Could Microsoft Have A Chanc?

 Could Microsoft have a change?  

You know, I just really love computers and news about computers. Getting kicked out of a store is super on brand for a punk so it kind of makes sense that Sony has removed Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store. 

Players can thank the games pervasive bugs and shockingly poor performanceon the PlayStation 4 for the removal, along withSony's strict refund policy. Players had trouble getting refunds see, because Sony couldn't seem to comprehend the fact that the game had passed a store approval but was getting so many complaints like it just, just didn't make sense. 

Microsoft is leaving the gameup on the Xbox Store for now and CD Projekt Red has said that they'll give players refunds directly if they have troublegetting them elsewhere. But the games removalfrom the PS Store caps off a bad week for CD Projekt Red as the most anticipated game of the decade turned out to be one of theworst launches of the decade. If you're a PlayStation 4 player who still wants to playsomething Cyberpunk related there is good news though. 

You can check out the newCyberpunk themed items in Death Stranding, which is paid. - [Man] Can play that,so many hours a week. - Awesome.(beep) The Cyberpunk Death Strandingthing is only on PC LOL. So that's funny, I guess. Microsoft is reportedlyworking on developing its own custom designed ARM processors for use in the company's cloud servers and possibly future surface devices. While the Surface Pro X whichinitially released last year is powered by the Microsoft SQ2 processor, I like to call it the sque-two for short. 

 [Man] Sque two. - It actually isn't designedby Microsoft at all. They worked with Qualcomm to modify that company's existing laptopSoC, the Snapdragon 8cx. 

So an ARM processordesigned fully in-house could help Microsoft compete with Apple Silicon powered or MacBooks. Now Bloomberg sourcessay Microsoft's ARM chip is being developed in thecompany's Azure Department, not in the Surface division, so don't get your hopes up yet if you're an ARM fanatic like me. 

I love ARMs. - [Man] I love. - They're great. I love to bear them. And this week U.S. cybersecurity officials revealed that multipleU.S. government departments and prominent corporationswere hit by an extremely sophisticated and dangerous cyber attack. The hackers were ableto exploit a backdoor in IT Software called Orion made by Texas based SolarWinds to breach the networks of Microsoft, the Energy and Commerce department, the National Nuclear SecurityAdministration, oops,

 the security firm FireEye and more. Microsoft was able to partially mitigate the security hole used by the hackers. But it's believed thatthey might have had access to these networks since March. Federal representatives haven't said who they think is responsible for the hack but some have pointedthe finger at Cozy Bear, the group believed be sponsoredby the Russian government. Don't be fooled, that bear isn't cozy, at all. - [Man] Right, very uncomfortable. - Now it's time for the bad quicks brought to you by the Seasonic Prime UltraTitanium PC power supply. It's the creme de lacreme of power supplies with ultra high efficiency andan 80 plus titanium rating. It's also fully modular and comes with a little testing dude add so you can turn it on without plugging it into your motherboard. That's super handy if you're trying to set upa custom water cooling loop, and it has a quiet fluiddynamic bearing fan with hybrid fan controlto keep the noise down. So go check it out. It's backed by a 12 year warranty.

 It could live longer than you. Buy it at the link below. Now it's time for the, you know what, they'recalled the jeans spots today. I don't even care. Google has been served with its second antitrustlawsuit of the week and its third of the year. This one comes from acoalition of 38 States and accuses the tech giantof favoring its own products in search results. Google responded witha blog post that said, we've sold so few pixel phones, we couldn't possibly befavoring our own devices. I mean, we've basicallygiven up on these things at this point. 

Don't even put flagshipprocessors in them anymore. Just kidding, that's not what they said. Google responded witha blog post that said that redesigning Googlesearch would hurt the internet and you don't wanna hurtthe internet, do you? Facebook is doubling downon its attacks against Apple who plans an update for iOS 14 that would allow users to block apps from tracking them for advertising. Apple has now respondedsaying that Facebook can still track usersjust like it did before, if the users let them do it. (man exclaims) And Facebook, if you think that's bad, you might be the bad one. 

The U.S. government apparently thinks Chinese companies are bad in general. So they've added dozens of them to the country's entity list, which is essentially a black list for companies that aren'tallowed to do business with the U.S. Among the new additions aredrone company, DJI and SNIC, one of China's biggest chip makers. I've never tasted Chinese chips. 

Do they taste red? And Epic Games has announcedSpotify is now available on the Epic Games storewhich sort of makes sense since the two companiesare united in their hate for the Apple tax. It's also noteworthy though because it's the first non-game listing on the Epic Games store. Maybe Epic is gearingup to make the case that they have a robust app storethat can compete with Apple's. Look, we have Spotify. And finally, a joint team of scientists has successfully teleported cubits across approximately 27miles of fiber optic cable. Of course, this isn'tlike actual teleportation. It involves transmitting information using entangled photons thatmirror each other states despite being separatedacross vast distances. So it's like barely cool at all. - [Man] Yeah, lemme knowif it teleport for real. - Yeah but it totallyis cool, like trust us. And this episode is also cool because it doesn't overstay, its welcome. See that it's over. Come back on Monday for moretech news just like this, but completely different, 'cause Monday is gonna be a new day.
