tech news for March Third, two thousand and twenty two, let's dive in it is wise. President of Connectivity told see NBC at the mobile world. Congress has a big event that small about things like smartphones. They said that the measures at least matters, vision of the metaverse is going require more advanced home and cellular networks in order for it to work properly. now that should not come as a surprise, presumably meadows version of this. Admittedly, vague concept includes virtual and potentially augmented reality hardware and too kind of hardware work really well. You need really low latency. Oddly enough folks,

get pretty immersed in virtual environments, even if the graphics are fairly primitive. So, like graphic resolution, isn't hugely important. It's nice to have, but it's not necessary to have a convincing experience. However, high latency, that is a perceptible lag between when you do something like turn your head and when it is reflected in the virtual world, as in like you turned your head, and then after a moment. Your point of view shifts that's a real problem. It creates this swimming unpleasant sensation and latency really contributes to that feeling of motion sickness that some folks, get when they try out VR the greater the latency, the more the more all are going to feel not so good using the technology and clearly if you are banking on this being the future of the internet, you need people to be comfortable using it, however,

top of all that the beniversal is presumably going to allow for a lot of other stuff. Besides, just wandering around virtual environments, there's a whole commerce component to it affect what we be talking about that toward the end of this episode, and if there were other elements like there were not commerce elements Meta would not be boring billions of dollars into this, because you know the company doing this, because this is where they see revenue generation being in the future, so they want upload and download speeds to be maxed out in order to keep up with what the company plans to throw it off. and I think this is also another reminder that whatever the metaphors does turn out to be or metal verses, because lots of companies are working on this. we're still several years out from it being a thing. I've often cited the

Well, I d of it being ten years out from a truly engaging and compelling met averse, because all the pieces that are going to play a part in making that happen. Our goal I have to go through at least a couple more generations of evolutions before they meet the needs of sustaining and supporting a massive online virtual world capable of supporting tons of users simultaneously sticking with Recently, it released its widely viewed content report. This report was met as attempt. get ahead of other sources that would frequently produce lists of the most popular facebook posts on the platform so for exam. Kevin ruse, who is a journalist with the New York Times, had created a twitter account that pulled data from a monitoring platform that Facebook created. So this was a facebook tool and it was called crowd, tangle em.

Twitter account was just pulling data from that to generate a top ten list of where the most popular links were coming from in the United States each week and then tweeting it out, and a lot of M that most of them belonged to various right wing outlets, and this appeared to suggest that Facebook was potentially supporting right wing sources more than others, perhaps in an attempt to fight back against a perception that Facebook suppresses right, leaning points of view now. Facebook was not thrilled with this use of its tool and, in fact, squashed the crowd tangle project, the internal project, and now the company produces its own report. Presumably to push back against this perception that the boy

form is IRAN has a bias towards boosting right, leaning messaging, and the report is fairly vague when it comes to how Facebook determines things like the most popular posts and such like it largely shows that the most popular pages and links tend to be connected to stuff, like entertainment or recipes, the relatively trivial things. However, there's one stand out: weird, thing in the report, and that is there's a listing of the most viewed pages during the last quarter of twenty twenty one and the top spot goes to a mystery at least a mystery for anyone who's outside of Facebook, because in the report, under the it says, quote this page was removed by Facebook for violating community standards. In quote and there's a link to the

each, but of course the page has been removed so that link as inactive it doesn't take you to anything, and Facebook didn't actually identify what the page actually was or who made it. however, it does helpfully show that one hundred twenty one point: eight million accounts on Facebook. Viewed that page content, which Now he is number one, the most viewed page of Facebook during that period sleep, what's it more than ten million views ahead of second place. So if facebooks intent was for this report, to assuage doubts about the platform in a week not when the most popular page was one that Facebook subsequently removed, because the page was violating facebooks rules that actually cut us suggests that Facebook ain't so good enforcing its own rules. If the page got to that level,

