digitalSoup - A Hilariously Geeky Podcast

Busy episode this week with Windows update news, security warnings on cell phones, Apple continues it’s string of black eyes and Insel tries to game the Steam system and loses! Plus Karate Kid is coming back while Kung Fury gets the feature treatment! All this and a few “secret” ingredients this week so give it a taste while it’s hot! The digitalSoup is on! ----more---- New “High Performance Mode” to be introduced in next Windows 10 Update In a move to help users of high end pc’s get every last drop of power out of their machine, Microsoft is adding the high performance mode that will throw energy efficiency out the window in favor of faster performance. Is this because they want people to get the most out of their machines or they are trying to do their part in fixing the Intel caused slowdowns from the patches for Spectre and Meltdown?   Don’t use Huawei (Wah-Way) or ZTE phones, say heads of FBI, CIA, and NSA The heads of six major US intelligence agencies have warned that American citizens shouldn’t use products and services made by Chinese tech giants Huawei and ZTE. According to a report from CNBC, the intelligence chiefs made the recommendation during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on Tuesday. The group included the heads of the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and the director of national intelligence.   More bugs for Apple With a new software bug involving the Indian language characters, apparently people can crash other users iPhones causing messenger apps like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Gmail, and more to become bricked.   Apple HomePod, the white ring machine Users of the Apple HomePod are understandably upset by the response from Apple about the white rings left on their wooden furniture from the HomePod. Did Apple really just tell users to wash their tables and if needed re-finish the surfaces of their furniture?!   Valve removes all Insel Games from Steam for manipulating reviews Valve said that developer Insel Games was caught manipulating the review score for its games by creating many fake Steam accounts and posting positive reviews. This practice is not uncommon, but it’s nonetheless against Steam’s terms, hence the ban. Leaked company emails show In an email the studio’s CEO lightly threatened employees that they may lose their jobs if they do not comply. The CEO did offer to reimburse them for the expense, amusingly.   Nintendo Switch Linux Follow Up In a move to prove they had indeed hacked a switch, the hacker group fail0verflow have released a new video showing a Switch running a full Linux graphical interface.   Cobra Kai The first teaser trailer has arrived for this standoff that has been 30 years in the making! Only problem is that this Karate Kid series will be a YouTube Red debut, so it may not be as easy to see for some.   Feature length Kung Fury gaining some big names to the cast First, how awesome is it that we are getting a feature length Kung Fury! Second, why not add Arnold Schwarzenegger and Michael Fassbender to the cast, not to mention the return of David Hasselhoff, let the epic-ness begin. Kung Fury: The Original Short Film David Hasselhoff “True Survivor” Kung Fury Music Video   Incredibles 2 gets a teaser trailer Looks like Mr. Incredible is playing Mr. Mom as Elastigirl plays the hero!   Weekly Garnish: Essential Reading Before Seeing Black Panther If you want to take your comic book geekery to the next level, check out these 5 Black Panther comic runs before seeing the new movie(or add them after if you couldn’t wait and have already seen the film!)   Subscribe on Apple Podcasts Listen on Google Play Music Listen on TuneIn Subscribe on Stitcher   Be sure to subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts and leave a review, lets us know what you think.  You can reach us at the digitalSoup podcast website, Facebook or on Twitter @thedigitalsoup.  We are also on Instagram so follow us for extra bonus material and show highlights!

