hey guys its riley from the video and despite what i said the other week i am not a magical being gifted with immortality which is why being alive while getting $5 off your Magic Spoon order with code linus at lmg.gg/magicspoon is such a big deal. we're all gonna die someday! this is a special fleeting moment. enjoy
Looked at new crocks. Turn them over, check size (I once bought size 10, one was and the other 2 inches longer). Different store, the crocks had a warning sticker, clear with tiny text. It outright tells you they can cause cancer. Yet, take ten steps, and the label will gone. I bought a cheap office chair and it smelled so bad, I had to de-gas it in my spare room. Took two days and smelled like dry cleaning chemicals. Wonder how the factory smells😷
Well their revenues are $55b a year, which is about $150m a day. They save on some fuel expenses, but still paid captains and first officers to be there. Then you have reimbursements and make right payments, $500m isn’t actually that outrageous even ignoring loss of reputation when customers got stuck on the tarmac. That outage was a huge deal.
@@CoconutMigratingMaybe so, but shouldn’t they take some blame for having no redundancy? Would delta pay crowdstrike $500m if they had a flight delay that resulted in a missed business deal worth $500m?
Maybe they should put their Own name before pushing the Update to the public, or else they'll just hide behind the company name and not getting punished for their action.
Fun fact: I applied for a job as a Senior Reliability Engineer for Office 365 for the Latam region at Microsoft last year. One of the interviewers spent about 1 hour talking about extreme outage scenarios, and how they were building up this amazing monitoring subsystem that upon detecting a server crash could automate a reboot and/or a service restart, depending on several parameters, like the service response time, logging information, ability to reach the server, error/exit code, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't quite test properly for DDoS and the monitoring system was accidentally restarting services on its own. I do recall that they were configuring very tight timings, and a few ms away from that may cause the monitoring system to unintentionally trigger thinking that there was an internal issue. PS: Ultimately, they did not give me the job.
I remember when there were more than 3 companies that made up the entire internet. Things were better and worse. But there were fewer single point failures.

Regarding the illegal Facebook Marketplace listings, I've even noticed them in my city but you can't report an ad on the grounds that something about it is illegal, which is sort of breathtaking in a way

it's honestly wild how intentionally ineffective the report function on Facebook really is. Extremely rigid categories that don't cover extremely important categories. I've heard of instances where if someone is organizing a harassment campaign on Facebook for someone not on Facebook, there's basically no way to report them because you're not allowed to report harassment on behalf of someone who isn't on the site. And some of them are very clearly "yes thanks for telling us, please shut up now." where they don't ask for further details. Also, hhell yeah love to see Wayne.
Funny thing with how their "DDOS protection made things worse" is that this is how people die of fever. They're not just emulating human intelligence, they're emulating our physiology's problems.
I think it would be better for society if all these were just money laundering. The real thing is that the tech industry is kind of running out of ideas and they're starting to panic at the idea that investors start to think the next iPhone might not be right around the corner. This isn't money being churned for the sake of hiding illicit gains, it's actually worse. People just dumping resources into a fireplace hoping it eventually pays off several times over in the long-run. They already had a few major false-starts with all the Crypto and Web3 stuff that ultimately failed to really catch on outside of a few very sad diehards. It honestly reminds me of the late 19'th century having a bunch of millenarian cults. Moore's Law (or the false understanding of it) is no longer holding true, the fundamental assumption of the tech industry is breaking as externalities start to mount. Management gets stuffed with bean-counters and charlatans who don't understand the tech they promote, massive layoffs happen even though profits continue to increase, just not as explosively as they'd have liked. Hell, even when you do meet sales expectations the bean-counters might decide you've outlived your usefulness and give you a Pink Slip Bonus to make numbers that look good to the shareholders. People start putting their hopes in the end of days (the rapture? AGI? The Singularity?) coming soon because that's really the only way they currently understand how to reconcile what they're seeing with what they think must be true. This isn't even getting into the weird Effective Altruism scene that got co-opted by people who actually believe in Rocco's Basilisk and insist that it's morally imperative to never do anything to inconvenience the development of AGI, lest you find out that AM can bring you back to life and torment you for the crime of questioning a Tech CEO when you were alive 60,000 years ago.

