This week we are talking about AdBlock plus, we are talking about the lack of major smartwatches
and we are talking about the new community tab on YouTube and a whole lot more this is
Tech Weekly so welcome to this week's show and you can probably hear the generic music
is back because Jesse said that he wanted it back and I think that it kind of sounds
better anyway to be honest but anyway let's get straight into it so let's start off with
Sunday's news Tesla's talking about bringing out a new update where they are going to be
relying a lot more on radar to basically see what's around the car in their autopilot thing
which is basically this thing where it just drives in and out of traffic and stuff on
roads and it avoids cars, well it is supposed to avoid cars and stuff but anyway this should
be coming in a few weeks and they also said that it should prevent 50% of other accidents
too on Monday we learnt that there is actually another streaming service other than Spotify
and Apple... Oh I'm only kidding on Monday we heard that Deezer is going to be able to
share their music with Twitter you are basically going to be able to put 30 second clips on
there so they'll be able to hear the music too but don't think that you are going to
be able to get away with not having a Deezer subscription or whatever, you can only share
30 seconds so you can't put all your tracks on there or anything we also heard that Samsung
is going to be labeling safer Note 7's with an S symbol and this S is going to be next
to the bar code so look for it there Instagram also announce that anyone is going to be able
to filter out certain words in their comments for their pictures so if there is anyone being
rude or anything in the comments like telling them that Android is better than iOS or something
like that then they can filter out those words and stuff like that and yeah this is already
being available on YouTube and I have used it a lot on YouTube so it's great to see it
come to different platforms too The Google VR camera app is also coming to the iPhone
and it's basically creating a 360 panoramic image where you can put your VR headset on
and just look around and see basically what's around you and stuff so you are not going
to be able to look up and down or anything it is just basically a panorama so it is just
around you but yeah I guess that it is still pretty cool, Twitter length revisions are
also coming to Twitter which is great because before they used to make things like usernames
and images which is kind of stupid count towards your Twitter count, your Twitter length count
but now none of that is going to count so usernames aren't going to count videos aren't
going to count, images aren't going to count you are going to be able to put images and
stuff like that and still have a super long Twitter thing (message) well as long as you
consider 140 characters to be super long. On Tuesday the Playstation 4 update went live
that brought HDR, folders and stuff like that so be sure to go ahead and download that and
one of the big stories is that AdBlock Plus is starting to sell adverts which yeah it's
the last person (company) that I would have expected to sell ads how they are framing
the whole thing is that they are saying that they are selling accepticle accepticle...
is that they are selling acceptable ads where basically they are not going to be ads that
have any flashing things or any scams or anything like that they are just going to be just like
normal ads but they are actually these ad people pay them to show the ads so basically
they are hiding ads and then they are asking people to pay them to show their own ads so
you can go ahead and download that if you want and again I don't really condone using
ad blocks but if you don't want to support people then whatever Google also announced
the Chromecast Preview Program which is kind of hard to say but basically what this is
going to do is that it is going to let you try out Chromecast features before they go
out to the public pretty much like any other beta program or whatever so yeah if you want
to sign up to that it is down in the description all the Apple software also released on Wednesday
well excluding the Mac software where basically iOS 10 came out all of that sort of stuff
came out iOS 10 did have a bit of a hiccup when it first came out but all of that is
fixed now so if you want to download that go to about > software (update) on your device
and go ahead and download it YouTube community or what used to be called YouTube backstage
also came out to a few people so it came out to Peter Hollens, it came out to the Vlog
Brothers, it came out to Lilly Singh or ||Superwoman|| it came out to all those people so basically
it is kind of like Facebook on YouTube so they are going to be able to put pictures
they are going to be able to put videos and all that sort of stuff now so these people
have already started posting stuff so be sure to check them out and it has just gotten super
dark in here for some reason Instagram is also letting you save photos from your story,
well kind of, and it is also letting you mute people too so you are basically going to be
able to save pictures as you put them onto your story and you are also going to be save
entire stories but there is one thing that they didn't copy from Snapchat that is that
you can't basically copy (save) each photo one at a time kind of like you can do on Snapchat
so yeah but you can also mute people by long pressing on their name and you can then set
to mute them so they will basically go to the end of the line so you won't see them
Facebook and Twitter are also helping google to get rid of fake news like those annoying
stupid Whatsapp things that say if you don't post this to ten people then they are going
to delete your account or something like that I don't even know what they say they basically
want to get rid of all this fake news which spreads like wildfire on Facebook and Twitter
and stuff so they are doing this thing that they call the First Draft Coalition that has
