    6:29 I love the attention to detail. Malware in the 90s and early 2000s used to have the .TXT.vbs extensions because Windows would hide vbs extensions by default. So the user would see it as a text file, but it would execute as a Visual Basic script. Malware also commonly spread through mass emails such as the ILOVEYOU virus, which worked just like the malware in this video.

    • @tast5755
      @tast5755 2 месяца назад

      His tone is not "deadpan," it is "flippant." The use of the word deadpan is used to describe a deliberate inexpressiveness. While the term "flippant" is used to describe something that does not show a serious or respectful attitude. For example, a judge may use a deadpan tone to address a courtroom, as they are supposed to be emotionally removed from a conflict. Whereas, if I started talking about executing a family of five with a light smile and carefree tone, then that would be considered flippant.

    This reminds me of something I've done numerous times before. If I'm angry at somebody at work and I'm sending an email communication, I write it out exactly how I want to say to get it off my chest, and then go back through it and edit it to a work appropriate message. It's therapeutic, but be warned, you need to make sure you don't hit 'send' on accident in it's honest form.

    You know your email is truly well written when you get an invitation to your boss' office as a response. That's when they want to hear more in person and are almost ready to promote you. Another good indicator is if you get a simple "???". It means they want to know more about what you're saying because it's just so good. Usage of daring language is important as well to let the higher-ups notice your potential, as it is a way to show you're ready to take initiative.

    At 3:10, Smithers himself uses the word "EFFECTS" incorrectly in "Negatively EFFECTS Smithers" (I'm probably not the first to point this out). It should be "AFFECTS" because it's used as a verb -- same as "Dildo up ass AFFECTS Nimesh" (which is correct). Here's a sample replacement: "This has a negative EFFECT on Smithers". Glad to be of help!
