WEBVTT - Tech News: No News for Australia on Facebook

0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to tech Stuff, a production from I Heart Radio.

0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, and welcome to tech Stuff. I'm your host,

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan Strickland. I'm an executive producer with I Heart Radio

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:19.479
<v Speaker 1>and a law of all things tech. And this is

0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 1>the Tech News for Thursday, February twenty one. And starting

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:26.759
<v Speaker 1>with this episode, the news episodes are gonna get a

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>little shorter so I can really focus on a few

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:34.200
<v Speaker 1>big headlines as opposed to really trolling the news and

0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.960
<v Speaker 1>trying to pad out an episode. I feel like that's

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.600
<v Speaker 1>not doing anyone any favors. So we're going to really

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:44.879
<v Speaker 1>focus from here on out. So let's get started. Researchers

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:47.640
<v Speaker 1>with M I. T. Harvard University and E. T. H.

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Zurich are working on using machine learning to help treat

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 1>patients with COVID nineteen. So just quickly, machine learning refers

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>to a study a field of study within computer science

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 1>where you're using algorithms that can self improve over time.

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>So the goal with this particular study was to find

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 1>effective treatments for severe COVID nineteen symptoms within vulnerable population,

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 1>specifically elderly people who have COVID nineteen. The researchers identified

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 1>a potential starting point related to lung tissue, because as

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 1>we age, our lungs tend to become stiffer, and that

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 1>condition can make respiratory illnesses more difficult to manage. The

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:35.399
<v Speaker 1>researchers wanted to see if there are any existing medications

0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:39.320
<v Speaker 1>that might be effective for treating those symptoms. While other

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.680
<v Speaker 1>teams of doctors and researchers are working to develop new

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:45.960
<v Speaker 1>medications all the time for COVID nineteen and everything else,

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>that process is very slow, and for good reason. You

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 1>have to make sure that the treatment has a high efficacy,

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>and you have to learn what side effects the medication

0:01:56.160 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>might have. Existing medications have already gone through this uncle

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 1>testing process, so we have a good understanding of what

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 1>those medications do and the potential side effects of them,

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>but we don't necessarily know if any of them would

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>be particularly helpful in treating COVID nineteen symptoms. So the

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 1>team decided to look at genes and proteins that are

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 1>related to aging in general and this tendency for lungs

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>to grow more stiff over time. In particular. They're using

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 1>machine learning algorithms to whittle down a large list of

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>medications that might help to address the expression of those genes,

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 1>perhaps even going back several steps to the genetic root cause,

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>because you can really think of this as you know,

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:43.639
<v Speaker 1>a series of things that lead to this outcome. Now,

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 1>the algorithm looked at how various drugs affect the expression

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>of these particular genes and cross referenced that with another

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>data set about how genetic expression would respond after a

0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 1>COVID nineteen infection, and then the algorithm looked for drugs

0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 1>that might have an impact on gene expression that could

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 1>in turn decrease the severity of COVID nineteen symptoms. The

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 1>team is sharing their information with pharmaceutical companies, which can

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 1>then begin their own clinical trials to test the results

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>against you know, reality, and if it works, it could

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 1>make an enormous difference in the quality of life of

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>elderly COVID patients and potentially decrease mortality rates. Over at YouTube,

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the company recently shut down nearly three thousand channels that

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:33.079
<v Speaker 1>it says we're part of a state backed influence operation. Now,

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 1>the states in question were Russia and China. YouTube says

0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 1>that most of the channels were part of these Chinese

0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 1>programs meant to spread propaganda about stuff like US politics

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 1>and the COVID nineteen pandemic, all of it buried deep

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 1>in tons of videos about far less weighty matters like

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, celebrity gossip and pop culture topics. We're seeing

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 1>a more proactive approach from YouTube after years of criticism

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:02.400
<v Speaker 1>about how the company's moderation policy. These allowed misinformation campaigns

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>to run wild, and videos promoting extremist views were able

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>to get a foothold on the platform. Meanwhile, over at Weymo,

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>another company in the Google family, engineers are getting ready

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 1>for a really big test. Weimo is in the autonomous

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:22.159
<v Speaker 1>vehicle business. In case you didn't know, it had previously

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 1>conducted tests of self driving cars in Phoenix, Arizona primarily,

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>but now the company is preparing to launch an autonomous

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>vehicle testing phase in the San Francisco area. Weymo hasn't

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:38.360
<v Speaker 1>built their own vehicles. Instead, they took existing models from

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.720
<v Speaker 1>other car companies and then change those models to make

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 1>them self driving. The Jaguar or if you prefer, Jaguar

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.280
<v Speaker 1>I Pace, which is an electric vehicle suv, and the

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Chrysler Pacifica, which is a kind of minivan, make up

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the models in the fleet of autonomous cars. The goal

0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 1>is to build out an autonomous taxi service in the future,

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 1>but Weymo reps are really quick to point out that

0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.719
<v Speaker 1>there's still a long way to go before we get there.

