friday's here and if you were looking forward to the Windows 10 october update
0:04
hitting your pc this weekend because you've got frankly nothing better going
0:09
on you may want to take pause because a
0:12
pretty major issue has been discovered the update is apparently randomly
0:17
deleting users personal files according
0:20
to several reports now some folks say that they've simply
0:24
had personal data directories like the documents folder shunted over to a
0:28
separate drive or a different folder or
0:31
for some reason the recycle bin but others are saying they've had files
0:35
outright deleted with one user posting to the microsoft community website
0:40
claiming that 23 years worth of files
0:44
220 gigabytes have vanished without a
0:47
trace can you hold this for me i wasn't going to read that stuff anyway although
0:50
microsoft says it's investigating the reports there's no word yet on when a
0:55
fix might be coming so in the meantime back up your data just in case like
1:00
clippy's gone rogue and we're all in for it apple has long
1:05
been notorious for having products that have been difficult to repair unless you
1:09
send your busted iphone or imac or
1:12
i-router or whatever it is back to apple itself or to an authorized service
1:17
provider but they've taken things one step
1:20
further recently according to reports as a new security chip called the t2 which
1:25
is present on the 2018 versions of the macbook pro and the imac pro
1:30
actually totally locks down the system
1:33
if an unauthorized repair is even attempted
1:37
so users won't be able to get back into their max until a proprietary apple
1:42
software utility is run to restore functionality meaning you have to take
1:46
the system directly to apple or to an authorized repair shop anyway it appears
1:51
that most attempts at hardware replacement will trigger a system
1:54
lockdown including trying to replace the logic board the display storage or even
2:00
human interface devices like the keyboard or touchpad hey but it's easy
2:05
to use yeah nintendo would probably be none too happy by the way if you have a
2:09
game boy emulator on your phone but in the near future this might no longer be
2:13
necessary as nintendo has filed a patent for a smartphone case that looks almost
2:19
exactly like the popular handheld console of yesterday
2:25
i guess no one let them know those have existed for a while now this case though
2:29
is different it's folio style so it has an outer flap that folds over and
2:34
features a screen cutout a directional pad two main buttons and select and
2:39
start buttons along with a conductive material that lines the inside so that a
2:44
smartphone screen would register these button presses nintendo hasn't announced
2:49
any app support for the case yet and the patent strictly stuck to describing the
2:54
case itself with no mention of accompanying software but it does appear
2:57
as though nintendo is trying to offer another way for gamers to enjoy the
3:01
classics if they don't want to plunk down money for a switch what are we talking about switch doesn't even have a
3:05
classic classic games now it's time for quick
3:09
bits brought to you by private internet access vpn
3:12
pi8 since when they just announced with the
3:15
online really oh wow that's sort of cool
3:20
i mean it's nintendo so it's like it's like
3:24
here's something like kind of cool we're going to take it oh no maybe we'll give it back to you
3:28
p-i-a supports a variety of vpn protocols and types of encryption and
3:32
authentication allowing you to dial in the exact level privacy protection you
3:35
need they've got apps for Windows macOS Android iOS Linux and google chrome with
3:39
support for other platforms coming soon and you can use up to five devices at
3:44
the same time pia is inexpensive and
3:47

3:50
description now if you've been waiting around for your rtx 2080 ti NVIDIA has
3:55
finally provided an update on where the heck they all are wisconsin what are
4:00

4:17
news for you is you won't have to wait around for the Windows 10 updates that
4:20
support ray tracing once you do get your card but you might just lose all your
4:24
files big news came out the other day
4:28
indicating china has been putting tiny
4:31
microchips into servers affecting as many as 30 us companies and compromising
4:36
their security now although amazon and apple were among the firms named both
4:41
companies have strongly denied that they had been affected regardless on the
4:46
heels of what happened with zte you can be sure that the u.s authorities are
4:51
going to be none too pleased either way though apparently they've known about
4:55
this for quite some time now
4:59
what else do they know what we know is that although it's been
5:03
long rumored AMD has finally confirmed that chips based on the seven nanometer
5:08
process will be shown off at the 2019 consumer electronics show in las vegas
5:13
coming up in january AMD is hoping that the new chips can put
5:17
a dent into Intel's massive market share lead as Intel has been having problems
5:22
moving off the 14 nanometer process for quite some time
5:26
the original nintendo switch has could your job just be could you be replaced
5:31
by just one of those like sound boards yes yes
5:35
the original nintendo switch has proved to be quite popular but wanting to keep
5:39
the hype train chugging along it appears nintendo will be releasing a second
5:43
updated version of the switch sometime in 2019. it's a phone case details on
5:48
what the new console will look like are slim at this point but it does look like
5:53
it could be getting a better lcd display that will be both brighter and more
5:56
power efficient to extend the switch's relatively poor battery life
6:01
and do you remember the national park from pokemon gold and silver well if
6:05
you're a pokemon go player capturing pokemon in a national park could soon be
6:09

6:41
child that you know is like shiny and
6:45
space-age looking but then just takes forever to get anywhere can barely move
6:49

6:56
