Back on January 15th YouTube finally killed off the annotations feature completely on all videos. This came about a year and a half after YouTube ended the ability to create and edit annotations in any form, rendering those existing on videos as “stuck” so to speak, and not allowing any newly uploaded videos to take […]
After well over an hour of being down effectively globally, YouTube is back up and running as… er, well… as ever. While I’ve not yet seen any info on what the cause of the issue was, it does look like it was resolved, so we can all go back to watching whatever absurd junk we […]
It’s not every day that one of the top visited websites in the world seems to go down for most everyone, but when it does, it’s kind of incredible. In this case, as I type these words it’s 8:30 in the evening central time and YouTube has decided to go down. Well, not completely, you […]
Yesterday news broke of a flaw in the Google Plus API which from 2015 till recently in 2018 had the potential to expose otherwise private user data, something which would be bad enough on its own if it wasn’t for the fact that when Google became aware of this problem, but Google also apparently felt […]
I know I’m well over a week late for this one, but this is one of those things that was just too hilarious to pass up – the single worst custom computer build video that I think most people have ever watched! At least, as far as serious videos go, anyway. The video, published on […]
Well, at least they tried… No, I don’t know offhand what this is about – it looks to be someone promoting Macintosh systems (against Windows 95 based PC’s) but beyond that, I don’t have a clue right now. I’ll look into it more in the future. Also, this may become a regular thing – […]
Here we have the finale of Jim Browning’s “Bank Login Scam” video series. In part one he showed from his end one of these scams in action and was successfully able to bait the scammer into installing a remote access tool into their computer giving Jim access to the scammer’s machine. In part two, Jim […]
Now we get to the meat of Jim Browning’s Bank Login Scam video series. In this part, we get to see behind the scenes what is actually going on with the scammers computers, and how this all works. If you haven’t seen and read about Part One, check it out here! In part one, Jim, […]
It’s time for another set of scammer videos from none other than our good friend Jim Browning. Today we have the first in a trio of videos he produced this past summer on scammers going through very.. obtuse, shall we say, methods, to get into a victims bank account, and how he got into their […]
In an article I wrote back in April, titled “I’m Quite Certain YouTube Is Re-Subbing Me To Channels I’ve Unsubscribed To!” I discussed that YouTube was showing in my subscription feed channels which I was certain I’ve unsubscribed to. Well, it’s still happening. I’m not just sure it’s happening this time, I *know* it is […]
You don’t see much of arcades anymore. Over the past decade they have all but disappeared in all but the most touristy, high casual traffic areas of the United States. In the video shared below, YouTuber AdamTheWoo takes a look at the “Fun Factory” arcade at Redondo Beach Pier near Los Angeles, California. This looks […]
Something I’ve never once understood over the past decade or so of being online has been the absolute love that people have for Google — not just the “oh, they have neat services” aspect, but the fact that people will go out of their way to ignore their constant begging for user data (as the […]
Earlier today I was watching an older video on YouTube by “8-Bit Guy” regarding what you could do with a 1st generation Apple TV. The video was from 2014, so it’s of course dated, but still, it’s interesting to see what one can do with an old 1st generation Apple TV (I personally have a […]
So, we all know how YouTube has been, apparently, stealthily unsubscribing people from various channels over the past few years. This is a pretty well documented trend that is quite the annoyance for most users of the site, especially when compounded with how the site now no longer seems to wish to show people some, or […]
So, a few days ago I covered the drama on YouTube surrounding 2 British retrogamers, Villordsutch and Top Hat Gaming Man. The basic story goes like this – Top Hat Gaming Man used footage from Villordsutch without permission, and (intentionally or not) edited it to hide most traces of Villordsutch’s name from the video, not […]
