3:20 I don't like the way that whenever Google brings out a new service it's droped 2 years later. Then it's either unsupported, removed or merged.
If Google doesn't even have faith in their own products how can other people want to use it?
It has nothing to do with faith. Google's turnover rate is insane to the point where they don't even hire people anymore, they just use contract employees. After 2 years, almost nobody in the team working on the app works at Google anymore, most likely, and the new guys don't want to have to pick up where they left off with no prior devs to guide them.
@@Daktyl198 Sometimes I wonder if Google hopes to hit a jackpot instead of focusing on the product and making it better.
My guess is that most of the time, the services are removed _because_ nobody uses it. It's a business, if their product doesn't work (financially), they drop it.
Google uses a brute force approach to success. They have had a reputation for doing things that way for a long time. Instead of trying to predict what will be good they just try everything and drop the things they don't like.
Throw enough s*** at a wall and some of it will stick!
It's funny how different this is from the enterprise side. I'm a software engineer that makes cloud software on Google cloud platform, and all of the services and systems are stable and well maintained.
I love how Riley laughs in the background at jokes he probably wrote himself. So wholesome.
Riley is the best
Someone has to laugh at them. Never found anything that's come from him to be funny 🤷🏻♂️
James delivery also helps with that
Riley is the worst. I can’t stand him.
@@TheBorhork Who's paying you to hate on Riley on every video?? Is it Colton? 🤡🤡🤡
James and Riley's banter makes me smile. It has been awhile since they connected but it always makes me happy when they do.
reminds of the days of Inside gaming daily news.
The Office exploit is even worse because if you save the malicious document as a .rtf file, literally just previewing it or checking it's properties in file explorer will cause the exploit to work, without opening the document even once.
Really? Well shit
Your computer does in fact have to open a file in order to preview it.
@@CanIHasThisName I am meaning the file explorer preview, both in just the icon (like with images) or something like the preview window for PDFs and co, which is enabled especially on many work-computers by default, so people tend to don't even think about it.
@@Das_Unterstrich Well, yes. It takes advantage of many people's almost complete lack of understanding of how computers work.
How on earth did Microsoft think that office security issue wasn’t going to be a problem?
🤣🤣🤣 becouse privacy and security are a joke to them
Are you old enough to remember the wide-open Office script vulnerabilities back around 1998ish?
@@tornadotj2059 not really, where can I read more about it?
Do you find it weird that a freaking document viewer needs a *protected mode* in the first place? My policy is "send me a PDF or you haven't sent me anything".
BTW, OnlyOffice is capable of opening/editing MS Office documents, I wonder if it is affected by the same vulnerability.
fact about the office hack, in some cases you dont need to even open the file. just highlight it or preview it.
"it never stops!!" That's how I feel when my brain starts creating and playing covers of songs in crappy recorder playing out of nowhere...
That Goodwill ransomware is a hilarious read. Most of the stuff seems fairly easy and affordable to do then the end of it requires you to go to a hospital and pay someone's medical bills! Good luck to any Americans who get targeted lol. Though from watching Mental Outlaw's video on it, it seems that the "command and control" servers have been taken down so maybe you don't have to worry about taking out an extra mortgage to get your computer back.
What would they do if you live in a country with free healthcare
@@StuffAndMore Show a copy of last years tax returns lmao
@@Psychomon still less than my USA ones q_q
@@Psychomon What's that? o.o
@Carl Gunderson "Free" 😂
'You know the physical toll that 3 bill blocks can have on a person...'
This the office reference is hilarious 😆
Can't get enough of that tech news
I like how every social media that would comply with that social media law would automatically be banned in the EU
Social media shouldn't be such a fat fookin collusion then.
I for one welcome this change.
@SoundwaveSinus9 I mean, either EU changes their rules to be more freedom, or we lose access to the big social media. Either way it's a win.
@@dhxmg I'd rather not have _everything_ turn into Stormfront though.
@@dhxmg "freedom"
Office is also using our data contextually that we put into OneDrive, they even admitted it. So their machine learning models actually read our private documents. Not a fan.
OH my fucking gods, that "dead meet" joke really got to me and my friend.
