YouTube Wasn't Lying · THE DAILY BRIEF

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: One way you can know we always keep it reel
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: on this show is the fact that I forgot to
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: write an intro for this one. I'm just going off
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the cuff here, just telling you straight up. Isn't that endearing?
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: He's read that off the promlem. The YouTube viewpocalypse, as
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: some have called it, may not be YouTube's fault, despite
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: some commentators basing entire jokes on that very assumption. In
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: their blog post on Monday, YouTube mentioned the possibility that
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: updates to ad blockers may have caused some views to
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: stop being counted, and YouTube's owned liaison, Rene Richie, reiterated
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: that YouTube didn't change anything. It turns out he was right,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: as explained on Twitter by YouTuber and former expert troll
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: theo Joe, He's changed his ways. On August eleventh, a
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: URL filter was added to easy List, specifically its affiliated
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Easy Privacy List, which is used by multiple ad blockers
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: to let them know what to block, but this change
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: appears to have inadvertently blocked YouTube's method counting views. Fellow
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: YouTuber and extra Dad in case you need one, Jeff
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Geerling also drew attention to this with a blog post
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: with much additional discussion taking place in this GitHub thread
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: between him the ojo Yuki, the volunteer who made the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: change on August eleventh, than who we love and appreciate
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: for their work even if they accidentally kicked all this off,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and Scratchy, who did a lot of investigating and made
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: a guide for how users can override this change so
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: creators can benefit from registering their views properly while still
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: protecting their privacy. You dropped this king, you can put
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: a crown there? Yeah? Thank you? Hold on, wait a second,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: privacy Yeah. You see. While any ad block user could
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: go and manually remove the easy privacy filter from their
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: ad blocker settings, they might not want to do that,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: even if it would mean allowing YouTube to count their views,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: because the main reason many people use ad blockers is
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: to protect their privacy. Because fun fact, most ads are
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: also trackers. Isn't that fun? Why not both? So where
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: does all this leave us? Well? Another update to easy
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: list has apparently made it so that only third party
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: hit counters will be filtered out, which should mean YouTube's
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: view tracking should work properly. Again, so at the end
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: of the day, it looks like YouTube wasn't the immediate
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: cause of this change, but that doesn't mean they can't
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: mess up the platform in other ways, like announcing that
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: today they're integrating their vo three AI video and audio
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: generator directly into shorts. Because the Internet doesn't have nearly
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: enough slop yet more slop immediately, please tell you what
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: we need. Slop block is what we need. Okay, somebody
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: get on that. Not me, though. Google is launching something
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: that's either terrifying or very useful, depending on how much
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: access to your computer you like to give to third parties.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: It's Google's new app for Windows that helps you find
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: what you need faster. Just install it, hit alt space,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: kind of like the shortcut on Mac for Spotlight, and
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: let it sift and search through all of your local
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: files as well as Google Drive, you're installed apps, and
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the web. If you're intrigued by the idea of anything
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: that could be even slightly better than Windows Search. It's
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: available now, but only in the US. Still. Somehow I
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: managed to download it from Google laps and yeah, it
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: searches your files. But if you're expecting something better than
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Windows Search that doesn't have web search involved, I mean
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: it very much is still involved. Sometimes it could find
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: specific files when I search for the file name, but
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: other times I just got web results, so I don't know.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Maybe it'll get better over time. Windows search sure didn't.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: A Windows Search couldn't even find today's sponsor. War Thunder,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the game that immerses you in intense combat with more
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: than twenty five hundred incredibly detailed tanks, blaanes, helicopters, and chips,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and one of the most sophisticated vehicle damage models in gaming.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: We're talking individual components models like engines, fuel, tanks, weapons,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and even crew members. This is still a video game,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: so they are a component, all susceptible to damage or
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: disabling by enemy shells or missiles, different types of which
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: behave differently according to the type of armor you have equipped.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: This is basically the matrix you can learn about how
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: all those things interacted to cause you to blow up
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: using the x ray view, which would be great to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: have in real life. Maybe they'll make that someday. Join
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a worldwide community of over seventy million players in one
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: of the most comprehensive vehicle combat games ever made. Check
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: out war Thunder for free today on PC, console, and
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: mobile using our links in the description. And I don't know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: it's just like, it's just sad because most people watching
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the show, they don't have any quickbits when the show starts,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and then I'm like, I got it. We should give them.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: We should give them quick bits, right, because it's just oh,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: it's recording. Oh they found a natural moment, Mark? Oh
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: what okay? All right? A couple huge VR events are
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: happening this evening. One is the Metaconnect event, which I
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: think is happening as we're filming this right now. Because
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: of course these schedulert for five pm. Come back on
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Friday for coverage of that. They probably released some new
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: smart glasses. Please ask Mark to run the event earlier
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: next time, Mark Zuckerberg, not this, not Mark cab Ok.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Then there's a bunch of prominent VR content creators who
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: have been heading to Seattle, possibly to get a sneak
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: peak of the new Steam frame. But I wouldn't know
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: for sure because Gabe didn't invite me. That's okay, maybe
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: next time. It sounds like we'll find out more soon,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: so stay tuned. That was You're like, what was the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: news there? It was? There was no news. That's the problem.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Tesla has settled another wrongful death lawsuit due to its
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: autopilot technology. This one comes from twenty nineteen when a
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: fifteen year old riding in a truck with his pops
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: was hit by a Model three going over sixty miles
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: per hour. That's almost one hundred kilometers per hour for
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the Europeans out there. Tesla has of course argued that
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: it's the driver who's at fault here, not their trustee autopilot.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: But they lost a similar case in Florida last month
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: that's going to cost them two hundred and forty three
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: million dollars. They don't want to lose another two hundred
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and forty three million dollars, so now they're settling out
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: of court for an undisclosed amount. Can't win them all,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: but you can try to settle them. What's the no,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: You can't. But AMD just won another battle in the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: eternal CPU war against its Blue rival Intel see Team
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Blue likes to release two generations of CPUs per motherboard
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: socket over two or three years, while AMD likes to
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: release at least three generations over nine years. How do
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: they do it by releasing a clock down version of
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the Rise in five fifty six hundred and calling it
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the new fifty six hundred f Is it the best
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: upgrade if you're still on AM four? Not really, But
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: people just like options, you know, but sometimes you pick
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the wrong one. Sk Heinez and their DDR five dims
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: are in some hot water for remaining vulnerable to a
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: very of the Roehammer exploit called Phoenix or if you're
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: cultured like me CVE twenty twenty five six two oh two, okay.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Researchers from eth Zurich and Google found a blind spot
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: in the refreshed sampling logic and used one of two
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: patterns to flip bits on fifteen different on DIECC memory
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: modules made between twenty one and twenty twenty four. Hey,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: that's the same year Cassio's Maflin launched. And I'm telling
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: you that now because it's finally coming to America. It's
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: a fuzzy, cuddly, cute AI robot thing that is surprisingly,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: maybe unsurprisingly selling out in Japan. So the Tyrell Corporation,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: i mean Cassio decided it was time to spread the love.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Preorders are already up for the gold or silver Fuzzball,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and it costs a lot for a smart companion designed
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to support, reassure and grow with you through life's everyday moments.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Who needs that? And with two axi of movement, operating
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: temperatures of up to thirty five degrees celsius, and an
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: included Mofflin bed, it sounds like I'd be dumb not
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: to buy one on October first, and I'd be dumb
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: not to make more tech news for you to watch
• 8:14
