Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The END of Facebook?”.
Yeah, I know you want me to do tech news, but if I do that, then you’ve won. ( gentle music ). Ah I can’t say no to that face. Look, at’em they’re, so cute.
[, Guy ] Little chonker., ( laughter, ) Facebook has undergone scandal after scandal. The past couple of years, but this week the company may face its largest reckoning ever thanks to the Facebook papers, a trove of leaked external documents that expand on and add to the issues brought up by the now infamous whistleblower and certified bad-ass Frances Haugen. She’s.
So infamous, I still don’t know how to say your name: though. [ Guy ], The Haugen, The Haugen. The papers describe Facebook, suppressing an internal integrity team trying to limit the spread of harmful content on the platform.. There’S a story about Facebook, failing to remove human trafficking groups after a BBC investigation and only succeeding after apple threatened to ban them from the app store and there’s much more.
We don’t have time to cover., But Facebook’s troubles don’t end there, because an antitrust lawsuit filed against Google last year has been fully unredacted. Revealing claims that Google and Facebook colluded to manipulate the online advertising market surprise, surprise assuring their dominance over other ad bidding platforms. [. Guy ], What are Coke and Pepsi doing Hey? What about the small pops? Well, they don’t call them pops. Sodas, we’re Canadians., [, Guy ], Mom and Pop pop shops.
( laughter ). So if you weren’t looking forward to spending time with your family over the holidays, at least, there will probably be some juicy testimonies before Congress to watch ( soft laughter, ), Politics. CSPAN gets me going. In other leak, focused news that is significantly less scandalous. Videos depicting what looked like the rumored Oculus Pro headset have been posted on Reddit.
[ Guy ]. Ah Zuch’s back. Zuch never went away.. The videos look similar to the introductory ones shown when firing up a standalone Quest headset for the first time.
And the headset itself. In the videos looks a lot like a prototype that Facebook VP of VR Andrew Bosworth, [ Guy ], we call him Boz.. The Boz. showed up on Twitter recently.. Like the Quest it looks like this. Headset operates wirelessly and without requiring a connection to a PC with a dock nearby for charging the strapless controllers. Sounds sexy.. [ Guy ] Live on the dangerous side, throw it at any time..
If it’s for it’s for pros they’re not going to be flailing their arms around like fools., If these leaks are legit, Facebook could give us a look at the Oculus pro on October 28th during their Oculus connect conference., And that just reminded me that Facebook owns Oculus.. Damn it, This is dumb news.. I don’t want to see this headset. Tesla has been testing out a beta version of its full self-driving feature but, as you may have already worked out, putting beta and self-driving into the same sentence is kind of uncomfortable because only alphas drive cars.
Elon Musk has admitted That the beta software has some issues resulting in it being pulled., Specifically It’s having problems with left turns., Very Zoolander-esqe problem there., While some users have said that they’re getting false collision warnings, although it’s obviously good that these issues are being spotted in beta, as opposed to A final release: I have to wonder about releasing a beta publicly to people who are, you know, actually driving [ Guy ] In school zone., The kids, no Think of the children. Now it’s time for quick bits brought to you by Manscaped provider of all-in-one grooming tools that have you covered from head to toe. [ Guy ], But mostly the balls.

Did you forget about’em, Aww, okay lets go lets. Do it. Leaked benchmarks make it look like Intel’s 12th Gen Alder Lake processors are going to arrive real soon with some banging performance. ( awkward noises ). Never let me on Tik TOK., A CPU Z benchmark was spotted showing the core i5-12600k beating a Ryzen 5 5600X by nearly 50 % in a multi-threaded test., Something that team Ryzen is usually better at. [ Guy ], Not anymore., [ Riley ], that’s even more exciting! Thanks to the 12600K having four lower powered efficiency cores, which you think would drag it down., But don’t judge a core by its efficiency. Designation.. I’Ve met some pretty powerful small cores and they were really nice too [ Guy ], Big PP core.. You ever been in a small core neighborhood Intels fight with AMD may be going strong, but team, blue and red do agree on one thing. [ Guy ] Team, Purple., They’re merging.. Both companies CEOs have predicted that the current chip shortage will last all through next year And finally, let up.
In 2023., The news comes as Intel’s latest earnings report show poor laptop sales that were caused by you guessed it. The aforementioned chip shortage and not AMD laptops. Being really good That couldn’t ( mumbling ), There’s no way. X-Box players, looking for more storage will have a new expansion option come December.
A 2 terabyte drive that costs more than an Xbox series S, or at least that used to be true.. The NBME drive will go for $ 400, supposedly, which is even more egregious considering you can get a non-X-Box specific one for around $ 250.. You know the kind that PS5 would support. Bam.
Yeah console, keep it alive. The console war. In other X-Box news. A new update will give you a dashboard that renders natively in 4k a proper night mode and streamlined quick settings., But, more importantly, Nvidia just added GeForce.
Now, support to the edge browser. [ Guy ], Just now, Yeah ( excited noises ) and that runs on X-Box., Meaning you can stream steam games from the cloud on your X-Box.. What even is an X-Box now or X-Box later. [ Guy ], See ya., And if you don’t have enough RGB Razer has a smart face mask to sell you.
That’S right.. Its crazy Zephyr mask from earlier in the year comes with a dual fan: N95 filter system and an app to customize your look., Because nothing says I’m taking the pandemic seriously. Like a light show on your face., I mean I don’t know. [ Guy ], Hey, I’m not trying to get laid., I’m trying to social distance. This tells the world that. Step away.
Potential partners. Stay away. Message: received. The masks Sans filter kits will set you back $ 100., And can you really put a price on safety? I can put a price on continuing this video cause. It’S too damn high.. So come back on Wednesday for more tech, news.. The tech newsatron has to recharge. we’ve been trying to get it fixed for so long.
You can’t just pump it out every day. James .
