5:00 This is exactly what people were worried about regarding Apple's similar program. Now we have proof these concerns were legitimate.
People are worried for more reasons than that. This just proves that even if the intent of the creators was 100% pure and unbiased, it would still be bad.

I don't think child sexual abuse is widespread enough to warrant automatic detection and report to authorities. Also, most pictures of naked children are likely either children's medical problems or parents thinking their baby is cute. I think all our parents have some of those embarrassing photos.

We shouldn't be so harsh on Apple... after all, they need to be able to earn their money in China, so their leaky VPN is expected and desired behaviour 👀
It's not leaky at all there are no leaks. No, there is just a leak-proof tube from your account to the CCP's database ;)
I'm sure it is patched in Chinese only version because ccp also uses the same iphones. Govt care more about their data than their citizens when it comes to privacy. But the question is imagine installing tiktok on your iPhone and it being still able to track your cellular IP while on VPN how nice of apple to give user IP data Of USA and various other countries citizens to Chinese authorities. 😵💫
@@rapiddu6482 The Chinese government shouldn't care that their real IP address is showing, but they would care if their citizen's address were instead.
It's a feature not a bug 🥴
Yeah. They need to earn money so they can pay the Chinese kids they enslave and force to build iPhones for them. And that IS true. Apple got accused of it and admitted to it. It's been on the news. Apple runs a Chinese slave camp.
I remember when apple and google said they would start scanning images to "protect" children and that it couldn't be misused or cause false positives. Looks like that worked out great.
there are a big difference between Google and Apple, Apple just wanted to check those images what stored on icloud, so they just don't want to store your illegal images on their servers, the MD5 what they wanted to check is like the plate number on cars, a very unique id for each file, and they only wanted to check those.. But Google actually scanning the images for years.. or do you think the show similar images picked manualy for humans to categorize the images..? they are not just scanning once, they are also saving the result in database for later usage..

@@possamei no backup, full wipe. not fun
I'm lucky. I had a whole campaign to manually store keys for our hundreds of devices from June. Because Microsoft's E3 is absolute shit at synchronizing properly when onboarding devices so I learnt the hard way when a few codes weren't available as a result. Spent the entirety of last week sorting this issue out. Granted, we have had just as bad issues with our Dell Encryption which we recently moved away from.
my company does as well. sooo much fun
Same 😂
Is Apple going to sell replacement displays, or replacement top cases? It's an important distinction, as by selling the entire top case they're selling a substantial number of extra parts that are probably still perfectly usable on your existing device. It's a question worth asking because that's also how they pad the bottom line on their own repair services as well.
The program only exists to gaslight the lawmakers into thinking that we don't need right to repair. It's not supposed to be good. They still want you to just buy a new device.
Apple only offers hinge up display replacements. And as for the top case, it's always going to include the keyboard depending on the model, it may also include the battery, trackpad, and or touch bar. I can't see them offering different parts from what they offer to authorized repair services.
Apple gotta Apple. Will they sell you just the part you need?
Of course they won't you absolute Donut lol they don't even give you a charger with your $1800 iPhone that's identical to the one you just traded in for $500 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@DailyCorvid I don’t even think isheep buy iPhones for that price bro
@@10-volt LOL!!!!
Which proves my point. People who have iPhones have no clue about the cost of it, and they don't care because they want 6 months of bragging "I got the new iClone!"
Here is why EVERYONE pays $1800 AT LEAST!
...
£43 per month over 36 months, which is the minimum contract where the handset is "free" ... With standard inclusive minutes and texts and a measly 3GB monthly data :
* £ 1 5 4 8 ! ! * oh yes a bargain...
By the time you have paid that phone off, that's if you didn't break it lose it or have it stolen .... You will have a 3 yr old phone that's slow as shit, doesn't work with your modern apps - has zero bragging rights, and to top it off is worth £400 traded in AS NEW (so no scratches damage etc).
£1548 = $1836 = The MINIMUM cost of the iPhone 13.
3GB of data is barely enough to service Facebook messenger and visual voicemail, so really you will probably be spending another £6-10 a month on more data. You will want Ear Buds which are £170 since there is no headphone jack anymore, a case to protect the flimsy ass screen that's another £30 ... And finally you gotta buy a charger cable and block since the stingy gits no longer include on in there for your £1500...
MINIMUM cost of iPhone 13 = £1500 ish
NORMAL cost of iPhone 13 = £2100 ish
UNLIMITED tariff iPhone 13 = £2350 ish

