The Appeal of Like-Watching a Competition: A Discussion on Sports Fanaticism and Esports

There's something entertaining about watching a competition, whether it's football, basketball, DOTA, or any other type of game. We can appreciate the skill and athleticism of professional athletes, even if we don't follow their respective sports. For example, I'll watch a football game and be impressed by the players' physical abilities, or I'll watch a basketball game and be in awe of their speed and agility. Similarly, I'll watch DOTA and think, "Wow, that's impressive!" Even though my interest may not run deep, I can respect the skill and dedication required to compete at a high level.

However, when it comes to fans and players taking things too far, that's where the line gets blurred. Some people take their love for sports to an extreme, using it as a way to express themselves or connect with others. While this can be entertaining, it can also become problematic. For instance, some fans might use their fandom as a way to mock or belittle others who don't share their interest in the sport. This behavior is not only annoying but also reflects poorly on the fans themselves.

Apple's Involvement in Esports

I was discussing with someone that Apple seems to prefer Esports over other types of competition. While it may be true that Apple has made significant investments in the gaming industry, this isn't necessarily because they're pro-Esports specifically. It's more likely that they're interested in creating a platform for gamers and Esports enthusiasts to enjoy high-quality gaming experiences on their devices.

The recent release of the iMac with a dedicated graphics card is an example of Apple's commitment to providing powerful hardware for gaming. This move aims to attract professional gamers and Esports teams who require top-notch equipment to compete at the highest level. While it's possible that some fans might prefer alternative platforms like Hackintosh, which involves building custom gaming PCs using Mac hardware, this isn't a viable option for most people.

The Dark Side of Fan Culture

Recently, we learned about the death of Pepe the Frog, a cartoon character that was once banned from the Apple App Store. This news sparked a heated debate about free speech and artistic expression. Some developers created apps featuring Pepe as a way to poke fun at his history as a symbol of internet memes. However, the Pepe character has also been associated with hate groups and extremist ideologies, which led Apple to ban the apps.

This incident highlights the challenges faced by creators when trying to push boundaries in their work while avoiding offending others. While some might argue that Pepe's portrayal is meant as satire or humor, others see it as a symbol of racism and extremism. This raises questions about what constitutes acceptable content and who gets to decide. The situation with Pepe serves as a reminder that online platforms must balance artistic freedom with the need to prevent hate speech and other forms of toxic behavior.

The Power of Community

Forchan, a popular community-driven platform, has been at the center of some controversy in recent times. Some fans have called out Forchan for promoting hate and extremist ideologies, using Pepe as an example. However, it's essential to recognize that Pepe was originally created as a joke and not intended to be taken seriously.

If we want to create a more positive online community, we need to encourage creativity, humor, and satire. This can involve embracing alternative perspectives and engaging with others who might have different opinions or interests. By doing so, we can foster a more inclusive and supportive environment that allows for free expression and debate without resorting to hate speech or extremist ideologies.

The Future of Esports and Gaming

As Esports continues to grow in popularity, it's likely that new platforms and innovations will emerge. With the rise of streaming services like Twitch and YouTube, gamers can now share their experiences with a wider audience. However, the pressure to create content and maintain a competitive edge can be intense.

Some developers are exploring alternative ways to monetize their games, such as through subscriptions or in-game purchases. Others might focus on creating more realistic gameplay experiences that cater to casual players. The future of Esports will depend on these innovations and how they shape the gaming industry as a whole.

The Impact of Apple's App Store Policies

Apple has recently revised its app review policies to ensure that apps asking for ratings are transparent about their methods. This change aims to prevent apps from manipulating user reviews to artificially inflate their ratings. However, some developers have expressed concerns about this new policy, arguing that it limits their creative freedom.

The revision of the App Store's guidelines is just one example of how Apple is pushing to maintain a fair and balanced environment for all app developers. By implementing strict policies, they aim to prevent toxic behavior and promote high-quality apps that provide value to users. While some might see this as restrictive, it's essential to recognize the importance of maintaining standards in online communities.

Conclusion

The world of Esports is rapidly expanding, with new platforms and innovations emerging every day. As we navigate the complexities of fan culture and artistic expression, it's crucial to find a balance between creativity and responsibility. By embracing satire, humor, and alternative perspectives, we can create a more inclusive and supportive online community that encourages free expression and debate.

