Microsoft is Deleting Itself · THE DAILY BRIEF

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: You know when tech news makes you feel something you've
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: never felt before, and you ask other people if they've
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: felt anything like that, and they're like, no, that's a
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: bit concerning. You should talk to your doctor. Yeah, that's
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: what it's all about. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is scared
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: that rapid development of AI could leave Microsoft itself in
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the dust, despite doing absolutely everything it can to shoehorn
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: three different versions of something named copilot into every product
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: they make. As reported by The Verge, at a company
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: town hall, a Microsoft employee expressed concerns about the vibe
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: shift of the company towards the emotionally colder side. Now,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: what that employee doesn't understand is that Microsoft had no
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: choice but to lay off nine thousand people despite making
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: record profits, because, as Nadella said in his response, there's
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: so many once great tech companies that simply vanished, and
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: every time it was because of AI and not laying
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: off enough people. So Satia's concerned that other companies will
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: pull ahead in the AI race is understandable, not to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: mention the fact that Elon Musk explicitly claimed a month
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: ago that he'll replace everything Microsoft does with a purely
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: AI software company called Macro hard. Everyone saw this tweet
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and was like, all right, elon okay, But Satya saw
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: it and was like oh shitt and ran off to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: order someone to name another thing. Co Pilot, the first
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: handheld with AMD's beefy Strix Halo chip can perform nearly
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: two times better than one of AMD's existing flagship handheld chips,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: according to YouTuber the Fox who spells his name like
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: it says next Opia user ID from two thousand and five,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and we love him for that. The old Fox h
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Ighound also revealed that this handheld the GPD Win five
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: with the giant attachable battery on the back, you know
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the one. We'll start at sixteen hundred USD for the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: lower powered rise In three eighty five, with the three
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: ninety five version starting at eighteen fifty. Sure at lower TDPs,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the Strix Halo chip gets around the same performance as
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the rise In HX three seventy, which is close to
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the upcoming rise and Z two extreme, but starting around
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: twenty five watts and above, the rise In three ninety
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: five can do a lot better. It's just, you know,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: is that worth like two thousand dollars? If you're more
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: of a desktop only person. AMD just launched the Radion
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: RX seventy seven hundred. Non XT, that's right, I said
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: seventy seven hundred. It's a new GPW based on the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: company's last gen rDNA three architecture, coming out two years
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: after the XT version. AMD. If you're going for a
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: nostalgia factor, I think you have to wait a bit longer.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: iPhone seventeen owners are flooding the internet with complaints that
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: their new slabs are getting scratched when they throw them
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: without a case into their pocket or purse with their
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: keys in custom knife collection. Well, Apple has really dropped
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the ball here. Someone get to the bottom of all
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: these reports. Thankfully, Jerry rig Everything is confirmed via his
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: professional skills and tools. That's scratching an iPhone seventeen Pro
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: with a razor blade will leave a mark. Okay, but seriously,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the issue here has to do with the iPhone seventeen
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: pros anodized aluminum frame and certain decisions made by Apple
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: about the design of the corners of the camera. Plateau
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Zach from Jerry rig Everything explains that this is why
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: when you scratch the corner with a key, the corner
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: will get scratched. Look watch his video. I'm sure this
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: is a big deal to people who love their naked phones,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: but I you know, other people are pointing out that
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: previous iPhone models also used anodized aluminum and they scratched easily,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: but that didn't qualify for the scandalgait treatment apparently. So
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: throw a case on your phone, or don't, and keep
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: scratching on and on until you get inside and scratch
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: off the whole SSD inside the iPhone seventeen Promax and
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: replace it with another one, like YouTuber director Fang did here.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: You don't have to make it an ASMR video, though
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you do, however, have to check out our sponsor, Roe Lab,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: makers of the M one, a modular and lightweight sofa
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: that you can carry into your house or even your
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: small apartment by yourself. And you don't even need to
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: go to the gym and get mad swoll, ripped or
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: yoked unless you want to do those anyway. Why not,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: But again, it's not necessary for this, because the M
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: one sofa blossoms out of its compact box ready to
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: enjoy no tools or confusing instructions involved. Sections of the

  Speaker 1: end up calling your doctor and he's like, you know,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: that tech news feeling is actually totally normal. Take five
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: quick bits and don't call me in the morning, you hypochondriac.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: You'd get some help, not from me. The TikTok deal
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: is real, an anonymous senior White House official told reporters today,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and it will involve byte Edance creating a US specific
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: copy of the apps algorithm that a US based joint
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: group of investors can use on a lease. One of
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: those investors is Oracle, who will also be responsible for
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: security on the new all American TikTok, which will only
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: allow viral dances to country songs, none of that K
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: pop allowed because that's that's Chinese. While the haw while
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the White House is brokering the deal, they will not
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: be taking a stake in the new venture, which is
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: something we have to clarify now. So that's fun. And
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Vidio CEO Jensen Wang confirmed on his joint investor call
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: with Intel last week that in videas rumored N one
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: ARM based PC processor and the GB ten sc powering
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the company's DGX Spark Mini aipcs that are already announced
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: are actually one and the same. What now, There's still
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: room for speculation here. Leaks have referenced both an N
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: one and N one x variant, but it's also worth
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: pointing out that the GB ten slash N one whatever
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: it is, combines in Vidia's GPU cores with Media Tech's
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: ARM CPU cores. And will anyone care about that when
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Intel CPUs with integrated in video GPUs exists that we're
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: just announced last week, You have to answer that on
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: your own. Okay, My brain is busy still thinking about
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: how people don't put cases on their phones. Why Lenovo
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: has canceled some pre orders for their upcoming Legion go
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to Windows Handheld because they received way more than they
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: expected they thought no one liked them, and it wouldn't
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: be right to hold on to their customers' money when
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the shipping date is uncertain. We don't want to do
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: that to you. Oh actually I speak corporate ease, I
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: can translate this. They're actually saying they could do without
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: incessant emails tearing into their support staff over their order
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: not being ready like the customers in a fast food
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: drive through. Also, maybe just don't pre order, you know.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Lenovo agrees with me. Apparently, European airports are slowly recovering
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: after a cyber attack caused delays and cancelations in London, Brussels, Dublin,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Berlin and more. There's a lot of cities in Europe.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: The cause was apparently ransomware that struck Collins Aerospace, the
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: maker of software used by many airlines worldwide. Some say
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the hackers just wanted money, but they may also have
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: demanded an end to those incredibly annoying cookie consent pop
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: ups every site had to add after the EU made
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: it a law in two thousand and nine. Because look,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the European Commission is now considering reworking it. I'm not
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: saying the hackers were right, but pop ups are really annoying.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: And Pope Leo the fourteenth said in a recent interview
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: covered by the Register that Vatican staff asked him for
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: authorization to create an AI pope that would match his
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: personality so anyone could get a personal audience with the Pope,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: and Pope Leo was like, hey, that what is this?
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: OnlyFans not verbatim, but I think that was the vibe.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: This AI stuff is really getting out of hand. The
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: robots are now throwing themselves around. They're not even waiting
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: for the testers to kick them anymore. What is it
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: even doing here? It's trying to psych us out. But
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: don't psych me out by saying you'll come back on
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Wednesday for more tech news and then not coming please,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: that would I've just I just don't. I will believe you.
