You know what button never works? The goddamn "never ask again" button when the apps ask you to rate them. According to the developers "never" means not this week.
They do when you hit the 1-star button.
I'm pretty sure "Never" translates to "until the next time we update the app" in mobile-app speak. So yeah, pretty much next week
@@BobSentell but then there are apps that won't let you use the app unless you rate them 5 stars or something
@@emperordragon1794 That is against TOS and you can report it
@@AyeeSecret And yet how many reviews say "Collected as part of a promotion" or some such. They don't even need to hide it anymore. They openly flaunt their disregard for laws and ethics.
"I've heard of cloud storage, but this is ridiculous" that was actually gold.
"Make visible buttons," they said.
"They'll *_make_* users *_think_* they actually *_do_* something," they said.
"I thought you said that you wouldn't track me?"
*"Think different."*
It does do something. It snuffs the competition.
Its really easy to code in a Button its even Easier to make it do nothing
Apple, not even once.
Those are more like toggles than buttons
0:10 No one in today's world is that honest. "Your Privacy is safe with us". Companies just make claims in air and does not fulfill it.
“Privacy safe with us” - they keep our data private and use it themselves. technically not a lie but still fucked.
Well technically they never specified what they meant by "with us"...
The problem is that people believe Apple. Apple followers are part of some kind of cult.
I mean they can steal all your personal data and that statement is still true if they don't sell it
"Your data is safe from our competition"
Back when Apple started banging the privacy drum, I stated that it was ultimately about reaping the benefits of becoming the sole gatekeeper to users’ data, that in 5-10 years they’d go into full monetization mode and users either wouldn’t care anymore and/or wouldn’t have an alternative. People called me a hater, crazy, or paranoid for not accepting Apple’s marketing at face value.
EDIT: If nothing else, remember that at the end of the day Apple is a publicly traded corporation beholden to their shareholders to extract as much value from their customers as they possibly can.
You could still argue that angering customers and the government for short term profit is not the best move for the highest profit.
Except the U.S government is apparently completely declawed and can give love slaps at best. Hopefully Germany and the EU in general have a thing or two to say. They're probably our only chance.
@@ghosthunter0950 It’ll be explained away as an honest mistake. They’ll wait for a while, and then try something similar or a workaround. Corporations have far more patience than most humans.
@@ghosthunter0950 well you see, privacy is not a right you get as a US citizen so there's nothing they can really do
I never believed they cared about privacy ever, and it was all PR. The companies that actually believe/believed in privacy either have a questionable history and still make mistakes, are shadows of their former self (Blackberry), or don't exist any more.
we still call you a crazy paranoid hater. especially since Google has been doing the same thing for over a decade
Where is the Anonymous Elector button for teams where it says "This meeting should have been an email" and locks everyone out of the teams app for 24 hours if majority wins?
Why would they have a good and useful feature in teams?
The next feature will be that you can watch pr0n with your colleagues, for team building.
@@xmlthegreat It'll even auto-emoji to everyone else when you hit a certain point in the watch experience! 💦
As much as I hate meetings wouldn't everyone press this option every time then? I sure would
@@RisingRevengeance that's the point
Yeah, this is what a bunch of us assumed when Apple announced those new app privacy restrictions. There was conveniently nothing against Apple following them. I just don't know who was dumb enough to assume something like this wouldn't be found out on iOS eventually...
I always took their claims a grain of salt.
The only thing about Apple saying privacy are A) their marketing and B) some popups. No one who actually cares about privacy or anyone with a reasonable sense of skepticism would believe that. But that's not really who they were targeting to begin with. They just wanted to have this image up for 'normies' to set their minds at ease and to mostly silence critics. Have you ever skimmed their privacy policy? They make it look like their eledgible to your first born child.
Who was dumb enough? First clue, anyone holding an iPhone. 😊
Apple always keeps some functionalities of iOS for its own apps, so that other apps cannot compete with it. So this it's no different. Saw it coming a mile away.
Thinking that Apple don't exploit privacy just as marketing tool was always foolish idea for years.
I remembered a comment from when Apple launched the privacy feature where they said something like "its to keep you safe, except from us." Damn it aged well.
Well, that's not true. In case you were wondering, "not true" is the same as "false".
Remember thinking apple would protect data 😂
Sadge
I thought this was just a known thing that they didn't sell your data but they kept it for themselves
Nope
No not even for a second
Would rather give it to Apple as opposed to any other company. If you have a Apple Watch, you are literally giving them your health data. Something called trust, my boi
At this point, I'm surprised people are surprised about this. Companies always collect data from you whether in browsing, apps or their standalone services. Privacy against other companies but meant for them. It's pretty much obvious at this point.
Who is surprised?
@@officialhideyo I mean the made a techlinked about it so?
@@officialhideyo mate there are countless apple fanboys who don't want to take personal accountability for what it is they're buying/supporting. The EU just got a shiny new tyrannical precedent to prove as much. Don't buy from companies that don't respect you. Privacy respecting alternatives cost more and often have less features sure, because no-one buys them. There is no economy-of-scale and no competition for feature development. It comes down to how large of a weight you put on each feature. If you genuinely do not care about privacy, value, etc. and just want features and simplicity then Apple is a perfectly fine option. Otherwise shut the hell up and stop acting either empathetic when apple screws over it's customers, or pissed off when your among them. Everyone buying from apple has had EVERY capacity to predict crap like this would happen, they just chose and choose to ignore it.
There are privacy laws and agreements. We need proper enforcement of these laws to protect our privacy. It has major implications.
@@Google_Does_Evil_Now Implications that Apple's lawyers are ready and willing to fight against saying it's perfectly right for them to do so. They planned it from the start, so they had all this time to prepare their defense.
