Remember when youtube wasn't literally just TV 2.0?
come home, white man.
>white man
Who are you talking to?
>white
specifically that one neon-white neckbeard that never gets any sun
he glows under blacklight
I don't know which instance to use
Your recommended videos reflect what you watch, so that screenshot reflects more on you than on YouTube.
Dumbass those are the recommendations you get when you wipe cookies, it's the default shit they put up for people.
Huh, I opened YouTube in a fresh incognito session with no cookies and get ones more like this. It's still normie shit, but it's less moronic than that batch.
Still obsessed with trump I see.
I'd say this is more normie than the other one
Did they actually censor "trump"? Holy shit
Holy shit, these idiots literally built a Condo for him to live RENT FREE! Lmao. I think it’s they that need to be reminded that HE LOST.
Did that touch your nerve little guy?
Nah, I voted Bernie 🙂
I’m trans btw
I don't get the joke. Wasn't Bernie anti trans?
>t. europoor
Yeah you still get personalized videos, they are just more general when you are "logged out"
It is astonishing how every time I come across colbert it is somehow even more deranged than the last time
it's more astonishing that you singled out a completely innocuous thumbnail for comment because after six years of being grifted your brain is still full of cheetoh cum
>It is astonishing how every time I come across colbert it is somehow even more deranged than the last time
>these morons thing youtube forgets entirely about you after clearing your cookies
Which was part of my point. Original guy's shitty recommendations still somewhat reflect what he or others in his household watch.
t. first guy you quoted
youtube doesn't store recommendations with cookies
and an incognito doesn't remove all tracking :s
anon you should know this you're on a tech board
>tech board
Sorry mate, this is IQfy's tech support, if you want to find a proper tech board you'll have to go deeper
Yes, but clearing cookies as original anon said his screenshot was from doesn't do any more than incognito. In fact it removes less. So, again, we're just seeing stuff based on what he watches. Mine was a mix of a few poor suggestions based on the tech stuff I watch, some "relaxing music" ones based on another computer at my public IP that we often play such videos on to calm the puppy for naptime, and some random shit thrown in because no account is logged in. Note that the puppy music suggestions come through anyway even though the computer that plays those runs Firefox on the newest Windows 10 while I'm running Ungoogled Chromium on an old-ish Windows 10 build that works with the version of VMware I need for work. Both are Windows 10 and have 1080p monitors I suppose, but apart from that and the same IP their fingerprint stuff should be very different.
Same IP? You still got some stuff based on just being at the same IP.
I run ephemeral profiles on chrome, this is always how it looks before I log in, it's a sort of litmus for what is both popular and frequented. It's entirely demoralizing how brain dead all that shit is. I also get a lot of "She did not date the poor driver until he took her to his house and she realized he was a billionaire looking for a wife" Black person shit
yeah but it's just a logic consequence from all the morons that used to watch tv watching youtube instead
dont hate the technology, hate the people
It always had clickbait
kinda curious how that guy survived for 30 days on $0.01 though
He's rich and comes from money, I'm sure it's some bullshit 30 day adventure where he crashes with people he knows.
I miss 2009 amateur videos and finding out random shit in recommended videos.
now if I watch something, I have to see 200+ of the same shit, no rare recommendations or anything impressive to see.
Someone knows how to get the old recommended algorithm?
You can't, sorry but youtube is shit, do what we all do and move on to other things
jfc that's ancient
I'm suprised someone still remembers it this vividly
Sometimes I still get recommendations that aren't 200 of the same polished videos, but equally as obscure videos, but only for topics that haven't been ruined by normies yet.
Lately, the only times I've seen this are early vocaloid songs from 2008-2012 and autists making CW ham radio videos from mountaintops and remote locations.
frick i miss old school youtube
youtube is not even tv quality now, it is worse
you can not show shit that has been shown on primetime tv, instead your channel disappears for a few days because "COMMUNITY GUIDELINES"
(no, it was not a copyright strike, the uploader had full copyrights to show that on youtube)
I love technology and wish humans would just die already and get replaced by logic-driven synths.

