are you feeling charged up for another week
0:03
i love monday yeah well you might not be
0:06
if you picked up a new iphone 10s as quite a few people are reporting that
0:10
apple's new flagship is having issues charging its battery users have taken to
0:15
apple's forums to vent about their problems because that is how we handle
0:20
things in the internet age you don't get off your couch and drive to an apple
0:24
store and complain to the representative you go on that forum i'm an adult to to
0:29
vent anyway problems range from the phone only charging after the screen has
0:34
woken up to charging abruptly stopping well before the battery reaches a
0:38
hundred percent in some cases the phones won't even charge at all the story has
0:43
been picked up by a number of outlets including the youtube channel unbox
0:46
therapy and though it was quite a bit later youtube
0:50
channel TechLinked apple has yet to comment on this
0:53
situation though wireless charging still seems to work properly so this could
0:57
just be another like headphone jack thing you know like who really uses the
1:01
wires anyway but but we're not we don't have the courage this time to remove the
1:06
jack so we'll just quietly make it stop working
1:10
facebook's problems seem to be far from over as on the heels of a recent report
1:14
that 50 million users may have had their accounts compromised due to a security
1:20
flaw they could be in very hot water with the european union over that breach
1:25
now that the gdpr is in full force although facebook has announced that it
1:30
has already fixed the vulnerability and logged out over 9 million users to
1:36
reset their access tokens 90 million that is a lot of users 90 million the
1:42
damage has been done as far as european regulators are concerned and facebook is
1:45
now staring down the barrel of a 1.63
1:49
billion how do you point a handgun at yourself that's tough
1:52
a 1.63 billion us dollar fine that's
1:56
what this is which would be over 10
2:00
of the social media giant's net income from last year that's right it would be
2:05
basically less than the taxes they don't pay now it's actually unclear as to
2:09
whether this fine will actually be imposed as regulators in ireland home of
2:14
facebook's international headquarters are awaiting more information on the
2:18
breach so until that arrives they'll just have to console themselves with the
2:21
old bottle of bourbon it's your best friend it warms the heart it does i can
2:25
oh i can't do an iron another battle is heating up between
2:29
california and washington tc this time centered around net neutrality
2:34
california recently passed a strong net neutrality bill that's supposed to
2:37
provide consumer protections similar to those repealed by the fcc earlier this
2:42
year namely a ban on blocking throttling and so-called fast lanes and even though
2:47
that's been signed into law by california's governor the federal
2:50
department of justice federal department of justice is that what they're called
2:54
dang that's a cool name they're already suing the state with fcc chairman ajit
2:58
pai calling the state law i'm a jerk and it's illegal no he didn't
3:03
say the first part so the doj's position is that california's net neutrality law
3:07
places an undue burden on the federal government's new approach to
3:11
deregulating the internet and that the state is attempting to regulate
3:15
interstate commerce a power of the u.s constitution gives to the federal
3:18
government only so a lengthy court battle is sure to follow if only there
3:22
were some kind of fast lane for resolving these kinds of kurfuffles
3:25
right now it's time for fast
3:29

4:28
of 300 megabit per second with top speeds of one gigabit depending on how

you hold your modem you know although coverage is uh that's funny that was the
4:38
