Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Apple v. Epic Games: Nobody Won”.
Did you know that every 30 seconds in america, a tech news happens and you can help by donating just 19.99 at lttstore.com you’ll get a free hat cool three months after the apple v epic games, trial, concluded, judge, yvonne, gonzalez rogers has handed down her ruling in The case, broadly speaking, apple won. What congratulations? Oh you’re, the mac address. Guy shut up. The judge ruled that epic did not show apple, was a monopolist and that they did breach their contract, meaning epic must pay apple 30 of the revenue collected from epic direct payments.
Through fortnite on ios, which is millions of dollars, an apple statement said the court affirmed what we’ve known all along success is not illegal and neither is scanning all your iphone photos. That was part of a different. That’S not part of this, though. That’S a that’s a different thing, but most of the media coverage so far is treating the ruling as a big win for epic, because the judge did find apple in violation of california’s, unfair competition law. So in 90 days, apple must allow apps to include buttons or links to third-party payment mechanisms, but that wasn’t enough of a win for epic, ceo tim sweeney, who tweeted that this was not what they wanted. Apparently, because alternative app stores and in-app third-party payments will still be forbidden on ios, but as the verge points out, it’s still unclear what these alternative payment options will look like, because what is a button really stays yeah? Is it a physical just text? If you push it, i miss morphism or pull it. Sweeney is also probably butthurt after apple rejected, epic’s request to reinstate their developer account, but don’t worry, epic is going to appeal the ruling and this fight will continue for years to come.
Yes, very exciting facebook finally launched its smart glasses yesterday, in collaboration with luxottica they’re called ray-ban stories, and instead of taking the google class approach and making a weird cyborg crystal design as cool as some people thought that was so cool. I tried it out. I was like am i in the year 2021, these are literally just ray-ban sunglasses with two 5-megapixel cameras, a microphone array and open-ear speakers. An led light will turn on to let people know when you’re taking photos or video which can be posted to any social platform.
From the glasses accompanying facebook view app, there’s no heads-up display of any kind, so you won’t see anything but the real world, while you capture the souls of others and imprison them for later consumption by the zuk they’re also 300 u.s. So i don’t know what kind of crazy eventful life you’re living that you need a head-mounted camera. But if you do i mean hey that i’m happy for you, and so is mark yes get out. There feed me experiences. Speaking of slurping up data, a somewhat unsurprising report from propublica says that despite facebook’s claims that they have no ability to see the content of messages or listen to calls that are end to end encrypted. Facebook employs about 1 000 moderators just to review whatsapp messages.
Now facebook says the only messages these moderators see are those that have been flagged by the actual recipient of the message which they might do if they want to report instances of criminal activity or spam. But the simple fact that facebook has the ability to look at these messages and that they do so under certain circumstances is vindication for anyone who switched to signal or telegram out of an abundance of caution. I couldn’t get my friends to switch. I know me neither i’m still using wait.
That’S data, don’t take it a day after propublica’s report whatsapp announced they were also encrypting, whatsapp message, backups, which definitely no one is reading for sure. What report now it’s time for quick bits brought to you by manscape provider of all-in-one grooming tools that have you covered from head to toe, whether you’re, a man or any other type of hair, generating sentient being the manscape performance package? 4.0 kit is designed to make grooming below the waist easy with a lawnmower, 4.0 and other goodies like the crop, preserver and crop reviver sprays to keep things fresh.

Now the bits wait for no man or horse amazon is expanding. Its u.s workers benefits to include full college tuition for the more than 750 000 operations. Employees at the company employees will be eligible for the perk after 90 days of employment, and then they’ll just have to figure out how to squeeze in classes between grueling ships. Moving boxes of bottled urine around in the warehouse thanks amazon, but don’t think about that too long, because another really cool thing amazon is doing – is opening up its luna cloud gaming service to prime members for six days. Also, almost we it’s been pretty close to a week, guys also you can only play four games. The trial comes along with new luna features such as a co-op mode that can be played with non-luna subscribers, okay and support for chromebooks and fire tablets, but luna is still only available in the mainland us and nowhere else – and this has still not gotten the image Of pee bottles out of my brain, but that’s an ongoing thing with me.
That’S just don’t worry about that. Australia has passed another piece of landmark legislation, this time, a surveillance bill that will give law enforcement, the ability to access, delete or even modify the online data of anyone. That’S a suspect in an investigation.
This is kind of scary, but also is this the key to getting a twitter edit button? Yes, can we can we message the can we get that we work that into this somehow texas has passed a new law for bidding social media platforms with more than 50 million users from banning people based on their political viewpoints, which seems reasonable as long as your Viewpoints, don’t include calls to burn down the library, because one of the books spoke to you. In a literal sense, critics expect the law to be challenged by a federal judge, which is what happened to florida’s law banning the deplatforming of politicians, although that one did have an exemption for disney world. So i don’t know you do the math there? Oh, and did you see all those cool games during sony’s playstation showcase david? Did i mean star wars? Knights of the old republic is getting a remake on ps5 and pc. My childhood is that excited. There was a trailer for insomniac spider-man 2 and a teaser for a wolverine game for spoken, formerly known as project atheia, is also coming to both ps5 and pc, and looks like a doctor, strange game, but less cringe than that would be he’s. Got a god of war ragnarok on a trailer, that’s obviously going to be decent and best of all. Gta 5 is continuing, skyrim’s legacy of being re-released. So many times it’s like.
Why do you even keep doing this? Everyone has wanted who wanted to play? It has already played it already, so i’m pretty excited tokyo, the racing game. Yes, okay, jonathan is fulfilling the car enthusiast segment of the the population right now, i’m even more excited to sleep very soon. So come back on monday for more tech news. I would very much like to see you again.
I think we’ve got something special here. Jonathan, can you leave us alone for a second .