If this is one of the older non-steer by wire teslas, the electric power steering is kicking in to let him physically move the wheel while stopped and doing this for any amount of time will put a bald spot on your tires because he's literally turning the wheels to play bing bing wahoo
Fairly sure the wheels don't move.
And it's something to do while waiting at a charger so why not?
They do move. Or at least they did when my friend who worked on it at Tesla showed me the demo. He said they couldn't change that since the steering wheel is physically connected to the wheels
My car is from that unfortunate era after touchscreens became good and cheap, but before people demanded the return of some physical switches. To change music tracks or volume I have to take my eyes off the road to use the touch screen, and vibrations from the shit roads here make it super jittery.
No steering wheel controls?
My car has the touchscreen, dab and Bluetooth. But the software running on it is crap, think about getting an Android auto unit put in but I also can't be bothered.
>a fricking heated cup
>that requires a app to use
>that requires an account to use the app
was it really so hard to slap a little OLED screen on there with a couple of capacitive buttons for setting the temperature or a timer or whatever you want your heated cup to do?
They wouldn't get any investor funding if it wasn't cloud based, you can't get angel investors with honest buy-once products that don't generate a constant revenue stream.
What does the app even do other than set the temperature and the glowing light color?
Why do I need an account for this?
I remember when the first gen was being fire saled for $50 at starbucks because it only had an hour battery life and they couldn't convince enough suckers to buy it at the regular price.
>What does the app even do other than set the temperature and the glowing light color?
That's all it does. And update the cup's firmware.
this shit gets firmware updates?
Yea man what if I hack ur cup... I can make yout coffee get TOO HOT!
Impossible. There is only too cold.
>update the cup's firmware
honk honk i'm going to scalp whoever did that honk honk honk
embedded flash, limited write cycles tbh
Truly sales clowns never cease to amaze me.
>an hour battery life
kek
A decent thermos can keep a drink hot or cold for many hours, no apps, batteries or other bullshit required.
Still worth it. Love this cup for coffee
use microwave
cup warmers like this have existed since the 80s. and they a fraction cheaper, for the same functionality. you are a technology-obsessed homosexual and your internet-addled brain will contribute to the downfall of mankind
I'm pretty sure they've existed since the invention of the A/C power cord. Literally the second thing we thought to do with electricity is heat shit up.
the modern ones fricking suck and max out at 165. most of the heat is lost in the air anyways so the liquid barely stays above room temp
Why is the power button on the fricking bottom and not in the handle?
>rip the cup open
>short the heating element to a battery
>heat coffe
>nothing personnel, kid
Those idiots. They forgot the monthly fee
Checked dubs, also more thing connected to the internet and probably fricking vulnerable, and the people buying this probably also buy with credit card with their phone so bye bye zoomers.
Don't believe this can be possible? Check: https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/368943
moronic homosexuals connecting all of their shit to the internet because they can't manage their accounts like adults.
They invented the fricking hotplate, but you have to use and app and pay a fee to use it? Where' the innovation here?
the innovation is that now it has an app and a fee
i don't hate the tech per se, but i hate how it affects the younger generation
If you were put in front of a punch card computer you wouldn't know how to use one either you massive homosexual.
You don't know that.
Yes I do
False equivalence.
A computer that comes with a manual on how to use it for work is not the same as a consumer item made to be intuitively understood by utter idiots.
The touchscreen phone requires very very little intelligence to use, an illiterate monkey can play around with it. But the hubris of people is such that they believe the current generation is more advanced than previous ones simply because muh fancy tech gadgets that dumb farmer grandpa didn't have. The current generation is in fact more pathetic than house pets, than caged hamsters.
