(buzzing)
- No explanation just--
- [Man] What?
- (buzzing)
- [Man] What's?
- AMD launched new RYZEN 3 CPUS last week,
the 3100 and 3300 X.
And while they were both well received,
the 3100 has been getting some extra attention.
Taiwanese Overclocker (tinkling),
this name,
was able to push his RYZEN 3 3100 up to 5.92 Gigahertz,
using liquid nitrogen
and he wasn't the only one making an attempt.
Steve from Gamers Nexus, Tech Jesus as we call him,
got his unit running at up to more than 5 Gigahertz as well.
- [Man] It's a miracle.
- But it turns out the chip is a decent
overclocking candidate, without LN2 as well.
PC Gamer magazine, the publication,
they got their CPUs performance
to within a sliver of the 3300X's,
Stock performance that is,
just using the included Wraith stock cooler.
Maybe the fact that these chips are so great
will make us forget that AMD is screwing up
their promise of backwards compatibility right now,
except that I just reminded you so, so, sorry AMD.
- [Man] You got the pitchforks I guess.
(grunts)
- They took our compatibility (laughs).
Microsoft and Intel are working together
to classify and attack malware by rendering it as an image.
Gobbly Gook (claps),
because you can't hit what you can't see, okay?
The collaboration is called,
STAtic Malware-as-Image Network Analysis, or STAMINA,
and it involves converting binary file code into pixels,
which are then used to compose an image,
which is then scanned by a neuro-network
for traces of malware infection,
which is then reported to your wife,
because you've been a bad boy.
- [Man] Oh, oh
- You can get it from a toilet sit.
If that sounds wacky, you are right, it is,
but sometimes wacky works because STAMINA has demonstrated
over 99% accuracy in classifying malware
with a false positive rate of just 2.6%,
although it does better with smaller files than larger ones.
It really gives a new meaning to the power of visualization,
just imagine what a virus looks like,
and then you can defeat it.
Try it with me now.
(lighthearted music)
Urgh.
- [Man] Urgh.
- Gross.
- And the vulnerability has been discovered in Thunderbolt,
that could allow evil maids, maids?
- [Man] Yep.
- To hack your PC in five minutes, (claps).
Let me explain, the flaw has been named Thunderspy
by the researchers that discovered it,
because hackers could use it to rewrite
your PC's Thunderbolt firmware, and steal your data
even if it has an encrypted hard drive.
A hypothetical evil maid attack,
could involve someone gaining access to your laptop
in your hotel room, removing the back plate,
using a pre-made device to inject new firmware,
and closing your laptop back up,
with you being none the wiser.
And then that maid just goes and gets a better job,
because clearly they are very adapt at IT.
- [Man] Oh, man.
- No offense to maids, huh.
Well, it's been said
because the attack requires prolonged physical access
to a PC, some ready users are pointing out
that it's not that dangerous,
but if you're more scared of evil maids now
than you were already, you can use the spy check tool,
to see if your machine is vulnerable.
- [Man] My nightmare.
- I am not tipping.

- Quick bits?
Oh, never.
(laughs)
- Hackers man, they're crazy (groans).
And the latest evidence of this
is the hacking group, ShinyHunters
who has published a database of over 72 Million
compromised user accounts, I'm probably in there.
The accounts are from some lesser known sources,
like dating site Zoosk, photo book maker, Chatbooks,
and various smaller newspaper, and E-commerce websites.
I'm definitely on there.
Its unfortunate but sure, Zoosk,
they're kind of asking for it.
- [Man] What's Tinder?
(laughs)
I want Zoosk.
(laughs)
- Hey, swipe up on me (laughs).
What a meat market, this is a real Zoosk.
Microsoft has announced they will be repairing
Surface Laptop 3 displays after numerous reports sprung up,
claiming the laptop screen will spontaneously
develop hairline cracks.
I know the feeling.
The company says its determined that,
in a small percentage of display, okay,
a hard foreign particle can cause a fracture.
Did Microsoft just make a dick joke?
That's what she said?
I don't know or they are just talking about like,
getting a rock on your laptop can make it crack
cause its kind of dark.
- [Man] Any hard foreign particle.
- This laptop is really asking for it.
Like many developers, EA is offering to give gamers,
the next-gen version of certain games if the current
gen version is purchased,
but EA's offer comes with a cache.
In the case of Madden NFL 21,
you have to buy the game by December 31st,
and upgrade to the new XBOX by March 31st 2021.
Okay, that actually seems reasonable,
but in a time when every other developer is leaving things
just a bit more open, its just kind of funny
that EA is still gonna be EA.
- [Man] You know, it depend on.
- A university of Toronto study has found
that the popular messaging App, WeChat,
never heard of it, owned by a Chinese mega company Tencent,
who are they?
Monitors messages sent between recipients,
even those based outside of China.
Excuse me, while I express the opposite of surprise.
Oh really? (laughs)
Tencent says they are taking the results
of the study seriously.
Oh good, you should probably just keep using
the App then, you know.
- [Man] Of a company you haven't heard of.
- They're super serial you guys.
And Intel announced a collaboration
with Bluetooth tracking company Tile,
to integrate the latter's tech
into laptops with Intel chips sets.
Finally, I will never lose my laptop down in the space
between my seats again.
And when I pull out my App to locate it, it'll will tell me,
Tile cannot be located, last seen 21 hours ago.
It's useless. (fire blows up)
- [Man] Oh no!
- Its stupid.
All right, that's it for this one guys,
come back on Wednesday for more tech news,
but fewer stupid hair cuts.
And if you think you can dress like Linus,
then try it.
You've never won jeans this simultaneously
stretchy and coarse before, have you?
- [Man] Well, give us a peek.
(groans) (screams)
Wow.
(groans) There he is!