In conclusion, while sports fanaticism and Esports might not be everyone's cup of tea, they do offer unique opportunities for entertainment, skill-building, and social connection. As the gaming industry continues to evolve, it's essential to prioritize inclusivity, creativity, and responsible behavior.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: entoday is Tuesday June 13th and we have an announcement due to pressure from the level one shareholders today's broadcast will not be referred to as news today's broadcast will simply be an information matter H this is because of all the corrections I think it play the fifth did you leak the memo yourself you leak the memo yourself you you all along uh moving right along uh no you know no horrible disaster I mean you can't like so okay some things happened and uh you know I was a terroristic attack but the British prime minister Jesus there it's like oh let's go after a ban on encryption because of the terrorists using encryption wait yeah so well this is an old story we already covered this cuz this happen last Saturday and uh we talked about it but the thing about this story is that she got reelected so all of the like oh God is this going to happen yes it is going to happen now they're going after the internet they are not backing down on this rhetoric that encryption is the problem so if you're in the UK get ready yeah you probably I mean I don't know what to do to tell you to it's just like the dest thing in the world it's like I mean this is you know it's like the movie Idiocracy when the corporations convince the world that brondo is better than water because brondo has got electrolytes this is like that but the encryption version of that it's it's got what terrorists crave it definitely apparently does have what terrorists crave so another feature of that the one of the other heads of that Hydra is that they want faster access to your information not only do they want your information but it's taken way too long for them to get your information so they need access to every computer everywhere this is what this is going to lead to but for right now it is oh the EU asks to expedite police requests for Tech firms so Google Microsoft things like that they basically want to be plugged in directly to those companies infrastructure to be able to do their own searching impu Lively and they want to do it across the internal borders so it doesn't matter which country this happened in any other country should be able to go directly to the company without discussing it with that government and get whatever they need that's what they want here yeah it's like oh should we not have searched all the citizens data oh well too late we already did H guess it's fine yeah so you don't even know as the leader of your country you don't even know when your citizens are being spyed on but in turn you can spy on anybody else so it's totally fair right I I I really have a pro like the overall trend of this we need to come up with a word for this because it's it's it's a trend of if you don't know your rights have been violated then your rights have not been violated and I don't subscribe to that well there was that uh when the NSA thing first happened or maybe it was one of the FBI things someone tried to sue them and their argument in court was you were not allowed to sue us because technically you should have not have known that we did this I don't we reported on that a couple of weeks ago that is that is that has been that is at the upper echelons of the court system now and they may actually get to hear that we don't know but it'll be interesting well here in America we've got our own problems and our spy Chief has uh said he's not going to say how many Americans were caught in NSA surveillance hint all of them now previously he did when he was Under Fire for this whole thing it was like all right look I'm want to tell you who it was calm down and then you know the short memory and the short outrage span of America it's like all right let them calm down we're definitely not doing that and the reason they're giving is insane it's like okay it's going to take a lot of effort to do this and in order to do it we'd have to take effort away from stopping the terrorists and we cannot do that and also what if us finding out who they were somehow exposes who they were and it gets out it's like you're worried about their privacy so you can't tell us you spied on them uh I don't know the M the mine really reals here the the type of mental gymnastics I mean it's just the only fix here is for us to educate you guys on how technology actually works in hopes that there will be a balance of citizens that really understand how technology works and can see through all the BS from the politicians and then in turn whenever you get to the labor camp you spread that information to the others in the labor camp for the eventual Insurrection cuz it's going to get that's where it's going to go speaking of things unexpectedly sending you to the labor camp uh invisible yellow dots on printouts what what's going on with that now this is about uh re reality winter reality winter yes you've heard of I don't think we covered reality winner that happened in like a weird time cuz we had to record the news early one week uh but real winter was the latest Snowden essentially she leaked she's been arrested we don't know she leaked some documents well no they know that she leaked the documents cuz that's what I got her caught h i mean well but so I mean okay yeah probably very likely the case but you know maybe she just printed something and put it in the trash and it wasn't shredded properly and so she's been like she to it okay yeah damn it but what happened I think it was The Intercept what was the paper yeah The Intercept accidentally leaked the well they asked for proof and The Intercept was like well here's a page explain that and they're like oh we'll take this thank you now if you don't know every printer has a way of identifying itself on every page that it prints and uh it prints teeny tiny dots in yellow that include a date code in the serial number of the printer and that was enough information for the NSA to figure out who was using that printer at that time in order to figure out who printed the document so uh this uh this is you know unfortunate because uh you know whistleblower I mean this is this story is a microcosm of things that are wrong with like the whistleblowing thing in general but also shows you how little um you know journalistic like the intercept has a really good reputation but they have mishandled things from an information security standpoint and that is sad yeah I guess uh it's equally damning whether they didn't know that was a thing being someone who gets leaks from people whose name is The Intercept or if they didn't care now the act of putting these little yellow dots on your paper is called steganography which makes me think of a Stegosaurus writing very beautiful handwriting well technically steganography is just embedding information uh in in anything so there're steganography like you can have a JPEG and you can use the lower order bits of a JPEG and encode information and it's not really detectable unless you're look for it or when you take a picture with your iPhone it injects things that people can tell where that came from yeah oh your devices are spying on you in myriads and myriads of ways and most people don't even realize this is crazy oh and this technology how long has it been in Printers since 1997 sprinters have been able to print that small well it's a milestone week for technology the British police have used facial recognition to make an arrest for the first time now they've been monitoring faces for a while now I think they first uh rolled it out at some kind of concert or no it was uh maybe it was a sports event this was a soccer match a fairly large one so they did the usual you know if you go to one of these events your face is being recorded and they're running against the database of known criminals for the first time ever they actually caught somebody they saw him on the tape picked him up and arrested him this happened back in May but no one could report on it because it was an active investigation well now I guess he's been officially charged neat it's a it's a great day for technology everybody so yeah keep your head down it's only a matter of time before these things also apply to parking fines and God knows what else it's like oh your your wheelie curb for your trash was 6 Ines off the curb it's going to apply to tweets that are critical of the government well it's stacking the deck the other way AT&T and Direct TV are facing thousands of complaints linked to overcharging and promotions but senators are actually kind of investigating so there's a clause in their service agreement so when you sign up for these Services uh you enter into what's called a binding arbitration clause which means if you have a beef with them rather than immediately go to lawyers you have to go to a third party arbitration company hired by them hired by them yeah hired by by the company and it turns out that third party arbitration company doesn't really ever find for the consumer rules in their favor so this has to do with uh AT&T has a price lock in policy so it's like for two years it's guaranteed to be these price and people would be like hey it's not been two years and my price has doubled and they're like well that's your new price deal with it like the mafia yeah so the other thing that you agree to when you sign that contract is no class action you are not allowed to bring class action against them so really there's no way out you just pay more and if you say I'm not paying more I went out of this contract they have an early termination fee yeah enjoy your early termination fee pleb uh so this is being investigated but there's nothing actually that has gone wrong with this probably what will happen is AT&T now this sounds really cynical but this is probably what will happen AT&T will contribute to these Senators reelection funds and then the whole thing will just go away or it'll be like oh is that wrong should we not have done that it is technically legal yeah which is technically legal that's the state that we're in it is technically legal to break a contract as long as you let it put in the contract hey we're going to break this contract and there's nothing you can do about it yay the United corporations of America it's no wonder the citizenry of America is so disenfranchised I swear it's crazy uh the Supreme Court is going to settle a major uh cell phone privacy case uh this has to do with law enforcement basically spying on You by monitoring your like subpoenaing youit your bills or well not really subing just getting information about your cell phone without really going through due process yeah this uh the ones that or the one that is an actual like the the case that's going to decide this is location data so so they were they suspected a guy of burglarizing places so they went to his location data and he had been to all those places on that day or previous to those days probably staking them out and they said hm yeah this is our guy so he took it all the way to the Supreme Court saying you should not have known that you shouldn't be able to get this information about me without a warrant which they didn't have yeah no no warrant but you know that never really stops anybody no well the uh they didn't go don't have to go through a judge or anything they just went to the mobile company and they're like hey we need now like here you go now a couple of weeks ago we talked about the shadow Brokers and the information disclosure stuff and the Intel active management vulnerabilities in the Intel firmware um because those were used by the intelligence Community but it has been leaked on the internet and so now the bad guys are using those well it turns out there are some lingering remnants of that document leak and one of those is to be able to use an obscure feature of the active management uh technology to establish a serial connection to uh machines on your land because you can apparently do serial over land and you can use that for exfiltrating information um undetectably or not really undetectably but it flies so far under the radar of most you know malware and intrusion detection systems that hey this has been spotted in the wild this doesn't it's not really you wouldn't think of this as a traditional infection or malware because it's not like taking over your machine or anything like that it's just simply listening to what you do and send it somewhere yeah yeah you can have a piece of software running on a computer that is dumping information in this like serial Overland protocol and then have something else somewhere else picking that up and it basically flies under the radar I mean uh if you've got you know like a perimeter firewall or something like that it may be detected but any kind of firewall or monitoring on the actual individual machine so like say your server has firewall or intrusion detection software because this is happening outside the purview of the operating system it's not detectable from that Vantage Point yeah that's the terrible thing about that management engine you really have no control over it at whatsoever and it has full access to everything so if it were a printer this would be the yellow dots on the page that you didn't know was there at least you could like clip the borders off of your leak documents like cut it out and then just like use Pace isn't that what like Ransom people do yeah well they do the they get like a magazine and do the individual cuz the uh the fonts and stuff can give you away too got to be careful well in other news Mountain View California recently without power yeah you have this drone to thank for that or what's left of it it looks like at least he suffered for his crimes the Drone flew into a power transformer and knocked out power for 1,600 people this is uh now this guy was near an airport so it actually wasn't legal for him to be flying a drone there in the first place and they are looking for him I'm sure they'll find him but this could happen anywhere and this kind of thing it's very annoying and I'm sure it's expensive and he should be made to pay for the whatever he broke but I'm sure they're going to use this as a reason to be like hey we got to crack down on these drones we need licensing we need tracking that kind of thing pretty soon we're going to be licensing and tracking all kinds of squirrels and birds and things like that too because get those kamakazi squirrels that dive right into the Transformer got to license and track all those we need them all tagged we need them tracked by side ites at all times can you imagine it's your job to track and tag squirrels little tranquilizer gun what kind of world do we live in when we're tracking squirrels and and you know all all other kinds of rodentia just to make sure that they don't dive bomb into a Transformer I mean it's really not a lot different with the drones but okay whatever yeah well at least it doesn't seem like it was malicious I think this guy was just a crappy pilot yeah yeah yeah well of course of course we have to set up an entire you know new set of regulations and laws and things to address the idiocy of a handful of people although maybe just some netting above the Transformers you know something like that dope the wire so that it tastes bad for squirrels I don't know now we always talk about the internet of things and how The Internet of Things has already been co-opted by criminals and how uh you know I don't know the baby monitor in Minnesota is dosing somebody in the Middle East or something well it turns out some of those internet cameras have passwords that cannot be changed this is what did you call the the Chinese nephew who's doing all the software for these can't remember hung Su or something like that this is this is definitely the work of hungu I don't it's this is