Grandpa wasn't a farmer, he was a factory drone who tightened a single bolt for his entire life. Great great grandpa would be the farmers.
>an illiterate monkey can play around with it.
you have no idea
>technology has improved so much we are able to let literal morons be productive with it
based, it sounds to me you're just seething
>Productive
I don't think your 5yo daughter is doing anything remotely productive on Tiktok.
To leftist pedos and groomers I assure you they disagree.
Wow, you should have a nice day
How does someone get so irrationally angry at children?
This is a video of a toddler not understanding how to use something that it has never encountered before.
No shit it is as smart as an ape, it's a fricking child. It can barely walk or speak.
But I guess that means everyone in the arbitrary group of people you hate must be actual animals.
People have been saying the same shit since before, and none of them are self aware enough to realise it isn't true.
Kids these days are probably better off because people have been getting measurably smarter over time, and they don't have lead poisoning.
seething because he will never have kids or someone that loves him
A child being dumb is whatever, naturally still has to learn everything.
I am not angry, I have utter contempt for all the cattle people who think they're really fricking smart as they recite mainstream talking points that conveniently pop up on their shiny screens. The same worthless meatbags that give a phone to their kid so they wouldn't get bothered by the child wanting attention from their parents. First world society is fricked beyond belief.

>"adblockers are killing the web"
good
the sooner the normies get sick of it and end up in walled garden app stores, the sooner the rest of us can go back to using http for sharing our fun little websites and hobby pages in peace
the only way out of the eternal summer is through. lead the masses along and reclaim our space.
this is the only reason i like the idea of the web3 trash - let every common idiot move on to the hyper-libertarian crypto-anarchist hellscape trash world and our comfy tech will regrow
I don't get why return to http, you literally want to get surveillanced by the government because you're being a nostalgay.
Also there are comfy tech forums that aren't full of Black folk and zoomers, but you won't find it in the clearweb because that's were all the normies are.
https is fine too as a base protocol. it's certificate authorities that are a fricking scam- by their power, self-signed certs are a browser-reported crime-in-progress when they should be completely permitted, maybe just denoted with a different color lock symbol or something. letsencrypt has been making strides here fortunately since despite the root CA corruption, there is inherent obvious technical value in a trusted central authority whose root certs are pre-distributed, but the homosexuals who tried to lock it down and charge $400/yr for certs before LE came along need to fricking go for good.
as for http and surveillance concerns.. going to someone's personal hobby cookbook website and printing out a new scone recipe needs absolutely no encryption and you're a paranoid schizophrenic if you say otherwise.

reading comprehension
I hate how quickly people intentionally abandon better technology for something that actively limits their control over their device.
I've had to reject nearly half the applicants for an undergrad position at my lab because they know literally nothing about computers. They don't know basic file management, can't troubleshoot any aspect of the process, have no clue when it comes to networking and, worst of all, can't navigate menus unless they're big off-white or pastel coloured fricking bubbles. I know these kids were raised on iPads, but it's obvious universities are no longer teaching, or even grading, their ability to use technology they'll need in industry or academia.
One of these kids navigating a Windows XP explorer menu is like a mentally moronic kid with a book; just vacantly staring without an ounce of comprehension as they randomly manipulate it, so totally perplexed by its function and form.
This sounds like hyperbole, you have undergrads who can't read and can't work a start menu?
An exact example: Change one setting for a centrifuge connected to a PC. It's a simple program with fillable fields, you just need to be able to set its connection and save the settings to a file.
Nearly half simply couldn't do it. Literally could not figure out how to change their view to see file details or even knew they had to save. About half of those that could, couldn't organise the files or select the correct centrifuge without prompting.
>Literally could not figure out how to change their view to see file details
See, here's the problem with people like you, you expect everyone to hit the ground running knowing how your particular internal software stack works.
How was he supposed to know how to do that if you haven't taught them?
>or even knew they had to save
How were they supposed to know they had to save before leaving that screen?
