Oh geez, I have them, probably from the 00's. I tried to get into Windows programming, but it was all over my head. Incredible that a few decades after thinking "All the world's knowledge will be online", we probably hav

Man, the missing quote marks around the word "revolting" made me think Sky was being disgustingly editorial with their titles. Reminds me of Deus Ex, where the newsreader reports the news with a slant: https://www.youtu

TSA is security theater, but I think checks are still necessary. Otherwise people can bring C4 onto planes, blow themselves (and the plane) up in the air, and freak a lot of "Western civilization" out. The liquids ban really is bu

They probably had to go to 11 (unlike Spinal Tap, Microsoft's 11 isn't awesome) because they added the TPM requirement. If a computer was Windows 10 compatible but not Windows 10 version 24Hblahblah, it would confuse the average u

It feels like making a UI with skins is a lot easier. Just draw the bitmap onto the window, and set some areas to be clickable (and change the bitmap of that area to "button is being pushed" when the user is holding the mouse down

There's several layers of humor in TC videos, the cringe joke, the acknowledgement that "I'm making a cringe joke", the acknowledgement that the joke is still lame with the meta-joke, the "well I put it in the video

First rule of Fight Chat: you do not talk about Fight Chat. The idea of Fight Club but it's a bunch of corporate zombies arguing in a chat room amuses me. Wait a minute...

This makes me wonder if being told I was a smart kid (instead of "Good job kid!") wasn't such a bad thing after all. (Educators say tell kids "Good job!" instead of "You're so smart!", because the kid

Yeah... and the basis of how to Make America Great Again: make the poor's lives miserable and they'll be forced to work hard. They'll be successful, problem solved! If they stay poor, that must mean they're still lazy, l

Too many people buy the American dream of "If you just work hard enough, you'll be successful.". If you believe this, then you'd have to believe the opposite: "If you're poor and unsucessful, that means you did

The ultimate hack would be to intercept the data stream after the decryption, but before the decoding, so you get still-compressed H264 or whatever... I suppose it's possible that they use a codec where the decryption also means decomp