It never really left. Science just figured out what it was effective at actually treating, then tuned it to be more effective and less barbaric. It's now called ECT.
This is, by the way, the history of pretty much all modern medicine. Some shaman, humorist or snake oil salesman, against all odds, accidentally stumbled upon some wildly improbable treatment that *actually worked*, and millennia later science may have devised theories as to the mechanisms behind it, but mostly the treatment protocol has improved by nothing more than centuries of empirical testing.
@@lanye2708 "Typically, 70 to 120 volts are applied externally to the patient's head, resulting in approximately 800 milliamperes of direct current passing between the electrodes[…]. However, only about 1% of the electrical current crosses the bony skull into the brain because skull impedance is about 100 times higher than skin impedance." That sounds like a "weak current" too, yet it's the definition of ECT.
The Clip Studio drama is even worse than it seems, they're basically charging you a subscription model to access updates *after* you paid for a full license
Well yeah. You are paying for updates.
Thats pretty fucking normal. And frankly, how it should be. You get what you pay for. And then to get the work they do *after* of course you pay more. Thats the only reason update exist. Its better then being forced to pay for updates you don't use. This is done the right way.
@@Wylie288 yea really, CSP announcement was very poorly worded, and people freak out before reading the full announcement
you just pay for a licensee like always and you get the program with the known features, and updates for stability and security, and you can pay a subscription for additional features, would like those to be single pay but is not as bad as people say
sadly no direct way to upgrade form V1 to V2 without subscription, but with how reasonable CSP pricing is, is not that big of a issue really
If you really want to sue Sony for something, their memory cards on the PS2 might stick. They used "MagicGate" to prevent third parties from making them, and then charged $50 for 8 MB cards when at the time that could buy 64 MB USB drives.

@@DailyCorvid Found the sony executive
@@DailyCorvid Your coffee machine rejects third party capsules? You have grounds for a "tying" lawsuit under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act or Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Good luck getting anyone to enforce it, because hey who follows laws, but it is 100% illegal.
@@DailyCorvid you don't think their should be a standard coffee capsule? Are you an extortionist exploiter?
Or course there should be standardisation. They reduces cost, waste, increases competition, gives consumers more choice. What if the brand you choose goes bust in 2 years of changes the shape?
Since Sony tried to rip everyone off with the anti-SD card 5x more expensive scandal decades ago I've not bought anything Sony. Needed a TV, got a Panasonic. Needed another TV, got an LG. Needed several smartphones, anything but Sony or Apple (exploiters, anti-competitive, communist). Needed a new hi-fi, Marantz, Denon and Panasonic.
They should put ripoff scum in prison because they try to steal from the whole country or even planet. They commit treason against us all. Not enough that they are fined €500 million. Put the execs and shareholders in prison.
PC parts are standard. Increases competition, reduces waste, efficiency, everyone wins.
Look at Apple ripping off their sheep with over priced cables etc. Whenever I see someone with an iPhone it's a sign they're crap at tech or don't mind being ripped off, or both.
@@Google_Does_Evil_Now I get your general points, but I'd argue that standardising a coffee capsule is extreme. First, who would make the standard for a coffee capsule? Second, who would open source the standard to make it available to everyone? Third (probably not applicable but still), who would update the standard when the next big thing in Coffee comes to fruition? With memory cards, sure I can see why that's worth arguing for... but I'm being pedantic.
Also "Whenever I see someone with an iPhone it's a sign they're crap at tech or don't mind being ripped off, or both." is a gross miss-simplification, as there are some things on iPhone that just blatantly work better than on Android... not enough for me to switch to iPhone but the argument stands for some people. Also yes now I'm being extremely pedantic, sue me.

Yeah, that was a huge slap in the face to the artist I follow. They are pissed
As an artist I hope they will change the final decision because I don't plan on buying a subscription for a program I already have, personally there haven't been much useful content in recent updates which makes me more sure I'll just stay with the last free version for me and not plan to update to a subscription plan
@@raspberryquake935 everyone missed the point. you get to keep your version forever. and when the next major update comes out, you can buy a license for that one IF YOU WISH. its like Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop CS4. Celesys was most likely not actually bringing in profits, because everyone and their dad pirated their app, and they didn't have huge businesses to hold a huge lawsuit threat over to make money off of like Adobe.
@@AuroraNemoia still scummy to lock updates to an update pass even to 2.0 perpetual license buyers.
@@AuroraNemoia Watch more closely to their roadmap. 2.0 is their final non-subscribe version and all the contents after 2.1 is locked on the additional plan. The standalone 2.0 package that contains no update is what got most people confused on its existance (since they stated it'll be similar to the 1.0 pricing, which 1.0 is getting updates for so many years till now)

Guilty until proven innocent! Who doesn't love the American justice system and how much power random companies have over our lives?

