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

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
