- Whoa, I had no idea there was tech news in here.
Turns out there's a lot.
At Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference,
the company announced its latest Apple silicon chip,
the M1 Hyper Max which only manifests
when you strap two Max Studios together.
Just kidding, that's.
They finally announced the M2.
It's got up to 24 gigabytes of unified memory
instead of 16,
and two more GPU cores for a total of 10,
although they're still keeping the old four powerful
and four efficient CPU cores design,
as well as those classic graphs
comparing an apple silicon chip to the vague idea
of some theoretical computer not made by Apple, weird.
The M2 will show up first in the new MacBook Air design
which throws out the old tapered look
for something that looks like a MacBook Pro
that was sat on by Thanos.
It's faster, and it's got MagSafe, two USBC ports,
and a headphone jack,
and also has a power brick with two USBC ports.
So I guess it's actually super easy
to slap extra USBC ports on things.
Remember the 2015 MacBook?
You'll also be able to upgrade the 13" MacBook Pro to M2,
but only the small one.
Apple will let you upgrade the bigger ones
when you're ready.
And running on those new MacBooks is the new macOS Ventura.
I thought it was weird
they didn't have someone announce this
while manually moving their own butt cheeks,
but hey, that's just me.
Ventura's Stage Manager feature
lets you group windows,
and swap between groups
while seeing app previews on the left.
Spotlight now supports rich web results,
and shared tab groups lets you share a web browsing session
in real time with collaborators.
But the coolest thing about Ventura was probably pass keys
which will replace passwords
with biometric authentication on an iPhone,
even on non-Mac devices, hmm.
Apple also announced their own take on a DLSS style feature
with MetalFX upscaling,
meaning you're gonna be gaming on a Mac now,
whether you like it or not.
Finally, Continuity Camera will let you use your iPhone
as a webcam in a rare admission from Apple
that their laptop cameras might not be amazing.
What is happening?
What's happening is we're not done.
iOS 16, out as a developer preview today
has lock screen widgets just like Android 12
which brought them back
after not having them since Android 4.
Innovation.
Messages will let users edit and unsend messages
as well as mark threads unread,
all of which does not require RCS supports.
Thank goodness.
Here's another revolutionary feature.
Are you ready?
When using voice to text the keyboard will stay open.
- [Man] Whoa.
- Astonishing.
Almost as astonishing as the iPad's brand new weather app,
and background download API's
which were not there before, somehow.
Yep, that was sarcastic,
but this next part isn't.
Apple has gotten back to turning the iPad
into a desktop class machine,
so there's support for a new collaboration features
using their version of Google's Workspace boards,
new tools for developers to make more desktop class apps,
and even display scaling,
and virtual memory swapping
to customize how the tablet looks and performs.
But last but not least, iPadOS will have Stage Manager,
resizable windows, and an expandable desktop
when you connect to external monitors, it's happening.
We don't-
- [Man] It's just a laptop.
- We don't know why it's happening,
but that's just the defaults human condition,
so it's fine.
I want an iPad now.
Okay now for some non Apple stuff.
Google is being forced to pay
Australian politician John Barilaro
715,000 Australian dollars,
or about 515,000 USD,
for failing to remove relentless racist and abusive videos,
quote unquote, posted by YouTuber Jordan Shanks.
Barilaro initially requested
that Google take the videos down,
but the company denied the videos were defamatory.
Seems kind of weird,
but this is Google's Australian branch we're talking about,
things swirl the other way down there, I.
So Barilaro took Shanks to court
which ended up in a settlement
requiring Shanks to pay $100,000,
and to edit his videos which presumably gave Barilaro
the confidence he needed to take on the tech giant directly.
It's an interesting example of why tech platforms
have scrambled to crack down
on some potentially harmful types of speech,
because even Google probably doesn't have enough lawyers
to handle lawsuits from everybody
that's been called something horrible online.

Intel's GPUs are still coming, okay?
But just in case you're getting worried,
Reference laptop manufacturer Clevo
just announced the X270 gaming notebook,
the first model confirmed
to feature Intel's higher end Arc A770 M mobile GPU inside.
And Intel just showed off
a physical Arc desktop graphics card
at the Intel Extreme Masters Gaming tournament.
So rest assured, the GPU's are coming.
I just hope their arrival doesn't feel like
getting a cold Uber Eats order once they actually get here.
But, Elon Musk is super serial
about getting out of his Twitter acquisition deal,
as the billionaire just sent Twitter a letter
telling them how serious he is.
It's an angry letter.
Musk wants the platform to prove that it's users
are less than 5% bots before he pays up.
But, as analysts have pointed out
there are a number of rules that might force Elon
to complete the acquisition anyways
putting critics of the buyout in a strange position.
When you don't want Elon to take over Twitter,
but you do wanna see him forced
to do something against his will.
Ah, what to do?
Checkpoint Research has identified a software vulnerability
in Motorola phones built with a Unisoc Tiger T700 SoC.
That's a process, it's chip.
But a patch has now been issued,
so if you have a Moto G20, E30, or E40
make sure you update when you can,
and check your parents' phones, just to be safe.
They probably haven't updated, ever.
They need you.
Russia's space chief Dimitri Rogozin told the press
that Roscosmos is going to try
and turn the German operated telescope
aboard its Spktr-RG spacecraft back on
after Germany halted its cooperation with Russia
Following the invasion of Ukraine.
German officials have warned Russia against doing this
as Russia may cause damage to this telescope.
So, they should be careful.
I mean, Germany sometimes takes longer to write the manuals
than build the actual device.
They're very detail oriented.
And YouTuber Shane Whighton has created a basketball hoop
that will calculate the trajectory of a thrown basketball,
and move itself so that it's a swish, swish every time baby.
Check out the video which unfortunately doesn't address
the fact that you will still miss a hundred percent
of the shots you don't take,
that's the next level.
But you should definitely come back on Wednesday
for more tech news,
because you'll miss the tech news from 100%
of the tech news videos that you don't watch.
You probably never even thought about that before.
