[0.0] Uh, [0.48]
[0.48] you came here because you want tech news, [3.76]
[3.96] and I know that. [5.4]
[5.92] And that's why I have that ready for, [9.16]
[9.16] I have it ready for you right here. [10.66]
[10.66] It's just, one second. [12.42]
[12.84] Apple doesn't  want to allow iPhone users [16.06]
[16.06] to install apps from outside of the app store, [18.12]
[18.12] AKA side loading, [19.54]
[19.54] but according to Mark Gurm's together strong Gurman, [23.06]
[23.06] the company looks [23.84]

[23.84] like it's doing the tech giant equivalent [25.64]
[25.64] of gritting its teeth and wincing in anticipation [28.62]
[29.0] of getting a very painful temporary tattoo. [31.34]
[31.64] See, the EU's Digital Market Act requires gatekeeper companies like Google and Apple [37.33]
[37.33] to open up their software ecosystems by March, 2024. [40.82]
[41.36] The Gurman, financial filings from Apple, [43.9]
[43.9] as well as code found in the iOS 17.2 beta, [47.44]
[47.44] all point to Apple preparing to allow side loading on iPhones before that deadline, [52.8]
[52.8] so in the next few months. [54.22]

[54.66] However, unlike their rollout of USB-C on iPhones, [57.54]
[58.4] which happened because of EU pressure, [60.18]
[60.4] side loading may only be allowed in the EU itself. [64.1]
[64.38] But while Apple is preparing to do the unthinkable, [67.42]
[67.42] letting their users decide something for  themselves, [72.22]
[72.54] the trillion dollar company is reportedly also quietly cooking up a Hail Mary in the form of several appeals, [79.02]
[79.26] challenging the EU's decision to label the iOS app store and iMessage as gatekeeper services. [85.3]
[86.04] Apple doesn't think of itself as gatekeeping anything. [89.0]

[89.0] And if they are, it's more like a girl boss gaslight situation. [92.66]
[92.98] Like, wow, yes, queen. [94.6]
[95.02] Constructive criticism isn't real. [96.9]
[97.36] Anyway, [97.64]
[97.64] get ready to provide a whole new level of tech support for your iPhone using friends. [101.44]
[101.7] In other Apple news, [102.6]
[102.6] concerns over the company's decision [104.16]
[104.16] to limit the base model M3 MacBook Pro to eight gigabytes of RAM, [109.16]
[109.16] sorry, [109.62]

[110.14] unified memory, [111.02]
[111.22] have been somewhat validated, [112.8]
[112.8] according to YouTuber Max Tech. [114.78]
[115.04] He put an eight gigabyte and a 16 gigabyte M3 MacBook Pro head to head, [119.0]
[119.0] and found that, [119.96]
[119.96] unsurprising to nearly everyone, [122.44]
[122.44] the 16 gigabyte laptop enjoys a sizable performance boost over the eight gigabyte model, [127.74]
[127.74] exporting photos and videos as much as three times faster, [131.32]
[131.32] despite only having two times the remembering power. [134.16]
[134.92] Now, [135.12]

[135.12] enthusiasts only got more upset about Apple's decision to under-equip the base model MacBook Pro [140.52]
[140.52] after the company's VP [141.96]
[141.96] of worldwide marketing, Bob Borchers, [144.66]
[145.0] totally borked himself by telling bilibili creator,  Yee Lee [150.52]
[151.2] that eight gigabytes of RAM on the M3 MacBook [153.96]
[153.96] Pro is analogous to 16 gigabytes on other systems. [158.32]
[158.6] Now, [159.0]
[159.0] you can acknowledge that Apple's software and hardware optimization is high art, [163.82]
[163.82] while also being glad you weren't drinking some delicious 2% milk when you heard Borchers claim. [168.96]
[169.18] Because I changed my pants enough times in one day, okay? [172.58]

[172.92] But hey, at least Apple used two separate NAND modules for the storage this time. [177.62]
[178.14] Not because people asked for that. [179.86]
[179.86] They don't care. [182.18]
[182.7] Intel has been waiting its turn to be called out for some nonsense, [185.72]
[185.72] so thank goodness that MSI released a BIOS update [188.84]
[188.84] for its Z790 motherboards that enables support [191.78]
[191.78] for the incredibly generic sounding Intel Application Optimization feature, or APO. [197.66]
[197.66] The feature is actually pretty cool. [200.14]
[200.14] Hardware Unboxed did some testing with their now updated MSI boards, [203.44]

[203.44] and credited APO as a fix for the way Intel's efficiency cores, or E-cores, [208.84]
[209.16] handle gaming. [209.64]
[209.9] But despite sounding like something that should work on pretty much any Intel chip with efficiency cores, [215.06]
[215.06] like the 12th and 13th gen lineups, [217.4]
[217.72] APO only works on select 14th gen core processors. [221.64]
[221.92] And when Hub asked Intel, [223.98]
[224.18] what's the deal with that? [225.5]
[225.92] Intel gave a bone chillingly corporate response. [228.7]
[229.42] Intel has no plans to support prior generation products with application optimization. [233.88]
[234.38] Hello? [234.64]

