I worked for HP when they launced the tablet. It was a nightmare. After they took it offsale, they sold the leftover products to employees for $25. I got 10 of them and gave them out to kids at Christmas. 6 months later they shut down our branch and 95% of the employees lost their job.
95% of employees lost their jobs, damn what a "thank you" slap in the face😂 Now people are still working for hp and other Corporations that will continue to fire them if they want to.🙏🏾
@@nickodemusjohnson Well, At the time HP was the biggest computer manufacturer in the World so I doubt that 95 % of their employees lost their job. Perhaps Nightfoxx is meaning a single location (or a single project)?
I loved the Y2K bug. I was a Network manager at the time, and despite assuring my bosses (who knew nothing about computers) that my team had checked everything and made all the neccessary corrections, updates etc. they still insisted that someone was there as a safeguard as the year 2000 came around. So I spent the night sitting in a lovely cool server room, getting paid 4 times the normal rate, just to reassure them. Amazingly enough they still didn't listen to me when I said that we needed a better data backup system. I left the company about 6 months later and only a few years later bumped into an old colleague from that time. He told me of the disaster when their backups failed a few months after I had left. Oh well, some people never learn.
As a young edgelord at the time, and while it may not have been on systems that affected me directly or otherwise I am nevertheless designating you as their duly appointed representative, I salute you for your (unnecessary, but still appreciated) part in service of ensuring the reliability of the internet as a whole. (´・ω・｀)ゞ May your tubes remain unclogged, your doggos remain good boys, you cats remain lol, your copters rofl, your loads balanced, your uptimes mythical, reliability over 99.999%, your emergency phone silent, and your ass forever on the floor with laughter and good times. Also, fuck yeah make that 4x rate!!!! I once was asked me if I was alright to work christmas at 2x (being a youngin, 2x pay?! HELL YEAH!!!), my boss didnt quite know how to process me replying to her with 'can I work new years too?!?' And ah, the old life lesson all tech mangelment needs to learn...A backup that is not tested regularly is a point of failure. If you cant walk into the NOC and kick something over, your failsafes are not safe!
Well it gave me extra work.The people I was with at the time were still using PDP11 derived systems and yes, pretty much all of their software could only handle dates up to 31-Dec-1999 even though the OS could roll over up until 2037. They shut me off in a side room with a PC and left me to it! But I do remember these times and it annoys me that we who spent many hours of work to make sure that the effect of the Millennium Bug was as small as possible have often had our work belittled purely because we were successful in keep the systems running.
Sweden had like two problems due to that, SAS had problems with their ticket booking as many others because they used AXS ticket system, LKAB just empied the mine, just in case. No one else where effected because many uses their own systems, banking, goverment, military, hospitals, police. They do not use 3rd party things, they use in house things, that has been made in the 80s - 90s. That has been upgrading time to time for decades.
I kept wondering what happened to the software developer who introduced the logical error. It must be daunting to know that their work caused billions in losses.
Y2K was actually a demonstration of a HUGE tech success. Software engineers worked tirelessly to fix code and prevent the world collapsing. They don't get the credit they deserve for their hard work.
Indeed. It's like that old SNL sketch (I think it was SNL?) of the New York Bridge Inspectors. Nobody notices when things are working properly, but they sure as hell notice when they aren't.
The FIXING was a success, not the bug itself. But yeah, people nowadays seem to think the whole thing is a myth and/or something only wackos cared about. But no, it was just that governments and corporations listened to experts and did something to fix it. Kinda like the whole ozone layer thing.
Also thie idea that Y2K could have been avoided with adding two digits to a time stamp is very disingenuous. Computers, especially those early devices had very limited memory and CPU bandwidth. In 1960, what is the point of spending extra CPU cycles and additional (EXPENSIVE) memory processing dates in 4 digit years? The rsult would have been the same answer but a slower and more expensive computer. And Y2K is still with us, just to a lesser extent. In most cases the fix was chosing a point in time, usually 2050, and declaring that 01/01/51 is 1951 but 01/01/49 is 2049. Even that wasn't standardised. Some computers used 1970, others used 1940 - it depended on the data that the organisation needed to process. There are still a few older computers around that have that fix installed, because the date format is embedded at the hardware level and cannot be fixed directly. The only way to eliminate the bug is to replace the hardware, and most managers won't approve replacing working hardware without a damn good reason. "We might have a problem in 25 years" isn't going to sway anyone. Exactly the same thinking that caused Y2K.
It also was a real issue. Because it was tackled early on enough nothing major happened and it is now seen as something that sounded scary but wasn't. It was a very real and in potential very big problem that could have wrecked havoc. it is quite sad to see people play it for laughs. Because as the CrowdStrike mishap of earlier year this showed (and is in the video) some really small things can cause catastrophic results. And mind you, this bug wasn't even an error to begin with. It was the result of saving space. Nowadays you have storage a plenty. This wasn't the case 40 or 50 years ago. Those extra digits took up a lot of valuable space. It is in this video as a fail, and it was not a fail. It just wasn't.
6/10 is waaay too low when it comes to the whole disaster that is Cybertruck. Especially since most of its issues are or can be life-endangering, which is more than can be said about a failed generic hero shooter. Should've been in the top 5.
Indeed. This is classic Amazon behaviour. They'll ask businesses who their suppliers are and incentivise you to hold all your stock with them, then charge you for holding it, then charge you for selling it, then charge you again just because. Then they'll go and have a chat with your suppliers and basically end you by giving them a better deal. Because a $2trillion company has a little more negotiating power than one that probably makes way less than a million a year in revenue, never mind profit. Their whole M.O. is to monopolise everything then raise the prices when they've killed the competition. As has been proven multiple times just in the UK when high street companies have gone out of business like Jessops and HMV.

