  • Correct. But at least we all can agree that the OG pillars of sciTube (and adjacent content) who keep it fresh with their unique forever updating style are the less guilty of those tactics: 3blue1brown, Vsauce, CGP Grey, Steve Mould, Matt Parker, Numberphile & 3 or 4 more that escape the tip of my tongue. They all do this for a living, but only one created a loot box and all profits go to research.



  • Didn’t know that. Can you tell me who is supposed to enforce this and where is the law from?

    When you accept the ToS I always understood that I was signing in for emails, just like (in my experience) 100% of other services/sites like Spotify, Proton, Bandcamp, eBay, Facebook, X, GitHub… well I’m not gonna list every single one but you get me.

    Still, thank you for educating me.

    No, but seriously, this is not toxic marketing, the “users” are emotes, something very clever but that is lost on you and that’s fine; but to call it toxic… I don’t know Rick.

    • I will keep the comment as is, I was informed this is illegal in some regions. Marketing is… marketing & as someone that has worked for agencies I am knowledgeable enough to admit that some tactics are indeed invasive an/or dubious. No offense to anyone was intended.











  • $799.00 USD gets you the Mac mini with the same (maybe faster?) RAM and (slightly faster) SSD.

    And it very comfortably beats the 7535U while consuming less energy & staying cooler.

    Definitely a deal breaker [M2 Mac mini] for Windows x86 dependant workflows; not so much for Linux users tho.

    I think AMD is the only one with a real chance at matching and maybe beating Apple in the mini PC space, but pricing and architectural differences still make it really challenging.




  • hack me with 0 click interaction

    That’s very doable on Linux too.

    In other comment you said something along the lines of “just hire an expert”. They charge way more by the hour.

    Maintaining a distro for this very reason will never look ‘cheaper’ for executives. Trust me. They rather pay you to see stuff that has CLEAR and FAST deliverables, that’s what they do what they do, make/save money; take shortcuts.