not malicious this is just Chinese manufacturers are looking to make these as cheaply as possible and on the hardware end they're getting the lowest of the the cheapest contractor they can find so I I don't think it's that you know it's like we we're going to use these for a botn net and the Americans will bombb and then we'll control them no it's just they didn't know what they were doing exactly and it was easy to it's the password is blank by the way it's hard-coded as blank and you can't change it why would you put a password field why not just leave it out it was probably burned into the ROM or something yeah probably so yeah you can you can get into these cameras with this password field and then there's another vulnerability that let you escalate that to give you more permission what really happened was uh he sng you know his uncle had a warehouse full of electronics that had never been sold and when he Incorporated these he discovered that there was only about as much CPU as a speaking spell and so of course encrypting the password was just not an option with those CPUs so that's why we have the blank password field uh it says the names of the cameras with the opticam HD so if you got an opticam HD people are watching yeah don't don't put it on the internet for God's sakes don't put it on the internet that's just really really terrible uh I wanted to think of a really clever intro for the next news story something about being toxic or oh how about oops the Russians did it again oops the Russians did it again the Russian malware the the command and control structure is apparently Britney Spear's Instagram page this is not a joke like the jok's right themselves here this is not a joke so if you're a Russian malware maker what you have to worry about is people tracking You Down based on the command and control server right cuz your malware has to call home find out what to do next you've got thousands of devices participating in your botn net how do you control thousands of devices without giving away your position so the idea is you need a rolling moving command and control server it has to move constantly but then how do you update the devices that it's moved without sending the address to the devices which could get you caught well the answer is of course Britney Spear's Instagram literally the most toxic Instagram on the internet so they used characters and the devices new to look at Britney Spear's Instagram they were monitoring her Instagram at all times and when they would find a comment that contained these characters then certain parts of that comment could be put together and deconstructed to be the location of the new server that's amazing it's very clever that's really amazing and this is exactly the kind of thing that Teresa may wants to Outlaw so I gu I guess we would have her than for that yeah I mean you know well but that's not encrypted I mean it's kind of encrypted but it's not it's a cipher I mean you know well but there's no they're never going to catch that it's not traditional we've definitely seen law enforcement twist the definitions of things well past that I'm pretty sure that this encoding mechanism even I mean it's it's it's not quite even as as sophisticated as rot 13 but I am sure that they would tack on a charge of you know using Outlaw encryption if they if they you know Teresa May's vision of this comes to life can you imagine them like you know Britney Spears in a little interrogation here like what you when was the last time you were in Russia oh you know the scary thing though is in America if she wasn't Britney Spears like if she was just some randomly selected person on Instagram you know they would have her in GMO for the next five years trying to figure it out I mean she's just she's she's fortunate in that no one would believe that she's any kind of like Russian malware Kingpin although W that would be delightful maybe that's what she wants us to believe now I might believe Taylor Swift is some sort of information security Kingpin but Britney Spears no I don't think so and I've got an idea for my next novelty Twitter account uh Spears on malware yes Spears on malware what's happening uh this is really neat malware is using router LEDs to steal data from secure networks this is a little bit of a false headline a little bit of fake news this is actually just security researchers like I wonder if we could do that and they could so it is possible to use the LEDs on your router to air gap information to a camera there is actually uh there is a a story um that may have inspired the researchers from this uh there was something uh there was a story about um some data exfiltration a long time ago they used like a a telescope and some other stuff I think it was a hard drive indicator right yeah yeah and was like an old old and it was so slow it's really slow we're talking like 300 400 kilobytes per second but you could actually get the information You Could reconstruct the data stream from the LED like that was a feature of really ancient computers and apparently during the Cold War America exfiltrated data that way using a telescope I think they use that as their you know it's like wow if they can do that imagine what we can do with a bunch of LEDs so the big Enterprise grade switches and routers and stuff which have tons and tons of Lights you can get pretty good speed from those yeah just flash modified firmware on there and then you're good to go it's it's not the computers that are a danger to our our information freedoms it's the computers within the computers that are the danger well Switching gears a little bit Tesla is going to deploy uh upgraded superchargers that actually disconnect from the grid and are running off of solar and their Battery Technology yeah that so they they've always talked about doing this but it's like people are like why would you do that why not just I mean because a lot of places you can make money you can feed back into the grid with your why would you do that once the battery's full well it turns out the reason is because somebody criticized musk for because when you get right down to it electric power that they're using is coming from coal in like 80% of the places so it's not really all that clean and beautiful so he was wounded by that and he was like we'll just do Sol lat the sad thing is it probably wasn't an Internet troll or a YouTube commenter that did that it was probably some politician or like the president's Aid or something and he was just like my God you're so dumb let's all right all right I'll bite I'll go with that because those are really the best kind of trolls the trolls that don't realize that they're trolls those are the ultimate trolls turns out though you can't do this in snowy places so I'm really surprised by that because I would think that the snow would be a natural solar reflector and you could just yeah but the panels are just on top so you have to put panels under the under theow I don't know if you could do that or put panels in the sky above the it might also be a matter of them being covered up oh yeah and then you have to deal with I'm sure you could come up with a little squeegee robot that would roll around H well speaking you know we would not it would not be the news if we did not have a story about people being replaced with technology this story comes to us from Boeing Boeing is looking at replacing uh Pilots of aircraft with entirely automated aircraft now this is uh this is you know something they're just starting on so don't if you're like freaking out like wait what no no not robot planes that's a terrible idea they yeah they're they're not really rolling them out anytime soon they're just thinking like what if what if we could do that now the critics have said what about like you know the guy that landed the plane in the Hudson River like could a robot even think to do that that's a lot of people are like no you need to pile it because sometimes crazy decisions have to be made and you know if somebody's kicking the door of the cockpit in and they're going to smash the AI the AI can't shoot them so or can it yeah well this is how Skynet was born it's like we gave Johnny cab a gun well yeah we gave it a gun to keep people out of the cockpit so that it could Ram its plane wherever it wanted to Ram its plane uh maybe this maybe this is not such a good idea idea call me a l ey well what about cargo ships those would be safer right Japan is going to launch self-navigating cargo ships by 2025 I can't think of a good reason not to do cargo ships I mean because you don't have any human passengers the worst thing that can happen is you know millions of dollars of stuff gets lost in the sea but that happens anyway sometimes and uh yeah that sounds great they are they really are working on this so they're saying 2025 you will have your first Skeleton Crew robot cargo ship But ultimately the goal is no humans on board so Captain Johnny cab is bad but uh Johnny cab on a boat is still still be a captain Oh I guess he's still a captain but he doesn't have the wings there's no wings they could give him a little digital set huh that's interesting Johnny oops UPS yeah that'll be good yeah that's uh yeah self-navigating ships I'm sure that'll save a lot of money and Destroy some economies H well one US insurer has decided that Tesla uh needs to pay like people that own Teslas need to pay higher than average premiums because of they're higher than average claim rates yeah this is uh so there's a funny thing in this article I didn't realize but high-end cars have an 18% higher accident rate than middle of the road cars did you know that no I didn't realize that and it's like I wonder why cuz they're usually built better but I think it's entitlement you know like that whole uh you know Mercedes drivers don't use their interet signal that's been true and my observation have you noticed that so I think these Tesla are just like yeah the laws don't apply to me and they wreck their cars a lot so AAA saying you're going to pay more I was doing some searches for this and um I found a couple of forum posts from the people that do body work apparently because people were trying to have you know sort of non dealer people service the the body on their Teslas but apparently whatever the body is made out of is really hard to service when you get Vents and things like that in certain places and it can cost you know 20 $30,000 to top box it is probably a 10 or 15y old piece of technology the menu interface is horrible and clunky there are probably ads the television shows you can watch are not index properly the search function is a joke you can't really do anything you know like a TV remote control is a horrible user interface it's like we have computers now the computers for searching and finding and playing back digital content is like akin to when TVs had like an analog knob and you'd have to like fiddle with the knob and then there was like another Knob outside that knob where you'd have to like dial in the channel just the right way because it was like you know slightly out of frequency or being reflected off a Barnes roof or something do you uh do you remember now this is going to date us horrible do you remember those first remote controls where they had a tether yeah the tether and they had individual switches for every channel and when like when they upgraded yeah when they upgraded the TV service to have more channels than you had switches nothing you can do well now I got one that had a rocker switch on the side and so like you would rock this You' Rock the rocker switch and push the button and then you rock so we didn't have that kind of black magic we just had I think ours had 15 maybe so this is like trying to you know mandate that this this uh this industry continue to live because you know we need to ban the production of infrared LEDs and receivers because the people that make that tether wire are going to be out of a job now they talked one of the really telling things about this article is this guy is the uh uh head of the CEO of the American cable Association that's a Lobby group so I mean if there's anybody who's going to try to downplay Cable dying it's this guy because he doesn't want to tell you that he's telling you that you know it's really bad what he said was this is why Broadband is so important to our business model so controlling Broadband exactly so when you think back to this whole net neutrality thing a lot of we get a lot of arguments in the comments about net neutrality so let's just say net neutrality we understand it's not perfect and free market is better but we are so far from free market I mean it's it's the Lesser to evils by a long shot and so this guy is admitting hey what we had before is gone it's we're not making money off of it we have to get our hands around the throat of this internet because that's where the future of the money is we must control your bits because if we control your bits then we can make money look put it to you this way if you had no television no media no internet and the only like I want you to think the worst reality TV show that you have ever seen that is just like the most appalling example of humanity ever and then imagine that you have no other form of entertainment at all but that and something slightly worse which one are you going to watch this is cable TV in a nutshell it's like it doesn't it doesn't matter if you're watching Big Mama's Family or uh I don't know the thing with Honey Boo Boo or just I don't know whatever the really awful reality TV shows you can think of if you have nothing else to do you're going to watch one of those and you're going to watch the commercial you want to you want to feel old somebody in the comments put what year honey boooo went off the air how long ago that was cuz I bet it's been like three or four years now oh Lord yeah so that's that's cable it's like no you can't you can't flourish it's like read a book no that's too much work shut up it's fine these people want to control your media experience because there's a lot of money to be made in that and they want to keep making it they've been making that lot of money for a long time and they're not willing to it up yeah the're they're not willing to only provide the infrastructure necessary to get on the internet because that's like a utility that's there's as much money to be made in providing internet access for arbitrary information not information you own uh as much profit margin as there is in uh you know like a cable or a a water company or an electric company or something like that there's not a lot of money to be made there so the thing is more about control you you know he who controls your water supply will you know do all sorts of crazy stuff I don't know it's fine well IBM and Samsung bring us Nano sheets Nano sheets is a new production process and they promise that is going to bring five nanometer transistors neat so at what uh 15 nanometers were on the order of 50 to 100 atoms per transistor it's yeah it's like uh a th000 per width of the human hair at 10 I think yeah so this is a fantastically small like we're starting run up against the limits of what you can do with with silicon and all the doping agents that go with silicon this is uh they're using uh radiation or something to burn it in and it's a whole new process so this is exciting sure but don't expect to see this anytime soon because it's all theoretical every Factory would have to change everything to move to this So eventually yeah it's going to be great but for the time being we're not going to see it it'll be interesting to see if IBM tries to open up a fabrication arm where they rent out fabrication facilities kind of like tsmc does now so you know Nvidia and AMD and other companies like that can sort of rent out the Fab from their fabrication process IBM could do the same if they really wanted to it's ultraviolet light not radiation don't correct me in the comments isn't isn't technically all of that a form of radiation ah so if you have like