- Daunk 2y agoThanks for the tip! I hope this works, as YouTube banned all my private christmas videos from the 80s.
- teractiveodular 2y agoMust've been a pretty wild Christmas party.
- Daunk 2y agoI wish! It's me as a child running around in a t-shirt, waiting for Santa. Apparently that's not allowed.
- TheChaplain 2y agoBy the standard at the time, probably lame. My parents had until couple of years ago photos and 8mm film from my early childhood where I staggering around in just shoes. I hated clothes even in winter. These days that would be classified as child pornography and likely land them in prison. They were upset about destroying innocent memories but.. well.. Times change, not always for the better.
- Turing_Machine 2y agoThanks for giving the OP some firsthand advice that answers his question and might actually work, rather than chiding him with some variant of "You shouldn't have trusted YouTube in first place ('you big dummy', implied)". That type of "advice" accomplishes nothing, other than maybe boosting the ego of the person making it.
- animanoir 2y agoprobs talking about me. My replies works as a warning to someone reading the post. The Google download is actually a nice tip tho.
- pvg 2y agoPeople don't make these posts to serve as cautionary tales for others, they're usually asking for help.
- lovethevoid 2y agoYou’re right, we need more tech support requests on HN.
- pvg 2y agoThey tend to get moderated away most of the time, which you can help by flagging them or emailing them to hn@ycombinator.com. Supercilious PSAs don't do any of that.
- muzani 2y agoIt's very common on HN. I do it too. Mostly because we spend a lot of effort avoiding these platforms, and when something bad happens to a person because of it, we can shout, "Ha! My paranoia is justified!" If you're working day to day as an engineer, you end up mostly thinking in unhappy cases and 99.99% uptime scenarios, so it actually seems like helpful advice.
- animanoir 2y agoExactly this. My actual comment emerges more from fear rather than ego.
- thaumasiotes 2y ago> That type of "advice" accomplishes nothing, other than maybe boosting the ego of the person making it. That depends on whether anyone other than OP ever reads the comment thread.