Its really sucks for consumer confidence when platform holders try to weasel out of what you'd expect to be an expected obligation of theirs. Im in Aus and its made me rethink if our consumer protection group has already made them do that here or not, given consumer protection is "decent" here, but also calls me to question what happens if I buy an item being shipped from Amazon US. I personally try to be picky on what electronic goods I get from online platforms and would go with known brands when I do, but this still takes away my confidence in not buying from a physical store instead.

Funny how every time AI shows up (that isn’t a frankly pathetic ad) it’s always one of two stories 1. A small group of researchers focused on a very specific problem, long thought impossible to overcome, used AI to make a huge breakthrough they say would have taken thousands of real people many decades to even conceive of the different calculations just to begin to find the solution. 2. AI is actively destroying the very fabric of society and everything we’re trying to do about it is either far too broad, or impossible to enforce… without more AI… which is actively destroying the fabric of society… and everything we’re trying to do about it is either far too broad… or… impossible to enforce… without… more… AI…
You can replace the word "AI" with "tech" (or indeed pretty much any kind of innovation) & what you said is still true. As seems so often the case, entrenched greed is what actually creates the problem which entrenched greed demands countermeasure against.

I still don't understand the logic behind Reddit's new stance. You should be paying search engines for driving traffic to your site, not the other way around. Expecting a search engine to pay you for the privilege of sending users to your site is some backwards logic I would expect from Apple.
@@NightKev I have a feeling this "lol" is about to unintentionally become the biggest "you wish it was over" moment in history, and the rest of this year is just gonna be a bunch of big tech computer problems XD. To be fair though I agree with jeffhidalgo, I hope things just stop erroring and having issues. Sadly I just don't think it will. Almost every negative trend lately (self induced things like the spread of AI into everything, or accidental things like CPUs catching fire) seem to just keep on going :/
@@midlifehemi88 Unfortunately the trend of every company coalescing into a small number of very significant and very vulnerable single-points-of-failure hasn't changed for decades now, and I doubt it will any time soon no matter how many times this continues to happen (as it has before, so many times) unless *everything* unrecoverably crumbles and there is literally no choice. So while I would like to hope things will improve, history tells me it won't.
Here is my experience with google AI searches while playing fire emble.. It takes the wiki page, searches for your querry words, copy pasted the relevant section in its entirety, and then adds a "this is a rough draft of what I found"

This reminds me of a time at work where we were having problems with our Exchange server. We phoned up Microsoft to ask if they could fix it and they said whoever set it up did a really poor job and clearly didn't know what they were doing. We host directly with Microsoft. The guy on the phone just said "oh... sorry".
I miss the days when I, as an individual, could call up mainstream software vendors & talk to support personnel who knew anything at all about the underlying systems. Now, anyone short of enterprise level, gets incomplete outdated documentation, a chatbot that knows two things, & censorship by moderation. Not that Microsoft doesn't have any qualified people on the phone; it's just that phone support that actually covers real-world issues seems so rarified it might as well come with chartered flights.
Well yes but also no: A major marketing hype cash grab, has latched onto haphazardly slapping "AI" on everything; but it's more like "web" than "NFT", in that it _is_ being used in industry, _is_ displacing jobs, & _is_ getting crammed into everything need-it-or-not. It's the same type of overusage that jargon such as "smart" & "web" went through. Everything with automation will be "AI" for a while, until such automation is in so many things, that the term loses significance. By then marketing will probably call the latest iterations something like Gen(AI)5000 & conflate it with cornflakes to point out how superior it is at resolving floating point errors. Point is, though, all this overhyped "AI" baloney is attracting money like crazy, precisely because there _are_ cost-cutting applications, & cost-cutting is what big business is all about.