a really big truck with like the big diesel pipes in the back people make fun of you say you a small penis right are you have a really high caliber gun or something like that they're like oh what are you making up for so I wonder what someone who buys a 329 ratio monitor is making up for 32 by9 Samsung's Ultra Ultra Ultra wide double wise let's call this the Samsung double yeah that you got to scroll down and show that picture that is incredible W look at that look at that monster I don't know I mean I don't know I don't know I I I I want to know so my first monitor was a 4x3 monitor and I really like the vertical space of that 4x3 monitor I got a second 4x3 Monitor and I thought that I was in heaven and then 16 by10 came out and it was this widescreen thing and it's like 16 by 10 I I don't I don't have reservations about this I like having the extra pixels on the top and bottom there's something something ain't right about this and then 16 by9 and it's like what there's a war war on my ver iCal pixels I need my vertical pixels as much as my horizontal pixels and then uh yeah then the ultra wides came out and it's like I don't even like it's like I don't have room on my desk for a 40-inch monitor but you've got a 34 in Ultra wide you do realize that's measuring diagonally you know from corner to corner and a 40-in monitor is only about an inch wider 2 inches wider than a 34in monitor so if you've got the room widthwise you have the height I guarantee you that you have the height unless you're going to run two ultra wides one on top of each other in which case Kudos that's how I run but with 40in monitors and not 34in monitors because that's a thing so what is this this is this is this is crimes against humanity what this is well that's not what Samsung says about it they say it's an incredibly cinematic experience and that the curvature keeps everything in your peripheral vision which if you know if you're going to do gaming scroll down and show the battlefield screenshot yeah I mean that that's kind of cool right I guess it's not what I want but I'm sure some people be into that who wants this who who wants this what focus group is responsible for this so people in the comments are going to tell you that they want it uh and then of course they you know they say the whole like oh you've got two 1080 displays side by side did they have a price for that thing in there oh $1,500 well let me tell you for $11,000 we bought a 50in 4K you've probably you've seen it in some of the videos and that'll give you four 1080s it's like it's like uh 55 actually it's a cross 3 HDMI 2.0 two display port 1.2 and shipped from Korea it was only about 1,000 bucks and it's 4K and it'll overclock to 85 htz it's really nice so yeah I I'm not a big believer in Ultra wide but if you want Ultra wide and you really want Ultra wide Samsung's got you covered so riddle me this you Ultra wide users if you really like Ultra wide why couldn't you just run with black bars on the top and bottom with some something like the crossover 55 I mean if you like the extra field of view and you want to see more stuff why why not run with black bars when you need to do that riddle me this Batman I don't know I don't know what's happening okay oh yeah so we've got some more technology news so this is debauer if you haven't heard of him he's a sort of a a famous modder uh overclocker and he developed the tool for delting Skylake CPUs which really helps them overclock and so he's gotten his hands on a a bunch of the 10 core Skylake parts now officially all the Intel stuff is under NDA until June 19th I'm not saying anything at all I'm just telling you you should go read this it's kind of interesting but the video that he has here I want to call a special attention to because he says in that video that the 10 core is overclockable to 5 GHz and it's like o that sounds pretty good however delting is necessary to do that and the particular CPU that he was using was super handpicked and he thinks is super super cherry and not representative of a typical 10 core um Skylake example so 10 cores at 5 GHz is is not really realistic although he was doing that on an all-in-one liquid cooler a Corsair looked like an H115 GTX or something like that uh but it was delited which will destroy your warranty and possibly your CPU and that'll cost you $1,000 yeah yeah $1,000 CPU you're going to you know buy you know a tool to to delete it and do the other thing and whatever so it doesn't really say anything about the stock clocks and things like that I think Intel published the uh the stock clocks before um so that's a thing maybe it suggests that the 8 core will be a little bit more overclockable in the video He suggests that if You' got a really really good CPU you might hit 4.8 or 4.9 with the integrated heat spreader maybe 4.9 realistically you know 4.7 4.8 um on on all 10 cores which honestly it's not not bad I mean that's a that's a clock speed Advantage wasn't the turbo like 4.4 4.5 with just the natural turbo for the information that has been published on other websites that's what it looks like so really you're talking about you know getting point4 wasn't didn't AMD do like. three over and overclock so it's getting kind of close actually yeah yeah we have every reason to believe that thread Ripper is going to have the same 4.1 GHz hard ceiling um that everything else does but still if you had like a 12 core that's doing 4.1 which is uh one of the leaked specs for thread Ripper uh it's going to give Intel a run for its money I think I mean consider that before this on x99 even in the Zeon platform even when you're paying $7,000 per CPU in the server space you did not see 4 GHz anywhere in the Zeon lineup and all of a sudden we've got all kinds of parts that are more than four cores and more than 4 GHz out of the box that's I think that tells you something about the marketing and uh the uh you know stratification of the marketplace and how intel was sort of you know playing the game there with marketing I don't know in other CPU news Intel has fired an interesting warning shot across the bow of Microsoft and Qualcomm I don't know if you call it a a warning shot I mean it was very vague it was like hey remember what we did to the people that tried to do this before referring to transom of course so what we're talking about is the uh these new windows on arm is going to have full x86 emulation so you're actually going to have Windows on arm that can run any of the old apps yeah the full back story here is that Intel historically uh has not really been great about power management on x86 uh Intel has had a lot of of near misses um with partners that have been really frustrated with Intel's lack of power efficiency most famously is probably the MacBook Air the original MacBook Air was very almost an AMD processor because of power efficiency on on the on Intel side well you know that's basically true of tablet computers as well Intel has tried to produce atom CPUs that are relatively low power there have been a few phones that have been based on x86 I picked up some of them and you know everything across the board with those is lackluster battery life arm has been Superior for longevity battery life things like that Microsoft tried doing windows on arm and that was basically a failure so Microsoft Qualcomm not really ready to throw in the towel not really ready to give up arm processors increasing in complexity um toward their x86 counterparts because x86 CPUs are ludicrously complicated anyway Microsoft actually recently showed off uh a tablet that was running Photoshop for x86 competently on an arm processor and so the arm processor has gotten to a point where it's doing enough either in Hardware or software or a combination to emulate Intel's x86 instruction set architecture the interesting thing here is that technically today we're running amd64 which is actually amd's um instruction set architecture even on the Intel side of things because if you remember Intel came up with their own 64-bit architecture which everybody pointed and laughed at and was ultimately a horrible failure they had the itanium which was their take on 64-bit and that became known as the ianicrr D's net worth that should tell you something so uh you know sour grapes a little bit I don't know it's I don't know it's a really you know sort of airing of the dirty laundry here a little bit but uh Intel has has has sort of said you know we don't really like people using x86 other than us and and I guess grudgingly AMD so it's going to be interesting to see how this shakes out once these products are available and I think these products are are imminently uh nearing release like the the release is imminent for these particular products if qualcomm's legal department wasn't already earning every cent that I get paid with the Apple front now they're going to have to open up an Intel front yeah a lot I don't know it's going to be really I can't wait to see how this plays out this is going to be really nice kind of related apple is doing some stuff with with AMD and x86 the first thing we'll mention is iix it did a tear down of the new 21.5 retina 4K uh iMac and they found that it's actually upgradeable unlike previous models you can replace the CPU and the RAM and a whole bunch of other things if you're willing to tear this thing basically down to the frame which is good for repairability and upgrades I guess although the faint of heart is not going to upgrade it and I also uh I saw some stories about how it was closer in value to like if you go part by part you're actually not getting a terrible value and it hurts me to say that about Apple because you know I don't I don't like apple but it does seem like they're getting close now you it's still was like four grand for for the iMac Pro so it's still insanely expensive computer but they are giving you quality components and features for that for once well the iMac that I fixed it tore down I think was like the 12 or $1,300 model so it's was like the the lowest end new version that they could actually take apart and do stuff with but hey it's upgradeable so that's really really good maybe that's where they're getting their margin another thing is that um there has been an Intel part show up with an AMD GPU now this is all rumor and innuendo and there are certain sites on the internet that would have us believe that Intel and AMD are producing a single package a single unit a single chip that has an Intel component and an AMD component like as if it is a partnership but I'm going to weigh in here and say I don't think that's what it is I don't think it's Intel and AMD working together I think the story here is probably that that uh Apple is because apple is using Radeon gpus for a lot of their stuff now because of the performance in Vega we saw the Vega announcement I think that apple Apple has probably asked Intel and AMD to work together on a power efficient laptop and so a CPU has a device I should say has shown up in online benchmarks that seems to have an Intel CPU and seems to have Vega like stream processors and so it might it might possibly be something on one package we know from a couple of years ago that intel was working on a process where they would provide a carrier and a CPU and you could add other silicon to the package Ag and so this is not unlike some of the very small USB flash drives where fison or somebody like that provides a USB controller and somebody else can provide the flash chips but it's all packaged in one unit so Intel may be working on or perfecting a manufacturing process where they provide a certain type of CPU that actually has a socket for more silicon that somebody else can add stuff to later so not really a partnership between Intel and AMD but Intel and AMD working together on a new type of CPU product I don't know that for sure though that's just a guess but we'll see how good of a guess that is because reasons so that's probably something for a power efficient MacBook or something like that with a highspeed interconnect between CPUs I don't know should be good got a lot of AI news this week are you lying about your identity artificial intelligence can now tell we can't roll this out at the borders fast enough so the idea here is to look at your mouse movement and so so what they did was they took some people and they sort of trained them it's like okay this is your fake identity learn it and be ready to regurgitate all these things and then they took people who were actually real that was their identity and they sat them down and they ran them through these questions but they didn't give the fake identity people all the information in some cases they give them information that they would have to extrapolate so like what's your birth sign well you know your birth date but who has immediate recall of like oh this date is Scorpio you know so by tracking the mouse movements when they hit those difficult questions and had to think and calculate they were with very high accuracy able to tell who was not the real person yay AI yeah this is going to be rolled out at the border like it's it's going to be great you're going to sit down and you're going to have an interview with a robotic border agent and they're probably going to give you prescription anti-depressants by the time it's over that's going to be like the worst kind of capture cuz like some people are just going to be like freaked out and nervous not and they're going to get flagged as identity thieves and locked up maybe you can fake being like elderly or slightly scatterbrained or something to get out of that it's like I don't know what's happening I have yeah I have a card from my doctor well if you're suicidal it'll be able to detect that too so yeah artificial intelligence can now predict suicide with remarkable accuracy this is uh machine learning so they taught their AI with it just pure medical information like what they came to the hospital for what drugs they were on their vitals their medical history and then they after they taught it they 5,000 people they ran through the machine learning and then it had like 90% 80 to 90% accuracy it was n0 and then they had a 8 to n month window and a two we window it was more accurate at the two we window yeah of guessing who was going to kill themselves yeah this is really really uh interesting and and and and probably good for the future of medicine but I don't know it's it's very intrusive yeah and of course the first thing that comes up here is insurance can you imagine how quick your insurance company would drop you I don't think suicide is covered but I I don't know and it's also important to note these people didn't uh go to the hospital for like attempted suicide or anything like that suicide wasn't necessarily part of their medical history it's just the pattern that the machine learning found it wasn't clear to me if the psychological component like psych psychological mental health screening or anything like that was a part of their health screening either part of their their patient records because here in America we don't those those aren't even the same thing one of the big things was uh melatonin is it melatonin or melanin that makes you sleep melatonin melatonin if they were on a melatonin's prescription that was a huge waiting Factor because if you can't sleep right you're way more likely to kill yourself oh God that's probably not good maybe maybe cut back on the tea but I like the caffeine and the coffee and I just I don't know well if if it ever becomes ashes in your mouth and you're just like there's no reason to drink the tea then you got to worry in order for me to be on top of my game and play R Noels Battlegrounds I need at least three cups of coffee God knows we're on top of our H you can pick up this lovely shirt at level one store that'll that'll you know I don't know AI is also doing brain scans now this one is they're predicting autism based on infant brain scans so I wonder what the AI is seeing in the brain scans CU this one's also working really