The only thing they dont seem to track is if you click the ‘dont track me’ button
The easiest way to cut emmissions and reduce energy requirements for DATA centres is to cut the amount of DATA being collected and subsequently being stored. If the amount of storage space is limited in aailability then companies will have to prioritise which DATA is more important to them rather than "trawling the ocean floor" as is currently the case.
nah image and video from user who upload is take 100x space than ur personal info
@@tonyhart2744 only 100? it’s probably in the hundreds of thousands of times. netflix used to be 95% of ALL internet traffic in the US.
Say goodbye to Netflix!
@@AmeshaSpentaArmaiti Traffic isn't data center space. Video is probably still the majority, but any mass media like netflix only need a limited number of copies of the data.
But the data is worth money and they want the money
"Let's put data centers in space"
Gamma Ray Bursts, neutrinos, Solar flares: 👁👄👁
As long as ppl pay money for overpriced GPUs nvidia will never change. The wallet talks and sure everyone is entitled to spend their money how they want but the fact that HIGH gpu prices keep getting a higher threshold its now a luxury not a necessity. I went from an AMD RX580+i7-8700 PC that I used for almost 4 years before upgrading to an i9-12900KF + RTX3070 this past August. It was worth the upgrade for me as I wanted to be able to play on my 1440P 144Hz monitor to its fullest ability. I didn't overpay for my 3070 but I definitely didnt get a deal of any kind. I'll be holding on to my new pc for atleast another 4 yrs.
We don't actually know though if scalpers bought them without any forethought as to whether they'd actually be in any serious demand or not. The real test of demand is going to be if the demand actually lasts this time or is just going to fall off a cliff and then scalpers will get stuck with an absolute hoard of super expensive GPUs that few people actually want to buy. Also, Nvidia may be artificially limiting supply. Also, this isn't the pandemic anymore and people can now get graphics cards locally.
The thing about space data centers is that you might not need cooling systems, but there's the problem of radiation of space.
Watch Veritasium's "Space is hostile to computers".
@@pistolfied Oh, I see!
Can they use water to cool elelctronics? Since it's a great absorber to heat, and then let the water cool in space maybe?
dude it depends of if you're exposed to the sun. it's cold in darkness hot when you're in light. A Geosynchronous will do
@@0x0michael thats when you dont produce heat yourself. Data centres produce tons of heat and also need energy to operate which requires fuel or solar energy, so they need active cooling. Once the system gets hot where do you dump the heat? We all know space is a bad medium for doing so.
That cloud storage joke was astronomical.
You could say that it really landed 🚀
@@philvanveel it took off
@@pneumonoultramicroscopicsi4065 to the moon and beyond.
@@CathrineMacNiel Probably LEO actually
I remember an independent youtuber that made an investigation of how much information did some phones send with all the privacy settings, and yes Apple was by far the largest amount, when he asked about it, they just told him "that's just how cellphones work"
This episode was heat not gonna lie. The lines and zingers even the quickbits was dope. Props 🔥
You mentioned launch in a data center in the space, how did Artemis finally getting off the ground not get mentioned? That’s like the biggest tech achievement in years
While I am excited for the new platform there's not too much groundbreaking going on with this first phase. At the core stage they're still using previously used RS-25D engines. The advancements in the capsule are much more pronounced compared to the Apollo missions.
@@Tokamak3.1415 not too much groundbreaking!? It's the biggest, baddest launch system in the world right now. delayed 6 years I think it's pretty incredible and groundbreaking. Nasa for the first time since the space shuttle can put things in orbit on its own now.
why is that the biggest tech achievement? There have been so many rockets going to space, moon, mars, other planets and far asteroids. When Artemis lands on the moon manned, sure, but this is just another rocket launch, quite frankly. And the rocket isn't special beyond it's size.
Someone in the office brought it up after we had our stories finalized - and while it's cool, this mission is just a moon fly-by, no? Once we're landing there again or doing a manned mission I think that'll be more worthy of a half-baked techlinked joke
@@techlinked so actually flying into space isn't as tech worthy as "thinking" about flying something into space, got it. The data center lobby in strong at TechLinked! (although if they bribed you with Petabytes in the cloud, I'd take that bribe too considering the LTT record with ZFS pools and power outages 🙈🙉🙊 )
Seems like people here in Norway are not really buying the 4080. The most popular e-tailer here still has ~370 of them in stock. That being said, the price for a 4080 here starts at $1500-$1600 while the 4090 starts at around $2000.
It's the same in Denmark. Even last years GPUs are still pretty pricey
@@davidrgrech0 I was lucky enough to get a 3080 at launch for retail. So for me it's insane to pay a $1000 difference (more than double the msrp over the 3080) for 20-30% performance increase.
Wow. Cant wait to see a multi $trillion company hit with a $30 million fine.
If it's filed in the US, I'm hard pressed to expect a monetary fine of anything over even $10-million to be brutally honest.
If it's filed in the EU, though, $1-billion is lowballing it.
It will go in the pockets of the politicians. All of them, on both sides.
These companies should pay their users everytime they collect data.
Apple fans be like "I don't mind daddy apple tracking me 😔"
Apple Simps
@@brady50429 what do you want us to do, switch to google for more privacy?
Y'all know we can hate this shit and just hate the alternatives more, right?
@@Eunostos just don't believe apple when talk BS about privacy and security and remember that it is more of a marketing material than an actual benefit. It applies to every company
@@Eunostos you could either use the way Alex described or use a opensource phone like pinephone to be free of google and apple shit.
@@Eunostos Oh you still believe Apple has your best privacy interests after all this, still clinging onto this mistaken belief that it is GOOGLE that wants to see us digitally naked? Methinks your tinfoil hat isn't wrapped tight enough on your head.
I expected apple to take my data but using an ID to track me across all first party apps? that's wayyyy too much.
"What? A UUID is _universal,_ not personal. That means it cannot hold info about you, so you're safe!"
- Apple, probably
That's cool that you can play games in Teams and all, but can I just get basic functionality like choosing what resolution my camera uses and the ability to not mirror my video to myself so I can see what other people actually see?