Good one
actually the same exploit appears in .rtf files on windows when office is installed, meaning that when you just display the file and it tries to generate a thumbnail it will execute the payload
With a 250gb ssd being like 50aud or less in this day and age i feel like 128gb for any laptop model even a surface go is totally unacceptable in any price range.
that’s just a standard run of the mill SSD, most laptops now use NvMe drives
@@greylawson6352 yeah no chief. A 240gb nvme is like 49aud for me. Also i dont remember them using nvmes in surfaces previously but if they are any m.2 sata or nvme is just as cheap as a 2.5" if not cheaper now days and thats prices for me from a reseller microsoft would pay pennies.
Its more of an issue of the fact now days 250gb ssds are cheaper to make than 120gb ssds and theyre faster because chips have become so dense that making such small capacity chips is harder than making larger ones
First World elitist viewpoint. There are people who can't afford laptops with Celerons and 64GB of eMMC in third world countries like South Africa. Cutting costs however they can will still be a necessity.
@@KuzonEmbers okay but what youre saying actually makes no sense. Think about it i understand you need to have the mega low end stuff that's fine but south africans arent cant or wont buy surfaces its not their target audience for 600usd customers but people who have 600usd and can afford a microsoft surface/want one should not have to deal with 120gb storage in a world where 240 makes more sense costs the same and has better speeds for the same price.
This was one of the best TechNews I've seen James host.
Just when I thought Microsoft couldn´t be more lazy and imcompetent than by releasing their Surface line with Tiger Lake just weeks before Alder lake came out, they come out and release yet another Tiger Lake product more than halfway in Alder Lake's lifespan...
Office exploit and the subtle The Office joke about the toll three blocks/unblocks have on a person 🤣
Ahh classic, I love how big tech companies only value security when it makes life hard for users.
I loved the Office's Michael Vasectomy reference here! 2:18
YAY! TECH NEWS!
"because it's been 2 years and it's time" lmaooooo
If you ever stop doing this show I WILL CRY REAL TEARS
The Office jokes are always appreciated on my plasma tv
I like quick tech news.. thank you
2:20 Loved the office reference.
I used to use Microsoft SMS Organizer. I tried RCS on Messages for a couple of week. I got so annoyed by the ads. Around 1/4 of the notifications were for some kind of ads with very little options to stop or disable them. It forced me to switch back to SMS organizer. Now I am retrying the RCS on Messages for past few days. No ads this time.
Bahahaha the ending knocked it out of the park!!
That the office reference🤣
Workaround through registry
1. go to start menu and type regedit should come up as "registry editor"
2. change the address bar to "Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ms-msdt" if its there it will find it
3. now right click the ms-msdt folder and click export and save it as like mentioned in the video "msdt_regkey_backup"
4. once you done the export you can just delete the ms-msdt folder
5. if you want to add it back later you can just open up the msdt_regkey_backup.reg file no need for command prompt it will ask you if your certain you want to add the information just press "yes"
step 1-2 can be also used to confirm it has indeed been deleted as the path can no longer be found
What makes Google think adding ads to RSC will get more people to use it?
You guys remember that TechLinked episode where James told hackers to extort people for money to donate to the poor?
It looks like techlinked office is binging the office😂
that last part was gold.
Amazing intro as always haha good stuff
"Dead meet"😂😂😂
Lol I love how they always do that opening thing about the need for tech news Lol!! I love this channel
these tech-link people, just get crazier every day!!
"There is a certain vibe I curate people, you wouldn't get it!" I love it
Hello everyone :)
you beat me >:(
Great office reference @2:17
3:35 absolute gold, lol
Like the distortion effects in the first few seconds
I think James is going to snap soon BUT we all get to really enjoy watching his slow descent into madness
As an invitee to Riley's parties I can confirm that there is indeed quite the curated mood.
"could be a virus Fatale"
I am deceased 😂
Nice double fist blur 😂
Laser James is so quick not even Ming-chi Kuo of the Bene Gesserit can track him...he must be the KWISATZ HADERACH!!!!!
The Hemingway line was gold
those were some hot dance moves with the shoes
I don't usually laugh at these vids but the way he said "dead meet" got me
Been using office alot lately because of school, its baffling how bad it is sometimes, even on microsofts own devices like my surface
I use Truecaller to block spams and ads because the ads were getting out of hand. Plus point of that it also blocks spam calls.
Literally stand-up comedy for tech nerds I love it
Intro ... nice Control reference 👌
Best openings ever!!!
I enjoyed the reference to The Office @2:17
4:53 y'all are wrong for that one 😂😂
That last one sounds like if jigsaw worked in cyber security
Dead meet killed me!