well well this was another machine learning so they took all these infant brain scans that they had and fed it through and they were like here's who turned out to have autism again amazingly accurate now this one is better at telling you that your child will not have autism 100% successful but of course you know that's like I don't know what percentage have autism so it's like probably pretty easy to be like oh yes this one's fine but in the ones that it was worried about I think like 80% of those turned out to be yes so another incredibly accurate AI now this one is terrifying in terms of insurance yeah because when you're born you might get a red mark next to your name it's like nope we're not touching this one man that's just there's so many dystopian things you can come up with because you know you can get an infant's DNA you know in in utero I guess or in vitro or I don't know what that is but before they're born and uh being able to read their DNA before they're born you know even if you're not manipulating the DNA is like oh no this one's not good enough reject let's let's try again it's funny you mention that because uh we never covered it but in Finland they just celebrated that a 0% Down syndrome births wow and that's not because nobody had a you know conceived a child with Down Syndrome it's that they are that good at finding it now and they terminated all those pregnancies wow but a lot of people are arguing it's like well you're kind of euthanizing people with Down syndrome and it's like isn't that a good thing I I don't know if yes me it is but at the same time are people with Down Syndrome not happy you know they seem happy some of them so these are probably more difficult questions new technology this above our pay grade but it's the same kind of thing like we have the ability to stamp these things out but do we have the authority well ping gears GameStop apparently had malware on their servers for like a year yeah if you're a console pleb and you've been playing console games instead of player unknowns Battleground which is the only game to play then uh you might want to check your email GameStop might have let you know that your identity's been stolen I remember when Gamestop had a PC game section pepp Farms remember I remember when any game store had anybody other than steam sold PC games GameStop was a great place to get the Lucas film games Lucas Arts games or what whatever those were really like Point click Adventures I always had you know one that I hadn't played I was like oh I'll save up and get that one but yeah nope no more and malware yeah there was wasn't there one guy that had gotten like six or seven I I found a different story that uh it was like one guy that had six or seven credit cards in a year and it turned out that it was GameStop because he bought stuff from Gamestop every week and it's like who is stealing my credit card every time it was GameStop wow so yeah that was that was neat traditional Sports have an Esports problem according to this yeah turns out Millennials there's a lot of uh did you see McDonald's released a report and it's like why is McDonald's doing bad and they're like it's the Millennials they won't eat our food well the Millennials is also it turns out they don't really watch Regular Sports actually they do but as opposed to earlier Generations it is a 11% or 12% abstain 40% and 48% split between Esports and Real Sports I've never I I know some people that are like really huge basketball fans and I've never understood the the behavioral display there when whenever like the basketball stuff is going on like I just I don't get it it's like why are you dis excited about this I don't do that with Esports either but it's just like yeah I I don't I haven't gotten into Esports at all but I'm not crazy about regular Sports I now both I can see the appeal of like watching a competition there is something a little bit entertaining I mean I'll watch football and basketball and be like hey that's an impressive thing those people are doing and I'll watch DOTA and I'll be like oh wow look what they did that's impressive I don't care but I can respect it I guess I don't know I see things on TV and those people like you can take it too far well no I'm not talking about the fans okay I'm talking about the players I like how here's my favorite thing about sports fanaticism it's like you don't like sports so you're gay but so the person telling me this has another man's name written across his back well maybe we can rely on Apple to tell us what's objectionable from now on because they're doing that you think Apple prefers Esports I think Apple prefers whatever makes the money I think Esports probably no I guess you would never esport there is no esport that takes place on Apple is there uh wow that's something for you right that might be changing because they're they're getting a graphics card worth a damn in the iMac so maybe we'll see yeah but young kids coming up in the eorts scene it's like I don't have any money I got to put together a machine I ain't going to be buying apples no scrapyard Wars for the you know like scraping together an iMac maybe a Hackintosh but I don't think that would be tournament legal play Starcraft Starcraft 2 was available for Max that was the last good game available for Mac I think but yeah this story is uh kind of depressing of course uh was it two weeks ago we learned of the death of poor Pepe the Frog oh yeah we haven't even told people what what apple is helping us out with it's uh Pepe is banned from the Apple App Store so you can't have applications that feature Pepe actually Apple did a whole bunch of revisions to the App Store um one of the other things that they revised in apps is now developers must use the iOS API for calling to ask for a rating because a lot of apps were uh so shall we say aggressively asking for a rating which helps Drive the rating up in the in the rankings in the the App Store and so now you if you're going to do that you have to use Apple's API and they can keep an eye on how often your application is doing that and how aggressively and control it yeah so the Pepe game they felt that Pepe represents you know racism or whatever he's political extremism now this app did you look at the app the app is hilarious the app is about the the the re the Pepe so the autistic screeching so you have to scream at your phone to control Pepe and up a little bit the point system is tendies chicken tendies well this is a work of art that is being suppressed I mean is this is this what we have really come to as a society that we must suppress certain kinds of artwork this is this is a this is a masterpiece now I would like to call out to forchan and the people cuz no don't invoke the forch I'm I'm not saying I'm not asking them to do this I'm giving them a an idea cuz Pepe you know they did that sort of as a joke it's like could we really get Pepe turned into a horrible alt R like could we make him a character of hate and they could the answer is yes so I would say start using the Apple logo hey if you could get that turned into a an hate icon can you imagine how great that would be or Tim Cook caricature oh there's a lot of ways you can go with that I'm not you know be creative but I'm just saying they're insanely creative well that brings us to the end of another episode of the news this is not good we we're ending on a note involving for CH this is not good very bad I mean more get if you're an app developer count your points and tendies that is genius look at that look how hilarious that is I don't even so yeah and screaming re at your phone now if you see somebody screaming re at their phone on the subway you know what they're playing well but they're not playing it's not you can't get it I wonder if it's going to be like like uh Flappy Bird or some of those other games where you could buy a phone that had that app pre-installed from before it was banned and they go for like $10,000 on eBay or maybe you think Google Play would take it probably I don't think Google Play cares I'm sure you could get it on Steam yeah steam green light you have to have a good microphone though yeah well we'll see you next week yep see youtoday is Tuesday June 13th and we have an announcement due to pressure from the level one shareholders today's broadcast will not be referred to as news today's broadcast will simply be an information matter H this is because of all the corrections I think it play the fifth did you leak the memo yourself you leak the memo yourself you you all along uh moving right along uh no you know no horrible disaster I mean you can't like so okay some things happened and uh you know I was a terroristic attack but the British prime minister Jesus there it's like oh let's go after a ban on encryption because of the terrorists using encryption wait yeah so well this is an old story we already covered this cuz this happen last Saturday and uh we talked about it but the thing about this story is that she got reelected so all of the like oh God is this going to happen yes it is going to happen now they're going after the internet they are not backing down on this rhetoric that encryption is the problem so if you're in the UK get ready yeah you probably I mean I don't know what to do to tell you to it's just like the dest thing in the world it's like I mean this is you know it's like the movie Idiocracy when the corporations convince the world that brondo is better than water because brondo has got electrolytes this is like that but the encryption version of that it's it's got what terrorists crave it definitely apparently does have what terrorists crave so another feature of that the one of the other heads of that Hydra is that they want faster access to your information not only do they want your information but it's taken way too long for them to get your information so they need access to every computer everywhere this is what this is going to lead to but for right now it is oh the EU asks to expedite police requests for Tech firms so Google Microsoft things like that they basically want to be plugged in directly to those companies infrastructure to be able to do their own searching impu Lively and they want to do it across the internal borders so it doesn't matter which country this happened in any other country should be able to go directly to the company without discussing it with that government and get whatever they need that's what they want here yeah it's like oh should we not have searched all the citizens data oh well too late we already did H guess it's fine yeah so you don't even know as the leader of your country you don't even know when your citizens are being spyed on but in turn you can spy on anybody else so it's totally fair right I I I really have a pro like the overall trend of this we need to come up with a word for this because it's it's it's a trend of if you don't know your rights have been violated then your rights have not been violated and I don't subscribe to that well there was that uh when the NSA thing first happened or maybe it was one of the FBI things someone tried to sue them and their argument in court was you were not allowed to sue us because technically you should have not have known that we did this I don't we reported on that a couple of weeks ago that is that is that has been that is at the upper echelons of the court system now and they may actually get to hear that we don't know but it'll be interesting well here in America we've got our own problems and our spy Chief has uh said he's not going to say how many Americans were caught in NSA surveillance hint all of them now previously he did when he was Under Fire for this whole thing it was like all right look I'm want to tell you who it was calm down and then you know the short memory and the short outrage span of America it's like all right let them calm down we're definitely not doing that and the reason they're giving is insane it's like okay it's going to take a lot of effort to do this and in order to do it we'd have to take effort away from stopping the terrorists and we cannot do that and also what if us finding out who they were somehow exposes who they were and it gets out it's like you're worried about their privacy so you can't tell us you spied on them uh I don't know the M the mine really reals here the the type of mental gymnastics I mean it's just the only fix here is for us to educate you guys on how technology actually works in hopes that there will be a balance of citizens that really understand how technology works and can see through all the BS from the politicians and then in turn whenever you get to the labor camp you spread that information to the others in the labor camp for the eventual Insurrection cuz it's going to get that's where it's going to go speaking of things unexpectedly sending you to the labor camp uh invisible yellow dots on printouts what what's going on with that now this is about uh re reality winter reality winter yes you've heard of I don't think we covered reality winner that happened in like a weird time cuz we had to record the news early one week uh but real winter was the latest Snowden essentially she leaked she's been arrested we don't know she leaked some documents well no they know that she leaked the documents cuz that's what I got her caught h i mean well but so I mean okay yeah probably very likely the case but you know maybe she just printed something and put it in the trash and it wasn't shredded properly and so she's been like she to it okay yeah damn it but what happened I think it was The Intercept what was the paper yeah The Intercept accidentally leaked the well they asked for proof and The Intercept was like well here's a page explain that and they're like oh we'll take this thank you now if you don't know every printer has a way of identifying itself on every page that it prints and uh it prints teeny tiny dots in yellow that include a date code in the serial number of the printer and that was enough information for the NSA to figure out who was using that printer at that time in order to figure out who printed the document so uh this uh this is you know unfortunate because uh you know whistleblower I mean this is this story is a microcosm of things that are wrong with like the whistleblowing thing in general but also shows you how little um you know journalistic like the intercept has a really good reputation but they have mishandled things from an information security standpoint and that is sad yeah I guess uh it's equally damning whether they didn't know that was a thing being someone who gets leaks from people whose name is The Intercept or if they didn't care now the act of putting these little yellow dots on your paper is called steganography which makes me think of a Stegosaurus writing very beautiful handwriting well technically steganography is just embedding information uh in in anything so there're steganography like you can have a JPEG and you can use the lower order bits of a JPEG and encode information and it's not really detectable unless you're look for it or when you take a picture with your iPhone it injects things that people can tell where that came from yeah oh your devices are spying on you in myriads and myriads of ways and most people don't even realize this is crazy oh and this technology how long has it been in Printers since 1997 sprinters have been able to print that small well it's a milestone week for technology the British police have used facial recognition to make an arrest for the first time now they've been monitoring faces for a while now I think they first uh rolled it out at some kind of concert or no it was uh maybe it was a sports event this was a soccer match a fairly large one so they did the usual you know if you go to one of these events your face is being recorded and they're running against the database of known criminals for the first time ever they actually caught somebody they saw him on the tape picked him up and arrested him this happened back in May but no one could