Enshitification intensifies.

Canis Canem Edit on PlayStation 2 and Bully on Xbox 360. Two names for the same game.

Rockstar Games: “How should we name our game
a) Name it after some Shakespearean Latin shit or
b) Name it the thing kids do when they beat the fuck out of each other?”

Also Rockstar: “why not both”

You vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about.

Does anybody else also prefer the look of older CCFL LCDs to newer LED backlit LCDs? I know the newer type are better and more efficient but I prefer the warmer look of an older LCD panel that uses CCFLs.

People don’t appreciate that this is a good thing, I’d rather wait a little longer and get a better quality product over a rushed one sooner.

Here’s a test of the soeakers. I think they sound pretty good. Not bad for

I picked these up from marketplace today for $20, these are a set of Gateway 2000 2.1 computer speakers from sometime in the mid to late ‘90s, these are awesome sounding and a perfect fit for my new retro PC setup.

I haven't seen that one specifically, but I do see a bug where I go to type a path in the address bar, and if I navigate back and forth, it keeps bringing up the address bar recent/suggested items.

Windows 11, such quality amirite?

No wonder why they didn’t admit anything, this was this the sign you’d see when entering Epstein’s island.

I guess Microsoft is finally getting what they want, basically ride or die with the latest version now.

I suspect this is the way things will be going forward. Whenever Windows 12 releases, 11 will most likely have a couple extra years of support and then that will be it.

This is the first time in the history of Windows that the only supported version is the latest one. Previously when a version has gone EOL, the supported versions are at least two versions or more (e.g Win7 EOL still had both 8.1 & 10 in support, 8.1 EOL had 10 & 11 supported).

that looks like a scrotum wtf lol.

I had about 1,500 subscribers when I made this video, by December 2015 I had almost double that, and by Christmas 2016, I was nearing 6,000 subscribers from what I can remember, so this video had a significant impact on the growth of my channel

This video took off like a rocket ship, and by Christmas 2015 I reached a peak of over 7k views just in one day!

Even a year later in 2016, this video also had an extremely high view count in one day, despite a new model of Xbox being released by then.

When making this video I didn't think it would become popular, I just made a video of it because it was a new thing I got at the time, but it got picked up by the algorithm and gave my channel a huge boost. I doubled my subscriber count before the end of that year.

YouTube video by Jack Stavris Unboxing & Setup: Microsoft Xbox One 1TB

10 years ago today I uploaded my most viewed video ever, an unboxing and setup of a 1TB Xbox One. It's my only video to ever reach a million views and generated enough revenue to cover the cost of the Xbox.

Windows XP Service Pack 2 is actually Windows XP Second Edition.

Change my mind.

This isn't a replacement for my YouTube channel, nothing will ever replace that, but this is a good alternative to YouTube.

MakerTube is very similar in concept to Mastodon, as it's de-centralized. Think of it as a form of redundancy or a second source for my content.

Jack Stavris I make videos about my hobbies, mostly tech related and gaming, with the odd vlog or two here and there. If you enjoy laid back content about my weird obsession with tech you might want to consider...

So I'm now on MakerTube. Here's my channel.

I'm still figuring out how it works, and when I'll upload my content to it. I'll announce when I'll start putting some things there.

This is basically all of my collection, fits nicely on the new rack.

I don’t think I’ve ever been able to fit all of it in one shot before.

Some of these you’ve seen in videos, some you have not, some are recent pickups, others I’ve had for a long time but never got time to fix

y’all like my new rack?

I haven’t had a proper place to store my computer collection until now, they’ve all been sitting in boxes in my living room since I moved. Very glad to have this now.

We really are living in a bizarro world lol

YouTube video by Jack Stavris Main PC 2025 Upgrade Adventure Part 1 - Foreshadowing Failure

New video (finally!)

Here is Part 1 of the Main PC 2025 upgrade adventure. I hope you enjoy it.

youtu.be/cWaDAhd7LsY?...

So the next video on the main PC upgrades is coming. This will be Part 1 of either two or three, haven't figured that out yet.

Export is done, just need to run through Handbrake and then upload. I had even more issues with the export last night, guess this project is cursed lol.

So what's with the delay? Well, I know I say this a lot, but if I'm honest between my job, some life circumstances like moving to my new place, and my own mental health issues lately, I've been sitting on this for a while. I also had to re-do the entire edit twice.

I think pigs are flying because a new video is coming!

I did some upgrades to my main PC earlier this year and have a lot of footage of it for more than one video.

It's exporting now so it should be up soon. Stay tuned.

This is often cited as my biggest complaint on YouTube is the length of the video.

I wish I knew a way to not do this, since this makes me look like a giant hypocrite lol.

Think it's ironic that I'm someone who suffers from issues with their attention span and finds it hard to focus on a long video (possibly undiagnosed ADHD), whenever I make videos, they're always end up as long ramble sessions which don't get to the point.

guess they're jealous I have a big black Model M and they don't? #CommentOfTheDay
