[0.36] Wow. [0.99]
[1.18] I, [1.94]
[2.88] I'm sorry. [3.3]
[3.3] I love the way you do that. [4.92]
[4.92] It's just, [5.28]
[5.28] just a little tap [7.1]
[7.1] and now we're here together. [9.56]
[9.82] Here, [10.06]
[10.76] I got you some tech news. [12.02]
[12.58] AMD has delayed the launch [14.34]
[14.34] of its highly anticipated Ryzen 9000 series [17.78]
[17.78] after discovering that the initial wave of processors [20.64]
[20.64] shipped to retailers did not meet their full quality expectations. [24.99]
[25.1] Perhaps because Intel and AMD [26.5]
[26.5] went to the same party [27.76]
[27.76] and caught something. [28.78]
[28.78] Was there something in the punch? [30.28]
[30.28] What's happening? [30.96]
[31.32] Instead of launching altogether on July 31st, [34.2]
[34.2] the chips will arrive gradually, [36.16]
[36.16] starting with the 9600X and 9700X on August 8th, [39.99]
[40.24] followed by the Ryzen 9s, [41.8]
[41.8] the 9900X and 9950X on the 15th. [45.26]
[45.56] The delay follows Intel finally identifying [48.64]
[48.64] a microcode error as the cause of widespread instability [52.38]
[52.38] in its 13th and 14th gen chips. [54.7]
[54.7] A patch is coming, [55.68]
[55.68] also in mid August, [57.54]
[57.54] but while it will prevent future instability, [59.56]
[60.0] Intel has confirmed it won't repair processors already damaged by the bug. [65.16]
[65.16] So they've promised to replace the Borked chips for free. [68.22]
[68.7] They shall board the gray ships [70.54]
[71.26] and pass into Valinor for their time has ended. [74.36]
[74.86] Sorry it was so shitty. [76.2]
[76.2] The exact extent of the issue is hard to determine, [78.84]
[78.84] but an anonymous European PC parts retailer told French news site, Les Numériques, [84.24]
[84.24] that 13th gen Intel chips had a return rate [87.56]
[87.74] four times higher than 12th gen chips, [90.24]
[90.6] which would be around [91.32]
[91.74] 4 to 5%. [92.56]
[92.56] And that sounds low, [93.52]
[93.52] but that's nearly one in 20 of these Intel CPUs being secretly Borked. [98.68]
[98.9] That's a gamble I'd rather not take. [100.44]
[100.7] So hopefully team blue and team red, [103.12]
[103.12] remember how to release CPUs that don't blow up. [105.76]
[106.12] The rumors about OpenAI working on a search engine were true. [109.66]
[109.66] Yesterday, the company officially announced SearchGPT, [112.98]
[112.98] a temporary prototype of new AI search features [116.92]
[117.54] that will be integrated into ChatGPT at some point. [120.48]
[120.48] What a terrible name. [121.26]
[121.84] Well, let me just SearchGPT that. [123.78]
[124.14] OpenAI didn't say, [125.26]
[125.26] but it's likely that SearchGPT hooks into Bing's search index in some way. [130.42]
[130.82] Although they did say the prototype prominently links to content publishers, [134.96]
[134.96] many of whom have made deals with OpenAI, like the Atlantic. [138.22]
[138.7] So now SearchGPT can avoid legal trouble [141.47]
[141.47] when it links to the Atlantic's article [143.59]
[143.59] about how SearchGPT returned inaccurate results in its demo video. [147.2]
[147.7] Demo errors for AI products are tradition at this point. [150.16]
[150.16] It's part of the charm. [150.86]
[151.38] These kinds of content partnership deals may be the future of how the internet works, [155.36]
[155.66] even if lots of AI companies haven't quite got the memo yet. [159.14]
[159.5] 404 Media reported that Runway trained its AI video tools by scraping pirated movies, [165.52]
[165.68] as well as thousands of YouTube videos from popular creators, [168.58]
[169.06] including beardless tech gnome, Linus Tech Tip Sebastian. [172.14]
[172.56] Meanwhile, Anthropix Web Crawler is hitting some websites a million times a day, [177.52]
[177.7] according to iFixit's CEO, [179.1]
[179.1] and Twitter slash X just quietly opted every user [182.49]
[182.49] in to allowing the Grok chatbot to be trained on their posts. [186.49]
[186.86] You can opt out in the settings, [188.04]
[188.04] but Twitter might not be able to opt out [189.82]
[189.82] if the EU fines them for breaching their privacy laws. [192.76]
[193.08] We went on a bit of a tangent there. [194.44]
[195.0] Now I'm going to talk about motherboards. [196.36]
[196.88] Hundreds of computer devices sold by popular brands [199.44]
[199.44] like Dell, HP, Supermicro, [201.52]
[201.52] and Intel have had their secure boot protection compromised. [205.62]
[205.62] For those unaware, secure boot is meant [207.54]
[207.54] to prevent malware from infecting your device's BIOS [210.66]
[210.66] and effectively becoming undetectable and unremovable. [213.92]
[213.92] Unfortunately, [214.58]
[214.58] security research firm Binerly [216.6]
[216.6] discovered that several OEMs haven't been replacing the secure boot master key [222.26]
[222.26] generated by BIOS vendors like American Megatrends. [225.0]
[225.32] Not only do 215 device models share the same master key, [230.46]
[231.02] but that key was also published in a public GitHub repository two years ago. [235.4]
[235.56] Imagine that someone dropped a key on a computer [237.52]
