Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Ok Seriously This is Big”.
We make these videos in a single day, so saving time is super important, which is why I’m just going to tell you that magical is sponsoring this video and move on. Okay, I’ll tell you more later: don’t worry about it. The United States Department of Justice sued apple on Thursday for monopolizing smartphone markets, which is a bolder and broader claim than even epic games made in their lawsuit. They should have thought of that before they became a video game company instead of a government institution.
The sheer scope of the doj’s complaints make this probably the largest antitrust case since the doj sued Microsoft back in 1998, which led to the company pinky swearing to not be so monopolistic in shoving Internet Explorer down consumer throats. But when you change the browser name to Edge pinky promises, don’t count, that’s playground rules. In a nutshell.
The reason for the doj’s lawsuit is basically summarized by Tim Cook’s. Now classic line buy your mom an iPhone, buy your mom, an iPhone. All right join me or be cast into the piercing void with the rest of your contemptible kind. Unworthy. Scum cook said this in response to a reporter talking about how pictures and videos look like grainy garbage when they’re sent between iPhones and Androids, and it’s even quoted in the doj’s complaint. They also mentioned the IOS app store’s restrictive rules, specifically claiming that Apple blocks super apps, like WeChat, which basically serves as an app platform in itself in China, and they also bring up Hardware incompatibility citing the Apple watch’s lack of Android support.
But that’s apparently not for a lack of trying Apple, told 9 to5 Mac that it spent 3 years investigating whether Android support could be added to Apple watch, ultimately deciding it would never work because of technical limitations, which is so weird. That’S the same reason. My last girlfriend broke up with me pretty much any issue with iOS you’ve ever heard of is cited in this lawsuit and it’s clear. The doj thinks Apple’s Walled Garden approach, isn’t cool anymore. In a statement issued to the Press Apple says the lawsuit threatens who we are and and and yeah yeah. It does that’s kind of the whole point you’re toxic, I’m slipping under.
But for me, the most scandalous part of all of this is that Tim Sweeney can’t even tweet about it until he’s done giving testimony in the Australian epic games versus Apple trial. What does he think if he does tweet it spins the opposite way: neuralink Elon, musk’s brain computer interface, company posted a live stream on Twitter, proving that their first human patient is not only alive. He is killing it at chess. Nolan arbau received the wireless implant in January and can now easily move a mouse cursor with his mind, well enough to play Civilization 6 for 8 hours straight only stopping because he had to charge it now, while this is certainly impressive. Be experts have pointed out that the basic technology here isn’t new. I mean here’s a video from 2007 of a guy controlling a mouse cursor with his mind, academic researchers and startups like synchron and black rock the neurotech company, not the one you’re thinking of have all achieved similar results.
But it’s clear that neuralink is trying to create the iPhone moment for bcis, with its minimalist design and sexy neural threads that get all up inside your brain and have a 300 count and to be fair, it does seem like neuralink has stirred up a lot of Hype thanks in no small part to Elon making claims like this one where he says it’s possible to shunt brain signals, past a spinal injury, so paralyzed people can walk again, which would obviously be awesome, but I’ve also seen a lot of this guy’s rockets explode. So I I just don’t know: Microsoft has hired the CEO and founder of inflection AI, the company behind the popular pie, chatbot to head up its Microsoft, AI division, also hired by Microsoft, most of inflection other 70 employees in what many in the industry are calling an Aqua hire and what a smaller group is calling a h quisition. It’S just me saying that second one, you know what I don’t even like it: Microsoft will also pay inflection $ 620 million to license their Pi models and another 30 million to keep their lips shut about the whole poaching. A whole company thing don’t spread this around in a blog post.
The survivors at inflection referred to the gutting of their company as an important change to how will work, but analyst Tony Wang and everyone else with eyes says this is basically an acquisition of inflection without having to go through regulatory approval. It’S clear that Microsoft, CEO Satia Nadella, is serious about his company’s dominance in AI. In the wake of this story, a quote has gone viral from one of his interviews back in November, when Microsoft was briefly going to hire open AI, CEO, Sam Alman and much of that company’s staff asked about the possibility of open AI folding. Nadela said Microsoft would be fine, because quote we have all the IP rights and all the capability. We have the people, we have the compute, we have the data, we have everything we are in there.
