@Not Convinced If you want my opinion, it all stems from the ideal that information should be free to all, which is sort of a core ethic (which I agree with). That extrapolates into a lot of other things that happen to fall more into the left's political spectrum. As to why there are no right wing hacktavists... well, I am not a hacker, but I work in the software development industry and I can say I don't talk much about my conservative opinions with peers because they are not viewed as acceptable, and generally in the minority. Why that is... Well there are a ton of socio-political reasons, but to be very brief, the culture of universities over the last 25 years or so, the demographics of people who spend a lot of time online, and the type of people that others in this line of work grew up admiring or who were very successful.
@@doc_sav I think it is because the right's political actions and policy goals, when they have them, are built on lies that take seconds for smart people to see through.
Great to see Altium showcasing people who have made such a positive impact on multiple communities! A much better use of my yearly service contract money than other stuff they do (fancy booths at embedded world etc).
I love this and resonate with it immensely; a misfit, delinquent, who left school while I was still 14, skateboarded, broke into empty industrial buildings to skate & explore, mucked around with low level hacking. I never had the brains of someone like KingPin, though I had the exact same approach to all things in life and work and I know what he means when he says you can't teach the hacker mindset - I developed it as part of the environment I was exposed to. It's inspiring to see this; as I'm in my mid-life now and want to bring back that core, that youthful curiosity and sense of adventure, that family, kids, a mortgage has slowly eroded.
I read Joe's book in 2004 or so and he has been a hero of mine ever since. I don't know if he is still teaching courses, but I'd drive out to wherever he is doing that if he is! Edit: He does still have courses at various events on his website. They look awesome.
Have we gone too far too fast with something that was originally designed with the altruistic motives of sharing knowledge and communicating? I'm glad Joe is invested in having a positive impact on the world. He seems like a valuable asset.
Man! You have the life I dreamed about being a kid. Skateboard, rock band and hacking. I was into skateboarding, played in punk rock band and found hackers so cool but I didn’t have your brain capacities, being lazy also maybe. I just was the one finding warez games and crack for my friends so I could bring new games for everyone to enjoy. I wished to be surrounded by friends being hackers so I could learn from them but I was on my own. Anyhow, not trying to find excuses for not being an hacker. I just want to say it seems you had a great life so far, you must have had a lot of fun. Congratulations for being one a kind.
i literally sat down the past few hours and watched a few of your videos you are an inspirational character, and an example of why curiosity made the man a legend!
No matter if you see this message or not, some will see, some will read, everyone will agree: "You never lost this smile in your face. No matter which video I saw from you, no matter if you were sitting Nerd-Style in front of your Attari or now in this video or the one, you helped the person get back his Theta coins, you have this pure smile in your face." I admire what you do for the people, because I know you do it, to keep that little boy within you alive. That is what many people forgetting in life, to keep alive the kid within us. Thanks for being you, Joe. Much love from Mexico. Alexandros
Hey Hacker, I hope you'll have a brainstorm when seeing people here like me who have never clicked on an ad in their lives before and are here sharing this content with their friends. As an electronics engineer too, I can say you could put real knowledge in that media and your motivational thoughts is a common powerful thing we all have looking for. Congrats for your brilliant carreer. Thanks and regards from Brasil!
Even his song is catchy 👌🏽🔥. ….Joe Grand aka King Pin . He has an inviting and engaging personality. He definitely found one of his callings now! I’m looking forward to watch what’s next on his channel.
Wtf, this guy is one of the hackers that had a hearing in court in 1998 I was wondering what happened to all of em, at least we know kingpins doing good
2021 Just a reminder, the ad is still working and I'm surprised to see lot of people in comment section who came to this video through the ad just like me.
why does this look so fun to me?? i can resonate with basically everything he just said. Im bummed that i viewed college as a scam for so long that im now 32 n just getting into hacking... when i wanted to get into it when i was 16... i guess better late then never look at the KFC guy.
College is a scam! If you're determined enough you can learn everything for free, with proper researching skills almost anything, especially technological stuff can be self taught.
