it's about time for some tech news so it's a good thing that lastpass
0:03
sponsored this episode otherwise it might never have been tech news time at
0:07
all thanks lastpass love you what i don't love is the fact that the european
0:13
parliament just passed their copyright directive legislation the directive has
0:17
been argued about for more than two years with two specific clauses article
0:21
11 and 17 singled out for their potentially disastrous effect on the
0:26
open internet article 11 requires platforms to pay for the privilege of
0:30
posting snippets from and links to publishers content so it's known as the
0:35
link tax the updated law allows short extracts of news articles to be shared
0:40
freely but anything beyond a certain limit will be taxed article 13
0:44
which has been renamed to article 17 in the current legislation requires users
0:48
to get licenses for using copyrighted content like photos or videos before
0:52
uploading it to web platforms like youtube facebook or instagram those
0:56
platforms would then be responsible for scanning and blocking all content
1:00
containing copyrighted stuff in it and they'd be liable and would have to pay
1:05
fines for any copyright infringement present on their platform that kind of
1:09
sucks for both creators and the big guys like google and facebook now the
1:13
internet apocalypse hasn't struck in full yet member states of the european
1:17
union now have two years to enact laws enforcing the new directive in
1:21
individual countries and there are some parts of the directive that might
1:24
improve free expression and better compensate creators for their work in
1:29
some places but a lot of people still think this legislation is not acceptable
1:33
in its current form although memes and gifs are exempt from
1:38
enforcement so techlinked may die
1:41
but the memes will live on
1:44
post some memes for me
1:47
huawei is kind of a meme at this point but that's not stopping them from
1:50
innovating in phone technology it's been leaked like crazy already but yesterday
1:54
the company officially unveiled the p30 and p30 pro the front has an in-display
1:59
fingerprint reader and a teardrop notch so no hole punch or pop-up selfie
2:03
cameras here and it's also got a vibrating screen sort of like lg's
2:07
recent phones but the p30 pro's focus is definitely on photography with three
2:11
rear cameras one of which is capable of five times optical zoom thanks to an
2:16
embedded periscope style zoom lens oppo has been working on a system like this
2:20
but the p30 pro appears to be the first such design to make it to market they're
2:24
also making smart glasses which actually look like they might be stylish and
2:27
useful it's so much easier to be suspicious and
2:31
avoid huawei devices when their phones aren't actually good stop it huawei ah
2:36
come on and sony tried their hand at a nintendo
2:40
direct style presentation on monday with the company's first state of play event
2:44
unfortunately there wasn't much in the way of video game meat to speak of we
2:49
got a celebration of the fact that sony has sold 4.2 million playstation vr
2:53
headsets in the three years since launch and accordingly sony is bringing 25 new
2:58
vr titles to ps4 in the next few months including the story driven action game
3:02
blood and truth an iron man vr game and
3:06
vr versions of five nights at freddy's and no man's sky we got some trailers
3:10
for other games as well but what we didn't get was teases for new hardware
3:14
we basically know the next five xboxes that are coming out what's going on
3:17
behind the scenes sony i guess you don't need to leak details when you already
3:21
cornered the high-end console market got em now it's time for quick bits brought to
3:25

4:03
onto the quick bits the huawei p30 pro may have a camera with five times
4:07
optical zoom but oppo is hot on their heels with the
4:11
reno renault which will apparently have a 10
4:15
times optical zoom if a leaked video is any indication i can't help but feel
4:19
we're losing the appreciation for super zoomed in memes that lose all clarity i
4:23
want to zoom in on someone's face and see a blurry mess not high resolution
4:28
acne stop it dennis stop zooming in what what stop the eternal battle between
4:33
apple and qualcomm continues as
4:37
eternal battles do in one court case a judge ruled in apple's favor saying that
4:41
the company did not infringe on a qualcomm patent for a battery saving
4:45
feature in another case a different judge ruled that apple did infringe on
4:49
two other qualcomm patents and that ruling might lead to a u.s import ban on
4:54
certain iphone models it just goes to show if you're gonna switch the company
4:58
whose modems you're exclusively licensing make sure that you're not
5:01
infringing on any patents before you make the switch a lesson i think we can
5:05
all learn ASUS has released a fix for the shadowhammer backdoor vulnerability
5:09
that it accidentally distributed through its pc update software the newest
5:13
version of the live update app addresses the flaw so if you've got ASUS hardware
5:18
make sure you're updated and then just do a clean install of Windows and then
5:22
move to a cave in the mountains it's the only way to be safe steam has called for
5:25
some reinforcements in its battle with the epic game store and bethesda has
5:30
answered the developer has revealed that all of its currently announced and
5:34
upcoming games will be launching on steam as well as the bethesda launcher
5:38
including rage 2 wolfenstein youngblood and cyberpilot and do maternal
5:44
okay bethesda probably also needs some help after the fallout 76 debacle but
5:48
i'm sure steam appreciates it all the same and xiaomi has demonstrated a 100
5:53
watt charger that managed to completely fuel up a 4 000 milliamp hour battery in
5:58
just 17 minutes without exploding dang
6:02
lil rice ain't so little anymore cause little cause xiaomi
6:07
xiaomi means little rice excuse me for rice
