When You Google A Tech Problem
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 мар 2020
- Have you ever tried to search for a tech problem online and that spirals out and slowly turns into a Kafkaesque nightmare? Oh you have? Several times a year? Good to know. It happened to me when I had problems trying to get Kotor in Widescreen. That’s when I decided to make this video.

Or you're using Windows 10 which has two different Control Panels and 70% of it's useful features hidden between two to five pages deep.
that's actually surprisingly good advice for windows control panel stuff: instead of wherever stuff used to be before the last update, just look at the newest place you've never heard of.

_Options_ : The only option available is the *parameters=* option, which passes any arbitrary parameter to the filter. Someone should really get around to documenting these parameters. If only there was some centralized document for all the ffmpeg filters and their functionality...

@Alexander Krmzyan actually there's a prohibition in a lot of states in India. In some states possession of alcohol is a non bailable offence with a maximum of ten years sentence.
@Alexander Krmzyan Nah, dude has no idea wtf he's talking about. Its just one state Gujrat, and people there frown upon everything. For the rest of the country(or at least the majority) alcohol flows freely, because trying that shit would topple governments. Drinking in public places(apart from permitted beaches, bars and resturants) is still an offence everywhere, just like most places in the world. Also the people from Gujrat line up to visit an area out of state where alcohol is cheaper than rest of the country.

@@GeneralPenemonto the only possible thing I can think of is a memory issue, but that doesnt narrow it down.
I once had an issue where the audio stopped working on my computer. One of the first answers I came across was to clear cookies, but I figured that couldn't be the solution because the audio wasn't working everywhere. I then went onto multiple 10+ y/o forums with increasingly complicated answers, learned what a BIOS was, discovered programs I never even knew were on my computer, and nearly threw my mouse out of frustration. 3 hours later, after the solutions began involving replacing physical components in my computer, I tried just taking the advice of the first answer, and deleting my cookies. *IT WORKED.*
Moral of the story: if you see an answer that you think is completely irrelevant, it's probably the solution to your problem.
That same thing actually happened to me. I had audio desync on chrome and somehow, updating my clock on my computer fixed it. Glad to know that that wasn't just a nightmare.
How tf can cookies mess your audio system wide?
a cookie is just an alphanumeric key value pair. they are literally variables for the website that sets them to use, heck, cookies are isolated to the website that sets them, you cannot read other websites cookies...
It is literally impossible for cookies to be the cause, at most the problem may be a cookie set by browser plugin somehow blocking the audio in that browser, but if it affected you outside the browser, you ain't having a cookie problem, you had a deeper problem.
@@diablo.the.cheater I asked myself the same question.
It is not the cookies.. it is chrome. You just needed to restart chrome.
Somehow reinstalling audio drivers fixed an audio cable with bad contacts. How? Who the hell knows.
"Shutting this thread as it has already been answered in another thread", provides link, link is dead. Or someone from 2004 asks the exact same niche question as you and it has 0 replies.

Hell is not a lake of fire or land of endless torture. Stack Overflow is.
I feel the pain. Once asked a very simple question involving sending the size of an array of integers to a function in C, and my question got marked as duplicate, even though I spent 20 minutes looking for that answer on the site.
The supposed duplicate hadn't anything to do with my question, but had a similar answer (not the same, just similar).
These people need to understand that asking how much is 20 * 3 isn't the same as asking how much is 30 + 30, even if the answers are the same.
My favorite part of the internet is when people answer Amazon review questions with "I don't know but-"
"So first you're going to want to boot into bios-"

As an IT student I had to search for many things in forums, I'm shure that's all I'll do in hell
I'm pretty sure that any classes to do with IT is just a test of vigilance. It's not solving the problem that's the hard part, it's trying to find it online.
Hi Shure. I'm Sennheiser. Nice to meet you!
2:09 - Actually that is Bulgarian and it makes no sense since it literally translates as : The computer are one of the peoples descendant of Macedonia, which in the early medieval period create a vast Ukranians country. Taco, which conquers and adds to itself the neighboring Slavic tribes and realms to the north and to the east.
thanks for translating
I can confirm as a fellow Bulgarian