Google was really convinced by the whole glue pizza thing and went “Ah, yeah, we gotta buy a monopoly on that.”
Oh don't give us the profile, mustache man. Half the west coast looks like the Village People and I blame you!! 😆
Story title for that Amazon story was just *chefs kiss*
I enjoy these TechLinked videos a lot. I started watching them each week. The abrupt cutting at the very end of this one caught me off guard though.
8:12 If i watch it with someone else.... then what??? I need to know!
Wow July is just the month of Outages. Crowdstrike & Microsoft are hopefully the last major outages we see for a long time
lol
@@NightKev I have a feeling this "lol" is about to unintentionally become the biggest "you wish it was over" moment in history, and the rest of this year is just gonna be a bunch of big tech computer problems XD.
To be fair though I agree with jeffhidalgo, I hope things just stop erroring and having issues. Sadly I just don't think it will. Almost every negative trend lately (self induced things like the spread of AI into everything, or accidental things like CPUs catching fire) seem to just keep on going :/
@@midlifehemi88 Unfortunately the trend of every company coalescing into a small number of very significant and very vulnerable single-points-of-failure hasn't changed for decades now, and I doubt it will any time soon no matter how many times this continues to happen (as it has before, so many times) unless *everything* unrecoverably crumbles and there is literally no choice.
So while I would like to hope things will improve, history tells me it won't.
Nah, there's still enough stuff running on Intel out there. 🙈🙉🙊
Until people stop using Microsoft and move to Macs and Linux this shit will keep happening
I think Riley is the only presenter who I don't find cringey when he does funny intros...low key hilarious
Here is my experience with google AI searches while playing fire emble..
It takes the wiki page, searches for your querry words, copy pasted the relevant section in its entirety, and then adds a "this is a rough draft of what I found"
That sounds better than ChatGPT which currently claims to have nothing, while actually having all the things, latent & ready for it to misinterpret when attempting to phrase an answer such that it won't violate copyright.
Imagine donating to the Friend company, and they blow 1.8 Mil, out of the 2 Mil raised, to buy a DOMAIN NAME?!??!
5:45
You, sir, should go to your room right now and think about what you said!
LOL
1. Does this "friend" have any benefits?
2. What if I'm busy with ny friend with benefit, will my friend cheer me on
3. I have a feeling this friend is not going to split the uber bill, which makes it a bad friend
For an extra $80 you can get a friend with a vibrate function
I opened the replies, to make sure someone said this.
Microsoft: Not even once. The proper way to handle this is to break up big Windows.
Driving something to Google’s second page is effectively a death sentence for most sites.
Microsoft wants to record everything we do for Co-Pilot…….
Yeah I trust them to record it all…
5:20 “STORY TITLE”, your overlay macro is missing a check to prevent inserting overlays when the title has not been set 😉
The Same day shipping to afterlife part got me lmfao
We're in an age where Hackers are lose effective at hacking then security software, and even the people who made the App/OS they're hacking.
Active security software has always been a hot mess.
Dude, Amazon being held responsible for that is such a good step in the direction. Hope they truly enforce it
This reminds me of a time at work where we were having problems with our Exchange server. We phoned up Microsoft to ask if they could fix it and they said whoever set it up did a really poor job and clearly didn't know what they were doing. We host directly with Microsoft. The guy on the phone just said "oh... sorry".
I miss the days when I, as an individual, could call up mainstream software vendors & talk to support personnel who knew anything at all about the underlying systems.
Now, anyone short of enterprise level, gets incomplete outdated documentation, a chatbot that knows two things, & censorship by moderation. Not that Microsoft doesn't have any qualified people on the phone; it's just that phone support that actually covers real-world issues seems so rarified it might as well come with chartered flights.