@@scrambledmandible Fortunately, there might be a few on the market right now looking for work!
The last joke was amazing!!! 🤣🤣
A satellite data center is a cool idea. I imagine it will have lots of space for customer data.
And no regulations, as the law of space rules 🤣
/s idk what I'm actually talking about 😁
Will it support Galaxy devices though?
@@Akab I mean realistically, regulation only really applies if your able to enforce it.
Though Space force open up does sound terrifying the prospect is still way to futuristic.

"Hey, we said we will let anyone collect your data, we're not anyone , we're your family"
Apple at court, probably
you had "fake laughter" but i genuinely laughed at that "cloud storage" joke haha
2:44 that is actually hilarious. A day prior on twitter Elon musk tweeted that twitter on android was very slow. One of twitter's employee responded publicly that he was overexaggerating the numbers and that twitter was slow on android because twitter is bloated. He then got immediately fired and people celebrated the firing. Anyways, it seems that the employee ended up being correct and Elon Musk went with fixing the bloated issue. But of course, he asked for the change to happen the very next day. Of course, things broke down
The cloud joke killed me. Well done.
Some tech news after a long working day... For some reason, I enjoy this a lot. 😊😊😊
Isn't the Do Not Track feature intended across apps? So "app A" can't track anything when a user switches to "app B"
Cooling a data center in space would be an absolute nightmare
Best TechLinked yet!