That's actually surprising. The name sounds so generic it has to have been used before.
I love that kilian watched kilian. While recording for kilian.
You forgot where you find an actually helpful video with a long intro, you skip forward 5 minutes and the problem is already solved, so you have to go back and watch the really long intro

Random dude on tech website: oh boy, you'd better buckle up buckeroo, now I can get you there but I have a few warnings before we start. for starters editing windows files could make your computer get Thanks snapped out of existence, furthermore, your entire browser history including that which you thought was safe in incognito mode will be instantly mailed to a dozen different government organizations. Now if you're ok with that risk here's all you have to do:
did you try updating your drivers?

“Can’t boot windows? Download this software to fix it!”
"I don't have this problem because I use an iMac" is so accurate. Way too often I see people who think all computer issues can be solved by downloading linux
The worst part about them is the inevitable combination 'tirade against Microsoft/defense of Linux' they perform every time they comment. "Microsoft sucks because of all the bloatware, sure it runs infinitely faster than basically every other commercial option, but you lose out on at LEAST 50MB of storage. And besides, Linux is amazing. People think it can't play games, but last time I checked a massive 2.3% of games were linux-compatible. Sure, not any of the new or classic ones, but I only play REAL games like Dwarf Fortress and Minesweeper anyway."
You forgot the part where there's always someone that says it's a virus or that the computer has been hacked and to do a full scan with your AV and if that doesn't work download this random ass free "recovery software" which "does everything and more" with a link to adfly that goes to some fishy download site then when you manage to finally actually download the damn thing you open the installer and you have to go through it step by step slowly as the installer 'asks' if you want to install macfee, bing searchbar and some other random bullshit and even when you say no to all of them it ends up secretly installing some other program in the background while pretending it's only installed the program that you've been trying to get then when you open the program it says you need to make an account which takes you to registration page that once you've made an account also asks for your credit card details to 'start the free trial' but that can be easily skipped by putting nothing in any of the boxes and just hitting 'register' of which does nothing for the program because when you hit that register button on the program it just closed the popup and turns out you didn't need to register at all and then you see a warning message after the popup is gone that "you dont need to make an account to use this program, any popups that lead to any websites have nothing to do with us, tots legit plz trust it wasn't us that purposefully put it there" and that when you finally try and use the program it just crashes leading you down a rabit hole of going to another forum asking how to get the program to work just for someone to say that it's a virus and that your computer has been hacked and to do a full scan with you AV and if that doesn't wok download this random ass free "recovery software" which "fixes everything and more" - which also looks awfully similar to the one you're having troubles with - that links to adfly that goes to some fishy download site then when you manage to download the damn thing you open the installer and you have to go through it step by step slowly as the installer 'asks' if you want to install 'IObit systemcare' then when you finally get through it and open the program your entire computer gets locked out so then you have to take it to a repair shop and they say to go to this fishy website and to definitely not use the appstore to download this program onto your phone and tap it against your computer 3 times with the app open and it'll be fine but when you open the app your phone gets locked out and your credit car is somehow completely wiped of all money and you have no idea when that happened or how it could have possibly happened so then you go back to the store and by an entire new computer.
Oh, you also where there's always someone that says to turn off your AV because it might be blocking access to the thing.
What did the fullstop and comma do to you?

