Hey guys Brainy here and today I have another video for you.
This is another episode of tech news and my main source from today's video is The Verge.com.
I actually have a bunch of really interesting things to talk about in this video and with
that being said lets get into the video.
It looks like we're seeing another leak of what the Samsung galaxy s8 will look like.
New leaked pictures show off Galaxy S8 and S8+ side by side.
It's not much of a surprise with the design but it really is interesting that we're
getting so many "leaks" as we're getting closer and closer to the phones official announcement
date.
The smaller S8 on the left allegedly has a 5.7-inch display, the same size as last year's
ill-fated Galaxy Note 7, which makes the relative size of the 6.2-inch S8+ even more impressive.
That's about all I have to say with this leak but if you wanna keep updated on more
tech leaks on either the galaxy s8 or iphone 8 don't forget to pay attention to my uploads
and video titles so that you can keep yourself in the loop.
Onto the next story, Twitch replaced its homepage with a Twitter clone for gamers.
Broadcasters can now post to their friends and followers with a mix of text, links, images,
and videos.
These will appear to the broadcaster's followers on the Twitch homepage in a reverse- chronological
stream, just as on Twitter.
(They're also coming to Twitch's mobile app, but not at launch.)
If you're a broadcaster, you suddenly have an easy way to share highlights with fans
who missed your last stream — as well as promote your next stream, or anything else
you want.
Top Twitch streamers all have over 1 million followers apiece, and it's easy to imagine
them turning to Pulse to grow their audiences and keep them entertained while they're
not broadcasting.
But as on Twitter, anyone can contribute, and their posts will appear to friends and
followers as well.
Twitch has been thoughtful about how to moderate on comments on Pulse.
If a broadcaster chooses, they can limit reactions to only their friends, or only people who
subscribe to their channel.
Broadcasters can also delete comments.
This change in Twitch is not what I'd consider ground breaking but it does make a major improvement
to the site.
While not everyone will embrace this change fully I think it will be a major catalyst
for this website.
Streamers will be able to reach many more people with this new update as far as I know
and it seems to have given the site a really interesting new look.
Onto our next story, Nintendo's Joy-Con controllers also work with Windows, Mac, and
Android devices.
Yeah the Nintendo Switch is obviously still in the news and with every bit of info that
comes out, fans of the device are gravitating towards it more and more.
French Nintendo fan site Nintendo Actu has been experimenting with Joy-Cons on Windows
and Android devices, and software engineer Sam Williams has discovered Nintendo's controllers
also work on macOS.
On a Windows PC the separate Joy-Cons can be paired over Bluetooth, but you'll need
an app like JoyToKey to map the buttons to mouse and keyboard controls.
Such functionality isn't surprising, especially given that you could use Nintendo's Wiimote
on PCs thanks to Bluetooth, and the Joy-Cons are simply identifying as similar Bluetooth
controllers.
So yeah, you learn something cool everyday.
Onto other news, The CIA is hacking Samsung Smart TVs, according to WikiLeaks docs.
WikiLeaks has published a new set of documents that shed light on the CIA's hacking capabilities.
Dubbed "Vault7," the publication contains 8,761 documents and files purportedly taken
from a secure network within the CIA's headquarters at Langley, Virginia.
The files contain numerous exploits for both iOS and Android devices, dating from between
2014 and 2016.
The agency seems to have had more success targeting Android devices, with roughly 24
weaponized exploits, compared to 14 for iOS.
The exploits come from a variety of sources, including partner agencies like the NSA and
GCHQ or private exploit traders.
In one case, a published iOS 8 kernel attack is listed as an exploit, credited to security
researcher Stefan Esser.
Another of the published exploits — codenamed "Weeping Angel" — appears to target
Samsung smart TVs, which drew criticism on release for their always-on voice command
system.
According to WikiLeaks, the exploit makes the television "operate as a bug, recording
conversations in the room and sending them over the Internet to a covert CIA server."
The documents themselves paint a more ambiguous picture, with possible applications focusing
on credential extraction rather than direct audio recording.
And that in itself is pretty, well, I wouldn't say scary, but it does raise up a few questions.
What exactly does the CIA hope to gain from all this information, and are they sharing
it with other countries.
I may not be the most educated on the ways of the CIA but it does seem to me that this,
if proven true is a breach of privacy, and sticking with this topic we have another bit
of news from Google.
Google says it's already fixed many exploits from WikiLeaks' CIA document dump.
Google has fixed many of the vulnerabilities in its Chrome and Android platforms identified.
In a statement provided to Recode by Heather Adkins — Google's director of Information
Security and Privacy — Google said that it was "confident that security updates
and protections in both Chrome and Android already shield users from many of these alleged
vulnerabilities," that its analysis of remaining security flaws was ongoing, and that it would
"implement any further necessary protections."
Adkins' statement came a day after WikiLeaks released 8,761 documents and files it said
that it obtained from the CIA's Center for Cyber Intelligence.
Included in the files were a number of apparent exploits for Google's platforms, as well
as methods for accessing iOS devices, and Samsung Smart TVs.
Apple released its own statement a short time after the documents appeared online with a
similar message to Google's — the company said it had patched out a number of vulnerabilities
already and was working on fixes for remaining problems.
Both Google and Apple said that "many" of the flaws had been patched, but both companies
stopped short of specifying exactly how many exploits had been removed, and how many still
remained in Android, Chrome, and iOS.
Those flaws could — the supposed CIA documents claim — be used for a range of nefarious
purposes, including monitoring incoming and outgoing communications, tracking users, and
even taking control of their devices.
And it really is interesting that Both Google and Apple are taking the necessary steps to
keep the trust of their users.
And that's it for today's episode of Tech News!!
