Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The EU just KILLED this channel…”.
It’S about time for some tech news, so it’s a good thing that LastPass sponsored this episode. Otherwise it might never have been tech news time at all. Thanks, LastPass love, you! What I don’t love is the fact that the European Parliament just passed their copyright directive legislation. The directive has been argued about for more than two years, with two specific clauses: article 11 and 17 singled out for their potentially disastrous effect on the open Internet.
Article 11 requires platforms to pay for the privilege of posting snippets from and links to, publishers content. So it’s known as the link tax, the updated law, allows short extracts of news articles to be shared freely, but anything beyond a certain limit will be taxed. Article 13, which has been renamed to article 17 in the current legislation, requires users to get licenses for using copyrighted content like photos or videos before uploading it to web platforms like YouTube, Facebook or Instagram.
Those platforms would then be responsible for scanning and blocking all content containing copyrighted stuff in it and they’d be liable and would have to pay fines for any copyright infringement present on their platform. That kind of sucks for both creators and the big guys like Google and Facebook, now the Internet apocalypse hasn’t struck in full. Yet member states of the European Union now have two years to enact laws enforcing the new directive in individual countries and there are some parts of the directive that might improve free expression and better compensate creators for their work in some places. But a lot of people still think this legislation is not acceptable in its current form, although memes and jeff’s are exempt from enforcement, so tech linked may die, but the memes will live odd. Oh post, some memes for me, Huawei is kind of a meme. At this point, but that’s not stopping them from innovating in phone technology, it’s been leaked like crazy already, but yesterday the company officially unveiled the P 30 and P 30 Pro the front has an in display fingerprint reader and a teardrop notch, so no hole, punch or Pop-Up selfie cameras here, and it’s also got a vibrating screen sort of like LG’s recent phones, but the P 30 pros focus is definitely on photography with rear cameras, one of which is capable of five times optical zoom, thanks to an embedded, periscope style, zoom lens Oppo Has been working on a system like this, but the p30 pro appears to be the first such design to make it to market they’re, also making smart glasses, which actually look like they might be stylish and useful gah. It’S so much easier to be suspicious and avoid Huawei devices when their phones aren’t actually good. Stop it Huawei, ah come on and Sony tried their hand at a Nintendo Direct style presentation on Monday, with the company’s first state of play event. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much in the way of video game meat to speak of. We got a celebration of the fact that Sony has sold 4.2 million PlayStation VR headsets in the three years since launch and accordingly, Sony is bringing 25 new VR titles to ps4 in the next few months, including the story driven action, game blood and truth. An Iron Man, VR game and VR versions of five nights at freddys and no man’s sky. We got some trailers for other games as well, but what we didn’t get was teases for new hardware. We basically know the next 5 X boxes that are coming out. What’S going on behind the scenes Sony, I guess you don’t need to leak details when you already cornered the high-end console market got them now, it’s time for quick bits brought to you by LastPass.

But Oppo is hot on their heels, with the Reno Reno, which will apparently have a 10 times optical zoom. If a leaked video is any indication, I can’t help but feel we’re losing the appreciation for super zoom didn’t mean that lose all clarity. I want to zoom in on someone’s face and see a blurry mess, not high-resolution acne. Stop a dentist, stop zooming it. What wait? Stop the eternal battle between Apple and Qualcomm continues as eternal battles do. In one court case, a judge ruled in Apple’s favor saying that the company did not infringe on a Qualcomm patent for a battery saving feature. In another case, a different judge ruled that Apple did infringe on two other Qualcomm patents and that ruling might lead to a u.s.
import ban on certain iPhone models. It just goes to show if you’re gon na switch the company, whose modems you’re exclusively licensing, make sure that you’re not infringing on any patents. Before you make the switch a lesson, I think we can all learn. A soos has released a fix for the shadow hammer backdoor vulnerability that it accidentally distributed through its PC update software. The newest version of the live update, app addresses the flaw, so if you’ve got Asus hardware, make sure you’re updated and then just do a clean. Install of Windows and then move to a cave in the mountains.
It’S the only way to be safe steam has called for some reinforcements in its battle with the Epic Games, Store and Bethesda has answered. The developer has revealed that all of its currently announced an upcoming games will be launching on Steam, as well as the Bethesda launcher, including rage, 2 Wolfenstein Youngblood and cyber violet and doom eternal. Ok, Bethesda probably also need some help after the fallout 76 debacle, but I’m sure steam appreciates it. All the same and xiaomi has demonstrated a 100 watt charger that managed to completely fuel up a four thousand milliamp hour battery in just 17 minutes without exploding day little rice ain’t so little anymore, cuz little because Xiaomi me shot me means little rice and also guess What this episode is over thanks for watching everybody, if you liked it there’s a button for that, and if you want to subscribe, there’s also a button for that we’ll be back on Friday, so see you then now I’m gon na press, the SIA later button great Believe me, .
