Kind: captionsLanguage: enthat's it - it's real - it's been real - the whole time - it's happening what tech news in a way that doesn't suck, of course. You guys I only did it because... because it's sad outside and I feel bad for all of you. Hello and greetings welcome back to Fatah Front Page Tech, of course, the show that gives you all the tech news one geek that is me to another that is you. Happy Wednesday, happy humpday - another day, another day in quarantine town.
Before we get started, I just want to give a huge shout out to Deity Microphones. They actually sent us out like a ton of new audio gear that sounds so much better than the road setup that we had in our studio. They didn't ask me to do this; they didn't pay me; they probably have no idea this is coming, but I just want to give them a shout out for being awesome. Thank you, Deity Microphones - it's going to make a huge difference in the quality of our show.
Also, as I was setting up my new gear, I wanted to take a moment to talk about the current situation with COVID-19 and how it's affecting so many people around the world. It's been a tough few months for all of us, but we're doing the best we can and trying to stay positive. That's why I'm excited to be back on the air again today, sharing some tech news and updates with you all.
Let's get started! Our first piece of news is that Facebook is giving their employees a $1,000 bonus to help them through this tough time. This is a huge gesture of goodwill from Mark Zuckerberg and his team, and it's great to see them taking care of their people. According to various sources, almost 45,000 Facebook employees will be receiving this bonus, which is a significant amount of money that should really help out.
I have to say, I'm impressed by Facebook's move on this one. It's not always easy for companies to give their employees a raise or bonus, especially when it comes to something like a global pandemic. But Facebook is definitely going the extra mile here, and I think it's a great example of how big corporations can come together to support their workers.
Now, let's talk about some other tech news. According to Nine-to-Five Mac, who got a copy of iOS 14 and has been digging through it, we've got some exciting news for iPhone fans out there. It seems that the new iPhone 12 series will have a time-of-flight sensor on the back - this is a feature that was rumored months ago, but now it's officially confirmed.
So, what does this mean? Well, according to Apple, the time-of-flight sensor will allow users to generate three models of their surroundings with just one photo. This technology has been used in some other cameras before, but we're excited to see Apple implement it on their own devices. The possibilities for augmented reality and 3D modeling are endless here, and I'm sure that Apple fans are going to be really excited about this feature.