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 1>The tests in the Bay Area will still include a

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>human driver or quote single vehicle operator, as a Weymo

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 1>rep told venture Beat. The company said that the test

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 1>will last several weeks. It begins this week and they

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:24.480
<v Speaker 1>have already conducted and they continue to conduct tests in

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 1>other parts of California. This test won't be open to

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 1>the public, so you're not gonna find yourself getting into

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 1>a Weymo driver less taxi just by happenstance. If you

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 1>happen to be a Weymo employee, maybe then you can

0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 1>participate in the study. While Weymo has been working hard

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.679
<v Speaker 1>to improve its technology, it also has had a small

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 1>number of cases in which a human operator felt it

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:51.279
<v Speaker 1>necessary to take control of the car. It's a pretty

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:55.239
<v Speaker 1>rare thing, however. Engadget reports that Weymo filed a report

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.360
<v Speaker 1>with the California Department of Motor Vehicles that explained that

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:00.719
<v Speaker 1>there were just twenty one cases and which an operator

0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.800
<v Speaker 1>felt it was necessary to take over the control of

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 1>the vehicle over a test period that included six nine

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 1>thousand miles driven by autonomous vehicles. Still, when it comes

0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 1>to autonomous cars and safety, the bar is incredibly high,

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 1>and you could argue it's justifiably so, because we've seen

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>what kind of tragedies can happen when an autonomous or

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>semi autonomous system fails to prevent an accident. Over in Australia,

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 1>the government is preparing to vote on a bill that

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 1>would require internet companies like Google and Facebook to pay

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>journalistic outlets media companies for content appearing on those tech

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.279
<v Speaker 1>companies platforms. So the argument is that if a company

0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:49.880
<v Speaker 1>like Facebook makes use of content from an Australian media company,

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 1>then Facebook should pay that media company for use of

0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:58.560
<v Speaker 1>that content. The legislation would create regulations forcing tech companies

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 1>to negotiate with media companies and agree upon a rate,

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 1>which might be a lump sum or it might be

0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.279
<v Speaker 1>a per click rate. It all depends on how the

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:12.880
<v Speaker 1>legislation gets hashed out. The Treasurer of Australia developed this

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.640
<v Speaker 1>idea after a study showed that companies like Facebook and

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:20.239
<v Speaker 1>Google receive a really big share of advertising dollars while

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 1>much of the content that was appearing in Australia we're

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 1>from Australian media organizations. But the tech companies have objected

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>to the wording of the proposed legislation, and now Facebook

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:35.640
<v Speaker 1>says it will not allow Australian users and media companies

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 1>to share links to news articles on Facebook. The managing

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 1>director of Facebook Australia and New Zealand wrote, quote, the

0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:49.600
<v Speaker 1>proposed law fundamentally misunderstands the relationship between our platform and

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.560
<v Speaker 1>publishers who use it to share news content. It has

0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:56.080
<v Speaker 1>left us facing a stark choice attempt to comply with

0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the law that ignores the realities of this relationship, or

0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:03.240
<v Speaker 1>stop allow news content on our services in Australia. With

0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 1>a heavy heart, we are choosing the ladder end quote.

0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>The sarcastic tone is purely editorial. Further, Australian users will

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 1>not be able to see posts that include links to

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 1>international news sources, and international users won't be able to

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 1>view or share Australian news content on Facebook. Effectively, Australian

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Facebook users are in a media blackout while they use Facebook. Now,

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.320
<v Speaker 1>this is a really complicated issue, one that actually goes

0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.440
<v Speaker 1>beyond technology, but I do think this move might add

0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.520
<v Speaker 1>more fuel to the fire for criticisms that companies like

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Facebook and Google are monopolistic or anti competitive. And it

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:49.440
<v Speaker 1>also kind of devalues Facebook's news feed if no news

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.680
<v Speaker 1>is allowed to be in it. Huh hey, do you

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 1>remember the Sony Pictures hack? Back in quick refresher, a

0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 1>group of hackers who identified themselves as the Guardians of

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Peace infiltrated Sony Pictures systems and stole a crap ton

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:08.840
<v Speaker 1>of data, including copies of unreleased films, emails, and personal

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.840
<v Speaker 1>information about Sony Pictures employees. The group indicated that the

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 1>hack was a response to Sony Pictures producing a movie

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 1>called The Interview. Uh. The plot of that comedy revolves

0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 1>around an assassination attempt on Kim Jong un, the leader

0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:27.560
<v Speaker 1>of North Korea. Sony ultimately canceled the theatrical release of

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 1>that movie and switched to a digital delivery method of distribution.

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.560
<v Speaker 1>And here we are seven years later in the U. S.