report on it because it was an active investigation well now I guess he's been officially charged neat it's a it's a great day for technology everybody so yeah keep your head down it's only a matter of time before these things also apply to parking fines and God knows what else it's like oh your your wheelie curb for your trash was 6 Ines off the curb it's going to apply to tweets that are critical of the government well it's stacking the deck the other way AT&T and Direct TV are facing thousands of complaints linked to overcharging and promotions but senators are actually kind of investigating so there's a clause in their service agreement so when you sign up for these Services uh you enter into what's called a binding arbitration clause which means if you have a beef with them rather than immediately go to lawyers you have to go to a third party arbitration company hired by them hired by them yeah hired by by the company and it turns out that third party arbitration company doesn't really ever find for the consumer rules in their favor so this has to do with uh AT&T has a price lock in policy so it's like for two years it's guaranteed to be these price and people would be like hey it's not been two years and my price has doubled and they're like well that's your new price deal with it like the mafia yeah so the other thing that you agree to when you sign that contract is no class action you are not allowed to bring class action against them so really there's no way out you just pay more and if you say I'm not paying more I went out of this contract they have an early termination fee yeah enjoy your early termination fee pleb uh so this is being investigated but there's nothing actually that has gone wrong with this probably what will happen is AT&T now this sounds really cynical but this is probably what will happen AT&T will contribute to these Senators reelection funds and then the whole thing will just go away or it'll be like oh is that wrong should we not have done that it is technically legal yeah which is technically legal that's the state that we're in it is technically legal to break a contract as long as you let it put in the contract hey we're going to break this contract and there's nothing you can do about it yay the United corporations of America it's no wonder the citizenry of America is so disenfranchised I swear it's crazy uh the Supreme Court is going to settle a major uh cell phone privacy case uh this has to do with law enforcement basically spying on You by monitoring your like subpoenaing youit your bills or well not really subing just getting information about your cell phone without really going through due process yeah this uh the ones that or the one that is an actual like the the case that's going to decide this is location data so so they were they suspected a guy of burglarizing places so they went to his location data and he had been to all those places on that day or previous to those days probably staking them out and they said hm yeah this is our guy so he took it all the way to the Supreme Court saying you should not have known that you shouldn't be able to get this information about me without a warrant which they didn't have yeah no no warrant but you know that never really stops anybody no well the uh they didn't go don't have to go through a judge or anything they just went to the mobile company and they're like hey we need now like here you go now a couple of weeks ago we talked about the shadow Brokers and the information disclosure stuff and the Intel active management vulnerabilities in the Intel firmware um because those were used by the intelligence Community but it has been leaked on the internet and so now the bad guys are using those well it turns out there are some lingering remnants of that document leak and one of those is to be able to use an obscure feature of the active management uh technology to establish a serial connection to uh machines on your land because you can apparently do serial over land and you can use that for exfiltrating information um undetectably or not really undetectably but it flies so far under the radar of most you know malware and intrusion detection systems that hey this has been spotted in the wild this doesn't it's not really you wouldn't think of this as a traditional infection or malware because it's not like taking over your machine or anything like that it's just simply listening to what you do and send it somewhere yeah yeah you can have a piece of software running on a computer that is dumping information in this like serial Overland protocol and then have something else somewhere else picking that up and it basically flies under the radar I mean uh if you've got you know like a perimeter firewall or something like that it may be detected but any kind of firewall or monitoring on the actual individual machine so like say your server has firewall or intrusion detection software because this is happening outside the purview of the operating system it's not detectable from that Vantage Point yeah that's the terrible thing about that management engine you really have no control over it at whatsoever and it has full access to everything so if it were a printer this would be the yellow dots on the page that you didn't know was there at least you could like clip the borders off of your leak documents like cut it out and then just like use Pace isn't that what like Ransom people do yeah well they do the they get like a magazine and do the individual cuz the uh the fonts and stuff can give you away too got to be careful well in other news Mountain View California recently without power yeah you have this drone to thank for that or what's left of it it looks like at least he suffered for his crimes the Drone flew into a power transformer and knocked out power for 1,600 people this is uh now this guy was near an airport so it actually wasn't legal for him to be flying a drone there in the first place and they are looking for him I'm sure they'll find him but this could happen anywhere and this kind of thing it's very annoying and I'm sure it's expensive and he should be made to pay for the whatever he broke but I'm sure they're going to use this as a reason to be like hey we got to crack down on these drones we need licensing we need tracking that kind of thing pretty soon we're going to be licensing and tracking all kinds of squirrels and birds and things like that too because get those kamakazi squirrels that dive right into the Transformer got to license and track all those we need them all tagged we need them tracked by side ites at all times can you imagine it's your job to track and tag squirrels little tranquilizer gun what kind of world do we live in when we're tracking squirrels and and you know all all other kinds of rodentia just to make sure that they don't dive bomb into a Transformer I mean it's really not a lot different with the drones but okay whatever yeah well at least it doesn't seem like it was malicious I think this guy was just a crappy pilot yeah yeah yeah well of course of course we have to set up an entire you know new set of regulations and laws and things to address the idiocy of a handful of people although maybe just some netting above the Transformers you know something like that dope the wire so that it tastes bad for squirrels I don't know now we always talk about the internet of things and how The Internet of Things has already been co-opted by criminals and how uh you know I don't know the baby monitor in Minnesota is dosing somebody in the Middle East or something well it turns out some of those internet cameras have passwords that cannot be changed this is what did you call the the Chinese nephew who's doing all the software for these can't remember hung Su or something like that this is this is definitely the work of hungu I don't it's this is not malicious this is just Chinese manufacturers are looking to make these as cheaply as possible and on the hardware end they're getting the lowest of the the cheapest contractor they can find so I I don't think it's that you know it's like we we're going to use these for a botn net and the Americans will bombb and then we'll control them no it's just they didn't know what they were doing exactly and it was easy to it's the password is blank by the way it's hard-coded as blank and you can't change it why would you put a password field why not just leave it out it was probably burned into the ROM or something yeah probably so yeah you can you can get into these cameras with this password field and then there's another vulnerability that let you escalate that to give you more permission what really happened was uh he sng you know his uncle had a warehouse full of electronics that had never been sold and when he Incorporated these he discovered that there was only about as much CPU as a speaking spell and so of course encrypting the password was just not an option with those CPUs so that's why we have the blank password field uh it says the names of the cameras with the opticam HD so if you got an opticam HD people are watching yeah don't don't put it on the internet for God's sakes don't put it on the internet that's just really really terrible uh I wanted to think of a really clever intro for the next news story something about being toxic or oh how about oops the Russians did it again oops the Russians did it again the Russian malware the the command and control structure is apparently Britney Spear's Instagram page this is not a joke like the jok's right themselves here this is not a joke so if you're a Russian malware maker what you have to worry about is people tracking You Down based on the command and control server right cuz your malware has to call home find out what to do next you've got thousands of devices participating in your botn net how do you control thousands of devices without giving away your position so the idea is you need a rolling moving command and control server it has to move constantly but then how do you update the devices that it's moved without sending the address to the devices which could get you caught well the answer is of course Britney Spear's Instagram literally the most toxic Instagram on the internet so they used characters and the devices new to look at Britney Spear's Instagram they were monitoring her Instagram at all times and when they would find a comment that contained these characters then certain parts of that comment could be put together and deconstructed to be the location of the new server that's amazing it's very clever that's really amazing and this is exactly the kind of thing that Teresa may wants to Outlaw so I gu I guess we would have her than for that yeah I mean you know well but that's not encrypted I mean it's kind of encrypted but it's not it's a cipher I mean you know well but there's no they're never going to catch that it's not traditional we've definitely seen law enforcement twist the definitions of things well past that I'm pretty sure that this encoding mechanism even I mean it's it's it's not quite even as as sophisticated as rot 13 but I am sure that they would tack on a charge of you know using Outlaw encryption if they if they you know Teresa May's vision of this comes to life can you imagine them like you know Britney Spears in a little interrogation here like what you when was the last time you were in Russia oh you know the scary thing though is in America if she wasn't Britney Spears like if she was just some randomly selected person on Instagram you know they would have her in GMO for the next five years trying to figure it out I mean she's just she's she's fortunate in that no one would believe that she's any kind of like Russian malware Kingpin although W that would be delightful maybe that's what she wants us to believe now I might believe Taylor Swift is some sort of information security Kingpin but Britney Spears no I don't think so and I've got an idea for my next novelty Twitter account uh Spears on malware yes Spears on malware what's happening uh this is really neat malware is using router LEDs to steal data from secure networks this is a little bit of a false headline a little bit of fake news this is actually just security researchers like I wonder if we could do that and they could so it is possible to use the LEDs on your router to air gap information to a camera there is actually uh there is a a story um that may have inspired the researchers from this uh there was something uh there was a story about um some data exfiltration a long time ago they used like a a telescope and some other stuff I think it was a hard drive indicator right yeah yeah and was like an old old and it was so slow it's really slow we're talking like 300 400 kilobytes per second but you could actually get the information You Could reconstruct the data stream from the LED like that was a feature of really ancient computers and apparently during the Cold War America exfiltrated data that way using a telescope I think they use that as their you know it's like wow if they can do that imagine what we can do with a bunch of LEDs so the big Enterprise grade switches and routers and stuff which have tons and tons of Lights you can get pretty good speed from those yeah just flash modified firmware on there and then you're good to go it's it's not the computers that are a danger to our our information freedoms it's the computers within the computers that are the danger well Switching gears a little bit Tesla is going to deploy uh upgraded superchargers that actually disconnect from the grid and are running off of solar and their Battery Technology yeah that so they they've always talked about doing this but it's like people are like why would you do that why not just I mean because a lot of places you can make money you can feed back into the grid with your why would you do that once the battery's full well it turns out the reason is because somebody criticized musk for because when you get right down to it electric power that they're using is coming from coal in like 80% of the places so it's not really all that clean and beautiful so he was wounded by that and he was like we'll just do Sol lat the sad thing is it probably wasn't an Internet troll or a YouTube commenter that did that it was probably some politician or like the president's Aid or something and he was just like my God you're so dumb let's all right all right I'll bite I'll go with that because those are really the best kind of trolls the trolls that don't realize that they're trolls those are the ultimate trolls turns out though you can't do this in snowy places so I'm really surprised by that because I would think that the snow would be a natural solar reflector and you could just yeah but the panels are just on top so you have to put panels under the under theow I don't know if you could do that or put panels in the sky above the it might also be a matter of them being covered up oh yeah and then you have to deal with I'm sure you could come up with a little squeegee robot that would roll around H well speaking you know we would not it would not be the news if we did not have a story about people being replaced with technology this story comes to us from Boeing Boeing is looking at replacing uh Pilots of aircraft with entirely automated aircraft now this is uh this is you know something they're just starting on so don't if you're like freaking out like wait what no no not robot planes that's a terrible idea they yeah they're they're not really rolling them out anytime soon they're just thinking like what if what if we could do that now the critics have said what about like you know the guy that landed the plane in the Hudson River like could a robot even think to do that that's a lot of people are like no you need to pile it because sometimes crazy decisions have to be made and you know if somebody's kicking the door of the cockpit in and they're going to smash the AI the AI can't shoot them so or can it yeah well this is how Skynet was born it's like we gave Johnny cab a gun well yeah we gave