Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The EU is KILLING YouTube!?”.
Uh check it out check, check, check, check, check, guys it’s me hosting today. Can i get another box or something hey, that’s better and now for the tech news youtube. Ceo susan wojcicki has warned video creators that the european union’s copyright directive, a wide-ranging legal proposal currently under consideration by the european parliament, would have terrible ramifications for independent creation. That’S us independent creators. The controversy surrounds article 13 of the proposed legislation, which would require that all online platforms, including youtube. That’S us again, floatplane that all online platforms automatically block content that may be copyrighted, and if a copyright violation were to occur, the platform itself would be liable rather than the user. Wachiski writes that this would essentially force youtube to only accept uploads from a small number of large companies, as it would be too risky to allow just anyone to upload anything as long as youtube has to be on the hook for any legal damages. That scenario could actually destroy the independent content creator. Industry now, of course, youtube already uses their content id system to address copyright infringement proactively, but the copyright directive would hold them liable to someone else which means money lost and there it is. It all comes down to money, doesn’t it here? I thought good old shoes you know was looking out for us. I thought yeah. Well, no, i mean she she’s she’s right. This is bad for youtube, bad for creators and, quite frankly, bad for the consumer.
So, let’s all hope and or take action to ensure that the eu doesn’t pass the proposal, at least with its current wording when they vote on it. In january, other google news they’re channeling the spirit of apple apple’s, not dead, so they’re channeling, the the the the the the the soul of apple yeah, that’s true with some closed ecosystem, hijinks related to wireless charging on the new pixel 3 and pixel 3 xl reports Emerged yesterday that the new phones were charging at only 5 watts on third-party wireless charging pans pans, that’s coming in the future. Just a pen, you throw all your stuff in it it just all.
Charges like magic, it’s gon na happen, while charging could reach 10 watts on the official google pixel stand while the qi wireless charging standard does support up to 15 watts. Google has now confirmed that the pixel, 3 and 3xl support qi charging, but they only support it up to 5 watts, and if you want to charge it 10, you need the pixel stand which uses google’s proprietary wireless charging standard which they made specifically for these phones. Yeah and that’s isn’t that’s not even the only issue that users are having with the pixel 3s there’s a bug preventing photos from saving correctly complaints about excessive vibration from the speakers? Okay, i can’t say i’ve experienced that one and a random side notch appearing on the display on the xl.
You see people. This is why we can’t have nice things. This is what happens when you pre-order yeah. You did this. I’M talking to google right now, not not our viewers, they didn’t do this. They just enabled it and speaking of phones and notches, these two things may soon be a thing or two things of the past. After leaks pointed to samsung working on a number of under display technologies, the company has teased the a8s an all-screen phone at the launch event for the galaxy a9s in china. What the? What those are the model numbers? I don’t know why they’re seemingly working backwards with their naming schemes, i mean that’s actually worse than what apple did going from seven to eight to x, they’re working their way down to one okay. Whatever, meanwhile, honor is teasing their magic 2 phone, which hides the front-facing dual cameras behind a slider and then xiaomi’s me mix three will use a similar design so next year, my friends next year is going to be the year of no notches. Yes, yeah and there’s something in the script about ding dong. The notch is down they’re going to make me sing the song and it’s time for big quits brought to you by updesk. Do you find yourself sitting a lot during the day? Well, here’s some bad news sitting has been coined the smoking of our generation.
Besides, i mean you know, smoking lots of our generation smokes anyway. There’S good news. Opdesk offers a ton of sit, slash, stand solutions like desktop workstations, full desks and even fancy words like ergonomic accessories. We’Ve actually got a bunch of them here at linus media group, and actually almost everyone uses the sit-stand functionality so so check them out at the link. In the video description, just in case, it’s not updesk.com, i don’t even know the co-founder of oculus brendan aribe uh, sure, that’s not how you pronounce that is leaving facebook after news broke, that the company had cancelled the next gen version of the oculus rift vr headset, Which isn’t to say that oculus isn’t making more rift headsets? It’S just that the current version they were working on the rift 2, so to speak, was cancelled, so brendan’s leaving seems like a bit of an overreaction. Maybe, although his exit does follow on the heels of the exodus of co-founders of instagram and whatsapp, so maybe it’s just crappy to have a lizard person for a boss. I don’t know, i don’t know, what’s it like for you, smart glasses might be making a comeback. Maybe well, they are if north the company, formerly known as thalmic labs, has anything to say about it. They’Re launching smart classes called focals that look like regular glasses. Instead of a bad attempt at cyborging yourself, it’s cyborg, i’m not sure. Speaking of wearables mobvoi has announced the 200 tick watch classic 2 or c2. Take your pick. It runs google’s, wear os now, instead of their own android based system with nfc included, but it’s running the last gen snapdragon aware 2100 chip making it still probably one of the best android smart, watches out there, but that’s not really saying something: wow, it’s a slow News day, htc’s buzzword, worthy blockchain phone, the exodus 1 is now up for pre-order. This is news complete with its own cryptocurrency called blatant cash. Excuse me uh zion uh, but you can only purchase it with cryptocurrency, which is 0.15 bitcoins, 478 ether tokens or that equates to 960 us dollars worth you know, htc. We can google how much that converts to in real money.
That’S a lot! That’S a lot! Finally, apple and samsung have been fined by italy for allegedly releasing software updates that slow down old phones on purpose in order to force users to upgrade to a newer model. Samsung has denied the allegations and, interestingly, the last release of ios actually sped up the performance for a lot of older iphones, so italy is going to have to prove that this actually happened. This might just be a ploy for our attention like italy. Italy’S all like, like is anyone looking at us, yeah we’re the boot one. Well, that’s it for the tech news today, uh wednesday october, the 24th, but don’t worry, there’s lots more days left and hopefully some of them are better. That was boring.
What is terrible news? Crypto phone, no, are you for real one, quick bit yep, i mean well. The main news like the first news topic was just awful. What do you want? It was depressing yeah. This show is supposed to be fun. I didn’t have fun, hey .
