Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Apple, this is ridiculous.”.
Here it is guys you’re here for it. This is the tech, noise, tech, noise, tech, noise, that’s right in the tech noise today, apple unveiled the iphone 13 13 mini 13 pro and 13 pro max without mentioning the lightning port, even once most likely out of shame. They know what they did. The whole lineup has a 20 smaller notch and bigger batteries with the lower tier phones, getting hand-me-down cameras from last year’s iphone 12 pro max to help with the new cinematic mode, aka autofocus, but with ai this time the 13 pro models got slightly fancier cameras with Support for pro res video, recording that’s pretty sweet and a new one terabyte model to store all of that sizeable footage.
It should be noted, though, that the 128 gig pro model can only do 1080p 30 because, presumably of storage limitations, heaven forbid they just put an expansion slot on it. The pro models also now have an adaptive 120 hertz pro motion display but come on. Would you rather have that for a thousand bucks or the new ipad mini, which has the same a15 bionic chip, 5g pencil support and freaking usbc for 650, i mean it’s, the big phone apple should have made for same apple. There was also an updated, 9th gen ipad and the new apple watch series 7 featuring a bigger screen and a nice swipe keyboard that was almost certainly copied from an accessibility, app called flick, type that apple forced to shut down, not long before. Yesterday’S event: that’s not anti-competitive. Those guys could they could just make their own smart watch. Speaking of competition, xiaomi released some compelling products to compete with apple in the form of the xiaomi, 11t and 11t.
Pro complete with fast processors. Super fast charging, 120hz display 5. 000 milliamp hour batteries and 108 megapixel main cameras launching these the day after apple’s event was already going to draw some comparisons, but the new pad 5 made sure of it. It’S an android tablet that not only looks very much like an ipad. It might also be a decent android tablet, which that feels just what xiaomi also one-upped facebook this week with the announcement of its smart glasses, which apparently have an optical waveguide display in the right lens.
In addition to cameras mounted on the arms i mean, did you see this tim apple xiaomi is pulling ahead because you guys won’t put usbc on your phones, they can play fortnite on the glasses come on tim. Facebook is probably content to let xiaomi steal their smart glasses spotlight, though, thanks to a report from the wall street journal that found that studies conducted by instagram concluded that the social media platform almost certainly contributes in some way to higher levels of anxiety and depression. In teens, the report criticizes the facebook-owned platform for knowing about the study’s conclusion since 2019, but not making them available to the public. In response, instagram said that the studies were proof that they were trying to understand the effects their platform has on teens and isn’t that good enough? No, you just you just don’t you just don’t understand me, i’m running away, and this time i mean it in an apparent effort to get in front of similar criticism. Tick tock has now rolled out warnings that will appear in front of potentially distressing content, which teens will definitely pay attention to uh.
Also, a separate wall street journal report identified millions of vip facebook users that were allowed to break the platform’s rules with no consequences because of their follower accounts. So you know the right thing to do come over to twitter, which is the super mentally healthy social media. App yeah we’re great now it’s time for quick bits brought to you by storyblocks and its massive library of stock footage images, audio and after effects templates, which we use in almost every techlinked episode, because it’s great and also we don’t know how to take the camera Off the tripod it just got stuck. I don’t want to talk about it. Storyblocks recently launched the restock initiative to make content that more accurately reflects our world, so they’ve hired new bipac and lgbtqia plus filmmakers to create authentic stock content depicting underrepresented communities. They’Ve got affordable subscriptions with unlimited video and audio downloads, so check out storyblocks today at storyblocks.com techlinked, and we’re back quick banks nutritious and ready in just one. Second, by the time this video goes live, spacex will have probably already launched the first private flight to space crewed entirely by private citizens, not currently affiliated with the military or a space agency. Like nasa, i mean yeah, richard branson and jeff bezos flew sub-orbital flights that lasted a few minutes, but these people will be orbiting the earth for three days, hopefully raising 200 million dollars for st jude children’s hospitals in the process from from the humans on earth. That’S where the money will come from, i’m pretty sure that they don’t think they’re going to find money in space, but i’ve never been up there so to say: there’s that asteroid! That’S like worth trillions of dollars! Microsoft is now allowing you to ditch the password on your microsoft account completely. Instead, microsoft will let you use the microsoft authenticator app on your phone windows, hello or a physical security.
Key to sign in this is honestly great because passwords suck every password it sucks mine mine, is all numbers and special characters. It takes like 14 minutes to type it sucks. That sounds good after requiring apple to allow third-party payment options in the ios app store.
The country which country has now turned its sites on google fining the tech giant 177 million us dollars for abusing its mobile dominance by suppressing forks of the android operating system. Imagine south korea caring about a google, not allowing forks of the android operating system gee. I wonder where that criticism came from.
Excuse me. It’S only the latest development in the antitrust craze, that’s sweeping the globe. I mean all the cool kids are talking about monopolies. These days, there’s there’s tick-tock dances about breaking up facebook for crying out loud four years after its launch, nintendo seemingly remembered that the nintendo switch has bluetooth, so they have finally released an update enabling support for bluetooth audio, although some users are experiencing.
No, you know what i will talk about this later nintendo. You can update things mario party for the switch great game, lots of fun lots of fun, but but there’s no way to turn off the tutorial. When you play the board game, you have to sit through the tutorial. Every no time me finish, you have to sit through it every time, no matter, if you know the rules and there’s these long animations, i just want to play the board game. It stretches out to take twice as long just make them skippable nintendo.
Now some users are experiencing some glitches, including audio delays and slow boot times after receiving the update. So maybe there was a reason: nintendo didn’t enable the feature up until now, but hey uh, doing it out of spite. Also wouldn’t really be out of character for them and vr is fine, but you have to stand up or at best sit down to play.
It come on give me a vr headset, like the half dive, which is the world’s first vr system, designed to be used while lying down. Yes, this is probably going to be used for sexy vr things, but it could also be really good for people with disabilities who otherwise aren’t able to enjoy vr either way, looks like an incredible way to fight back against the idea that vr games are also going To be exercise even just a little bit of it, because it’s terrible there should be no exercise at all, and it would be wrong to continue this episode. So come back on friday for more tech noise, don’t worry, these are dead. These are dead.
Will we include the mario party bit, i don’t know .