And most importantly who should they punish, at the Google side of things for the defamation, the stigma, the mental torment and the potential economical/career issues that a being investigated for abusing your own child based on false accusations from a random search engine tech company, that can't even find that video I have been looking for in the last 8 years?

Have they covered the story where Microsoft is claiming that Sony is paying "blocking rights" for games yet?
If they did, what video was it?
It's basically a non-story because it's not an isolated thing. Not sure if they did mention it but actually explaining what's going on would require decent chunk of context.
At this point we should all help develop GIMP
Christ I stopped using that over a decade ago lol
It's pretty darn powerful. There's nothing I can't do in GIMP that can be done in photoshop, and the approach is pretty familiar/similar, even more intuitive for me tbh. Plus the Discord is very active and full of friendly experts to help out. They're always improving things too with regular fine tuning to the interface and behaviour. Definitely worth trying out if you haven't already

It's a lot more personalizable than Ps ever was, and not just in appearance... I even have a joystick mouse set up so I can switch brush size/hardness/shape on the fly - I have to use AutoHotKey to even get something basic in Ps ...and pay a subscription for the privilege x'D
Thanks for everything!
This update made it so I couldn't use my external monitor. And it ran so slow and kept over heating, it's an older surface pro. I wiped it and installed Linux Mint.
I'll mention this, Sony isn't good at percentages on the PS Store, for example, I once seen a game with an original price of £15.99 and it was on sale down to 7.99 with a 80% discount. You ready that correctly, it was labelled as an 80% discount
Probably on purpose
Sold my 4 month old iPhone 13 and switched back to my 4 year old Android. Never been happier.
Never made sense to me what I paid more for if I have to face same and sometimes even worse issues which I face on an android device literally half the price.
Just another reason I'm glad I've been learning Krita rather than Clip Studio Paint. Open Source all the way!
Indeed, very disappointing. More than that Krita has a cute mascot!
I just fully committed to Krita, I had been learning it and mixing it up with CSP EX (on wine) for a few months since I switched to Linux, and it's pretty much at the same point feature wise to how CSP was at the time I purchased it, the thing is, it's closing the gap very fast. Even though I own a CSP EX license I decided to switch out of dignity and principle.
I'm extremely happy to see it get noticed. One time payment option is good for basically everyone, from the ones who put it down and pick it up for a while, to ones that use it as often as possible and can just chip at the amount of money they spent on it on a faster period. But now they have turned on the allies in favor of profits. I hope we can get more people to learn coding and to support Krita. I would love to see it eventually close that gap in features for their top of the line selection.
If I had a flip phone, I wouldn’t have to worry about my VPN not working as it should, whether or not my phone is in the self service repair program or ads in my inbox. 🤔
I use Gimp as my Photoshop replacement....but for simple image editing I still use a copy of Paint Shop Pro which I bought way back in 2001. (Build date: July 13th 2001 @ 16:15:07). Literally don't need gimp 99.9% of the time. It also doesn't recognize more than 4GB of ram, but it doesn't really need more than that either LOL
I loved paint shop pro. Then the company got bought out by corel I think, went downhill after that.

