best known for the now-defunct Apollo app for Reddit, |
has now had Juno, |
his third-party YouTube app for the Vision Pro, |
shut down, |
most likely at Google's request. |
While Selig probably saw this coming, |
the closure means that there is no longer a chance for it |
to become a YouTube app for the platform. |
YouTube claimed that a native app for Vision Pro |
was on its roadmap back in February, |
but that the company was focused |
on ensuring a great experience in Safari, |
an experience that continued to suck |
for several months afterwards. |
What are the odds that we get an official YouTube app on Meta's Orion |
before we get one on the Vision Pro? |
Mark looks really good. |
I can't stress this enough. |
I cannot tell you how good his curls look |
after that Cthulhu deal. |
AMD's new flagship X870 and X870E motherboards |
are now available, |
and that's fine. |
The X870 non-E could be considered a downgrade for some use cases, |
since it has the same single Promontory 21 die configuration |
as last gen's lower tier B650 mobos. |
And on top of that, |
some PCIe lanes will need to be dedicated |
to accommodating USB 4, |
which is great, |
provided you can take advantage of USB 4, |
more objectively, |
What's effectively bad is that many X870 motherboards |
do support Wi-Fi 7, |
but don't have the hardware |
to go above Wi-Fi 6E speeds. |
Because once again, |
tech specs don't actually mean anything |
and are purely vibes based. |
Reddit has changed its settings |
to stop users from protesting. |
Last year, |
when the API changes were announced, |
Redditors protested by turning subreddits private or only showing not safe for work content. |
Right, it was a bit of a minefield for a second there. |
Now, setting a subreddit to private |
or changing a safe for work subreddit to not safe for work |
requires Reddit's permission. |
VP of Community, Laura Nestler, told The Verge |
that the change has been in motion since at least 2021, |
but it was accelerated by last year's events. |
The official Reddit post says protests are still allowed, |
just not ones that actually impact the site. |
You know, protests Reddit can ignore. |
You have the right to protest in your own basement. |
It's the only King joke I've made in this episode. |
And California has updated its consumer privacy act |
to protect individuals' neural data, |
preventing tech firms from collecting, sharing, |
or selling info collected from |
your nervous system. |
A similar law protecting brain data |
was passed in Colorado earlier this year. |
Unfortunately, this is necessary |
because the dark future is approaching |
and someone has to stop the corpos from trying to protect |
or trying to download your consciousness |
while you scroll a brain dance. |
I never played Cyberpunk, |
so I don't know what I just said, |
but it felt cool. |
And okay, fine, |
I'll tell you why I'm dressed this way. |
It's Riley week on Floatplane. |
So I guess that means that I've dressed like a king. |
I'm the king of Floatplane. |
I got to make videos like however I want. |
So watch these clips. |
Gotta get the blood up. |
The core issue with Star Wars today, as I see it, |
is that it's struggling to change itself |
How is your Tim Cook impression so good? |
I don't know. |
The ship is not moving. |
Shoot the ship. |
What does being a minimalist actually mean? |
I'm gonna be so loud. |
I'm gonna be so disruptive. |
Bing bong. |
How is Riley's mom? |
You keep my mom's name out your- |
So subscribe to Floatplane |
if you want to see those |
and come back on Friday for more tech news. |
And also on Friday, |
my 20 minute rant about Star Wars on Floatplane, |
as I've mentioned. |
Be there, choom. |
Still don't know what that means. |
Used to be a king, you know, |