This week the guys launch into space talk, audio formats, Nintendo hacks and movies!  Jason and Adam face off on a small scale during the geek off. Get ready for a steamy bowl! ----more---- Space X Falcon Heavy Launches Tesla Roadster into Space With a successful launch, many people are getting excited about the Space X program. Usually Dave, however, has a couple of interesting takes about the Spaceman cruising in his orbital Tesla Roadster. (MTV/Crime)   Best Buy Not Longer Selling Audio CDs With Target Not Far Behind There's not much reason to shop for CDs when you download or stream all your music, and big-box stores are reacting to that decline. Billboard sources have learned that Best Buy has told suppliers that it will remove music CDs from its stores as of July 1st.  Target, meanwhile, appears on the cusp of backing out. It reportedly wants to switch from paying for all music CDs and DVDs it receives (and shipping back whatever it doesn't sell) to only paying for those discs that actually sell.   Oh Snap! Secret iPhone Code Leaked! In what’s being called the “biggest leak in history”, proprietary code from Apple’s iBoot program, which is code that runs before iOS is started, was leaked to GitHub.  It went largely unnoticed for quite some time, so the code is from the older iOS 9 platform.  Apple also issued a takedown notice to GitHub according to theVerge.com.  As if that will stop the code from being spread.   Nintendo Hacked It appears that a hacker group going by the name of fail0verflow has found a vulnerability in the boot ROM of the Nvidia Tegra X1 chip that allowed them to install LINUX on a Nintendo Switch. Based on the info from the hackers, they claim it’s something that Nintendo can NOT fix via future firmware patches. The only fix is to build new Tegra X1 chips. If this process is shared it’ll mean game on for the game pirating sector which is bad news for Nintendo. Let’s how the Switch doesn’t find itself in Dreamcast land, killed by pirates.   GEEK OFF Be a dwarf from middle earth or a hobbit?   First Official TEASER Trailer for Venom We finally got a look at the upcoming Venom movie as the first official teaser trailer hits and while we see a quick glimpse of the symbiote in a lab, there’s still no footage of Venom. This trailer is all about Eddie Brock and sets up a glimpse of the origin of how he became Venom.   Top movie trailers dropped during the Super Bowl Here’s the movies that gained the most traction since their drop during the Super Bowl, the results may cause mild surprise.   James Hetfield to star in upcoming Ted Bundy film Who knew the frontman of Metallica was now an actor!   Firefly is coming back!!

The PowerWatch by Matrix uses your body heat as power, no charging needed. Episode 051-Organic Material Generates Elecricity Conversation   Basic cable bucking trendsLast week, two of the larger basic cable networks in SyFy and USA have decided to finally allow dropping F-Bombs in their shows.   Breaking Bad a Walking Dead Prequel Apparently this is a pretty big theory going around the internet and based on some recent articles, it’s a pretty convincing conspiracy theory!   Ant-Man and the Wasp The first official trailer was released and all we can say is it just looks FUN!   New Bill Mandates Replaceable Batteries in Consumer Electronics A right-to-repair bill that outright bans the sale of electronics not designed to be easily user-repairable. Jeff Morris, the representative who introduced the bill, notes that it was written before Apple’s battery fiasco came to light (in separate news, Apple is now facing an SEC and DOJ investigation into its disclosure practices around its battery issues).   GEEK OFF - Wake up to find you now live in the world of Skynet and Terminators or The Walking Dead?   Spotify Starts Testing A Separate Music Station App Spotify, the popular streaming music service that has over 70 million paying subscribers and 140 million active users, is now testing an app on Android called Stations as first noticed by app analytics service Sensor Tower.

It’s a wild week with great stories about AmazonGo getting shoplifted from, rapper 50 Cent’s happy bitcoin accident, a sweet new Sci-Fi movie from Robbie and Stephen Amell called Code-8 and of course the big Vanity Fair Photoshop fail that gave Reese Witherspoon a third leg and Oprah Winfrey a 3rd hand! Not to mention Drew Carey getting tackled on stage, the XFL says don’t call it a comeback and much more! There is so much laughter in the soup this week you may bust a gut! ----more---- AmazonGo Store DID suffer a case of shoplifting on it’s first day! In an interesting twist from our conversation last week, it seems that there was at least one inadvertent bit of thievery happening, some yogurt. Best part is Amazon didn’t care. Linus Tech Tips “Shoplifts” Tampons From AmazonGo 50 Cent Accidentally Made $8 Million in Bitcoin In 2014, rapper 50 Cent let people buy his album “Animal Ambition” using bitcoin. He then let his account lie unused for years, and only just recently discovered that he’s now a bitcoin millionaire.At the time, a single bitcoin was worth only $662 and he pulled in over $400,000. Since then, the value of bitcoin has soared: the price of the cryptocurrency is currently worth a little more than $11,000. After sitting untouched in his account for years, 50 Cent’s earnings are now worth $7 million to $8.5 million, based on the current fluctuating bitcoin valuation.   Code 8 - The IndieGoGo SCI-FI Movie! This movie is looking awesome.  It is a mutant, people with powers type movie starring cousins Robbie Amell (The Tomorrow People, The Flash, The X-Files) and Stephen Amell (Arrow’s Oliver Queen).  The movie is in post production and has been funded by 20,000 backers on IndieGoGo.  The film takes place in a world where 4% of the population are born with some type of supernatural ability. Instead of being billionaire superheroes, most ‘specials’ live in poverty and resort to crime, forcing the police to become more militarized.   Vanity Fair Photoshop Fail From extra legs and hands to missing appendages, this recent Vanity Fair cover seems to be a photoshop disaster!   XFL Returning in 2020! WWE founder and chairman Vince McMahon announced Thursday he is giving a professional football league another go.  It will be called the XFL, the same name of the league McMahon and NBC tried for one season in 2001, but it won't rely on flashy cheerleaders and antics as its predecessor did, he said. Let’s talk after if we actually want to do this.  Could be a little challenging/low-brow true true   Drew Carey tackled by contestant on Price is Right What can we say, she was super excited, he wasn’t ready for it and….well...watch for yourself!   GEEK OFF - What’s more likely, Dave plays Ark semi regularly or Jason puts up his mystery articles/videos?   Design your own NES games The future of the past is now or something like that! This fully funded Kickstarter is a system that allows you to easily code, design and produce your very own NES game that is then installed in an actual NES cartridge that is playable on the original tech.   Die With Me … the app you can only use at 5% battery life! If your battery has anything higher than a 5 percent charge, Die With Me won’t open up its doors; once you are in, if you charge up to higher than 5 percent, it will automatically kick you out of the room. It’s a place to bond, for a fleeting moment, with strangers sharing the same near-death phone experience, one with a built-in countdown timer on your conversations: what will you say in the moments before your screen goes black?   Speak, Fido! With the help of artificial intelligence, we may hear more than “bark” and “meow” from our fuzzy friends.   Pop Culture Cosmos   Weekly Garnish: (Adam have your bass ready!!!!)   8bitdo SN30 Pro The SN30 Pro is the world's first, fully featured retro controller. It boasts a full button set with clickable joysticks, rumble vibration², motion controls, wireless bluetooth, rechargeable battery, home and screen shot buttons, and a USB-C connector.

