Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Amazon offers $25 for your NUDES!?”.
Oh, my goodness, have you guys seen the tech news today right yeah, so SpaceX has finally managed to get their first bundle of StarLink satellites into orbit after two launch attempts we’re delayed by weather after the Falken nine rocket carrying the satellites released them into orbit. It landed safely on the of course. I still love you drone ship back on earth. The 60 StarLink satellites were then released and slowly drifted away with no observable deployment mechanism, so it might have worked well we’re gon na find out soon, because the satellites are meant to deliver high-speed Internet, and these initial 60 are hopefully going to be part of a Network of 800 to 12,000 satellites, once it’s fully built out, that is a lot of space satellites and that’s that doesn’t even mention the competing satellite systems being developed by Telus at one web and a host of other companies. I swear if the aliens ever do come here like they’re gon na have to l beat their way through the atmosphere.
First now, a big draw for early snapchat users was privacy as the app features time-limited self-destructing messages, but the company is in hot water for allegedly allowing its employees to breach the privacy of its users. Two former employees told motherboard that multiple parties within the company abused internal tools that gave them access to user data, including user locations, saved photos and videos. Phone numbers and email addresses. One of these tools called snap Lyon, is used by snap to collect data on users to comply with valid requests from law enforcement, because everyone knows that lions are the cops of the animal kingdom.
Now such tools are common in tech companies and snap has responded denying the accusations of spying, but this is just yet another reminder that, however private you might, your data is, if you’re giving it to a company, a human probably has eyes on it at some point And you just don’t know where those eyes have been speaking of not knowing about your data and eyes. Looking at things, the consequences of the u.s. Huawei ban continue to expand with the company now being kicked out of the SD Association, the body that controls the standards related to SD cards and ports. Wow, that’s like being kicked out of like the cheerleading squad, except for giant nerds boo most.
So what this means is that Huawei will no longer be able to produce devices with ports for SD or micro SD cards with that said, this might not be that the deathblow that some people have been waiting for, because the Chinese tech company has been slowly introducing Their own nano memory format, which uses modules that are smaller than micro SD for a couple of years now, Huawei has also been temporarily restricted from working with the Wi-Fi Alliance and J deck which set standards for Wi-Fi and semiconductors respectively. Now, while we will reportedly still be able to use those standards, but they will not be able to contribute to them, so it’s like they can come to the meeting, but they can’t speak wha. Wait! Wha, wait, look.
Are you guys gon na stop spying? Ok? Well then, now it’s time for quick bits brought to you by story blocks video where you can get the footage backgrounds and After Effects templates, you need with a low-cost subscription. Being a Video Creator can take a lot of your time and a lot more out of your wallet well story blocks. Video helps you bring your creative vision to life faster, while also helping you to keep your cash, nice and safe in the bank.
We use it here on tech link constantly. In fact, you probably already saw a few story blocks video clips in this episode. We right shoot and edit all in one day, so speed and quality is crucial to me not getting murdered by Dennis for taking too long to get the script ready. So it really comes in handy to learn more about story.
Video click, the link below onto the blip Adeeb lops nvidia has released a teaser for some kind of g-force product with super in the title or on the product itself. It could be a supercharged and super expensive new variant of the r-tx 20 80 TI. It could be a new Nvidia shield, it could be a superior vena cava and we only just saw the first part. It’S it’s a blood vessel.
No, it’s part of the heart. I don’t remember it doesn’t matter. The point is: we’re probably gon na find out next week at Computex Nvidia, you guys are such teases. How will I wait speaking of teasing? Would you T’s Amazon with a scan of your nearly naked body for a $ 25 gift card? Well, if you would head to New York, because the company is collecting data for internal product research, Willis, which will it’s ostensibly be used to develop clothing that will fit people’s bodies better seems credible enough.
But then, when you hear that Amazon is also preparing a wearable device that allows Alexa to read human emotions, it starts to sound more and more, like Amazon has been taken over by an AI, that’s trying to learn more about us humans so that it can destroy Us it’s that worth a $ 25 gift card. Well, I guess it depends. What’S on sale, kind of prime add-ons, they got Google’s duplex. It’S supposed to use a I to call businesses on the phone for you, but the company told the New York Times that about 25 % of duplex calls start out with a human on the other end. The Times also reported that, in their own tests, a real person finished, the booking in three out of four duplex calls. So I guess what I’ve been saying all along, which is that, if you still can’t figure out how to okay, Google, you know remind me something when I get to a place but like at a certain time.
It probably can’t figure this out, so we probably got a few more years to live before we get murdered by intelligent Boston Dynamics, robots enjoy it and you can enjoy it by checking out game developer. Panics play date, tiny handheld gaming device with a black and white screen, a d-pad two buttons and, of course, naturally a hand crank. It’S gon na come with 12 indie games when it launches for a hundred and forty nine US dollars early next year, and we really don’t know much about it other than that 2020 may be the year that 2d black-and-white fishing simulator.
Finally, you know really takes off. The Air Force is planning to use the XQ 58 Valkyrie drone made by Kratos defense as an unmanned sidekick for fighter jets that are flown by human pilots as part of a program called Skye Borg. That’S not ominous at all. So the drones would be networked to the manned craft and serve as an AI wingman of sorts which would fly ahead to scout or draw fire from attackers. Now, I’m assuming that these military folks have done their prerequisite.
Research here and watched stealth, the classic bad action movie, starring Jessica, Biel right. I certainly hope so also Independence Day. That’S really important too. Also, according to my research, this episode is now over thanks for watching guys and if you like, the tech news today.
Well, just wait until Monday, cuz, it’s gon na be even better. We actually have no way of knowing that it’s a crystal ball. Okay, seeing into the future, is not magic. .
