Good YouTube/etc Channels worth watching

Hey y'all, just wanted to bump this because I think it's particularly important...

It's a bit long, but very much worth listening to. The threats posed by AI are way worse than I thought. This shit is terrifying!
(yeah, I know, like we didn't have enough to worry about already)
 


Fern is another of those channels that covers all manner of topics. All of which are more interesting than you’d initially expect. Great stuff with outstanding production quality.

This one happens to be about gaming in the Eastern Bloc, but that’s cos it just so happens to be the one I just watched. Every video is a different topic so don’t be put off if gaming history isn’t your bag. Give em a go!
 
In 1984, a former KGB agent explained — in precise technical detail — why showing someone the truth doesn't change their mind. The answer is more disturbing than you think.Yuri Bezmenov defected from the Soviet Union in 1970 and spent fourteen years warning the West about a process called ideological subversion. He described four stages designed to restructure how an entire population processes reality — not by hiding information, but by ensuring that when the truth arrives, it produces nothing. This video breaks down all four stages, explains why the process targets the people most convinced they're immune, and ends with a specific protocol for building the one defense that holds.Based on the 1984 interview between Yuri Bezmenov and G. Edward Griffin.

"spent three days inside a group in Scotland that’s gone viral and divided opinion across the internet. The Kingdom of Kubala is a self-defined community with its own identity, beliefs, and way of life - set in the Scottish countryside."

Remember these cunts @Shambles

You should be aware that this channel along with a bunch of other popular channels were purchased by blackrock not long ago.
 
I've been following this story quite closely, and here it is all laid out with all the details summarised, with no exaggerations, falsehoods, or sensationalising.

Apart from maybe the title, which hopefully is premature, and not going to happen.

The End Of Royal Mail

But the service certainly is rapidly declining, ever since Vince Cable's bright idea to sell it off, at a massively undervalued price. And that was only the first mistake. I used to respect Vince Cable, but now that I know that he's the one responsible for this debacle, it undoes anything else that was good or clever that he ever did or said.

This guy really knows his subject, and presents things in a lively engaging way. I've already tried some of his suggestions, and will be going through this video, and more of his others with a pen and notebook to hand.

Some of the stuff is too technical for me, or rather it requires too much effort and learning, I don't want to build my own PC from scratch, I just want what I have to run better. But if I did want to build my own PC, this guy gives the impression that you could do it, following his suggestions.

The performance on my Win 11 machine appears to have been throttled. I can't work out of it was due to a new chip that Microsoft decided everyone needed to run Win11. I'm currently not sure if the absence of said new chip means Win 11 will not run at all, or it will run at a much reduced performance. Which is what is happening to me. Do you know any more about this by any chance @Shinji Ikari ?

I'm going through his suggestions, and trying the easiest things first, like removing unnecessary shite from the start up menu. I'll see what difference that makes when I next boot up, or re-start.

There's tonnes of suggestions.

If anyone wanted to build their own pc, or learn about improving it's performance, I'd say that this channel offers an accessible and engaging entry point to this whole hobbyist niche.

I'll see how many of this guys suggestions I can try, and what difference they make. If things are still bad after all of that, it will be time to determine which is the most unbloated, low resource requirement,. yet user friendly at the same time, operating system among the huge number of operating systems now available to chose from within the Linux range.

Fortunately I followed some tutorials before setting up my Win 11 PC, and have avoided the worst of the horrors like having to login to a Microsoft account so that ever single thing you do is monitored, and avoided one drive, and that horrible idea to take screenshots of your PC every 3 seconds. Apparently Microsoft knows that home users hate the direction it's gone down, but they don't care, business users full of employees using their computers are now their main market. Although as Microsoft pay retailers to sell PCs with windows already installed, of course this will be what they sell to the home user market.. Only a tiny fraction of people only ever get dissatisfied enough with Windows to uninstall it, and use a Linux o/s instead. Linux respects their users privacy, Microsoft takes the absolute piss. It's astonishing that so many people just accept it. Maybe 65% of people. The other 30% on Apple. And about 5% on Linux operating systems.

If you were able to install windows 11 it probably isn't the hardware. I recently installed windows 11 on a old home build running an AMD FX6300 from 2012 and it ran like butter. As the for the cause though, like you say it be a lot of things and I've beaten my head against the wall trying to rectify similar issues in the past. You could try running something like CCleaner which'll automate solving a lot of common windows bloat issues for you. Failing that doing a fresh install (which you can do without removing your files) may help speed up a laggy system.

Or use Linux as you suggest. It's a lot more user friendly these days as long as you aren't bound to any programs that refuse to run outside of windows but that's a fairly short list these days.

*Edit now I think about it the home build was a second gen ryzen. Still not fully compatible with windows 11 I had to do some bios tinkering to get it to work but not as old as I thought.