@@rvmiv_ how long did it take you to adjust to Linux? How was the learning curve? Did you cold turkey quit windows or eased into linux slowly?
@@sweetmelon3365 I had tried it before, but not done a lot with it, but after the update issues I had at the beginning of this year I did decide to quit cold turkey (as my computer was constant frustration for me the way it was) but while that worked for me everyone is different and I wouldn't necessarily recommend that to others.
I took to it pretty quickly though, to me the way Linux works makes sense, there's always more to learn but I enjoy using my computer again
If you want to learn I'd recommend dual booting, preferably on a separate drive (as windows has been known to screw up the boot loader when it has to share) and taking it at your own pace, probably with something like Pop os (the issue Linus had was fixed months ago) or mint
Also remember, you can try out Linux distros using live USB, and don't have to install them immediately
Editto add: Just remember, it's not windows and it doesn't work the way windows does
The bitlocker issue caused a lot of problems at our firm, where bitlocker used to be required so many still have it setup
Same in our school. We were wondering why so many student's PC's were having the same issue.
That is why I adamantly oppose forced updates that can't be rolled back. I want to wait for the early adopters to find the bugs, and do the update when I can afford to have some downtime. With the number of devices I use, and the number of apps on those devices, it's pretty common for something I use routinely to break if I let everything update whenever it wants to.
Microsoft fired their entire bug testing team in 2015. You're not allowed to wait because _you are_ the bug tester.
Waiting won't help. They do have a large base of early adopters, the program is called Windows Insiders and apparently has around 10 million users. Although that's likely a peak number that they see when releasing major updates (like Win11), millions of people are testing out new builds and many of them are specifically looking for bugs and broken features. Stuff still gets through. That's why they have rolling updates.
While delaying updates would decrease the chances of a user encountering inconvenient issues like this, it would also increase the time it takes to discover them and you could get into a scenario where you've installed a several releases old update and only now discovered this issue. It would also pose a notable security risk, opening you up to malicious incidents, as there would definitely be people looking to exploit known issues on out of date machines.