The soup mix this week includes Amazon’s new checkout-free stores, the Nintendo Labo cardboard kit extravaganza, Tomb’s are getting raided, and much more!  Settle in because the digitalSoup is on! ----more---- Dundee Trailer   Amazon Go : Full Steam Ahead Amazon opened the doors on its first unmanned store with great success which now drives fear looking ahead.   Apple to allow users to turn off Intentional Battery Slowdown Based on a report with The Verge, Apple CEO Tim Cook says that in an update coming in February they will be rolling out a feature that allows users to turn off the intentional battery slow down with their iPhones. The update will also give ultra transparent info about your device’s battery health, a move unprecedented in the mobile phone space.   Nintendo Labo In what can only be considered a strange move, Nintendo has announced plans for an interactive maker kit for the Switch. Being dubbed by TechCrunch as a next level LEGO kit that you DIY build robots, pianos, and even fishing rods that then interact with your Switch game system. Is $70 worth it for essentially a DIY cardboard kit? https://youtu.be/P3Bd3HUMkyU   10 Great alternatives to the Nintendo Labo   Microsoft Is Taking The Fight Right To Google With $189 Windows 10 S Laptops! With nobody to challenge Google in the low cost, walled garden systems they have been able to corner the educational and business market with their Chromebooks.  Lenovo has come to Microsoft's rescue with the Lenovo 100e laptop, a $189 Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 S laptop.     Vudu and Apple Communication Mixup Oops! VUDU releases Thor Ragnarok a month before it was supposed to!   YouTube’s new policies still failing When the S**T hit the fan with Logan Paul and other “celebrity” YouTubers, the company vowed to put new policies in place to help avoid these types of videos being shown on their platform. It seems those new policies don’t actually impact the big name YouTubers, rather they seem to eliminate monetization for more and more small creators. WWE RAW Celebrates 25 years! A big milestone for wrestling fans, WWE RAW is set to celebrate a 25th Anniversary! Are they thinking it’s time for a change? What are some of your favorite moments from RAW? Top 25 WWE RAW Moments   New Tomb Raider trailer out and it’s awesome! Could it be a successful reboot for a change?   TV Re-Boot and Spin-Off Land With the news of The Continental landing on Starz, it seems like there are quite a few shows set for the old small screen re-boot or spin-off treatment.   GEEK OFF - As a Vikings fan would you rather lose the close game against the Saints or lose in a blowout one game away from the Super Bowl against the Eagles?   Weekly Garnish: (Adam have your bass ready!!!!) PC Part Picker Are you an experienced system builder or maybe you are thinking of trying to build a PC for the first time?  Well PC Part Picker can help you make the right decisions.  Will the wide variety of CPU sockets and chipsets you need to make sure what you are ordering will even work together and this website helps you out.  There are preconfigured builds you can order or you can try your hand at picking parts yourself.  Choose a CPU and when you click on Motherboards only ones compatible with that CPU will be displayed.  Click on the component for full specs on it along with reviews on that specific part.  A great site for any level of system builder!

