- You keep showing up
like you're gonna get tech news or something.
How did you-
How did you get so clever?
That's a smart move.
(mumbling)
(laughing)
Nvidia is officially
giving up on its acquisition of Arm
after almost 18 months
of chasing the smaller company,
which will instead be listed
as a publicly traded company by its owner,
Japanese Conglomerate, Soft Bank.
- [Man] Blasted bang.
- The $66 billion sale
would've been the biggest buyout
of a chip manufacturer in history,
but regulators in the UK and the US,
thought that Nvidia,
with the Arm gem in its gauntlet
would be more powerful than Thanos.
- [Man] Right beside the Blizzard Activision stone.
- That's the one you wanna put in.
Though they weren't able to consummate their relationship,
Nvidia and Arm are still on good terms,
with team green calling Arm,
"The most important CPU
architecture of the next decade."
Yeah. Okay, Nvidia.
Deal's over. Okay.
- [Man] Rip risk.
- Flattery will get you nowhere.
Rip risk?
- [Man] Risk five.
- Risk five?
- See ya later!
- Or Rip Risk the board game?
Samsung held its bajillionth unpacked event today.
- [Man] Just keep finding more.
- It's a huge box.
And announced new phones and tablets,
and a car!
- [Man] Thanks, mom and dad.
- They didn't do that.
That was a joke.
That would've been fun though.
The much leaked Galaxy S22, S22 Plus, and S22 Ultra
are now official,
with the usual upgraded cameras and processors, etc.
But notably,
the S22 Ultra has a night mode for video,
they're calling "nightography"
which looks kind of cool.
And oh yeah!
It has an SPen making it essentially
a Galaxy Note, reborn.
- I love the spen
Spenny-boy.
- And your phone comes with a spen
- [Man] A spen.
It never really made sense
that the Note and the Galaxy
were different product lines anyway,
so this is good.
The Ultra also has a 6.8 inch,
1,750 knit display.
It's gonna outshine the sun!
It'll be available for $1,200 US,
with the S22 and S22 Plus starting at $800,
and a thousand dollars, respectively
with some paired down specs.
Samsung also announced a new tab, S8, S8 Plus,
and S8 Ultra,
which may give iPads a run for their money.
I mean, the iPads don't even have a notch,
and this one does.
That's what I'm looking for in a tablet.
BTS likes it.
You know, dynamite?
- No
(mumble singing)
- And epic games lost its Apple lawsuit
but thanks to a US bill,
now being considered by the Senate,
big-techs reckoning, may now be at had.
The Open App Markets Act was introduced last year,
proposing constraint on certain anti-competitive behavior
by tech giants, like preferencing their own services
or restricting competitors.
And this week, the Senate judiciary committee voted,
20 to two to give it a full vote in the Senate.
Microsoft clearly trying to get ahead
of the regulation, today announced
they'd be following a new set,
of open app store principles,
that will apply to the Microsoft store,
and the next generation marketplaces,
they build for games,
but not the Xbox Store presumably,
because consoles are still special.
There's a little bit of magic in there.
You can see it in the master chief's eyes.

The company that makes those mobile tap-to-pay dongles
because, Cupertino just announced,
iPhones will soon be able to tap
to receive payments as well as send them,
turning every iPhone,
into a mobile payments terminal.
- Are you be in real close to people on the bus?
- What are you doing?
Aw, man, this will be so cool
for the people who go outside.
Everyone knows Google is tracking everything they do
but the tech-giant, thought they'd give you
a reminder of that with, Chrome Journeys,
an upcoming feature that will let you,
type in a topic, and resume your research,
from when you went down a rabbit hole at 3:00 AM,
months or years ago.
This has big,
"I Know What You Did Last Summer" vibes,
but it also seems really useful.
I mean, Wikipedia, it is a hell of a drug.
The UK-based jet laboratory has broken
its own world record, for the amount
of energy it can extract from a fusion reaction.
Scientists were able to produce
59 mega jewels of energy over five seconds,
which is only enough to boil
like 60 kettles worth of water.
But that's a lot of tea.
- What?
- Spill it.
And more importantly,
it means we could have stable fusion
power by as soon as 2050.
Allowing all the rich people
to finally escape the planet.
We'll look after the place.
Don't worry guys.
Bye bye.
High profile, New York, couple,
Ilya Lichtenshein, and Heather Morgan were arrested
by the FBI on Tuesday on charges of laundering
$4.5 billion worth of Bitcoin,
stolen from the hacked,
Bitfinex exchange back in 2016.
- [Man] We got it.
We ladies and gentlemen
- I'm holding it.
How do they do the, the table thing,
where they like lay out out what they got?
- [Man] The exhibits
- In the, yeah, they can't do it.
But what makes things even crazier,
is the fact that Morgan moonlighted
as a surrealist rapper,
going by, Razzle Can- Con,
Razzle Con.
And honestly, I'm not sure whether her stuff
is intentionally bad or not.
I feel like it has to be.
- [Man] I don't speak Klingon.
- Anyways don't steal stuff,
and maybe be careful what radio stations you listen to.
Because as the Seattle Times reports,
the infotainment systems,
in a number of Mazda cars got bricked when
their owners tuned into 94.9 FM, an NPR station
- [Man] That was that planes raffle car.
- Oh my God.
It's the connection.
It's an NPR station that was transmitting
an HD radio signal containing image files,
without extensions.
I think they might have been NFTs.
And that's one more reason to stay away.
- Not even once NFTs, not even once
- Don't even listen to them
but don't stay away from tech linked.
I mean, okay, wait, stay away from one more day
and then come back on Friday for more tech news.
And after that to stay away
- [Man] For two days
- You can figure it's an on and off thing.
Love you.