Dead meet cracked me up so bad hahaha
I dont really see social media sites like a private backyard party, but more like a public forum which it essentially replaced.
And yet, it is their property, not public property. So they have every single right to police content however they want.
@@Diviance Of course, but there should be some limits to that because you are essentially shifting a huge portion of conversation off the street and basically into a virtual publicly available place. People writing the first amendment in the US could not have known that this large portion of conversation would move online where private companies would be able to control the narrative and censor anyone who says something they dont like, or politically support someone they dont like. Basically if you nowadays control the Media and the Tv, you control the masses, esp. when you also control the education which is in constant decline. Social media and Tv media pretty much turned into a political tool, and the only people who dont have an issue with that are those who dont value democracy or because it suits them this way to censor the opposition.
Similar even applies to second amendment, where they obviously couldnt predict social decay, falling morals, failing family structure and a massive surge in mental health issues. Again if they knew this would be such a huge issue, they would never write it the way it is because it would mean these mentally ill people would have virtually no barrier owning a firearm and committing these attrocities we have witness here regularly. That is also a reason why officials dont focus on these issues, in fact they dont even acknowledge them at all, rather they use it as benefit for their political goals and actively try to disarm the whole population, not just the problematic individuals.
I’m so impressed with the intros
I have always been critical of EEG technology as its capabilities are always overstated. However, it COULD in fact be used to give you Force powers in a game. But is it really worth the extra investment for Force powers?
Depends on how much it costs.
It is my understanding that the EEG units will only add a one button control i.e. activity detected or no activity detected. The specific in game uses stated in the article i read in 2019 were force power activation or activating flight as say iron-man or Superman.
@@kaldo_kaldo depends on how good as well
If it lets me use the force? Sure, it would be a terrible financial decision, but I would go into debt in a heartbeat
YES always YES
the jokes are on point!
its 1 am and i have 2 tests tomorrow, i mean later today
LOL the censored "activities"
Out in the west Texas town of El Paso....
I can't remember if surface laptop go 2 was launched.
When the notification works!
It's crazy how that bill has faced a chain of blocks
That RCS ad-spamming thing already backfired on them as a lot of people were sick of them.
I love me some fresh tech news
Bro the jokes on this episode is 10/10. 🤣
That double hands censor really took by surprise. ;)
5:06 - Cue Han Solo in The Force Awakens saying "That's not how the Force works!"
(although that is how the force works.)
The office vulnerability exploits a Windows vulnerability by which attackers can execute code remotely in your machine. It affects every version of Windows (since windows 10 is just a patched version of windows 7). Microsoft said they won't fix it.
Switch to BSD or Linux for the love of Riley 😅
You can exploit it outside of Office as well.
The dude just makes the technews.
Amazing! Now Facebook can scan your brain to see if you're actually looking at the vr ads!
The tech news bruhhhh!!!
funny thing about their wireless chargers at Ikea. They do work
Tech News!
The problem with the office vulnerability, is that its not an office vulnerability. Its a vulnerability on the windows remote assistance diagnostic tool, thing.
It breaks and allows elevated remote access to the system, if you send it a particular request to it. Which means its not only through office that it can be triggered, but it so happens to be the easiest way to do it.
Last thing I heard you can also make malicious shortcuts for it to work.
it's not just office. a simple short cut can accomplish the same thing as long as the url header is ms-msdt
it's been long James since we got to see you
Office puns
Aluminium, yes, thank you.
4:36 Ha caught the mouse cursor and webpage scroll
2:34 Lolllll
Accurate.
Guess we need a open source alternative to office
Why not just make the leap and dump the entire Windows ecosystem..?
Libreoffice, Openoffice, etc....
@@Why72833 Wow 2. We need more
@@Why72833 We just need one that's actually good
You could take a look at Onlyoffice or Libreoffice
Jail bit made me dispense water from my mouth
RILEY that was funny! “Virus Fatale”
"Aluminium". Ahh... I love that pronunciation. 😌
Well done for saying aluminium correctly!
_The gadgets are here; I need tech news, not a ride_
still those laptop lip back side passive large cooler heat sinks, water cool pipe from the bottom section
Libre Office and Only Office are free and full fledged alternatives to MS Office
I have a good idea, you guys should make a channel like techlinked but for news about movies and shows 🙃
Wow.... Office isn't safe??? That's new...
Just realized this show is great high, also good regularly but great high, highly recommended 😄
Virus Fatale! lmaooooooooooo nice one