Listen to the Vikings Radio Network Announcer Paul Allen call the Miracle in Minneapolis while watching the amazing play unfold! (Show art photo credit : © 2016 Dave Szweduik at davidszweduik.com )   Apple Health App Data Used in Rape Case The data was used in a rape investigation in Germany to help place the suspect at the scene and prove consistency with alleged activity, including dragging the victim down a river bank and then climbing back up which registered as flights of stairs being climbed.   John Wick TV Series Is Officially Happening on Starz The Continental promises to include the thunderous fight sequences and intensely staged shootouts between professional assassins and their targets that fans have come to expect in the John Wick movie franchise as well as introducing some new, darkly compelling characters who inhabit this underground world.   Deadpool 2 Release DateIn an effort to avoid a clash in the box office with the next Star Wars movie, Deadpool 2 gets pushed ahead to a May 18th release date instead of it’s originally planned June 1st, 2018 release. Good news for Deadpool, bad news for the New Mutants and Gambit movies as they are both pushed back dramatically, with many wondering if they’ll actually ever happen.   First look at Tom Hardy as VenomTom Hardy is set to play the title role in the upcoming Venom movie and the first image has leaked out of Tom on set as Eddie Brock.

A ton of tech news this week as there are new security threats to nearly every device, Intel teaming up with AMD, Roku is set to take on wireless home audio and that’s just the beginning! Trouble at IGN and Spotify, is Apple looking to buy Netflix and some great X-Files and TV talk before we finish with a souper fascinating and terrifying new book about Anesthesia. We hope you brought your appetites because it’s a big helping of Soup this week! ----more---- Massive Intel Based Security Issue to Cause PC and Mac Slow-Downs While details of exactly what the security issues are have yet to be released, since they are working on shipping the huge update to fix the issue and don’t want to increase the security risk, it appears that a major security issue will be fixed with an upgrade soon. Bad news is that it’s set to cause a decrease in performance by up to 30% and will impact both PC’s and Mac’s. What you need to do based on a great article over on the Mashable website.   Intel Teams Up With AMD to Build Radeon Graphics on Core Chips Intel has announced the new GPU “brings together our high-performing Intel Core H-series processor, second generation High Bandwidth Memory (HBM2) and a custom-to-Intel third-party discrete graphics chip from AMD’s Radeon Technologies Group – all in a single processor package.” - https://www.engadget.com/2018/01/07/intel-amd-rx-vega-m/   Roku Set to Rock You In a move to expand it’s base, Roku looks poised to enter the audio game with a new line-up being dubbed as Roku Connect. While it’s not a full fledged automated home assistant looking to take on Alexa, it will focus entirely on entertainment and allow you to control and immerse your home in a terrific audio upgrade!   IGN Editor-in-Chief Fired for ‘Alleged Misconduct’ “IGN initiated an investigation into alleged misconduct involving Steve Butts. As a result of the investigation, the Company has appropriately determined to part ways with Mr. Butts,” Mitch Galbraith, IGN’s executive vice president, told Polygon in a statement.   Spotify's $1.6 Billion Copyright Lawsuit Could Be a Major Milestone in the Music Industry The lawsuit "alleges that Spotify is using Petty's "Free Fallin," the Doors' "Light My Fire," and tens of thousands of other songs without a license and compensation. The plaintiff is seeking a damages award worth at least $1.6 billion plus injunctive relief," according to Billboard.   Is Apple buying Netflix? Citi analysts say that there is a 40% likelihood of Apple acquiring Netflix. Apple will be able to repatriate about $220 billion in cash to the US under the Trump tax cut. The company would need only one-third of that to snap up Netflix.   X-Files Returned Last Wednesday for it’s 11th Season! The truth is still out there and so are Fox Mulder and Dana Scully as they tackle a ten episode season 11.  But it sounds like it could be the last season for Gillian Anderson.  Chris Carter had this to say though “For me, The X-Files is Mulder and Scully,” Carter told Collider in an interview. “I think if it were without Scully, I wouldn’t do it. That’s not my X-Files.”  Want to know which ones to skip? http://skippable.tumblr.com/post/93538543582/the-x-files Robin Hood RebootIn case you hadn’t heard, there is a new remake of the classic Robin Hood story happening right now and it looks to have the potential to be amazing and terrible. It’s reported to be a gritty take in which it feels like Robin Hood meets The Hunger Games, at least in terms of visual style, but it’s got a little star power with the likes of Jamie Foxx and Taron Egerton starring and even producer credit going Leonardo DiCaprio. Time will tell. Weekly Garnish What happens to us while under Anesthesia? A fascinating yet terrifying sounding book about what really happens to us as humans when we go under Anesthesia.

