As it is about to change, governments around the world aren’t precisely anxious togive that much market power to exactly one company. Can you imagine how smug Jensen would be? -[ Riley] He’d wear likethree leather skins. – His kitchen would be so opulent. At the heart of the issueis the fact that Nvidia immediately competes with many companies that have bought chip designings from Arm, growing serious concerns that Nvidia would effectively end upcontrolling the market if the slew went through, with the US, the UK, China, and European Union sure to take a very closelook at the details.Because of that.( beep) that up, so I justwent with it, whatever. I reflect one company dominating the market could also parent cybersecurity eyebrows as well. Not concerns, eyebrows. So I wouldn’t be too scandalized if the lot eventually doesn’t work out, even if NVIDIA’s lawyerstry to strong arm the issue. – There it is! – Wa-pow! -[ Riley] Wow! – There was a huge amount of resistance after Microsoft announcedthat it was going to jack up the price ofan Xbox Live subscription by a factor of two. Understandable, considering countless parties are in a tough financialcircumstance this year due to the pandemic and the fact that more beings are staying at home playing video games.I mean, okay, that kindof offsets smell then. Well, it’s like demand is going up, so. All right, the good news, though, is that Microsoft has changed its mind. It is not just a matter remaining theexisting pricing the same, but is even letting playersplay free to play games on multiplayer without apaid XBox Live subscription. Exactly a 180. – Hey! – Squeaky wheel gets the grease. Seeing as some very popular designations, like Apex Legends and Fortnitefall into this category, console gamers seem prettyhappy with the whole deal. So I predict our parents were incorrect. Complaining does work, especially regarding video games.( expels) You couldn’thave been more wrong about this whole video game thing, Mom. -[ Riley] I get paid! -( laughs) And the screen is this close to my face by design.

So while Apple says the risk isn’t larger than it has been with someof its earlier commodities, you may not want to keep thephone in your breast pocket. Likewise, if you bend over, it precipitates out. -[ Riley] Wait, which earlierproducts were perilous? – We’ll never know. Today’s immediate flakes are introduce into you by the Commuter 2 portableBluetooth speaker from Kove.( Riley bawls) Good God! Apparently it can get fairly loud.

Team Blue beating Team Red tothe market with a brand-new aspect? I feel like I’ve beentransported back to 2013.( Riley hoots) You know, that big-hearted, hotfix for Cyberpunk 2077 that was supposed tomake the game suck little? Maybe it did that in some respects, but it feed a whole new problem that actually escapes the game. At one point, aconversation that’s critical to the plot never happens, preparing it literally impossibleto advance in the game. -[ Riley] No! – It’s like CD Projekt Redused dynamite to kill a spider.Like I did that one time back in’ Nam. I’m missing a baby toe. And if you often watchNetflix on an Android phone, you’re in luck if you care atall about the audio suffer as Netflix has just propagandized out an update, enabling more advancedaudio codex on its app. The corporation has said that this will deliver studio-quality sound that’s not only better onheadphones and external speakers but will likewise induce things resonate clearer on built-in phone talkers.

And the FTC has started to hand out fines to hustlers of scalper bots. But don’t get too excited. We’re not talking aboutthe same ones buying up all the graphics placards lately. These penalties are targetedat people who automatically sculpted movies, boasts, and affair tickets. So boomer trash.( blows raspberry) Clearly a good opinion, but I’d rather the FTC exactly find the bots themselves. More forward-thinking, you know?
