Yea let me pay more for the base price than for everything combined to get a very shitty connection…

Makes sense if you’re a Muskrat, not so much if you’ve got one of those weird sponges in your skull

Wait until everybody starts doing this sweet summer child

I’m in eastern europe and the last time Russia did anything around here was when my grandparents were starving

I literally never said everyone should source all their work. You’re reading between the lines. What I said is that SOME science channels sneak in misinformation and shilling in their videos which are otherwise educational and most of the time very accurate.

That + entertainment over information quality. I’m not here to convince anybody, my goal was to make y’all think twice about just blindly trusting theor videos. They’re the Linus Tech Tips of the science channel world.

Yea, nah, it absolutely is. They often sneak in bad information and poorly interpreted data to fearmonger (see their nuclear power “educational” videos where they instill fear) and other such things. They’re just like some other science channels. Like veritasium, which shilled out for Waymo. Just because the animations are very very nice doesn’t mean you shouldn’t confirm the information they present, and quite often it’s wrong on purpose to butter up the right people. If you don’t believe me, that’s okay. They’re not dangerous like pseudoscience channels. Most things they present are good. I just hate that they mix in BS.

Yea the channel is known for being biased and just weird in general

I think hosting it externally is a bit of a liability though, because those pages could be removed, then wikipedia looks bad for pointing at fake external articles and get blamed for it.

That’s a damn good one

They haven’t so far. If they ever do I’ll let you know so you can be really happy about my failure

No need, the entirety of a building from a Uni I went to runs on XP with the last security patches and browsers that are built for xp compatibility like Supermium with security extensions. They never got hacked. No issues at all and the students can connect to the internet all they want, they aren’t even monitored besides checking they still work once in a while. This is because despite lack of funding for new PC’s, the security department is competent and actually knows how to work around that, as opposed to just saying what you are all saying here. There are Win7 machines there too, which can be remotely accessed via internet. There’s a magical thing called a firewall. Did you know routers also have a firewall? Crazy right? Did you also know that almost all PC’s are connected to routers, not directly to the internet? Crazy too, right? That’s like basic level security knowledge. If you’re so terrified you will be hacked that you’re willing to put up with Microsoft’s shit, i feel bad for you all.

I’m quite slow in the head but damn nI have no idea how all that happened

That’s great. I have ublock origin and paid virustotal at my side. I’m not safe, but I wouldn’t be any safer with a windows update.

I’m celebrating too as a user. No more shit updates that disturb me.

The one downvote is a british politician

Yea the rich editor probably broke on an update or something. I’ve dealt with that before. Those rich text editors like ckeditor are amazing, until they break one day or a plugin becomes unsupported and you either fix it, or it messes up loads of your content… Caching saved us more than once with that sort of thing. We just used the cached pages and lelft the original completely broken, it just couldn’t be edited anymore but it showed up fine.

… Why are you being downvoted for pointing it out wtf…

I must have spent days playing Smash Hit

We already never really gave a shit at the companies I worked at so far. Bosses love spewing shit about AI, telling us to use it and find out more about it, especially coding AIs, but we often try them out for a bit with serious tasks then revert back to only ever using them for formatting or research assistance. My colleagues tried and failed several times to use them for tasks involving non-trivial logic and it never worked, even with paid Cursor or Gemini.

Not contestintn that, but that wasn’t drama stirred up by Louis.