We are below them above them around them. We are the Senate, he didn’t say that last part, but it’s treason. Then now it’s time for quick bits brought to you by magical the company that wants to help you spend less time typing copying and pasting.
That’S time you could use to watch more Tech news or just listen to me, speak until you fall asleep. The magical Chrome extension is 100 % free to download and compatible with some of the most commonly used tools, apps and services like Gmail, LinkedIn and 10 million. More it helps you build customizable message: templates accessible with a simple keyboard. Shortcut magical can even fill in the blanks automatically, so you don’t have to and if you find yourself repeating the same template again and again, magicals AI reply, feature powered by GPT 4 lets. You reply to messages in one click to easily mix things up, so you don’t use the word utilize so much that it loses all meaning utilize utilize it. It feels weird also with magicals transfers feature you can scrape info from up to 10 tabs of pages at once and automatically plop them all onto one centralized spreadsheet, no more tedious, copying and pasting download the magical extension for free using the link below and save some Of your precious time, AMD has announced FSR 3.1, which not only adds substantial improvements to ITS upscaling Technologies, but also greatly expands access to frame generation. The update allows for the decoupling of amd’s frame generation Tech from its FSR 3 upscaling, allowing other upscaling Solutions like nvidia’s, dlss or Intel’s XS to use team Red’s frame generation feature apparently Nvidia, RTX 20 series cards and above are supported, though amd’s upscaling also got some Love FSR 3.1, improves temporal stability and reduces ghosting, which AMD demonstrated using GIFs that are definitely from ratchet and clanked Rift apart and totally aren’t just AI generated clamation. Why are they so small like look how good this looks? What sue you? A nonprofit open- Source Nintendo switch emulator based on the recently defunct Yuzu, released its first build on Wednesday only to have it immediately pulled down by gitlab on the grounds that it’s a fork of a public repo against which we previously received a dmca notice.
Ironic. However, the suyu team says they will still continue the project. The build is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS and they’ve, apparently added several fixes and removed all Telemetry, which is probably a good idea. Given what happened to the last guy, who, Tangled with Nintendo’s, enforcers the those Goombas look not threatening, but at a virtual event, Microsoft unveiled the brand new Surface, Pro 10 and surface laptop 6 for business no, but seriously uh.
If you’re excited about the new arm powered devices, um don’t be for these. These products use Intel Core Ultra chips, which are still new. The rumored Snapdragon X, Elite notebooks won’t be coming until May, but it might be worth the wait. Qualcomm claims most Windows Games should just work on their processors. You know what else Works co-pilot before announcing the new Surface devices, Microsoft rehashed all of their ai’s greatest hits Like a Rolling Stones concert. If no one wanted to listen to The Rolling Stones. How’ I get a ticket Apple’s M series. Chips have an unpatchable side, Channel vulnerability, allowing attackers to extract encryption keys from Max a team of researchers from multiple universities.
Detailed an attack called go fetch, which uses an app that doesn’t require any root access to the Target. Mac only the same user privileges needed by most thirdparty Mac OS apps. The vulnerability is due to the design of the Silicon itself, so it can’t be patched only mitigated by software defenses that could severely affect performance. I also have an unpatchable flaw that affects my performance.
It’S called depression and security. Researchers say that around 13,000 buildings, predominantly hotels from around the world, are currently vulnerable to an exploit that allows a master key to be created for the entire building, using just an NFC enabled Android device and a key card from that hotel. It can also be used to override dead bolts, so you’re going to want to hope that little chain can hold. This vulnerability affects saff loock locks created by dormakaba, and I swear we’re just now making these Nam. These are all Star Wars.
Names dorak is aware of the issue and have so far replaced or patched 36 % of the affected locks wow. There are no known cases of this exploit being used in the wild. This is very much a horror we have uncovered for ourselves in captivity. Much like the Zony, the Unholy offspring of a zebra and a donkey, that’s Jessica’s, fun fact: fun, horror for the day and you’ll uncover more Tech news. If you come back on Monday for another episode of TechLink might have to might have to dig a little bit, but just kidding you know, we just give it right to you just big into archaeology right now, just .