[234.98] I'm a human being. [236.28]
[236.44] I have feelings. [237.44]
[237.7] Beep boop. [238.48]
[239.0] Hardware Unboxed also asked Intel [240.22]
[240.22] if they plan to support more than the only two games that work with APO right now, [244.82]
[245.14] Metro Exodus and Rainbow Six Siege, [247.08]
[247.08] to which Intel replied, yeah, probably. [250.26]

[289.02] Quick Bits, man, they are, they're so cool. [292.54]
[292.54] I'm in a rush today. [293.34]
[293.34] I didn't have time to think of something amazing. [294.86]
[294.86] Okay, well, [295.2]
[295.2] NVIDIA has announced the H200, [297.02]
[297.02] an upgraded version of the H100 GPU. [299.0]
[299.92] which is so in demand for running AI right now that the US's dollar value [304.02]
[304.02] might get tethered to it soon. [305.4]
[305.4] The H200's specs appear to be largely similar to the H100's, [309.46]
[309.66] except for the memory, [311.08]

[311.08] which is upgraded from HBM3 to HBM3e, [314.78]
[314.78] boosting memory bandwidth, clocks, and capacity. [317.56]
[317.82] The H100 had 80 gigabytes of VRAM, [320.26]
[320.26] while the H200 has 141. [322.98]
[323.26] Think about all the things you could do with that. [325.44]
[325.44] Like emulate 8.88 gigabyte M3 Macbook Pros [329.6]
[329.84] Yeah, [330.72]
[330.72] you're gonna do the math. [331.66]
[331.66] RTX 4090s are still pouring into repair shops  with melted power plugs [335.96]

[335.96] more than a year after problems with the card's 12 volt high power connector were first reported, [341.1]
[341.44] according to Alex from Northridge Fix on YouTube. [344.36]
[344.36] He says his repair shop still gets [346.06]
[346.06] about 20 to 25 4090s in per week, [349.48]
[349.88] proving once and for all that the 4090 owners [352.36]
[352.36] just didn't plug them in right, guys. [354.32]
[354.32] You gotta push it all the way in. [356.08]
[356.08] It's your fault. [356.78]
[357.0] Thankfully, [357.42]

[357.42] PCI SIG has now redesigned the connector, [360.14]
[360.14] so hopefully future generations of financially questionable decision makers [364.18]
[364.18] won't endure the suffering you have. [366.18]
[366.4] It's not actually your fault. [367.94]
[367.94] I was joking. [368.56]
[368.56] Stop writing that comment. [369.78]
[370.14] Australia's ports are reopening after being shut down by a massive cyber attack three days ago, [375.68]
[375.86] according to DP World Australia, [377.78]
[377.98] which is not related to what you're thinking of. [380.62]
[380.62] It's actually the country's biggest ports operator, [383.34]

[383.66] which still sounds... [386.04]
[386.04] Damn it. [386.5]
[387.0] The cyber attack caused huge delays and congestion, [389.2]
[389.36] and some data was apparently stolen by the perpetrators, [391.86]
[391.86] who are believed to be foreign state actors. [394.36]
[394.68] But I reckon they should see whether the front fell off. [397.58]
[397.58] Widely reported issues with SanDisk Extreme Pro SSDs [400.99]
[400.99] are the result of hardware issues unfixable by any firmware update, [405.32]
[405.52] according to data recovery company Atingo. [408.36]
[408.36] Their managing director told Futurezone that some of the components [411.9]
[411.9] SanDisk used are too big for their circuit boards, [415.1]

[415.1] leading to unstable connections, [416.58]
[417.0] which caused some components to pop off the board entirely, [420.16]
[420.38] and not in a good way. [421.68]
[421.68] I would be shocked and appalled by this if I didn't remember that SanDisk is owned by Western Digital. [427.48]
[427.48] And Tesla's order agreement for the Cybertruck forbids owners [431.81]
[431.81] from selling the polygonal vehicle for one year after it's delivered, [436.64]
[437.04] unless you tell Tesla you want to sell it and give them a chance to buy it back from you. [441.58]
[441.58] If they don't want to buy it back, [443.56]
[443.56] they might give you written permission [445.52]
[445.52] to sell it to a third party, [446.86]

[447.12] like a hall pass, [447.86]
[448.02] but for basic economic rights. [449.72]
[449.72] If you violate this or any other provision in the agreement, [453.12]
[453.48] Tesla says they may locate and disable the vehicle electronically. [457.28]
[457.7] And really, I mean, [458.84]
[458.84] this should all make sense if you bought a Cybertruck. [461.16]
[461.52] It's not a normal truck. [462.62]
[463.14] It's... [464.02]

[464.02] It's ugly. [465.46]
[465.46] But you're beautiful inside and out, [467.48]
[467.48] and that's why I know you're gonna come back on Wednesday for more tech news. [470.26]
[470.26] It's just who you are, you know. [471.64]
[471.64] We love you for that. [473.24]
[473.24] Please. [473.7]