The bitlocker thing has been happening to me every month. Thank god it's widespread, so it might now get a fix.
Actually looking into the Clip Studio thing as a long time user who already has to pay a subscription to use it on iOS since the perpetual license is for Windows and Mac only... it's not as bad as what Adobe did. Adobe went completely subscription only. CSP will let you buy the product at any point in time with the features as they stand and you will receive stability updates but not feature updates. The current 1.x version will receive stability updates until 3.0 comes out (and such is the plan to give stability updates to the current and previous main versions). Not really sure how long they intend to have between major versions.
While it's unfortunate, I don't have a huge issue with the change. Hell if they let me buy 2.0 for a one time fee on my ipad since I'm happy with the features I currently have and can stop paying the yearly fee I'd even consider it a win.
Honestly, I feel like it’s fair to pay for “features”. If you don’t need any newly developed features then you don’t need to pay and your current version of software will continue to work as expected.
Granted the benefits for a perpetual license is usually for those that cannot pay a subscription.
This is a slippery slope. First is the features on subscription, then the security updates, then the whole program. Adobe went down this path too and Creative Cloud is where it landed. A bloated, broken, user-unfriendly software abomination that forces me use Krita, Gimp, and Blender.
I love that everyone hates they have to turn the parts back to Apple. This is exactly the same as any other Apple certified repair shop. Consumers are getting treated no differently than we do, if we don’t return the parts we also get charged the full price for the item. And their parts return process for businesses is so much more confusing than it is for users, especially with the quantity that we are returning. Yes, apple sucks.
god forbid Apple did not have a complete monopoly on parts! thatd be horrible!
With how popular digital illustration is, I am surprised that there aren't many choices for software. Krita and Clip Studio Paint are the only dedicated ink drawing software.
Other software is geared more towards oil based painting, graphic design or photo editing.
glad you covered CSP
That first story about Microsoft’s bitlocker update problem isn’t very fun, as someone who works in a repair shop we get about 3 people a day come in saying their device is bitlockered, if they don’t know their Microsoft account information then the only thing we can do is replace the drive and their data is lost.
Well rest in peace, Paint. Time to move to Gimp
I tried, it’s not as easy as it sounds lol
My mom's surface got that update, and she never had recovery keys on her Microsoft account, rip data.
My nieces laptop suffered from the bitlocker update and the recovery key was not in her MS account. Turns out the key is stored in the account the user is logged into via a web browser, rather than the Windows 11 MS account she was logged into. We found the key in her college MS account her school set up. Why the key wasn’t stored on her personal Windows account is not clear, but hope this helps someone.
microsoft on their way to make another update that breaks everything:
*sips tea while chuckling at the Windows 10 peasants from my Linux tower*
(Yes, I know sometimes running Linux is not an option for some. Relax.)
Microsoft realizing that Windows isn't the only thing they can ruin with updates (Minecraft is another option)
Windows updates are often an ass tightening crap shot. How much worse will my battery life be? Did all my setting get wiped? How many drivers just got broken? It’s kind of exciting!!
You are admitting to be a masochist?
Somehow sleep function has even been removed from my PC today. It's super weird.
The guy who invented shock therapy: "holey shet, i was right? Khrm i mean.. Ofcourse it does.. And no i just didnt want to see them boil.. Keheheee"
this is why I never update windows
I keep my old PCs running their original OS for this very reason, as a last resort.
Apple so much for privacy 😂💔
in the uk dell ship business pc's with bitlocker turned on, so the users don't have a clue what the password would be. You have to be able to log in as an admin user to turn of bitlocker before any ssd/hd or cpu/motherboard problems arrise. Not much use if the end user is completely unaware they have bitlocker on until they have a hardware problem and their pc doesn't start and their data is unretrievable.
The windows blocker thing happened to me, out of frustration thought it was somehow due to some of my outdated files in system32, BIG MISTAKE...
it really boggles my mind how the linux community isnt literally destroying windows user share when microsoft is so incompetent at their job, i've been saying "oh, as soon as the next windows OS is released im switching to linux" - as you can imagine that hasnt happened... come on guys, can we finally get a good competitor to windows, microsoft at this point is literally serving them their user based on a silver plate
Then switch to Linux. What's stopping you? Do you expect a salesman at your door, asking for a few minutes of your time to discuss his lord and savior, Linus Torvalds?
dude, i tried linux, and it's sucks,
it is slow, glitchy, it's not solid enough.
the only problem with windows is their update, but the OS itself is Fast, stable and reliable,
something that linux is not.
stop pretending as if Linux can compete with windows and MacOs, it can't
I tried Linux cus I was tired of windows and the braking point came when win11 required Microsoft accounts for sign in. I'm still learning Linux in the side, but if I had to give 1 reason to not switching over completely, is that it has a steep learning curve for someone from Windows. Especially with installing apps(why are there so many stores and what's their pros and cons??) and diagnosing issues. I thought I would be able to switch completely after 1 week of Linux usage but no, I've to relearn basic tasks from Windows so it'll take time
And what would that do for "the Linux community"? (Whoever that may be. Anyone using Linux? So is there a "Windows community", too? Or Linux developers? Who is that, any kernel developer?) None of these users or developers would make money from that, would they? And all the _companies_ offering a Linux distribution with support are focused on business/enterprise, I think. I could only see some Linux users/developers want this because they just want more people using Linux, in general. ("Year of the Linux desktop" meme and so on.) But that's hardly "the Linux community".
So I'm not sure what you are referring to. _shrug_
i never updated my pc in almost a decade, i formatted it with newer version couple of times, but i always disable the updates and remove vast majority of bloats from it each time...
Sorry, but that's just dumb.
Enjoy the vulnerabilities with a healthy dose of malware
as long as it is air capped
How do you disable updates, every time I do it, it just gets automatically re-enabled.
@@SmallLegacy Hacks. I have a service running on boot that kills Microsoft's crap. There are other ways but they break the OS's cryptographic security.
You can change the settings in Windows Update to defer updates for a time. That means any updates that break your system can be patched by the time you next update.
This is crazy my mom recently updated her dell pc and she was pissed since she didn’t know her bitlocker password she has to wait a month. She said she updated her pc and it locked up. I thought this only happened to her
I never updated my pc in every OS version and never had problems.
I mean even tho windows update sucks, that’s a horrible idea
Ah yes windows being windows again. Wonderful
We also drink tea and do nothing but dance round in our knickers
Welp, its time to recharge Grandma again with the charging hat
I switched to mac because I kept having issues like these. It’s so much more stable. I only use windows on my gaming pc
Same got my Sim Racing rig running windows and my M1 Mac Mini for daily use/productivity
Stay tuned, Apple is moving into games so help is coming!
@@tonyburzio4107 NGL if all of my PC games worked with zero issues on MacOS I’d never use windows again.

"researchers in Switzerland"
meanwhile: "Participants were recruited from the greater Boston metropolitan area via advertisements on local and electronic bulletin boards. In total, 156 older participants provided informed written consent to procedures approved by the Boston University Institutional Review Board"
also look at the author affiliations, last time I checked Boston University was not in Switzerland lmao
I just had the bitlocker issue after updating a surface device. Am reinstalling it right now and started watching techlinked to pass the time and saw this LMAO
That comic book guy 35 seconds in was great.
That Sony suit is very unlikely to go anywhere but I am very happy to see people try, let the censorious Sony suffer a thousand cuts.
Our judges do not use gavels either, guv.
I find the censorship stuff being put on par with anticompetitive concerns odd.
Would say first but CZcams never actually shows who's first if your early enough
Glad I'm pausing updates right now (also because I have limited Mobile Data that I can't apply them.)
So much news, but 75% is that we shouldn't trust technology and companies, 10% are commercials, and the other 15% are good news, and what's left is up to you to decide!