As someone who works in IT, I can safely say the crowdstrike incident was an absolute headache. Though, booting into safe mode and deleting the update files is an easy process, guiding people through that process was a whole other issue. I'm happy to say those days are behind us.
I feel you. I work in IT, too. On that day I checked some industry news, had 15 minutes of intense stress, and then I found out that we were not affected. I can't imagined how it must have felt to have that stress stretched over days

I worked for a major credit card company (1983-2009) and yes, the Y2K event entailed a major effort across the board. Thankfully, there were no issues on New Year's Day - but it definitely was NOT a false alarm. Edit: And guess where we spent New Year's Eve. 😁

Y2K was a wake up call to all software developers to be less negligent towards the future, and be more aware of similar upcoming problems, such as the 2038 Unix timestamp problem, to fix them far enough in advance (pretty much all modern software is already patched for Y2K38 by this point) such that there won't need to be so much panic at the last minute.
A friend worked in IT for Sears back in the 80’s. They realized that on multiple spots on every invoice, the date was being printed. With the considerable amount of paperwork they processed, they were able to realize a sizeable savings in paper, type ribbons, and time, by eliminating those 2 digits. He believed that they were the first company to come up with this solution, and to implement it. Since he passed away a few years ago, I can no longer get confirmation of this, but he found it immensely funny that as a consultant in 1999 he made way more money correcting the situation, than he did in creating it in the first place.
When I was in school (I'm from Uruguay) we had those XO laptops and they were great, I guess at that time we being kids didn't noticed or cared about it being "bad" because for most of us it was out first laptop ever.
That was the point, really. A lot of the reasons it failed was because of the western press just looking for problems with it, because that's how the media works in much of the world. The media are brilliant at running nice things. The British media as especially good at it lol.

Amazon are the kind of company that will just drown them in legal fees that cost them far, far, far more than it would to have just paid them proper compensation, all to spite them.
I remember New Year’s Eve 1999. I was 17 and was at a raging party. It was until about a minute to midnight, when everyone in the room turned to the huge 60 inch box, tv and held their breath because we thought that, as soon as it hit midnight, the power was going to go out planes were gonna fall out of the sky. Cars were going to stop working. I remember people being frantic about nuclear war breaking out so the room of boisterous teenagers turned into white knuckled, mouth breathers right up until midnight, everyone with their eyes bulging, expecting the worst and it was about five seconds after the new years ball finally fell, and no catastrophic things happened that you could feel the relief in the room. It was that sort of tension that was so thick you could cut it with a knife.

It's so nice to see a video of this format that's not all AI generated. Keep up the awesome work! I like the way you are able to break down some really complex concepts into something easily digestible, all within just a few seconds. I also appreciate the way your examples build off each other. The way you explained the R overbar error that happened with the Mariner-1 really helped to illustrate why people were so worried about Y2K, giving me a new perspective on Y2K as a whole.
Meanwhile, ArtLebedev is Russia's most well-known(overhyped) designer (design studio). Not like I care about him or his studio, but this phrase stood out.
I actually had the HP Touchpad when I was a kid. My brother worked at a electronic shop where they put it on sale for 99€ and he managed to get one for me. I used this thing every single day. I absolutely loved it!!
Just a major correction towards the end. Governments didn't fix anything in particular for Y2K. Private individuals, companies did. As a matter of fact it was companies who fixed the computers of which government agencies were using.
Similar to the Y2K problem, Tech companies are now working on fixing the Y2038 problem which might also cause computers to think they are in the past, this is due to how computers are designed to store the date and time in a signed 32-bit variable which will overflow in 2038. It's a very interesting concept.
@@Verander369 you'd think that but the main solution for the Y2038 problem is to use a 64-bit variable instead of 32-bit which will last us another 290 billion years, which is 20 times greater than the age of the universe.
@@Verander369y2k was because many computers used only 2 digits for year instead of 4, so when the century loops over it would think it’s 1900 again. Y238 is because the popular time data format called Unix time counts the number of seconds that has passed since 1/1/1970 and when it overflows the 32 bit integer limit it will go to negative 2 billion or something and then computers will think it’s 1930 or something I forgot. But I think it’s silly that it’s a signed integer because you can just make it unsigned to add another 60 years to its lifespan.
I love your videos, the Editing style, the voice, the pace that you keep and how precisely you describe everything, just adds up to something hard to pinpoint but seriously one of my favorite UA-camrs.