of popularity before it was booted off the platform. Anyway. Even if you think of the report is facebooks attempt to change the narrative, it looks to me like that attempt was it but dickie, orally successful and one more facebook specific story for today. The site recently pull the plug on its pilot programme called campus that project, meant to create a suite of features catered specifically toward college students and a lot of y'all probably remember that Facebook started out as a college based online social network. In fact, the array Only in the old days, in order to get a facebook account, you had to have an active college, email account, but it looks

whatever mojo was their back in the early to bid to thousands, is all gone now because campus is closed, met us as the campus project taught the company many things, chief of which is that college students can make better use of tools like Facebook groups to do what Epps was trying to do so. In other words, is that while there is no need to reinvent the wheel, college students are relying on groups, and that seems to be exactly what they need Of course, we also know that Facebook has seen a decline in user adoption among younger users. Fewer younger people are joining Facebook

It may also be that the company was not seeing enough students actually using campus to justify its continued support. I get would just be a drain on company resources and they pulled the black. That's also a possibility. This week you S. President Joe Biden delivered his state of the union address which obviously covers a lot of territory, but part of that speech was a call on Congress to create and pass legislation that will increase protection. Is around data privacy and security with regard to children? He was specifically referencing social media and social networking platforms like Tiktok and Instagram. He said quote it's time to strengthen privacy. Protections, ban, targeted advertising to children, demand tech companies, stop collecting personal data on our children into quote, and he announced that the White House is looking to fund a study on child safety on social media platform

now, we ve already seen plenty of disturbing evidence out of mega itself. That suggests the picture on its effects on on children a good, but it's also important to remember that those studies- those reports were bay it's a pretty small sample sizes, so it actually does make sense to expand on that and to do a larger study, especially one that is conducted outside the company. So there's not the chance of company bias in there and there's already some movement in Congress on this subject, because this is a topic that actually has support across both political.

These, which is pretty darn rare these days. Obviously, should this start to evolve into proposed legislation, we're going to see differences of opinion on how to structure laws meant to restrict companies and how they conduct their business? That's just going to happen, but I think everyone's going to maintain the idea If this is to protect children, we have to be on board, because you don't want your next political opponent to run ads. Saying we started we proposed a law to protect your children, and this person struck it down. That would just be political suicide. So I, but we will see more movement on this. Just don't know how it's going to emerge Oak,

Before the break out talking about the present state of the union address. That is a federal response to the matter of child safety. Online were also seek individual states in the United States, too action California, Florida and Kentucky are among those, the He's general for those states have joined in on an investigation into the video platform, Tik Tok, to determine how the app might affect the mental and physical health of young people who are using it now. This includes not just the actual content hosted on Tik Tok, which is, of course, user generated, but also how Tiktok markets its services to children and how Tik Tok

Europe's up recommended content to children. Just like all other social media platforms, much of tiktok success is defined by engagement, silver, Tik Tok. That largely translates into how long can we keep people on the platform per session, and so the recommendation algorithm, which is meant to serve up stuff, that's most likely to keep you glue. Good to tick. Tock is fundamentally important. New one that algorithm to successfully serve up stuff that keeps people there dwelt. That stuff tends to be harmful, well. That means that the user is likely going to get served up a lot of harmful material repeatedly. So we're seeing a more concentrated effort to really look at these issues and their effects on users, particularly

young users and, depending upon the outcome of this investigation, I expect we may see several states proposed laws and regulations that will restrict how Tiktok can serve content to young people, which would it will be made. They would also require some sort of of age, verification step where the platform kid say: listen, We are making sure that anyone who is under a certain age will not get access to certain materials but age verification steps age evictions. Those are always tricky as well, and they come along with some other consequences which I'll probably talk about in a future episode. now y'all I've never been inside a brick and mortar Amazon Bookstore. Now it sounds like I won't ever get that chance. The company is closing its sixty eight Amazon books, Amazon, four star and Amazon pop up stores across the United States and the United

now if you weren't aware that Amazon operated these kinds of physical stores. Well, it did, and now it's not going to do that anymore- the Amazon. Four star store was a kind of general products store. It was called four star because its old stuff that at a four star or better rating in the online Amazon store. It was also a physics store, Amazon sold a lot of Amazon branded products, and it also- does a physical location, where people could return stuff, they had bought off Amazon online and shutting down the stores means you cut back on those options. The Amazon pop up stores were more like small shops set in places like shopping malls, and the pop up stores would frequently feature a specific subset of products like it would be almost theme and then, after a certain amount of time, it would change that up.