it a gun to keep people out of the cockpit so that it could Ram its plane wherever it wanted to Ram its plane uh maybe this maybe this is not such a good idea idea call me a l ey well what about cargo ships those would be safer right Japan is going to launch self-navigating cargo ships by 2025 I can't think of a good reason not to do cargo ships I mean because you don't have any human passengers the worst thing that can happen is you know millions of dollars of stuff gets lost in the sea but that happens anyway sometimes and uh yeah that sounds great they are they really are working on this so they're saying 2025 you will have your first Skeleton Crew robot cargo ship But ultimately the goal is no humans on board so Captain Johnny cab is bad but uh Johnny cab on a boat is still still be a captain Oh I guess he's still a captain but he doesn't have the wings there's no wings they could give him a little digital set huh that's interesting Johnny oops UPS yeah that'll be good yeah that's uh yeah self-navigating ships I'm sure that'll save a lot of money and Destroy some economies H well one US insurer has decided that Tesla uh needs to pay like people that own Teslas need to pay higher than average premiums because of they're higher than average claim rates yeah this is uh so there's a funny thing in this article I didn't realize but high-end cars have an 18% higher accident rate than middle of the road cars did you know that no I didn't realize that and it's like I wonder why cuz they're usually built better but I think it's entitlement you know like that whole uh you know Mercedes drivers don't use their interet signal that's been true and my observation have you noticed that so I think these Tesla are just like yeah the laws don't apply to me and they wreck their cars a lot so AAA saying you're going to pay more I was doing some searches for this and um I found a couple of forum posts from the people that do body work apparently because people were trying to have you know sort of non dealer people service the the body on their Teslas but apparently whatever the body is made out of is really hard to service when you get Vents and things like that in certain places and it can cost you know 20 $30,000 to top box it is probably a 10 or 15y old piece of technology the menu interface is horrible and clunky there are probably ads the television shows you can watch are not index properly the search function is a joke you can't really do anything you know like a TV remote control is a horrible user interface it's like we have computers now the computers for searching and finding and playing back digital content is like akin to when TVs had like an analog knob and you'd have to like fiddle with the knob and then there was like another Knob outside that knob where you'd have to like dial in the channel just the right way because it was like you know slightly out of frequency or being reflected off a Barnes roof or something do you uh do you remember now this is going to date us horrible do you remember those first remote controls where they had a tether yeah the tether and they had individual switches for every channel and when like when they upgraded yeah when they upgraded the TV service to have more channels than you had switches nothing you can do well now I got one that had a rocker switch on the side and so like you would rock this You' Rock the rocker switch and push the button and then you rock so we didn't have that kind of black magic we just had I think ours had 15 maybe so this is like trying to you know mandate that this this uh this industry continue to live because you know we need to ban the production of infrared LEDs and receivers because the people that make that tether wire are going to be out of a job now they talked one of the really telling things about this article is this guy is the uh uh head of the CEO of the American cable Association that's a Lobby group so I mean if there's anybody who's going to try to downplay Cable dying it's this guy because he doesn't want to tell you that he's telling you that you know it's really bad what he said was this is why Broadband is so important to our business model so controlling Broadband exactly so when you think back to this whole net neutrality thing a lot of we get a lot of arguments in the comments about net neutrality so let's just say net neutrality we understand it's not perfect and free market is better but we are so far from free market I mean it's it's the Lesser to evils by a long shot and so this guy is admitting hey what we had before is gone it's we're not making money off of it we have to get our hands around the throat of this internet because that's where the future of the money is we must control your bits because if we control your bits then we can make money look put it to you this way if you had no television no media no internet and the only like I want you to think the worst reality TV show that you have ever seen that is just like the most appalling example of humanity ever and then imagine that you have no other form of entertainment at all but that and something slightly worse which one are you going to watch this is cable TV in a nutshell it's like it doesn't it doesn't matter if you're watching Big Mama's Family or uh I don't know the thing with Honey Boo Boo or just I don't know whatever the really awful reality TV shows you can think of if you have nothing else to do you're going to watch one of those and you're going to watch the commercial you want to you want to feel old somebody in the comments put what year honey boooo went off the air how long ago that was cuz I bet it's been like three or four years now oh Lord yeah so that's that's cable it's like no you can't you can't flourish it's like read a book no that's too much work shut up it's fine these people want to control your media experience because there's a lot of money to be made in that and they want to keep making it they've been making that lot of money for a long time and they're not willing to it up yeah the're they're not willing to only provide the infrastructure necessary to get on the internet because that's like a utility that's there's as much money to be made in providing internet access for arbitrary information not information you own uh as much profit margin as there is in uh you know like a cable or a a water company or an electric company or something like that there's not a lot of money to be made there so the thing is more about control you you know he who controls your water supply will you know do all sorts of crazy stuff I don't know it's fine well IBM and Samsung bring us Nano sheets Nano sheets is a new production process and they promise that is going to bring five nanometer transistors neat so at what uh 15 nanometers were on the order of 50 to 100 atoms per transistor it's yeah it's like uh a th000 per width of the human hair at 10 I think yeah so this is a fantastically small like we're starting run up against the limits of what you can do with with silicon and all the doping agents that go with silicon this is uh they're using uh radiation or something to burn it in and it's a whole new process so this is exciting sure but don't expect to see this anytime soon because it's all theoretical every Factory would have to change everything to move to this So eventually yeah it's going to be great but for the time being we're not going to see it it'll be interesting to see if IBM tries to open up a fabrication arm where they rent out fabrication facilities kind of like tsmc does now so you know Nvidia and AMD and other companies like that can sort of rent out the Fab from their fabrication process IBM could do the same if they really wanted to it's ultraviolet light not radiation don't correct me in the comments isn't isn't technically all of that a form of radiation ah so if you have like a really big truck with like the big diesel pipes in the back people make fun of you say you a small penis right are you have a really high caliber gun or something like that they're like oh what are you making up for so I wonder what someone who buys a 329 ratio monitor is making up for 32 by9 Samsung's Ultra Ultra Ultra wide double wise let's call this the Samsung double yeah that you got to scroll down and show that picture that is incredible W look at that look at that monster I don't know I mean I don't know I don't know I I I I want to know so my first monitor was a 4x3 monitor and I really like the vertical space of that 4x3 monitor I got a second 4x3 Monitor and I thought that I was in heaven and then 16 by10 came out and it was this widescreen thing and it's like 16 by 10 I I don't I don't have reservations about this I like having the extra pixels on the top and bottom there's something something ain't right about this and then 16 by9 and it's like what there's a war war on my ver iCal pixels I need my vertical pixels as much as my horizontal pixels and then uh yeah then the ultra wides came out and it's like I don't even like it's like I don't have room on my desk for a 40-inch monitor but you've got a 34 in Ultra wide you do realize that's measuring diagonally you know from corner to corner and a 40-in monitor is only about an inch wider 2 inches wider than a 34in monitor so if you've got the room widthwise you have the height I guarantee you that you have the height unless you're going to run two ultra wides one on top of each other in which case Kudos that's how I run but with 40in monitors and not 34in monitors because that's a thing so what is this this is this is this is crimes against humanity what this is well that's not what Samsung says about it they say it's an incredibly cinematic experience and that the curvature keeps everything in your peripheral vision which if you know if you're going to do gaming scroll down and show the battlefield screenshot yeah I mean that that's kind of cool right I guess it's not what I want but I'm sure some people be into that who wants this who who wants this what focus group is responsible for this so people in the comments are going to tell you that they want it uh and then of course they you know they say the whole like oh you've got two 1080 displays side by side did they have a price for that thing in there oh $1,500 well let me tell you for $11,000 we bought a 50in 4K you've probably you've seen it in some of the videos and that'll give you four 1080s it's like it's like uh 55 actually it's a cross 3 HDMI 2.0 two display port 1.2 and shipped from Korea it was only about 1,000 bucks and it's 4K and it'll overclock to 85 htz it's really nice so yeah I I'm not a big believer in Ultra wide but if you want Ultra wide and you really want Ultra wide Samsung's got you covered so riddle me this you Ultra wide users if you really like Ultra wide why couldn't you just run with black bars on the top and bottom with some something like the crossover 55 I mean if you like the extra field of view and you want to see more stuff why why not run with black bars when you need to do that riddle me this Batman I don't know I don't know what's happening okay oh yeah so we've got some more technology news so this is debauer if you haven't heard of him he's a sort of a a famous modder uh overclocker and he developed the tool for delting Skylake CPUs which really helps them overclock and so he's gotten his hands on a a bunch of the 10 core Skylake parts now officially all the Intel stuff is under NDA until June 19th I'm not saying anything at all I'm just telling you you should go read this it's kind of interesting but the video that he has here I want to call a special attention to because he says in that video that the 10 core is overclockable to 5 GHz and it's like o that sounds pretty good however delting is necessary to do that and the particular CPU that he was using was super handpicked and he thinks is super super cherry and not representative of a typical 10 core um Skylake example so 10 cores at 5 GHz is is not really realistic although he was doing that on an all-in-one liquid cooler a Corsair looked like an H115 GTX or something like that uh but it was delited which will destroy your warranty and possibly your CPU and that'll cost you $1,000 yeah yeah $1,000 CPU you're going to you know buy you know a tool to to delete it and do the other thing and whatever so it doesn't really say anything about the stock clocks and things like that I think Intel published the uh the stock clocks before um so that's a thing maybe it suggests that the 8 core will be a little bit more overclockable in the video He suggests that if You' got a really really good CPU you might hit 4.8 or 4.9 with the integrated heat spreader maybe 4.9 realistically you know 4.7 4.8 um on on all 10 cores which honestly it's not not bad I mean that's a that's a clock speed Advantage wasn't the turbo like 4.4 4.5 with just the natural turbo for the information that has been published on other websites that's what it looks like so really you're talking about you know getting point4 wasn't didn't AMD do like. three over and overclock so it's getting kind of close actually yeah yeah we have every reason to believe that thread Ripper is going to have the same 4.1 GHz hard ceiling um that everything else does but still if you had like a 12 core that's doing 4.1 which is uh one of the leaked specs for thread Ripper uh it's going to give Intel a run for its money I think I mean consider that before this on x99 even in the Zeon platform even when you're paying $7,000 per CPU in the server space you did not see 4 GHz anywhere in the Zeon lineup and all of a sudden we've got all kinds of parts that are more than four cores and more than 4 GHz out of the box that's I think that tells you something about the marketing and uh the uh you know stratification of the marketplace and how intel was sort of you know playing the game there with marketing I don't know in other CPU news Intel has fired an interesting warning shot across the bow of Microsoft and Qualcomm I don't know if you call it a a warning shot I mean it was very vague it was like hey remember what we did to the people that tried to do this before referring to transom of course so what we're talking about is the uh these new windows on arm is going to have full x86 emulation so you're actually going to have Windows on arm that can run any of the old apps yeah the full back story here is that Intel historically uh has not really been great about power management on x86 uh Intel has had a lot of of near misses um with partners that have been really frustrated with Intel's lack of power efficiency most famously is probably the MacBook Air the original MacBook Air was very almost an AMD processor because of power efficiency on on the on Intel side well you know that's basically true of tablet computers as well Intel has tried to produce atom CPUs that are relatively low power there have been a few phones that have been based on x86 I picked up some of them and you know everything across the board with those is lackluster battery life arm has been Superior for longevity battery life things like that Microsoft tried doing windows on arm and that was basically a failure so Microsoft Qualcomm not really ready to throw in the towel not really ready to give up arm processors increasing in complexity um toward their x86 counterparts because x86 CPUs are ludicrously complicated anyway Microsoft actually recently showed off uh a tablet that was running Photoshop for x86 competently on an arm processor and so the arm processor has gotten to a point where it's doing enough either in Hardware or software or a combination to emulate Intel's x86 instruction set architecture the interesting thing here is that technically today we're running amd64 which is actually amd's um instruction set architecture even on the Intel side of things because if you remember Intel came up with their own 64-bit architecture which everybody pointed and laughed at and was ultimately a horrible failure they had the itanium which was their take on 64-bit and that became known as the ianicrr D's net