
2:50
singer jackson yee oh jackson is 18 already yeah wow the
2:55
years just fly by don't they wow lenovo's device meanwhile is called the
2:59
z5s and it appeared in leaked photos showing the camera cut out positioned in
3:04
the center of the notification bar rather than off to the side but that
3:09
wait a minute what is the purpose of not having a notch if you have a hole because the
3:14
video is for watching video it's going to be in the middle here yeah i mean why not just have the whole notch
3:20
it's time for cow week pits brought to you by brilliant the new way to master
3:24
keynote wasn't the same concepts in math science computer science and other
3:28
professional topics rather than sitting through lectures brilliant helps you
3:31
master concepts by solving fun challenging problems for yourself it's
3:35
all broken down into bite-sized chunks so you can assemble parts of the idea
3:39
before building back up to an interesting conclusion over five and a
3:42
half million members are already sharing their curiosity and love for math and
3:46
science plus the first 200 tech link
3:49
viewers to sign up will get 20 off so head to brilliant.org TechLinked and
3:54
sign up today in fact you don't even have to be a tech link viewer you can
3:57
just not watch the video and just use the link in the description
4:00
it would work just as well hololens is joining the army microsoft has secured a
4:06
480 million dollar contract to add its
4:09
augmented reality headsets to the military's armory the contract appears
4:14
to indicate that hololens will be used primarily for training purposes not as a
4:18
heads-up display in the field but then how will we ever find out who the next
4:22
luke skywalker is look you've switched off your targeting computer nintendo is
4:27
finally hitting its much-maligned creators program which
4:32
sounded creators program sounds great
4:36
but was actually really stupid and heavily restricted the publishing and
4:40
streaming of the company's games the program shuts down at the end of
4:44
december and nintendo has released new much less prohibitive guidelines so
4:49
nintendo's pg gates have opened now it's only a matter of time before we get
4:53
blood spattered smash brothers you know that you know that isn't happening oh
4:57
yeah vivo a company now known for pushing the envelope of phone design has
5:02
teased the next two a phone with displays on both the front and the back
5:06
along with an interesting led ring on the rear it's a solution also employed
5:11
by the nubia x in pursuit of a camera-free front display it's a little
5:16
over the top but uh hey if it works my selfie game will have never been
5:20
stronger i actually think this is a great idea why do we have crappy front-facing cameras we just have one
5:24
camera and a crappy rear-facing display brilliant i thought you didn't like it
5:28
no i love it tired of shuffling around getting stuff done with your boring old
5:32
meat bag body then hop into the toyota thr-3 a humanoid robot that can be
5:38
controlled wirelessly by a human in an exoskeleton rig don't worry too much
5:42
about that you have to be doing the movement i guess if you're in an
5:45
exoskeleton rig but you don't have to be so strong previous versions of the thr-3
5:50
depended on wires but now the robot can be sent anywhere to cause whatever havoc
5:55
you prefer the operator wears a vr headset so they
5:58
can stare into the eyes of their victims as they crush their skulls very exciting
6:03
stuff and after fallout 76's rocky beta
6:07
the launch was well rocky and beta
6:11
players have been complaining about the game's empty world and janky mechanics
6:15
but the cherry on top really is the 200
6:19
fallout 76 power armor edition a collector's version that was supposed to
6:23
come with a canvas bag for the life-sized helmet included in the box
6:28
but you know what you guys can can i have something can i have something to
6:31
throw down i need something to throw down hit me with that tape beautiful you
6:35
know what canvas is not nylon and nylon is not
6:41
canvas and they are not the same thing and it wasn't canvas it was nylon
6:45
bethesda responded to complaints about the bag by saying that the original
6:49
canvas bag was a prototype and was too
6:52
expensive to make they also gave affected players 500 atoms which sounds
6:57
like even less than it actually is it's
7:00
the in-game currency but that isn't even enough to buy a canvas bag in-game so
7:04
you know what here can i can i have that back for a second yeah
7:08
you know what people want their canvas
7:12
bethesda what's the point of having pow a power armor helmet when you can't
7:16
store it in canvas yeah i wanna i could keep going about this for hours but i'm
7:22
just i'm too mad nylon of all the materials i wouldn't even take a nylon
7:27
shirt off like this make sure you subscribe for more tech
7:30
linked in the future
7:33
i almost did it but i wasn't quite that mad