the way all of those are shutting down, but Amazon will still operate. Other physical stores like whole foods, grocery stores, aren't going anywhere. Add the cashier, less Amazon go convenience stores are sticking around too overall read it folks are having a heck of a time talking about how Amazon's digital store, wiped out its own bricks and mortar stores, so sad drama, earlier this week, I gave an update on unionization efforts among Amazon employees. got one warehouse in Bessemer Alabama that will be counting union votes later this month. In order to determine, if enough ablaze, there will support a union in which They will unionize. Then there's the day eight warehouse in New York. That is heading toward a vote of its own and now a I can New York Base location, the Staten Island L, DJ five warehouse has requested I should from the National Labour Relations Board a gay. The in EL are be to move forward

with their own unionization efforts. Now I mentioned earlier. that the activity where seeing in this space could be indicators for a growing labour movement in the United States, and this is the kind of thing I was talking about Don't have many more details about this recent development just yet the Nlrb has not yet confirmed whether It has approved the request that the the Staten Island group made at least not as of the recording of this episode. Fitbit has. had to recall more than one and a half million ionic smart watches after numerous users, for it being burned by the battery overheating in the device. The smart watch does all the stuff we ve come to expect from spar watches it tracks. Activity can be used to monitor sleep attitudes. Tells the time, but apparently a problem with the lithium ion. Batteries has led to massive overheating issues, with some watches

more than one hundred people have reported experiencing, burn injuries and two of those have been third degree burns which are incredibly serious, you're talking about massive tissue damage with that and we've seen similar problems with lithium ion batteries in the past. When there's a manufacturing error or when a battery gets damaged. There is a chance for a short circuit of that's when the flow of electrons bypasses the normal circuit route and there more direct path between the anode, the cathode, the battery, and so the elect the chemical reactions just speed up and the battery heats up your builds up inside the battery, and then you end up with a fire or sometimes an explosion. That's what happened with the Samsung Galaxy note, seven, several, years ago. This is also why airlines tell you not to put anything with a lithium ion battery in your checked luggage, because

if a battery overheats in the plane's cargo, it can cause a serious fire that can become a huge risk before any, it's even aware of it, though, that's not to say that all lithium ion batteries are just a fire waiting to happen. I mean I've got a ton of different This is the have lithium ion batteries. None of them have ever caught fire. What this does mean is When there are these manufacturing errors, we have to take them seriously. As for fitbit, offering a two hundred and ninety nine dollar refund for people who purchase the watches, as well as a discount code for a future fitbit device The news that initially made me say: huh we've learned that epic games, the company behind the massively popular game, Fortnite, has acquired camp now, if you're not familiar with band camp, it's a site that serves as the platform mainly for independent musicians,

letting them sell their music to fans through an online store and to have an online community for their fandom and it's The great I've picked up a lot of music through band camp through bans that dive like that signed to any labels or also bought some commentary tracks for films. I am pretty sure that I picked up a whole bunch of red letter media commentary tracks for different movies. So at first I was wondering what the ex going on here. Why is always epic buying it? Whatever big has said, the bank capital fulfil an quote important role and epochs vision to build out a creator: marketplace ecosystem for content, technology games, art, music and more? in quote, and that also came as news to me. I usually think of epic as that company that makes these incredible license agreements

is highly recognisable intellectual property. Also that you can do stuff like that. Flossy dances, Darth Vader in fortnight or whatever I dont think about big as a company. That's championing independent creators and making sure that they get compensate for their work. I dont know not what I think I wanna think of epic. and the parties didn't divulge the details around the deal. So we don't know how much it was for we don't know how much epic shelled out not sure how I would feel about this if I were a musician currently depending upon band cap to sell stuff to fans and stay connected with them, and I wonder if perhaps this was also a step toward epic games. Making it's own metaverse related moves, and I guess we're just going to have to wait and see elsewhere in the gaming world the streaming service Netflix is planning an acquisition of a finnish game company as a game company out of Finland, it's called next games.

