Still an improvement and less risk.

As a contractor/consultant, the large, multinational I work for requires that about half the work I do be done through a shatty RDP server box that’s shared by about 130 other plebes like me. It’s slow as fuck and was running Windows Server 2012. Even Chrome stopped updating some time ago and warned me every day that the OS was unsupported. It was just another sad little reminder every day about how much my employer hated its contractors.
Well, no more! I logged in this morning and they’d upgraded the machine! Welcome to the future, I thought as I watched it start up. Then I discovered they’d upgraded to Windows Server 2019 which came out in 2018 and will be out of support in a few months.
Ffs
hey i bet it was on sale!
If I see a watermark saying “This copy of windows is not genuine” I’m not going to be shocked.

That’s how it works in the third world, you get all the shit that we don’t want. The onshore people are probably using Windows server 2025. If it makes you feel better, I will send you some Miami Dolphins 2022 Super Bowl Champions tshirts?

I am embracing the FUTURE!!!

It’s all about lowering resistance!

Lying ass Hog! Will never trust another Asian!

CNET is still around?

Does this mean the Intel 486 is no longer blazing fast?

Linus apparently mouthed off about Gamers Nexus the other day and they responded with a 45 minute smack down of LTT that is just absolutely devastating.

Don’t fuck with PC Jesus!

I was looking at a lot of his stuff (linus) when I was building my new PC and that guy came off as such a big fucking AMD shill lol.
In the end I stuck with nvidia.
His building guide was pretty cool though.

I wish I would have bought Nvidia stock years ago. Shut is going nuts.

Wow, for the first time in over a decade LTT halted video production to clean up their shit. Glad they took Gamer’s Nexus criticism seriously and didn’t just lash out at them.
Linus Tech Tips issues full video response and halts production amid Gamers Nexus backlash
Edit: I linked the wrong article initially.

Linus monetized his apology? Jajajajajajajajajajaja. Actually that’s a good business plan. Go full Karen and let it go viral, then post a bunch of monetized apologies on Youtube and get rich!

Fuck I hope that means that’s the end of them It used to be okay when they’d ask you to solve one on a new account sign up, but now they are just endless.
I had one yesterday on the google search page while signed into a google account that I give them $10 a month to use. I use that account all day, every day for work and have to sign in again with my password every few weeks.
Anyway, on the Google search captcha, I solved two “find all the fire hydrant” type puzzles and when I got to the third I thought, I know how to solve this permanently and typed duckduckgo.com into the address bar. Fuck that shit. Make some other monkey dance ya cunts.

SocialBlade, a tracker of subscriber counts, is currently estimating that the main Linus Tech Tips channel will dip to 15.3 million subs.
While it’s a noticeable protest, I’m sure they’ll survive the “bleed”.
Subs are kind of meaningless now anyway since YouTube decided they know what you want to watch better than you do. Being subbed doesn’t guarantee their vids will show up on your feed and unsubbing doesn’t stop them from appearing either (you need to click the menu and select “Don’t recommend channel”. )
I really hate the modern YouTube. It’s toxic for the creators and frustrating for the users.

Yeah, same. YouTube is a mess now.
