nice job huawei sometimes i feel bad for the chinese
0:13
tech giant like all they want to do is roll out 5g technology to everybody why
0:17
is the us and australia and europe treating them like they're spying for the chinese government and then huawei
0:22
goes and spies on apple allegedly a
0:25
report from the information.com details first-person accounts of huawei
0:30
attempting to steal and reverse engineer the design for the heart rate sensor
0:34
used in the apple watch a number of manufacturers reportedly refused to
0:38
manufacture the part for huawei because they recognized the component another
0:42
story involves a former apple employee being repeatedly asked about upcoming
0:45
apple products and features while interviewing for a job at huawei now
0:50
some might hear news like this and think hey that's just business okay
0:54
that's just how it goes others might ask
0:57
why why why
1:01
the world is about to see a lot of folding and bendable devices and tcl is
1:06
looking to get ahead of the curve by patenting a bending phone that can roll
1:10
up around your wrist like those slap bracelets did you ever did you ever have
1:13
one of those dennis the slap no the ones were like oh yes yeah
1:18
there i knew it slap bracelets
1:22
no tcl a company known for making displays
1:26
smartphones and tvs actually patented four other folding designs as well that
1:30
look more like the other concepts that we've seen from samsung xiaomi and
1:34
others the phone bracelet design stands out a little maybe that's because it
1:38
looks very similar to lenovo's concept phone from 2016. i don't know i think
1:42
i'd prefer to just wear a smartwatch or to just like embed the phone in my
1:46
actual skin or something you know something simple and this isn't exactly
1:49
tech news but i've been following the hype around bioware's anthem throughout
1:53
its development and now that the game is out for some people who bought it anyway
1:58
i can truly let myself feel the disappointment reviews are saying the
2:02
game has some really cool elements like the first few hours of combat and flying
2:06
are fun but the game feels like it was designed by executives who tried to tick
2:10
off all the boxes for game features they think the kids like nowadays if you
2:14
don't want to be thrust into the game's final mission long before you're ready
2:17
stay away from quick play and the story the main reason i was even excited for
2:22
this game is apparently a thin shadow of the quality found in mass effect and
2:27
dragon age and if you don't want to miss important cutscenes or dialogue thanks
2:30
to the game's ubiquitous loading screens forbes even recommends playing it solo
2:37
what did you do to bioware ea what did you do but people also said
2:42
stuff like this about destiny 2 when it came out so i don't know we'll see what happens it's time for quick bits brought

day a little smarter huh what's that no
3:25
i can't i'm busy doing quick bits NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce gtx 1660 ti
3:30
has been spotted in results from the final fantasy 15 benchmark which always
3:34
seems to come up before a major GPU launches the new card's performance is
3:38
apparently better than the gtx 1070 and only just slightly behind the gtx titan
3:44
x although that is the maxwell titan x from four years ago still if the 1660 ti
3:49
launches at its rumored price of 279 u.s
3:53
it would be a heck of a value i sincerely doubt that will be the price
3:58
though team green loves its green a little too much you get that green
4:03
loves it team team green they love the benjamins call
4:07
it a sign of the times samsung has said it will stop production of 1080p and 4k
4:12
blu-ray players in the u.s following similar news from oppo previous reports
4:17
that said samsung was making a new high-end 4k blu-ray player for 2019 but
4:21
that has since been scrapped and so begins the long slow death of discs
4:27
i might be wrong but at the same time you can't very well
4:30
play frisbee with a netflix subscription to my
4:34
discs an fcc filing shows that motorola's upcoming 5g moto mod
4:38
attachment for the moto z3 has sensors other phones have sensors the
4:43
moto z3 has sensors they're to detect whether your fingers are covering the
4:47
device's millimeter wave antenna if it detects your digits it will disable the
4:52
module that's being blocked to prevent radiation exposure except
4:57
all 5g devices are supposed to operate within
5:00
acceptable radiation limits so
5:04
why do we need this i've been following the development of the smok z handheld Windows gaming
5:09
system for a time and a new set of videos now show that the device is
5:13
coming along the demos show the smoxy playing starcraft 2 left 4 dead and
5:18
other games pretty well it's taken them years but at least they're spending more
5:21
time on the product itself than they apparently spent on the name
5:25
smock really and microsoft knows it
5:28
screwed up the Windows 10 october update now it wants to get ahead of any
5:32
problems that might come up for future updates and i mean the future microsoft
5:37
is currently testing a Windows 10 build slated for a 2020 release so if there's
5:42
still bugs by the time that comes out i might be tempted to switch to macOS
5:48
no no and now i'm tempted to end this episode
5:52
and i must give in to temptation unfortunately
5:56
because it's over thanks for watching guys and come back on wednesday for more
5:59

6:04
