It was 2006 or 2007 when I sent a girl from my class a funny pdf.exe on ICQ, which simply restarted her computer when she started it. I didn’t know that she would lose a whole day’s work that way, but eh what are you gonna do if programs don’t have autosafe.
Same but unfortunately the YT algorithm doesn’t care about what we want and since we live in this digital capitalist hellscape nothing’s gonna change +__+
When I first started my career I was in tier 3 tech support and to troll a colleague we put an mp3 in the startup folder on Windows. Every time he booted the computer to troubleshoot he lost his s*** trying to figure out why the music was playing. The dude ended up formatting C:
I went to an internet café once. I opened regedit and went to Win98 colour settings. I swapped top and left border colours with bottom and right ones to make all windows and buttons look debossed. I left. That PC was “out of order” for two weeks afterwards.
That’s genius. I was always more of a screenshot-your-desktop-then-set-it-as-wallpaper-and-hide-taskbar-and-icons kinda guy but that one is so damn subtle it probably just leads to people thinking everything works normally except that it feels ever so slightly off, but they can’t put their finger on it. I like it a lot.
I just want mindless fun tech videos and don’t care so much about the accuracy of video cards I can’t afford.
My overall faith in any YouTube video being statistically accurate is low. I value the info in general but would never rely on one YouTubers video as a conclusive source and still do my own research if I’m going to buy.
That said if I had to do a trust level comparison of say Fox News vs LMG I would pick LMG any day. That’s a YouTuber vs national “news” network.
Honestly, I wouldn’t mind ltt turning into the “Top Gear of tech”, they’re kinda halfway there already, but they need to clean house. The accusations against them have gone from, “that’s pretty unprofessional” to “dear God what the fuck?”
I hope they conduct interviews through third party and kick out some of the perps. Madison gave us a glimpse into an unliveable environment and they need to re-evaluate everyone.
1978 for BBS vs either 1974 for the publication of TCP itself, or 1982/1983 for deployment of the same TCP/IP we use today, or 1976 for X.25, or 1977 for the first actual live interconnection of multiple packet switched networks.
I gotta say no. This is more like a collection of forums. There really is no following, no social aspect other than discussing the topic at hand. I am not promoting myself, I prefer annonymity over identifying myself. I do not think this counts as social media at all.
They all said they are pushing out videos far too quick, and Madison Reeves pointed to instances of working for free on weekends, being overworked, and problems with payment.
I’m not saying it’s definite, but it smells like there’s some truth to it.
I’m willing to work my ass off under pressure and make mad bank, I’m also willing to do a fair days work for an industry standard fair wage. I am not willing to work my ass off under pressure for an industry standard fair wage, or even a good industry wage. It had better be fucking bank.
I think a lot of them could go elsewhere, make more and do less, but I think some people just thrive in that kind of environment. I’m one of them, I hate when its slow at work. But also sometimes… every few months we catch a few dull weeks and NGL as much as I hate it, I need it.
