      Also worth mentioning at 19:08 it says "Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself." Tons of little easter eggs

      File names are not part of the file. They exist in the file formatting on the storage media not the actual file contents. You can test this by changing file names and checking file sizes to see that it doesn’t change.

    • @Diamonddrake
      @Diamonddrake 4 года назад +404

      Z1PLOKK the file doesn’t contain its own name. It’s not part of the QR code. The file system contains the name, which you have to supply at time of scan. On FAT file system for example file names are pre allocated to 11 characters. Changing the name doesn’t affect the size of the FAT meta data at all. Names are labels in the file system not part of the file itself. Yes the data exists somewhere, but not as part of the file.

    0:12 The QR code that he's both holding and is on the table says "Subscribe to MattKC"
    0:30 The binary translates to "Well this annoy"
    0:36 The hex bytes say "Why the fuck did I choose to do this oh god"
    0:41 The QR code reads "Genesis does what Nintendon't"
    0:46 The binary says "Genesis doesn't what Nintendoes"
    1:48 All of the big QR codes say "Version 40 QR Code can contain up to 1852 chars.
    A QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) is a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) that is designed to be read by smartphones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded may be text, a URL, or other data.
    Created by Toyota subsidiary Denso Wave in 1994, the QR code is one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes. The QR code was designed to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.
    The technology has seen frequent use in Japan and South Korea; the United Kingdom is the seventh-largest national consumer of QR codes.
    Although initially used for tracking parts in vehicle manufacturing, QR codes now are used in a much broader context, including both commercial tracking applications and convenience-oriented applications aimed at mobile phone users (termed mobile tagging). QR codes may be used to display text to the user, to add a vCard contact to the user's device, to open a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), or to compose an e-mail or text message. Users can generate and print their own QR codes for others to scan and use by visiting one of several paid and free QR code generating sites or apps."
    3:47 This QR code says "DEEZ NUTS! HA! GOTEEEM"
    19:09 And this one reads "Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself."

This example is really stupid but you get the point.

  • @00001Htheprogrammer
    @00001Htheprogrammer Год назад +2

    (ignoring his particular choice of options)
    Depends on what do you consider as a "full game". If you consider the program that runs the code(maybe the OS e.g. for native executables, or a VM like Python or Java), it would factor in the entire Windows installation. Which is impossible.
    Therefore. native executables just won't fit.
    And if you use any programming language, there is a loophole that I can just make a language myself with just one function: run() that runs the game bundled in the VM.
    So you must restrict it to non-custom programming languages. But then I can use 3rd-party libraries. Or I'd just use PuzzleScript.
    And if you restrict it to assembly, not all CPUs have the same instruction set. So... we still have a problem.
    Therefore, we might have to restrict the code to certain selected programming languages with only the basic graphics libraries available.(E.g. OpenGL/GLFW for C++)

Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.

      A browser (at least on a windows system) is definitely heavier than a WinApi installation by virtue of the fact that the browser calls the windows API, and the API is already there...
      Although I guess if you're talking about what needs to be embedded into the program itself, perhaps not.
      Though really, you shouldn't be trying to use an API or operating system for this anyway.
      Too much overhead you can't afford.
      (Then again, since it's a QR code I guess that's unavoidable, since to my knowledge no computer can boot from a QR code. XD)
      In other contexts, what you'd do is write a SUPER-simple boot sector program.
      Stick to VGA and PC speaker sound and you can get it to work on almost anything, with minimal complexity and almost no operating system to speak of. (DOS largely exists to handle complex file systems. But you don't need that if your program is only a few kilobytes and you know where all of it physically is on your storage medium...)