So Cryptojacking is a thing now, and while it’s a dirty move it isn’t dirty in THAT way. AT&T is testing some new high speed internet options while Google and Amazon start to work through their issues. Of course we had to talk about Disney purchasing most of Fox and the somewhat unsurprising news that the Ataribox has been delayed. Then, we end with some fun discussion about The Rock’s possible Presidential run in 2020 and a great trailer for a movie called Annihilation! ----more---- Weekly Riddle:   I am taken from a mine, and shut up in a wooden case, from which I am never released, and yet I am used by almost everybody.

Possibly a huge step forward for high speed internet in rural areas. Google and Apple Streaming Devices Are Coming Back to Amazon Amazon made the bold decision in 2015 to stop selling some of the most popular streaming devices on the market. Coincidentally, those were the streaming devices made by Apple and Google, which compete with Amazon’s own Fire lineup. This irked many consumers, but Apple and Google both have their own storefronts to sell hardware. Amazon now says it’s bringing back the previously banned devices, but it’s reluctant to explain why.   Google experimenting with photo/video apps From selfie boosting to making comics from your videos, these apps look pretty interesting...kind of…   Ataribox delays pre-orders due to development problems Preorders for the Ataribox were scheduled to start today, December 14th, but it appears that plan has hit a snag. Atari sent out an email today that said it's taking longer than expected "to create the platform and ecosystem the Atari community deserves."  The console will be priced in the $250 to $300 range, though Atari has teased that early supporters may receive a discount.   Disney gets Fox...at least most of it It’s official, the deal for Disney to buy Fox is official. Rumored for weeks the announcement became official on last thursday. But what might this mean for the future of our favorite heroes in the movies?!   By the way, The Simpson’s Predicted the Disney/Fox deal. Adding to their growing list of accurate predictions, The Simpson’s has successfully predicted yet another major event, this time one that involves them directly.     The Rock for President in 2020? Whether it’s a publicity stunt, The Rock just having fun or potentially a serious thought, The Rock has said he’s “Seriously Considering It” when asked about the possibility of him running for President. Can you imagine “The People's Champion” as “The People’s President” as his milliions…. AND MILLIONS of fans turn out in support.   Star Wars The Last Jedi - Mixed reviews so far.  Dave and Adam have seen it…. Shall we do a Star Wars episode in the future?   Weekly GarnishAnnihilation Starring Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, and  Tessa Thompson this film looks to be part horror, part fantasy, part mystery but it adds up to a very interesting looking movie.

In an episode filled with innuendo and hilarity, the guys have fun discussing a new organic material that generates its own electricity, Nintendo continues to win the current gaming system wars with a console that is JUUUUST good enough and then they come up with an amiibo based cereal that you can both eat and use to unlock bonuses in game.

They’ve deemed the 2011 Mac Mini to be “Obsolete”. Though the Mac Mini is still listed on the product road map for the future, things aren’t looking good for those Mac Mini fans.   New organic material that generates electricity So those silly scientists are at it again, this time it’s Swiss Scientists from EMPA, that have created a new organic material that generates it’s own electricity when stretched and compressed. This is fueling speculation on it’s possible medical uses but also concern over if we are seeing a natural transition for humans becoming cyborgs.   The Switch, good enough equals winning With subpar graphics and lesser tech than it’s biggest rivals from Sony and Microsoft, is the Nintendo Switch winning by being just good enough? #PowerFur   Nintendo ups the lootbox game with real world upgradesSo in a truly “Are you for real?” move, Nintendo is announcing a new cereal that looks an awful lot like Lucky Charms. It’s called simply “Super Mario Cereal” and hits shelves Dec. 11th. But what’s crazy is that the box the cereal comes in is NFC enabled and if Switch/Super Mario Odessey players tap the cereal box on their console it will unlock some minor loot in game, like extra coins or hearts.   Marvel Studio’s  Avengers : Infinity War Official Trailer Drops...Jaws Around the World. Let’s be honest, this looks incredibly insane. So good but could be almost too much to take in with ALL of those heroes on screen. But three things stand out in this trailer. #1) Chris Pratt’s `Stache is killing it at the end of the trailer, #2) Cap’s beard is being talked about a crazy amount all over the internet so it seems it should be called Avengers: Facial Hair War instead. #3) Adam makes a good point, #whereisHawkeye?
