Test captions: I was thinking about starting this video by singing the song Tik Tok by Kesha but I don't think anyone waking up in the morning feeling like P Diddy is a good vibe right now the United States has officially passed a law Banning Tik Tok next year if certain conditions aren't meant the bill actually gives parent company bite Dan 270 days to sell the app otherwise it'll be barred from us App Stores of course Android users could always just sideload the app but iOS users would be forever blocked from redownloading this specific flavor of heavy duty brain rot the not yet a ban passed as part of a larger foreign aid package in support of Ukraine and Israel they just snuck it in there like a mouse turd in a box of raisins Tik Tock has promised to fight the law in court calling it an unconstitutional suppression of its American users freedom of speech a freedom best expressed by lipsyncing along to a recording of a joke that somebody said even if bite dancece was willing to sell the sale might be blocked by China which imposes export restrictions on governing algorithms such as Tik toks further a sale or ban might not even protect American users from Chinese information collection given that the Chinese government can probably buy most of this information off the open market speaking of collecting information the US government also renewed the foreign intelligence surveillance act AKA fisa including an amendment M which has been criticized for expanding government surveillance without a warrant honestly the best possible outcome of this would be if the hot new Teen Trend was a dance craze criticizing lack of judicial oversight for federal intelligence agencies let's make it happen let's go guys Qualcomm has officially unveiled its full upcoming lineup of Snapdragon X Series CPUs including a list of names that look like qualcomm's marketing head passed out on the keyboard their Top Model is the X 1 e- 84-100 the X standing for X the one indicating the chips generation the E standing for elite the 84 being the skew and the 100 standing for nothing no really it it doesn't mean anything at least not yet that section of the name is reserved for future use so all of the names currently end in 100 wouldn't you stick 100 on the end of something for if you wanted to yeah my child baby 100 baby 100 it's not clear why the names would need to be so complicated when there's a grand total of four chips only one of which even falls into the lower tier plus category while the Plus Sports 10 cores the three Elite chips all have 12 with the top two models the x1e 84 and x180 coming with dual core boost at 4.2 and 4 GHz respectively that's actually a 0.1 GH gz drop from what was originally promised for the X1 84 but what's a tenth of a GHz between friends what's important is that we're overthrowing the x86 Windows ecosystem okay that's stay focused it has been a terrible first quarter for Tesla in part because it's profit margin shrank by 55% and sales dropped by 85% despite substantial price cuts the company now has an excess of stock and a shortage of cash which makes this an absolutely terrible time for the public to find out that the Cyber truck isn't even waterproof how at least one owner claims to have accidentally bricked his ride by taking it through the car wash and hosing sand out of the truck's bed without setting his vehicle to Car Wash mode first rookie mistake leading the vehicle's infotainment system to die like a smartphone after being dropped in the toilet while the rest of the truck is technically operational the cyber truck incorporates several key gauges such as its battery level and speedometer into its digital display which was dead worse it's almost impossible to see out of the Cyber truck's narrow rear window at the best of times and when the truck bed is closed the cover blocks the window completely that means that the drivers are wholly dependent on the rear camera whose feed is is also part of the digital display so if you want to back up without it you need to keep the back of the truck open which is going to be a problem because the bed isn't waterproof apparently get a really big bag of rice now just as a reminder this is a vehicle with an actual Wade mode that's supposed to let it Ford Rivers we were told it was going to have an optional package letting it transform into a boat now unless you think this is an isolated incident many cybertruck buyers have reported that its stainless steel exterior panels have already started to rust apparently because Tesla thought it was more important for the vehicle to be bulletproof than weatherproof they should have made it out of cast iron instead so you could just season it funnily enough Elon Musk actually suggested during a call with investors that Tesla might be able to take advantage of the unused compute power of idle vehicles to provide cloud services so at least disappointed customers might still be able to use their broken cyber trucks to mine Bitcoin but you won't be disappointed with the sponsor of this video ODU look the web can be scary and building a website is even scarier but fear not

you're probably not going to have time to finish your food these let's go Google has delayed its plan to phase out thirdparty track and cookies in Chrome yet again this is actually the third time time since 2020 but it's not Google's fault it's those mean Regulators at the UK competition and markets Authority who are concerned that Google's replacement for cookies the so-called privacy sandbox will give it an anti-competitive choke hold on tracking an information collection which yeah yeah probably will this newest delay likely means that Google will miss its proposed phase out date of the end of this year so in the meantime you can feel free to continue browsing while only being constantly tracked in the manner you've become desensitized to you're being watched exactly as much as usual the rabbit R1 the multimodal AI device that gathered 50,000 pre-orders following its CES debut has officially launched just over a week after the Humane AI pin endured a brutal fogging in the Public Square in early impression pieces there's a surprising amount of optimism from some of the same reviewers who gave the AI pin a real tongue lashing it probably helps that the R1 costs $200 instead of 700 plus a monthly subscription I mean sure it could literally just be an App instead of a cute little Pokedex looking thing but then you wouldn't have a cute little pokeddex thing you'll forget about faster than the Vision Pro I thought that was a burn Asus released a bios update for it z790 motherboards in response to massive claims of CPU instability reported by users of Flagship 13th and 14th gen processors unfortunately the update also appears to reduce performance of these high-end Intel CPUs by up to 9% at least for the core i 94900 k the new update sets the CPU power limit to Intel's recommended 253 Watts instead of the previous practically unlimited limit of 4,095 Watts so it's not that your CPU has gotten worse per se Asus has essentially just stopped injecting it with steroids meaning your processor will get to enjoy a longer life and it won't need to worry about its testicle shrinking Nissan has unveiled a solution to the age-old problem of how to deal with babies in the backseat of your car and that solution is an animatronic fluffy blob creature mounted in front of your child that will play peekaboo and wave its arms around as if pleading for someone to please get it down from there release it from this Mortal plane it's called uyo apparently meaning I'm here in Japanese and not only will it sing songs in response to parents voice commands it will signal to a smaller robot in the front seat which will close its eyes when the child falls asleep because why use a standard car seat mirror when you can monitor your child through a robot that looks like the Pokemon that evolves into Elmo and you asked for it you can finally buy a robot dog with a flamethrower strap to its back the thermonator created by the aptly named company throw flame is now available for purchase for less than $10,000 that's right for the low price of 9,420 you can blaze it and the it in blaze it in this case means anything within the therminator 30 foot flame-throwing range blaze it up according to throw Flames website flamethrowers are legal and unregulated in most countries fun fact and we all know big robot dog has been lobbying against sensible robot dog control laws for decades cybernetic canines don't even need to be leashed and will'll unleash more Tech news on you if you come back on Friday for the next episode of TechLink if not flamethrower dog