>couldn't organise the files or select the correct centrifuge without prompting.
Why aren't you training your staff?
>save settings to a file
That wording tells me that the settings is saved to a .txt file.
>change their view to see file details
I think he is talking about the windows file explorer view.
>How was he supposed to know how to do that if you haven't taught them?
>How were they supposed to know
see, here's the problem with people like you. none of these tasks are complex tasks that require training. they require extremely rudimentary observation, consideration, and problem-solving skills.
you were given a very basic goal with clear objectives.
if anything, the presence of people like you make me happy that i'll never be out of a job: i'll always have to build systems that cater to the lowest common denominator that is "muh brain use = hurts" folks like you.
this is what you sound like:
>how am i supposed to know what direction my front door opens in?
>how am i expected to know what the beeps from my microwave mean? how do you expect me to enter a cook time without training?
>how am i supposed to know how often i should clean my bathroom if someone hasn't instructed me?
>why should i be expected to wash my sheets? nobody told me how to do this
not him, but yeah, normalgays should be a lot more inquisitive. in my experience they're unreasonably afraid of fricking things up, so wont touch anything unless someone's holding their hand.
>why should i be expected to wash my sheets? nobody told me how to do this
you're hitting a little bit close to home pal. some of us were raised by workaholic morons who never taught us anything. i myself can barely cook or clean
>some of us were raised by workaholic morons who never taught us anything. i myself can barely cook or clean
this was totally my childhood - single parent workaholic, around for maybe an hour every day.
it's not a big logical leap to go from "sheets make me itch" to "oh i should wash them like my clothes."
nor is "countertop smells funny and has stuff on it" to "this bottle says 'countertop cleaner', 'spray, let sit, wipe away'.. ok"
and that's not even using the internet to supplement information
but folks like the other anon would be all
>durr why did dey design sheets to get dirty lmao noone trained me on this!!
>haha my landlord didn't train me on countertop cleaning i hate how countertops are always sticky and smelly bro
Perhaps your undergrads are engaging in the observation, consideration, and problem-solving while fricking your shit up because they haven't had the opportunity to frick that shit up elsewhere.
>le undergraduates
we get it, you're trapped in a uni for the next 8 years and you want to get laid. want help? i can bust you out
I'm a NEET. Used to be an engineering student years ago but got sick, fricked that up, and never made it back.
Bro, you wish it was hyperbole, in reality they're much worse. My friend runs a machining class and they can't even read a ruler. They'll mindlessly run tools into vices and break the shit out of them. They'll drill through the fricking vice. They barely have a grasp on basic math. The bar has been set so low, the intro quiz is literally on fractions.
Also whenever anything blows up in their faces from ramming a tool a tool into a lathe or some shit, they just stand their with a dumbfounded blank expression. No change in emotions whatsoever. Like they don't even realize the danger they're in. Absolute madness.
>They'll drill through the fricking vice
kek, why?
I don't know! But all the mill's vices are speckled with little 1/8th inch holes. That shit's nowhere even close to the work piece.
>I know these kids were raised on iPads, but it's obvious universities are no longer teaching, or even grading, their ability to use technology they'll need in industry or academia.
Fire sale, colleges know the scam is up and are letting anybody and anybody through, no more ACT and SAT needed? So they can scam more kids into taking massive debt. The colleges know it, and so do most people. I have young adult cousins and for the first time in my life im hearing about kids choosing not to go to uni for trades or other things.

My nephew has been using a small samsung kids tablet for simple kid games, would it still be worth it to gift him a 3ds or 2ds for his birthday? or do kids these days really not use any devices with buttons?
ye they're still fun to play with, modding them for piracy is super simple as well, but i would suggest you avoid the new 2ds xl because it's pretty fragile
Yeah I have a modded 3ds xl, I could get one for him and install a shit ton of kids games, just hope he'll like Mario and whatnot because I don't think he ever played such games