got Google in it so they are all going to try and work that out together Amazon Echo
has been announced to be released in the UK and Germany so you can go ahead and preorder
that on the websites now so it is going to be coming to the UK on September 28th it is
going to be coming to Germany on October the 26th so you can go ahead and preorder those
now if you want them there is also a white version available for all the countries I
think including the US version and major smartwatches are going to be coming out this year and no
this doesn't mean that smartwatches are dying because I love my smartwatch and lots of people
do it just means that the smartwatch technology isn't quite there yet so they want to basically
skip this year and they are going to put out smartwatches next year because basically they
just want to be able to have better batteries to put in their smartwatches they want to
be able to use it alongside GPS and stuff like that so the companies are going to be
LG Motorola and Huawei so none of those are going to be putting out smartwatches this
year so that is good for me because this is going to be the newest device for an extra
year and yeah but if you want to buy a new one you can't Facebook live is also going
to be coming to the desktop so you have been able to do this on mobile for a long time
now but it has finally come to desktop it is available to some people already a very
very limited number of people but it is going to be rolling out to people over the coming
months I also learnt that Google maps was behind in something I didn't even realise
that they have never actually shown speed limits in their app before whereas apps like
Here Maps and stuff did so now they are going to be bringing speed limits to their maps
but they are not going to be measuring your speed and telling you if you get close to
that limit or whatever like Here Maps does and we learnt that Facebook may be bringing
back public chats to their Facebook apps so these aren't going to be just like group chats
they are basically just going to be basically chats that the public can join in to whether
you are friends with them or not and you are going to be able to just talk about a certain
topic and you are going to be able to share the chat with other people through a certain
link that lets them join into the chat so it could be about anything like apples or
bananas or whatever or I don't know Overwatch or something on Thursday we learnt some pretty
bad news after the iPhone 7 launch we heard that the MacBook Pro may not be getting a
headphone jack and Apple didn't go ahead and say this or anything but they are giving out
this survey that is kind of hinting very much to the fact that they are not going to be
getting a headphone jack because let's face it they are asking people if they want a headphone
jack or not and the thing is even if 100% of them answered that they do want the headphone
jack they are not going to be putting the headphone jack in there have also been some
pretty big pandora updates so Pandora yes is US only for now but basically it is this
thing that lets you build up stations based on a certain artist you can't really listen
to individual songs or anything but you can build up stations and now what they are going
to be doing is they are going to be giving the free tier more skips if they watch video
ads and stuff and they are going to be giving the paid tier which is $5 by the way they
are going to be giving them unlimited skips through the stations and they are going to
let them replay songs a lot and save stations offline and they are doing the offline thing
in a really clever way actually so basically when you go offline they are going to already
have the stations that you listen to the most I think or the last three stations that you
listened to or something automatically downloaded where it will just seamlessly move over to
those downloaded ones you don't even have to set for them to download or anything so
that sounds pretty good swiftkey or a keyboard that you all should be using if you've got
any Apple or Android device pretty much is getting an update so it is going to be using
a neural network now where basically it is just better at predicting words or words that
are going to come after a certain sentence so instead of just relying on the last two
words to kind of know what the next word would be which is usually wrong it tries and sees
the whole sentence and understands what the sentence means and then gives a word based
on that but it is probably a really really good idea so I am looking forward to try it
out over the next few weeks and stuff and see how it is really and Samsung announced
that the Note 7 replacements are going to be coming out September the 21st which is
in two days on Friday iFixit did their annual teardown of iPhones and saw what was inside
the iPhone 7 so they saw what was in place of the headphone jack and all that sort of
stuff I will have the video linked down below and there is also a video for the Apple Watch
2 teardown which is available down in the same place too the Samsung US president also
offered a public apology via the form of video which again is down in the description where
they are basically saying sorry for all that happened and they are just saying for goodness
sake guys please "please, please power it down and return it" on Saturday we got rumours
that Google for Work may be renamed to Google Cloud which I don't know why they want to
do that but whatever so we should know if this is true for sure on September 29th when
there is a Google Cloud event we also heard the very distressing news that the iPhone
7 home button won't work with gloves which I don't see why people are actually bothered
because you can't use the phone with gloves anyway but anyway I am going to leave it at
that point so I hope that you all enjoyed this video if you have any comments about
this video be sure to leave it down below and be sure to tell me if you like how I'm
doing the video this time around so I'll see you all in the next video hope that you all
have a great day bye