in sweden there are still PLENTY of 4080 to buy, just checking one website there are more than 110+ cards available
Louis Rossmann actually just did a video on Apple collecting data regardless of your settings.
"And you'll see why 1984 won't be like '1984'" sounds more like a threat then something positive like I'm sure it was meant to. Like yeah it won't be like "1984" because all that stuff will be a lot more subtle than in the book/movie and you'll be willingly allowing that stuff to happen.

Wow class action lawsuit, I'm sure that 'll net the lawyers a couple of millions and the consumers $.01
Did any of us really think those buttons worked? "We're totally not going to track you if you say we can't!" lol, sure.
More about Do Not Track (DNT), the W3C, with Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook, etc., started work on the DNT protocol, which is just a header flag, back in 2011, but has never settled on an implementation. The same companies that created the protocol have actively obstructed its purpose.
Was that really a surprise? I've always known it and I'm pretty sure it's in their t&c. Apple didn't add the disable tracking feature for their users. They did it because it'll make them the monopoly for the ads shown in iPhones.
And because it sounds good. Same reason they got rid of chargers "for the enviroment" while being one of the largest contributers to ewaste.
A data center in space. Latency will be interesting. And will there be some annoyed IT admin up there to manage the servers?
We need more James !!!
tech linked getting better with the intermittent jokes/skits. keep it up!
On the topic of placebo buttons, in chromium based browsers (at least edge and chrome) the setting to stop autocompletion as you type in the search bar does absolutely nothing. Like I want to type just the word "car" but no, It always ads whatever I searched previously and I have to always press backspace on every search request i do.
Firefox is better in terms of autocomplete settings and functionality, especially with DuckDuckGo search engine (not the browser) for casual unbubbled searches. More advanced unbubbling requires a different approach considering the current wartime situation.
Maybe you've only disabled the type of autocomplete that reaches out for search suggestions? That's beyond using search history or browser history, which are local. They can be separately turned off in FireFox.
Also, DuckDuckGo uses Microsoft for tracking users. It's the same as using Bing if you're worried about big tech scraping things.
@@ashkebora7262 I tried all possible settings and looked online for solutions and found many others with the same gripe/issue, which confirmed that this is a permanent feature.
The jokes in this episode are just 🔥🔥🔥 great job writers and James!
Radiative cooling an entire datacenter in space sounds like fun.