worth that should tell you something so uh you know sour grapes a little bit I don't know it's I don't know it's a really you know sort of airing of the dirty laundry here a little bit but uh Intel has has has sort of said you know we don't really like people using x86 other than us and and I guess grudgingly AMD so it's going to be interesting to see how this shakes out once these products are available and I think these products are are imminently uh nearing release like the the release is imminent for these particular products if qualcomm's legal department wasn't already earning every cent that I get paid with the Apple front now they're going to have to open up an Intel front yeah a lot I don't know it's going to be really I can't wait to see how this plays out this is going to be really nice kind of related apple is doing some stuff with with AMD and x86 the first thing we'll mention is iix it did a tear down of the new 21.5 retina 4K uh iMac and they found that it's actually upgradeable unlike previous models you can replace the CPU and the RAM and a whole bunch of other things if you're willing to tear this thing basically down to the frame which is good for repairability and upgrades I guess although the faint of heart is not going to upgrade it and I also uh I saw some stories about how it was closer in value to like if you go part by part you're actually not getting a terrible value and it hurts me to say that about Apple because you know I don't I don't like apple but it does seem like they're getting close now you it's still was like four grand for for the iMac Pro so it's still insanely expensive computer but they are giving you quality components and features for that for once well the iMac that I fixed it tore down I think was like the 12 or $1,300 model so it's was like the the lowest end new version that they could actually take apart and do stuff with but hey it's upgradeable so that's really really good maybe that's where they're getting their margin another thing is that um there has been an Intel part show up with an AMD GPU now this is all rumor and innuendo and there are certain sites on the internet that would have us believe that Intel and AMD are producing a single package a single unit a single chip that has an Intel component and an AMD component like as if it is a partnership but I'm going to weigh in here and say I don't think that's what it is I don't think it's Intel and AMD working together I think the story here is probably that that uh Apple is because apple is using Radeon gpus for a lot of their stuff now because of the performance in Vega we saw the Vega announcement I think that apple Apple has probably asked Intel and AMD to work together on a power efficient laptop and so a CPU has a device I should say has shown up in online benchmarks that seems to have an Intel CPU and seems to have Vega like stream processors and so it might it might possibly be something on one package we know from a couple of years ago that intel was working on a process where they would provide a carrier and a CPU and you could add other silicon to the package Ag and so this is not unlike some of the very small USB flash drives where fison or somebody like that provides a USB controller and somebody else can provide the flash chips but it's all packaged in one unit so Intel may be working on or perfecting a manufacturing process where they provide a certain type of CPU that actually has a socket for more silicon that somebody else can add stuff to later so not really a partnership between Intel and AMD but Intel and AMD working together on a new type of CPU product I don't know that for sure though that's just a guess but we'll see how good of a guess that is because reasons so that's probably something for a power efficient MacBook or something like that with a highspeed interconnect between CPUs I don't know should be good got a lot of AI news this week are you lying about your identity artificial intelligence can now tell we can't roll this out at the borders fast enough so the idea here is to look at your mouse movement and so so what they did was they took some people and they sort of trained them it's like okay this is your fake identity learn it and be ready to regurgitate all these things and then they took people who were actually real that was their identity and they sat them down and they ran them through these questions but they didn't give the fake identity people all the information in some cases they give them information that they would have to extrapolate so like what's your birth sign well you know your birth date but who has immediate recall of like oh this date is Scorpio you know so by tracking the mouse movements when they hit those difficult questions and had to think and calculate they were with very high accuracy able to tell who was not the real person yay AI yeah this is going to be rolled out at the border like it's it's going to be great you're going to sit down and you're going to have an interview with a robotic border agent and they're probably going to give you prescription anti-depressants by the time it's over that's going to be like the worst kind of capture cuz like some people are just going to be like freaked out and nervous not and they're going to get flagged as identity thieves and locked up maybe you can fake being like elderly or slightly scatterbrained or something to get out of that it's like I don't know what's happening I have yeah I have a card from my doctor well if you're suicidal it'll be able to detect that too so yeah artificial intelligence can now predict suicide with remarkable accuracy this is uh machine learning so they taught their AI with it just pure medical information like what they came to the hospital for what drugs they were on their vitals their medical history and then they after they taught it they 5,000 people they ran through the machine learning and then it had like 90% 80 to 90% accuracy it was n0 and then they had a 8 to n month window and a two we window it was more accurate at the two we window yeah of guessing who was going to kill themselves yeah this is really really uh interesting and and and and probably good for the future of medicine but I don't know it's it's very intrusive yeah and of course the first thing that comes up here is insurance can you imagine how quick your insurance company would drop you I don't think suicide is covered but I I don't know and it's also important to note these people didn't uh go to the hospital for like attempted suicide or anything like that suicide wasn't necessarily part of their medical history it's just the pattern that the machine learning found it wasn't clear to me if the psychological component like psych psychological mental health screening or anything like that was a part of their health screening either part of their their patient records because here in America we don't those those aren't even the same thing one of the big things was uh melatonin is it melatonin or melanin that makes you sleep melatonin melatonin if they were on a melatonin's prescription that was a huge waiting Factor because if you can't sleep right you're way more likely to kill yourself oh God that's probably not good maybe maybe cut back on the tea but I like the caffeine and the coffee and I just I don't know well if if it ever becomes ashes in your mouth and you're just like there's no reason to drink the tea then you got to worry in order for me to be on top of my game and play R Noels Battlegrounds I need at least three cups of coffee God knows we're on top of our H you can pick up this lovely shirt at level one store that'll that'll you know I don't know AI is also doing brain scans now this one is they're predicting autism based on infant brain scans so I wonder what the AI is seeing in the brain scans CU this one's also working really well well this was another machine learning so they took all these infant brain scans that they had and fed it through and they were like here's who turned out to have autism again amazingly accurate now this one is better at telling you that your child will not have autism 100% successful but of course you know that's like I don't know what percentage have autism so it's like probably pretty easy to be like oh yes this one's fine but in the ones that it was worried about I think like 80% of those turned out to be yes so another incredibly accurate AI now this one is terrifying in terms of insurance yeah because when you're born you might get a red mark next to your name it's like nope we're not touching this one man that's just there's so many dystopian things you can come up with because you know you can get an infant's DNA you know in in utero I guess or in vitro or I don't know what that is but before they're born and uh being able to read their DNA before they're born you know even if you're not manipulating the DNA is like oh no this one's not good enough reject let's let's try again it's funny you mention that because uh we never covered it but in Finland they just celebrated that a 0% Down syndrome births wow and that's not because nobody had a you know conceived a child with Down Syndrome it's that they are that good at finding it now and they terminated all those pregnancies wow but a lot of people are arguing it's like well you're kind of euthanizing people with Down syndrome and it's like isn't that a good thing I I don't know if yes me it is but at the same time are people with Down Syndrome not happy you know they seem happy some of them so these are probably more difficult questions new technology this above our pay grade but it's the same kind of thing like we have the ability to stamp these things out but do we have the authority well ping gears GameStop apparently had malware on their servers for like a year yeah if you're a console pleb and you've been playing console games instead of player unknowns Battleground which is the only game to play then uh you might want to check your email GameStop might have let you know that your identity's been stolen I remember when Gamestop had a PC game section pepp Farms remember I remember when any game store had anybody other than steam sold PC games GameStop was a great place to get the Lucas film games Lucas Arts games or what whatever those were really like Point click Adventures I always had you know one that I hadn't played I was like oh I'll save up and get that one but yeah nope no more and malware yeah there was wasn't there one guy that had gotten like six or seven I I found a different story that uh it was like one guy that had six or seven credit cards in a year and it turned out that it was GameStop because he bought stuff from Gamestop every week and it's like who is stealing my credit card every time it was GameStop wow so yeah that was that was neat traditional Sports have an Esports problem according to this yeah turns out Millennials there's a lot of uh did you see McDonald's released a report and it's like why is McDonald's doing bad and they're like it's the Millennials they won't eat our food well the Millennials is also it turns out they don't really watch Regular Sports actually they do but as opposed to earlier Generations it is a 11% or 12% abstain 40% and 48% split between Esports and Real Sports I've never I I know some people that are like really huge basketball fans and I've never understood the the behavioral display there when whenever like the basketball stuff is going on like I just I don't get it it's like why are you dis excited about this I don't do that with Esports either but it's just like yeah I I don't I haven't gotten into Esports at all but I'm not crazy about regular Sports I now both I can see the appeal of like watching a competition there is something a little bit entertaining I mean I'll watch football and basketball and be like hey that's an impressive thing those people are doing and I'll watch DOTA and I'll be like oh wow look what they did that's impressive I don't care but I can respect it I guess I don't know I see things on TV and those people like you can take it too far well no I'm not talking about the fans okay I'm talking about the players I like how here's my favorite thing about sports fanaticism it's like you don't like sports so you're gay but so the person telling me this has another man's name written across his back well maybe we can rely on Apple to tell us what's objectionable from now on because they're doing that you think Apple prefers Esports I think Apple prefers whatever makes the money I think Esports probably no I guess you would never esport there is no esport that takes place on Apple is there uh wow that's something for you right that might be changing because they're they're getting a graphics card worth a damn in the iMac so maybe we'll see yeah but young kids coming up in the eorts scene it's like I don't have any money I got to put together a machine I ain't going to be buying apples no scrapyard Wars for the you know like scraping together an iMac maybe a Hackintosh but I don't think that would be tournament legal play Starcraft Starcraft 2 was available for Max that was the last good game available for Mac I think but yeah this story is uh kind of depressing of course uh was it two weeks ago we learned of the death of poor Pepe the Frog oh yeah we haven't even told people what what apple is helping us out with it's uh Pepe is banned from the Apple App Store so you can't have applications that feature Pepe actually Apple did a whole bunch of revisions to the App Store um one of the other things that they revised in apps is now developers must use the iOS API for calling to ask for a rating because a lot of apps were uh so shall we say aggressively asking for a rating which helps Drive the rating up in the in the rankings in the the App Store and so now you if you're going to do that you have to use Apple's API and they can keep an eye on how often your application is doing that and how aggressively and control it yeah so the Pepe game they felt that Pepe represents you know racism or whatever he's political extremism now this app did you look at the app the app is hilarious the app is about the the the re the Pepe so the autistic screeching so you have to scream at your phone to control Pepe and up a little bit the point system is tendies chicken tendies well this is a work of art that is being suppressed I mean is this is this what we have really come to as a society that we must suppress certain kinds of artwork this is this is a this is a masterpiece now I would like to call out to forchan and the people cuz no don't invoke the forch I'm I'm not saying I'm not asking them to do this I'm giving them a an idea cuz Pepe you know they did that sort of as a joke it's like could we really get Pepe turned into a horrible alt R like could we make him a character of hate and they could the answer is yes so I would say start using the Apple logo hey if you could get that turned into a an hate icon can you imagine how great that would be or Tim Cook caricature oh there's a lot of ways you can go with that I'm not you know be creative but I'm just saying they're insanely creative well that brings us to the end of another episode of the news this is not good we we're ending on a note involving for CH this is not good very bad I mean more get if you're an app developer count your points and tendies that is genius look at that look how hilarious that is I don't even so yeah and screaming re at your phone now if you see somebody screaming re at their phone on the subway you know what they're playing well but they're not playing it's not you can't get it I wonder if it's going to be like like uh Flappy Bird or some of those other games where you could buy a phone that had that app pre-installed from before it was banned and they go for like $10,000 on eBay or maybe you think Google Play would take it probably I don't think Google Play cares I'm sure you could get it on Steam yeah steam green light you have to have a good microphone though yeah well we'll see you next week yep see you\n"
