look i get it you might not actually want any tech news right now
0:05
wait
0:09
why would they be here then i don't know this is tech news apple may be about to
0:13
start taking the pro part of macbook pro
0:16
a bit more seriously as code in the latest beta build of macOS catalina
0:20
references a pro mode but it's not just
0:24
something to make apple users feel better about dropping a big wad of cash
0:28
on their new laptop this mode would apparently be similar to the high
0:32
performance modes found in gaming laptops as other bits of code mention
0:36
apps running faster but at the expense of reduced battery life and increased
0:41
fan noise the available evidence also suggests
0:44
pro mode would only be found in models with the new thermal design found in the
0:48
16-inch macbook pro now obviously a feature like this would be great for
0:52
avoiding the kind of thermal throttling issues that we saw in the 2018 core i9
0:57
macbook pro but it would also potentially make playing games a lot
1:00
better on macOS what
1:03
can't wait to try apple arcade let's all have a moment of silence for Windows 7.
1:13
it was too soon Windows 7 died a peaceful death this morning or at least
1:19
would have if all you people weren't still running it it's dead jim unless
1:23
you're a corporate customer who's paying for extended support you are now being
1:27
left behind without security and feature updates we even did a whole video about
1:32
this on Linus tech tips last year and to help scare you guys into upgrading look
1:37
the nsa just found a vulnerability in Windows that could be exploited to
1:41
validate fake certificates and even allow remote code execution attacks they
1:46
reported it to microsoft instead of exploiting it themselves which is
1:49
actually a nice change from the norm for the nsa and microsoft released a patch
1:54
so everyone listening who has an operating system that can actively
1:57
receive security patches please download the latest update for the rest of you
2:02
stay strong out there in the wasteland and in one of the most wtf stories that
2:06
i've ever encountered scientists have made living robots that were designed by
2:12
ai and then constructed using stem cells
2:15
from frog embryos see i told you it was weird
2:18
so a supercomputer at the university of vermont was tasked with designing a new
2:23
organism using individual cells as building blocks and then running them
2:28
through an evolutionary simulation as in the most successful designs carry
2:32
forward and are iterated on once the design was finalized biologists at tufts
2:38
university in massachusetts assembled the robots using frog skin cells for
2:43
structure and then heart muscle cells for locomotion the resulting computer
2:48
generated organisms are less than a millimeter in length they repair
2:52
themselves after injury and can live for about a week or as long as their
2:57
implanted food source lasts they cannot reproduce because they don't
3:02
have organs for that can you imagine like here's your job you know dr jeffrey
3:07
sinshire make a fake robot frog penis
3:12
yeah they don't have brains and they hopefully aren't going to turn us all
3:15
into zombies but they are intended to eventually venture inside humans doing
3:21
things like scraping arteries for plaque
3:25
or delivering medicinal payloads to a specific organ
3:29
what i am not ready for this future yet i
3:33
know it was weird i was like what we're there already and we're there at the
3:36
quibbly bibbles brought to you by the drop control mechanical keyboard this
3:40
baby's got it all a solid cnc aluminum frame a built-in switch plate and that
3:45
most crucial of all pc gamer features RGB lighting the control also features
3:50
qmk firmware for customizability hot swappable keyswitches with cherry mx
3:54
kaiwa or halo options and dual usb type-c connectors plus if you've never
3:59
signed up with drop you can get 10 off this keyboard today so buy it at the
4:03
link below or on drop.com on to the bibles AMD might finally be
4:08
bringing out the high-end parts from their navi-based graphics card lineup as
4:12
an eec listing shows entries for an rx 5800 xt 5900
4:17
59.50 i can't amp it up any more than that
4:21
59.50 xp wow
4:24
that's all we really had to go on for now although dr lisa sue did say that we
4:28
would get gpus with ray tracing in 2020
4:31
so i guess we know that and we also know that these Radeon parts
4:36
probably won't live up to the success of their ryzen counterparts but that
4:41
doesn't mean we can't pull for him yeah you know i i believe you can do it
4:45
because i never learn apple is expected to wise up and replace the lightning
4:49
connector in iphones with usb type-c eventually but if they don't the eu
4:53
might actually force them to lawmakers in the european parliament are
4:57
discussing legislation that would require all mobile phones and portable
5:00
electronic devices to use the same charger but knowing apple they'll probably wait
5:04
until the very last second but i guess in a way that is a sort of courage yeah
5:10
omg ninja is getting a fortnight skin no i'm not talking about that oh just
5:14
kidding that's not a story oh good even more leaks are revealing more details
5:18
about the upcoming samsung galaxy s20 this time courtesy of xda developers the
5:23
phone will apparently feature a 120 hertz screen 12 or 16 gigs of RAM
5:29
a 4500 milliamp hour battery and of course
5:32
no headphone jack i think we'll always continue to say
5:36
that devices have no headphone jack even when it's vanished off the face of the
5:39
earth because that's that's how we roll and the us
5:43
government is once again pressuring apple to provide a way to unlock the
5:46
iphones of mass shooters apple says they have been helping the fbi by providing
5:50
icloud data that was backed up before the phone was locked but the feds appear
5:54
to be asking for an unlocking tool so they could just access the data
5:58
themselves so far apple has
6:01
not agreed to do that and the tweets
6:04
don't seem to be really making much of a difference because
6:09
why would they yeah you know keep at it if doing something over and over again
6:13
doesn't work just keep doing it that's what i say just like the tech news we'll
6:17
be back to you with more tech news on friday yeah we will right
6:21
we will definitely