@@ewreck944 Whether you goto school or not, you get your certs from CompTIA or other companies online. Schools have NEVER given you official certs, they give you THEIR school "certificate" for completing THEIR program. Going to school for certs is silly bc certs only cost like 150-400 each and you pay for them indirectly and you only really need a few of them. They even sell a course for the certifications and a study guide. Not only that certs expire every 2-years, so they some will expire before you even finish your degree. If you really wanted to you can get 4 certs in a month. The same 4 certs you will get in your second year of college, after taking a bunch of other unnecessary classes. Certs expire cause information always changes, in 20 years time you would've renewed your stuff dozens of times and whatever degree you received would be obsolete along with any old/outdated information, which is why college is a scam for something like computers. Why would you take a college course and get a college degree for something that still requires for you to buy a course and pay for a test online at home. The degree is a depreciating asset and hold no value unless it's paired with your certifications and you will be in debt. Just get the certs.
You know you have an amazing video when most of the top comments are from people who decided to ditch the video they were watching to view your video because of its ad
My grandma's neighbor got robbed by one of those hacked Garage door openers. They stole the car lawnmower everything in the garage. It was the first time I even heard the word hack in this way.
With great power comes great responsibility. Hacks like this reveals the weak points of a device which then help towards making a newer more secure product. It’s unfortunate that there will always be people out there looking for ways to use things for evil purposes.
I was searching for Kingpin (Graphics card overclock) guy and found him. I'm a big fan of Jim Browning but didn't know that Kingpin is also a great mind.
Got suspended from school once for hacking into the system because I was bored. Told the substitute teacher I would and did not try to hide it. Was a time before much internet. Teacher was an engineer. He wrote the security. One guy does not think of all the simple back doors. I was exploring and learning. Never tried to damage anything. We did get an advanced computers course the next year. I did once put a companies system into a processing loop that took over a day. I made a report to prove I was making the company more money than any other tech. Did not notice how slow that system was until it was to late. They thought it was someone else. I made the report for everyone to help hide who it was. I never used the report. I went on my own a few weeks later. I did have proof I was the most profitable tech the company had. I didn't want to work for liars, so why even bring it up. This may be the first time I have told this. 12 years later??
Seems we all came here through an ad and while we're here can I ask what course is that he is giving a lecture? Cause, yeah, now I want to go hardware, at 25 and from a software background.
Such a beautiful story ❤ it I came across this video by accident but he was born from a young age to think outside the box some of us get caught up watching TV others take old computers apart and whatever has a chip in it is another way to create things THAT CAN CHANGE THE WORLD can the answers lie in all gaming machines from Atari to Sega im pretty sure one day we will be replaced by machines and all we can do is believe in ourselves that we were born for greatness ❤❤❤
The ad worked and i love it. First time i actually clicked an ad.
Same
Me too 😅😅
same
Same
Trigger point was when the judge said ....'you can take down the internet...'
The advertisement on RUclips has summoned me over this magic channel.
We're glad you like our channel! Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss out on new videos!
Exactly. The advertisement worked
@@AltiumStories i saw your ad 6 7 months ago i clicked screen shot and after that i reset my phone i am here after a loooooong time ,again 😁
@@AltiumStories the video is great. Thanks. can u tell me which song is playing in the end?
the song starts at 11:28
yeah the ad worked
Yeah 😂
Dude it took me to chrome
I was like hold on mate easy right there
Indeed
Yup
yessir
The only RUclips Ad that most pople liked
Watching this after seeing his $2m recovery vid. Is so crazy. He really took it by the balls and went with it man! Truly inspiring
What happened
@That Person That's very nice of Joe. Meanwhile i found the video. Thank you nevertheless
@That Person Can’t buy much with crypto/bitcoin anyway.
@@boundariessetinstone5893 you can sell the coin on exchanges and get your respective country’s currency
This is, my first ad click in my youtube life
Oh yeah..I came here by clicking on that ad😂😂
This is my first time clicking the ad and I did not regret clicking it.
Looks like Joe's found his calling, as a crypto hardware saviour.
people dont realize how big of a deal this is :D
Came here to find people that looked into him after the Trezor wallet hack 🤣
...and I'm sure it pays very well!! Go Joe! Actually, I thought the NSA would bribe him, but nope, a real American
@@jasonvessies8795 yeap the algorithm works ok
@@jasonvessies8795 yeah, I also come here after that Trezor wallet :D
Finally an ad worth clicked! 😁👍🏻
This ad was more interesting than the video I clicked on. Good job!
Same 😂😅
true
These guys and L0pht were a huge influence on me when I was a kid. It's really nice to see success coming from something our parents disliked so much.