and this company developed a mobile puzzle, rpg style game based on the Netflix property. Stranger things so Netflix has been taking a few moves into the gaming space, they established a division called Netflix and games last year. If you are a Netflix subscriber, you can actually use an app to download mobile games that are carried by Netflix games. You can play them without ads or in app purchases. It's part of your subscription. So there are those benefits like if you've ever played a lot of mobile games. You know most of them typically have a lot of ads or in app purchase items. So this is one way to experience. Or games. They don't have that. Of course, your limited to whatever Netflix Games is actually carrying. I have to look into Netflix games further at some point. Maybe do a full episode, because I'm a currently not sure how pop who are the services or how many Netflix users are even aware. It exists.

I've heard about it. I've never used it, but then to be fair. I also very rarely use netflix these days. It's almost like I'm just paying to have it once in a blue moon. I watch something on it, but I am rapidly approaching that point. Where I'm asking myself do. I need to maintain my net subscription baby. The games is the thing that will make me say yeah. No, I should keep it what to say: We have some more news items that we're going to go through after we take this quick break now and are there I'm just malaria confetti here, hi, I'm psyche- and I am a shady lady and welcome to boss level podcast, where we feature conversation. the gas to have levelled up bringing an experienced the table there was always.

That's or that a one size fits all quote: go to n a g insure dot com. Today, as in a g, I n S: U r e dot com, the that long ago I did an episode about the semiconductor business in Taiwan, and I specifically looked at the company t s m c

and I mentioned how Taiwan has a peculiar relationship with mainland China. short version is that the former chinese government prior to nineteen, forty five or so that's the chinese government. There was ousted by the Chinese Communist Party, which is currently controlling China, while that that former political party are governing body fled to Taiwan and took that over nearly a century ago and now. There's this uneasy tension between Taiwan, and and mainland China. You often hear too China's or you'll, hear like a unified China. There are a lot of rhetoric around that, but the the return of a unified China completely depends upon which party you're talking to because it's very different from the mainland perspective than from the Taiwan per and part of that tension emerges as acts of industrial espionage.

the taiwanese government is looking to pass some laws to protect the semiconductor industry from chinese spies. The law would pose a punishment for people who leak trade secrets to China or to other foreign enemy forces, and that parliament could be a prison sentence of up to twelve years The government is also looking to pass laws that would make it harder for I had to away engineering talent from Taiwan, so are these regulations are not yet law. They parliament in Taiwan will have to pass them before. That will happen, and adversarial relationship with mainland China is one of many reasons as to why there's been such a strong push round the world to develop new semi conductor, fabrication facilities, because it helps mitigate risks. Part of it was because of issues with covered impact. in the supply chain. But another part is that should China,

ever take any serious action to try and absorb Taiwan. It would have a massive ripple effect through the semi conductor, industry and tech as ingest, Will Apple Co. Founder Steve was Niac is one of several people behind a company called privateer, and the mission for that company is to set up a system that will identify track and catalog objects in space, so satellites and stuff, but also space junk and then make that information available to companies and countries that are intending to launch satellites and other spacecraft into earth. Orbit. Space junk and as a real threat in space. Even tidy objects can cause massive damage because you have to remember but they might be small their travelling super fast and