[237.52] and it was a busy parking lot, [239.1]
[239.1] and now anyone that finds [240.04]
[240.04] it has access to your entire apartment complex, [242.24]
[242.4] the complex next door, and also somehow the diary you've kept since middle school. [245.99]
[246.04] I have so many fearful feelings, [247.52]
[247.52] but where do I write them safely? [248.68]
[249.96] Windows didn't really need another security hiccup right now. [253.5]
[253.82] Microsoft is currently considering restricting access to the Windows kernel [257.52]
[257.52] after a bugged update from cybersecurity company CrowdStrike caused a global IT outage a week ago. [263.36]
[263.92] CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz has claimed that [266.44]
[266.54] over 97% of systems crashed by the update have been fixed, [270.48]
[270.88] but that means around 250,000 devices are still down. [275.3]
[275.3] Come on, guys. [276.9]
[278.05] You're embarrassing me in front of the Linux community. [280.5]
[280.5] Who's me there? [281.5]
[281.56] Am I Windows? [282.99]
[283.12] No. [283.78]
[283.78] Am I you? [284.68]
[284.68] You're a Windows user. [285.88]
[285.88] Who are you? [286.77]
[286.77] Where am I? [287.48]
[287.48] I'm Jacob. [288.2]
[288.38] 广告 [319.6]
[319.78] Gah. [320.22]
[320.66] I have some bad news. [321.56]
[321.72] Sadly, one of the QuickBits got out of its cage, [324.76]
[324.96] and we haven't been able to find it. [326.58]
[326.6] If you see it, tell him Papa misses it very much. [329.2]
[329.84] Samsung has decided to make it harder to sideload Android apps. [333.5]
[333.74] The auto-blocker feature on Galaxy phones has been updated [337.37]
[337.37] to prevent downloading apps from unauthorized sources and is now set to on by default in new devices, [343.7]
[343.7] although it can be turned off in your device settings. [346.08]
[346.24] Still, this decision to block sideloading by default didn't sit right with Epic Games, [351.48]
[351.48] who announced it will be pulling Fortnite and its other titles from the Galaxy store in protest. [356.64]
[356.64] Frankly, [357.34]
[357.54] I'm shocked that you can download apps from the Galaxy store. [361.92]
[361.92] I thought it was just there for decoration, [363.34]
[363.72] art on the wall. [364.46]
[365.06] Pretty much every detail about Google's upcoming Pixel 9 series [368.8]
[368.8] has leaked in what I'm pretty sure is an annual tradition at this point. [372.32]
[372.64] Included in the leaks are details about the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, [376.24]
[376.74] which will feature a larger screen than the original Fold. [379.58]
[380.0] The 9 series will also introduce new AI features like Pixel Screenshots, [383.9]
[384.36] which is described as a watered-down Microsoft Recall [387.86]
[387.86] Yay. [388.26]
[388.86] There's also an Add Me feature that allows you to easily add yourself to a photo you've taken. [394.58]
[394.58] Finally, you'll never have to muster up the courage to ask a stranger [398.22]
[398.22] to take a picture of you and your friends ever again. [400.38]
[401.2] Don't talk to them. [401.98]
[401.98] They're weird. [402.54]
[402.96] A new Windows 11 feature will let you wirelessly browse your [406.41]
[406.41] Android phone's files directly within Windows File Explorer. [409.86]
[410.24] It doesn't work for iPhones, though, probably because Tim Cook said no. [413.9]
[413.9] Like this. [414.82]
[415.0] No. [415.95]
[418.85] Please, hold your applause. [419.7]
[419.92] The feature is available to Windows insiders, [422.3]
[422.3] but does have some issues when deleting phone files through your PC. [426.16]
[426.32] Specifically, doing so moves the files to a new recycle bin folder on your phone, [431.86]
[432.16] where they remain for five days. [434.5]
[434.66] Microsoft is confusingly trying to increase this length of time to 30 days when I wanted to keep it for zero days. [441.88]
[442.08] I deleted it, but okay. [443.6]
[443.6] And NASA successfully used laser beams to stream 4K video to space and back. [449.95]
[450.18] This is massive news for the astronauts aboard the ISS, [453.6]
[453.82] because they still haven't seen Oppenheimer. [455.5]
[455.62] Seriously, though, the new laser technology allows for 10 to 100 times faster data transmission [461.05]
[461.05] than the radio waves NASA has been using for decades, [463.8]
[464.22] meaning scientific data can be transmitted more quickly. [467.6]
[468.02] And it only mostly looks like a Death Star-style super weapon. [471.22]
[471.38] Just a little bit. [473.46]
[473.46] But it's harmless, we think. [474.99]
[474.99] However, if an alien spaceship arrives and starting causing problems, I don't know, we'll see what happens [480.0]
[480.0] It's a lazer. [481.64]
[485.24] Hey, Klaxians, you're gonna love these DVDs. [487.56]
[487.56] Check them out. [488.1]
[488.1] And you should see what happens when you come back to this channel on Monday. [491.7]
[491.7] Spoiler alert! [492.8]
[493.8] You'll get more tech news. [494.54]
[494.74] Shh! [494.94]
[495.16] Secret. [495.78]