Except instead of "WOOOAAH" they make you go [youtube ad break], hmm.
that thumbnail pic always makes me think youre about to cry lol.
ITS OK MAN.
NICROSOFT IS GONNA BE OOOOOOK.
jkjkjkjk lol
“We put chatGPT on a neckless for you to talk to!” Instantly gets $10 billion evaluation
Well... 2 million. Which would just about buy you an ok house where I live.
They really done did DDoS the DDoS
I'd like to think these companies know the "Don't put all of your eggs in one basket" metaphor.
I got an ad right at “instead of making you go ‘woah’ it makes you go” and the ad has celestial music at the beginning, it fit perfect
Oh man, your ad-blocking quit working! Quick, get any half-decent free ad-blocker before proceeding to do _anything_ else online!
Oh poor Microsoft well that is assuming they didn't call everything a feature when security researchers reported problems.
5:17 story title
Yea 😂
Been watching since netlinked, decided to comment because goodness gracious are the intros fantastic in this series!
I couldn't stop laughing for a solid minute with that teams line XD
unhinged intro, here for it
What more evidence do you need that "AI" is a cash grab just like NFTs than a company blowing it's entire budget on a domain name
Well yes but also no: A major marketing hype cash grab, has latched onto haphazardly slapping "AI" on everything; but it's more like "web" than "NFT", in that it _is_ being used in industry, _is_ displacing jobs, & _is_ getting crammed into everything need-it-or-not. It's the same type of overusage that jargon such as "smart" & "web" went through.
Everything with automation will be "AI" for a while, until such automation is in so many things, that the term loses significance.
By then marketing will probably call the latest iterations something like Gen(AI)5000 & conflate it with cornflakes to point out how superior it is at resolving floating point errors.
Point is, though, all this overhyped "AI" baloney is attracting money like crazy, precisely because there _are_ cost-cutting applications, & cost-cutting is what big business is all about.
3:51 I see a good Jonathan Franks, Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction impression
To be fair, Delta should be suing itself for not being able to do quick system restores or having failovers
Fail over your entire IT stack.
What's that it's running cloud strike too so now it's failing? Amazing
_"The day AWS stopped."_
5:20 "Story Title"
Excellent.
What?! You’re just going to leave us hanging at the outro???
5:24 - when your editors forget to put the "Story Title" in...
@5:46 LOL !!!! Who comes up with that stuff - 😂🤣😂🤣😂
It’s a beautiful day outside. Birds are singing, flowers are blooming, on days like these, companies like you… S H O U L D B E F I X I N G T H E I R P R O D U C T S (*Megalovania intensifies*)
I notice they say both kill and electrocute as so many people didn’t understand that electrocute implies death.
They thought it was a Pokemon
@@prophetzarquon1922 Lol
5:45 lmao did you guys hire a Dropout TV writer for the scripts or something, that joke was gold
how many friends can I wear? 20? 30? Is 40 friends too many?
I feel like, if it can't do multiple "friends" in a single pendant, it's an extra triple fail.
Sheesh… I feel like my best way forward is to do everything as locally and distributed as possible and not allowing my content to be siloed too much.
Saying "Has only 4-5 grams of net carbs" while showing a nutritional label on the cereal that shows it had 15g with 2g of fiber, being 13g of net carbs, doesn't really look all that good.
"or receive those images" did they actually add that? Anyone with a phone or email can "receive" any image
"they cant even do drugs" - Think of the chil- I mean bots!!!!
Perfect advertising. Azure ad only 30 seconds before an article about it 😂
Amazon delivering same-day delivery to the afterlife killed me (pun intended)
It's a beautiful day outside
Birds are singing
Flowers are blooming
On days like these kids like you...
This was the best intro I've seen in a youtube video ever, of all time.
To be fair to Microsoft, DDOS attacks are becoming increasingly impossible to truly guard against. especially as people are getting full botnets set up in every country imaginable
When Riley announced the QuickBits at 4:22, it kinda looked like he was doing the splits, for some reason