@@doc_sav are they smart people
Joe is one of the best humans I have ever met. Thank you for sharing your story.
This is what my parents think of me when I restart the router to fix the wifi and turn Airplane on and off to fix mobile data.
My job feels so empty now. I feel like I should be doing more with my life, careerwise. Great film!
what is your job ? (just curious)
Go do something better then?
no one is stoping you but yourself
oh really? mopping the floor at jombajuice isnt fulfilling exilerating work?
Kingpin should start a series, I'll definitely watch it
Imagine a movie about your most dramatic hack, where everyone is played by mark whalberg
Great to see Altium showcasing people who have made such a positive impact on multiple communities! A much better use of my yearly service contract money than other stuff they do (fancy booths at embedded world etc).

Follow your dreams my friend you've only got one shot!👍
You got to just go, make your plan, kiss your loved ones and say, I’ll be back, but not in and Arnold voice.
Great comment man , kudos’

Finally a useful ad. Thanks upcoming freshman this schoolyear.
The only ad I’ve actually been intrigued about. Clicked it and I’m here. Not disappointed
I couldn't click on the ad so I searched "hacker hacks parking machine" to get here. Worth it!
instantly subscribed. have been waiting for a lifetime for someone to share Kingpin's life history
i literally sat down the past few hours and watched a few of your videos you are an inspirational character, and an example of why curiosity made the man a legend!
I love this guy's drive to truly dedicate his hard work & knowledge towards something meaningful. A genuine Sensai, in the hacking realm.

Mrs Kimberly is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy
I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Mrs Kimberly
I think she is the best broker I ever seen
I stumbled upon one of her clients testimonies and decided to try her out...I'm Expecting my third cashout in 2days
No exact amount but a profit range from $1200 to $5000 depending on the coin fluctuation in market
Please how do I get in touch with this famous Mrs Kimberly??
@Logan Madison lmfao what the hell happened here
I never thought an ad will take my interest this much.
The ad brought me here... Its the first time an ad made me click.. And sub. Great content.
9:20 "Modern Technology has really kind of turned me off to technology as a whole."
Damn... I felt that one.
Even his song is catchy 👌🏽🔥. ….Joe Grand aka King Pin . He has an inviting and engaging personality. He definitely found one of his callings now! I’m looking forward to watch what’s next on his channel.
Great video about a great man, both technically and personally.
I never thought that i would click a RUclips ad.
Wtf, this guy is one of the hackers that had a hearing in court in 1998
I was wondering what happened to all of em, at least we know kingpins doing good
and I watched past a minute and saw that his hearing was in the vid. lmao.
You can just look it up lol internet has everything. They were called l0pht.
I saw this ad and I was not able to click it and I am searching this for almost an hour it catches me up.
The ad worked even after a year! 👍🙌
Altium yall should give a raise to whoever made this ad
2021 Just a reminder, the ad is still working and I'm surprised to see lot of people in comment section who came to this video through the ad just like me.
Saw the ad and had to stop what I wanted to see and just had to see this😂😂😂🔥
Okay so I watched the ad and forgot about it. Then I went and searched for it two days later. Awesome content.
Nice!!!! Always wanted to know Joe’s history he is amazing!! He is a good hacker we need him
Agreed. We need more people like Joe putting their gifts and talents to good use!
This is the first time that an ad has worked
This man can tell stories to his grandchildren man :)

entertained with the ad that I didn't see it when it was over and I hadn't even seen where it was from, lucky me that it appeared again