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Department of Justice has charged three hackers that they say

0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:39.440
<v Speaker 1>were involved in the Sony Pictures hack, as well as

0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:43.160
<v Speaker 1>some other cyber criminal activities like the development and distribution

0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.920
<v Speaker 1>of the Wanna Cry ransomware, malware, and hacks on various

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>cryptocurrency exchanges. The d o J says that the three

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.880
<v Speaker 1>hackers all belonged to hagging units that fall under the

0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.319
<v Speaker 1>authority of the North Korean military. In addition, the d

0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 1>o J revealed that a Canadian American citizen has pled

0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 1>guilty un charges of money laundering on behalf of North

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Korean hackers. Now, if you did follow the Sony Pictures

0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 1>case when it happened, you probably remember that North Korean

0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:11.440
<v Speaker 1>officials denied that there was any connection between the North

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Korea government or military and these hackers. You probably also

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.880
<v Speaker 1>remember that a lot of cybersecurity experts were, let us say,

0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:23.200
<v Speaker 1>skeptical of that claim. These charges continue to reject North

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Korea's objections to them, and as for the charges, it's

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.560
<v Speaker 1>very hard for me to imagine a scenario in which

0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:33.080
<v Speaker 1>North Korea would ever agree to extradite those charged to

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:36.520
<v Speaker 1>stand trial for the allegations. So really these charges are

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:40.720
<v Speaker 1>more of a name and shame approach. In the world

0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 1>of tech conferences, there are a few standouts that merit

0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 1>special attention. Ce s as a big one as his

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.679
<v Speaker 1>E three, but a third one is the Mobile World Congress,

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.400
<v Speaker 1>which holds events in different parts of the world throughout

0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:57.079
<v Speaker 1>the year, but it reserves its main exhibition for Barcelona, Spain,

0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 1>and as the name implies, the tech trade event for

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 1>focuses on mobile devices and apps for those devices. Now,

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.320
<v Speaker 1>in a normal year, more than a hundred thousand people

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:10.000
<v Speaker 1>attend the event. The g s m A, which organizes

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the conference, canceled the Barcelona event in due to the

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:17.080
<v Speaker 1>COVID nineteen pandemic, but plans are in place for the

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty one event to happen, though it is going to

0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:23.080
<v Speaker 1>take place later in the year by swapping places with

0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:28.280
<v Speaker 1>the Mobile World Congress Shanghai event. In addition, attendees won't

0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:32.120
<v Speaker 1>be required to receive a COVID vaccination prior to going,

0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.040
<v Speaker 1>probably because there's still a lot of uncertainty about who

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.880
<v Speaker 1>will be able to receive a vaccine win in many

0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:41.079
<v Speaker 1>parts of the world. Instead, attendees will have to test

0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 1>negative for COVID nineteen within seventy two hours of the

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:48.319
<v Speaker 1>event kicking off on June. The g s m A

0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 1>also says that it will limit attendance and expects no

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:54.640
<v Speaker 1>more than fifty people to go. Now I mean, I

0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 1>sincerely hope that this event and the Shanghai event are

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.600
<v Speaker 1>safe for every one concerned, but I have to admit

0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.280
<v Speaker 1>that these kind of big events still make me a

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 1>little nervous in a time when we're not really sure

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:13.440
<v Speaker 1>what the status is going to be for vaccinations. And finally,

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.840
<v Speaker 1>engineers with the University of California, San Diego showed off

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:20.720
<v Speaker 1>a really cool soft robot. It uses pressurized air to

0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 1>provide the needed to move around, and most astonishingly, it

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:29.160
<v Speaker 1>has no electronic components on board. Everything relies on tubes

0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>and valves to send pressurized air to specific limbs. The

0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:37.199
<v Speaker 1>robot has four legs. The team based the robots motion

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:41.840
<v Speaker 1>off of an African side necked turtle, utilizing quote diagonal

0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:45.600
<v Speaker 1>couplet git patterns end quote. Now, that essentially means that

0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:49.120
<v Speaker 1>the turtle walks by moving diagonally opposite limbs at the

0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 1>same time, like if it's taking a step forward with

0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:55.160
<v Speaker 1>its right front leg, it also moves its left back

0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.600
<v Speaker 1>leg forward at the same time and vice versa. Now,

0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.560
<v Speaker 1>the robot does this with a valve system controlling which

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:05.560
<v Speaker 1>limbs receive air, causing them to extend. The valves have

0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.800
<v Speaker 1>a delay, so the air flows into pairs of limbs

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 1>at different times, and the coordination of this results in

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:15.640
<v Speaker 1>the robot walking. Although walking is a generous term, it's

0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 1>more of a coordinated wobble. But then most days that's

0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:20.480
<v Speaker 1>all I can manage too, So who am I to talk?

0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Soft robots could have a lot of really cool potential uses,

0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:28.679
<v Speaker 1>including interacting and human environments where a soft robot poses

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:33.080
<v Speaker 1>less of a risk to we squishy humans. Think bay

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:36.679
<v Speaker 1>Max from Big Hero six. And that wraps up this

0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:42.160
<v Speaker 1>quick fire news round for Thursday, February twenty one. We'll

0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.880
<v Speaker 1>be back next week with more episodes of tech Stuff

0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.680
<v Speaker 1>and more news. If you guys have suggestions for things

0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 1>I should cover on tech Stuff, please let me know.

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:51.880
<v Speaker 1>The best way to do that is on Twitter with