As we launch more stuff into orbit, then things get more and more crowded. Add accidents like collisions can create a lot more space. Junk stuff can break apart and just create kind of like a shotgun pellet approach, except these are shotgun pellets that are traveling at thousands. Miles per hour and then there's the various military tests we've seen in which countries like China have used land based weapons systems to target orbiting satellites and destroy them, thus, potentially creating a lot more space junk in orbit. So privateers goal is to get a better picture of what's actually going on up there. What, where are these pieces? How many are there? How fast are they traveling? What orbits are they in? and potentially that will allow us to spot problems early on and avoid them when we need to send missions out into space. Now the company committee hopes to launch some satellites of its own in the future for the purposes of spotting and tracking space, junk and yeah

I do recognise the irony of putting more stuff up into space so that you can figure out how much stuff is in space, but Satellites would, in theory, be able to identify very small pieces of space, junk like on the order of ten centimeters or or smaller up it could be incredibly valuable in fact, having that information would be incredibly valuable. It would be great if we could find a way to clean up space junk. There are bits of different proposals and in fact I've seen some titles that seem to suggest that private privateer was doing the really privateers more about. We can't even think about cleaning stuff up until we know how much stuff is there, and you know where it's at and to argue against that, you know, there's a long standing joke. In fact you could argue it's not a joke that if you upon a Mickey D's and he asked for an ice cream near just going be

told that the machines are broken and yeah big doubled, soft serve ice cream machines, have a reputation for being really finicky and that inspired a couple of technologists named Melissa, Nelson and Jeremy, O Sullivan to co, found a company called kitsch K, Whitey C H. Add Kitsch, subsequently created a phone sized electronic device. That can act to these ice cream machines that Mcdonald's uses and sell the device can actually read error codes on the machines and send messages to franchise owners, and they can access the those messages via an app or by a web portal, and then they can get notified when something is is not working properly so that they can get it fixed very quickly and minimize machine downtime, which has a positive impact on customer experience as well as on the rest

revenue. All barely corporate Mcdonald's didn't like this very much at all and in twenty twenty, the company set franchise odors messages that they were to remove the kitchen devices from their eyes grew machines because all day machines violated warranties and it also, according to the message, intercepted confidential information should now I don't know about you, but really curious. What the heck kind of confidential information and ice cream machine is actually generating or trends wedding? I guess it has to be related to the Cold WAR right cause ice cream, no cold war. Get it anyway

kit, cofounders say that the males included defamatory statements in them and, in fact, Mcdonald's was trying to force franchise owners to hold off for a future ice cream machine from the same company that so far as the limited deployment, but it does incorporate technologies that appear to have been cut. feed from kitchen products. So essentially they're saying not only are you you destroying our business You are infringing on our intellectual property. You have, you have copied it and you're you're muscling us out. That's what kitschy has been saying so catch a subsequently filed lawsuits against Taylor, which is the company that makes the ice cream machines. and Mcdonald's itself according to a wired article on the subject during the discovery period of the lawsuit against Taylor, Kitsch learned that the most that most of the opposition was coming straight from Mcdonald's, not from Taylor, but from court,

Mcdonald's itself. The article is well worth a read: it is titled ice cream, machine hackers, Sue Mcdonald's for nine hundred million dollars That is a heck of a headline and, finally, speaking of headlines, business insider reports that wingstop the restaurant known for chicken wings has filed a quote trademark: to sell chicken wings metaphors end quote that their headline was just about enough to make me want to walk into the woods and just live there, but anyway wing That is not the only restaurant going through these steps. Mcdonald's has done it to which leads one the wonder if I screamed machines are gonna work better and the matter verse anyway. It sounds like these trademarks include,

downloadable, virtual goods, so presumably stuff, like virtual, big macs and virtual wings. I guess, or maybe virtual clothing that has logos on it. I dunno and also it's supposed to cover things like nf ts that represent digital assets, seriously y'all. I cannot with this nonsense. It is making me feel, like I have stepped into a parody of the real world anyway, there may also be ways to order your real world food, while you're in the metaverse. So I don't know be in the future when you want to use it, livery service to order a big MAC or wings or something you first have to put on VR goggles and navigate to the closest virtual restaurant or something In all of this, of course, a lot of these moves could just be hail.