Space is very cold, but it’s also very empty/thin. So while unheated things in space will freeze in time, hot things in space are also very difficult to cool down.
Better idea: Data centers in Antarctica.
We don't need the ice at the polar caps melting faster. This is a bad idea.
@@xmlthegreat Pretty sure that has more to do with global temperatures and air currents, not heat produced locally. A 1km by 1km massive data center would at worst melt ice and snow around it, which would run off for 100m or so before freezing solid again.
Companies be like "we need more space for data storage",
Thales, EUAS & Leonardo: We got you fam!
The main reason to move them into space is water usage that servers use to cool the building and the parts. You move it to space where it's always super cold and there is no moisture you can save loads of water and possibly some power as you won't need pumps and the parts should run cooler which makes them more efficient. Only problem is servers full of electronics parts and space/sun off puts loads of harmful stuff to electronics they would need to be protected better somehow as earth currently acts as a big protective layer for electronics. Also something goes wrong you can't just fix it easily if it's in space.
@@Bigdog1787 I was being punny 😜

The issue is that to solve some problems you create another. Which in some cases are just as bad as the root cause. I'm talking about privacy and also about tracking and AI training for misbehaving players.
Misbehaving players are the best part though, I love to watch the saltmine as my opposing team crumbles because I stomped all over their top laner
@@pistolfied ignore doesn't work but giving a block/blacklist button makes life really easy. Which these cowards will surely remove at some point now that they claim to be "fixing" toxicity.
I'm convinced that Nvidia fanboys would buy a $1000000 graphics card at this point lol.
Reviewers: "It's a skip generation... Not worth it"
"OMG I NEED TO BUY IT TAKE ALL MY MONEY NVIDIA"
Wasn't there a bunch of buzz around MSFT's underwater server-pods or whatever slogan they were using? that sounds a bit better than shooting them into space. That would be slightly easier to service.
"But we're friends though, right James?"
The way he left him on read is killing me lmao
Well done gamers👍2000+$ GPUs next time for you
And people are still defending it.
Just like audiophiles, gamers will gladly overpay for shit they never need, always. NVIDIA can price their 4090s at $10K and gamers will still buy them like Twinkies.
even if Elon manages to improve something about Twitter he doesn't deserve any kudos. He can't even handle justified criticism without his ego going berserk and having to show everyone how tough he is by firing people for no good reason.

I'm sure they already know about orbit pollution for launching data centers in low orbit space, whether they attach those data center servers to the ISS or allow "objects" to be destroyed by satellite debris.
So Apple is doing exactly what Google is doing?! Shocking!

I might allow the datacenter in space thing, for the sole purpose of some random startup getting to claim they're "the only _real_ cloud platform"
If someone farts around my phone, Google starts sending me ads on bathroom spray.
Spoiler - servers in space is an absolutely retarded idea with our current tech. Not only will the cost of launching a datacenter be more than 10x the lifetime cost of an equivalent server room, any time a server goes down due to a hardware fault, you'll end up paying thousands or perhaps millions of times more to fix it than you would for a ground-based server.
Yeah, I couldn't even be bothered to take it seriously...
This is on the same level of stupidity as launching nuclear waste into space.
Going up into space is quite cheap if you use space x it costs about the same as putting a regular plane in the air. The main reason they want it in space is to conserve water as servers use a massive amount even when they recycle most of that water. You move it to space with no moisture and it's always extremely cold you not only save on water what electricity as well. Only problem is space is a harsh environment especially to electronics and earth protection layers protect our tech. They would need to somehow protect vs these harmful rays and all the other bad space stuff.
@@ghosthunter0950 No it is worse than that, dropping nuclear waste on a planet is a better idea than space datacenters. Sea Datacenters are great though
@@Bigdog1787 and how do u plan to dump the heat produced by the system into space? space in not a good conductor of heat so even tho space is cold you cant dump heat without convection. Also where will you get thousands of watts to run that thing up there forget about maintenance.

Nvidia "sells out" but what was the number sold?
Was it 50, 5,000, 500,000?
The numbers matter. Sold Out can mean you sold 1 if that's all you had in stock.
And Stock Location can be adjusted on systems to make it look like the stock is not available, or is available. I used to work with such systems. Anyone who's worked in manufacturing and logistics can tell you about this.

Thales are a major supplier to the Australian Defense Force, they built the Bushmaster AFV that's currently seeing use in Ukraine.