I second this
I’m wondering if it’s just a coincidence or if Kilian is actually referencing Three Idiots.
@@timgb7882 Its probably a coincidence lol. I dont think Killian has watched any Indian Movies.
@@timgb7882 No, us Indians are just very obsessed with that movie.
Well kilian is known for referencing pop cultures, and some of my friends (not indian) have watched them too, so it’s possible he watched it too

Reminds me of when I was trying to figure out what the numbers on my dishwasher dial mean.
Turns out my dishwasher is like 3 years old which means:
A: all the internet sites for the company are completely different and only care about products made in the last 10 minutes.
B: the online manuals are all wrong and don't apply to my model.
C: it's impossible to find anyone else with the same model online because nobody in their right mind posts "Here's a video of me using my series xyz a100232 model 69 power washer in the drawer configuration specifically from 2017 and not the one with the same model name from three years later."
What's worse is that I found the manual, but it turns out the company doesn't make a manual for each model, and instead just has a general manual that presumably they tell the people making the washers to adhere to. So of course the official manual that came with the machine is wrong as well. Fucks sake.
Now I'm sitting here with a washing machine that has a tiny little hose sticking out the bottom that used to plug into some device that broke off, pumping a small stream of water onto whatever surface it's sitting on and I'm thinking "Well it doesn't seem to effect the machine when it's running, so fuck it I guess."
For all I know it's going to explode at some point or something, but I couldn't find anyone who knows even a little bit about this specific machine either online or in person, and I visited like 25 people who fix washing machines for a living.
TLDR: my washing machine is some kind of eldritch box that no mortal mind could possibly comprehend and I am forever scarred from my journey of trying to understand even a tenth of its grand designs.
Did you not learn not to open pandora's box? If you crack open the arcane seals holding your washer together, not only will it cease to function, but the very world itself shall too be broken.
I had a similar issue with .NET Framework. Just suddenly stopped working one day. Anything that needs it, dead. Updates, dead. Terraria, dead. Discord, dead. Everything I attempt, no response. Then one day, some stuff that needed it started working again, others still broken. I've since learned to not question my technological overlords and simply accept my position. They giveth, and they taketh away.
Man, this is so accurate and basically sums up why I avoid online forums entirely.

You forgot the part where the mods remove your post because you didn't spend time looking through 10 years+ of questions to make sure no one had ever asked the same earlier
My favourite response is the ol' "Why are you trying to do that?"
This is so accurate that half way through the video I couldn't tell if I was crying because it was so funny, or if I just got extremely depressed.
Either way, great video!
The dude asking for the PC specific hardware specs for something that is totally, absolutely, not even slightly related to that is so accurate that kinda hurt
"DON'T NECRO OLD THREADS! THREAD LOCKED!"
this is one of my favourite videos on youtube
My favorite is this fresh hell:

- "How do I solve [their problem that exactly describes the problem I'm now having too]?"
- "Nevermind I solved it. [no more info]"
- "User last posted 9 years ago"
I don’t mean to be that guy.... but I watched the whole video and I still don’t know how to change my background.

That’s because there is no way to change the background. Once you have it, it’s like that forever.
(In reality there is a way to change the background but I don’t know it because I don’t have a Windows computer)
Just buy a new computer.

Kilian is like the second page of Google. Last resort for information on how to do things incorrectly!
last time I was this early Kilians wife was still with him
Um, she died in a carrot related incident you sicko!!!
Find your videos so relaxing, you are the guy I go to relax after a long day.
This video is too relatable. This is the exact experience for trying to search for a solution to something specific on a computer these days.
I google a tech problem:
> find a video -> has lots of views and a good like/dislike ratio
> reads comments -> nothing but praise “so good, easy to follow, works perfectly, etc.”
> I try
> I fail horribly

I hate it when I check the comments in the video and everyone is like "Really good tutorial!" "It helped me a lot!" "Thank you very much!" and them there that one guy who says "It doesn't work, guys. It's a scam".
WHO SHOULD I BELIEVE NOW?
I’m so used to every video being completely nonsensical and confusing on this channel, I didn’t even realize it was an April fools video until I checked the date. I guess that is the Killian Experience
I love the amount of effort that went into this, real gem.
This might be your best video yet.