You should have added the mars probe where the US used imperial measurements when they had been given metric so it crashed into the surface. I still remember the old 'Y2K compliant' stickers on computers lol.
Spaceflight has so many embarrassing fails, like the one time Europe lost their brand new $370 million rocket in 1996 on its debut launch just because they got a bit too complacent.
Yeah imagine designing and making the Mars Climate Orbiter, planning a mission years in advance, launch the thing on a 40m rocket, babysit it for 9 months and get almost to Venus just to have it smash on it for a metric vs imperial error on the final correction course... plus you wasted over twice as costly that the one on the video. Oh and for the Cybertruck bit I was surprised to not hear the fact the og frunk would crush your fingers if you leave them on the wrong spot while it was closing, since it's safety sensor was so badly calibrated it wouldn't stop even on hard vegetables and things like that... well seems like nowadays it's more of a "launch now and fix it later" vibe for both products and software.
@@simplicityd8703 also in his “Mac vs windows, who wins in 2023?” He changed the title to “Mac vs windows, who wins in 2024” even though in one of his recent videos he criticized people who change the year in their titles from 2023 to 2024 for more clicks even though the info is outdated

"And now, you can...lose all trust entirely in the ability of big companies to actually look after you." HAHAHAHAHA brilliant. The serious tone had me thinking "WTF!?" until I realized that had to be sarcasm.
The lighting around him in that part looks off compared to the room, so it is probably a green screen to illustrate the product, but it'd still be a good thing if he and Dhrisha were there.
Worked at a newspaper during the crowdstrike crisis, our IT department came in at 6 am and had to figure out how to be able to restart and load backups so we could recieve our data for everything. they worked 12+ hours and only got the most vital devices back online.
I don't know if there's been a documentary/biopic made on the Morris Worm, but if not, one should DEFINITELY be made. I thought that was such a fascinating story, and I could see it being a commercial hit, if done righr
Another serious problem about y2k, was February 29. According to Gregorian calendar, february takes 29 days for each 4 years. If year can be divided to 100, February takes 28. But many computer scientists didn't know that there is third rule: If year can be divided to 400, February takes 29 again. The year 2000 was appropriate for third rule and many computer system didn't accept February 29, 2000 as a real date.

22:00 I was one of the technicians who had to fix computers from the crowdstrike outage at a university, we had over 600 machines down that all had to be fixed manually in-person, RIP to any companies who outsourced their IT to cut costs

Yep, a lawsuit should happen. Amazon not only refused to take it down, but they were the reason they went bankrupt. The potential loss for Amazon could be in the 50 to 100 million.
Are you talking about the Thing with whistlingdiesel? If so, that happened because he slammed the truck on the frame, causing it to get heavily damaged, and thus the tow hook being snapped off easily
@@Speedy11214The thing is, it should have never been able to “snapped” like that. The Cybertruck frame was made from aluminum instead of steel. The difference is that when they reach their ultimate tensile stresses (stress high enough to break the material), steel bends, but aluminum breaks. That is an extreme safety hazard when your car parts don’t act ductilely and breaks off instead. No matter the harsh usage, the material choice was wrong for the use case of the product in the first place.
@@JirunoGiovanna Actually, the primary material of the Cybertruck’s frame is steel. The aluminium part is the crumple zone designed to break easily for impact force dissipation, critical for safety.
OLPC also had the problems that the first wave of recipients were using them to look at a certain cinematographic genre (hence the joke that OLPC meant One Lapdance Per Child), and that it came out just as the smartphone era hit, making OLPC superfluous.
Except almost all of what he said about the rabbit is no longer true. It would be nice if he actually researched the current state before trashing something. At launch it was a bit of a mess because it was a device aimed at early adopters and any smart consumer that purchased this would have understood that. But now, less than 6 months and many releases and updates later, the device has it's LAM in beta, can do all the things people complained about it not doing - like alarms, reminders, etc., had it's battery life greatly extended to several days, has had security issues addressed in a way that is agreeable to most security professionals. In fact it's likely way more secure than the robot vacuums in many people's houses that are able to literally spy on them while they're on the toilet. As for it being an app, the whole point is a device that keeps you from pulling out your phone to dig through a bunch of apps to do stuff. The biggest problem with cell phones is you pull them out of your pocket to get one thing done and end up getting lost in a sea of notifications from facebook, youtube, reddit, emails, news updates, text messages, etc., etc., etc.. With the rabbit, when I pick it up to get something done, you get exactly that done with no distractions. Not to mention that the phone app thing no longer works (again - he should research before shaming) and the way much of the more advanced features like the LAM are architected actually prevent it from running on a typical mobile device. What bothers me about this is so many reviewers have no ethics when reporting this kind of stuff and completely ignore things that are problematic with rabbit - like the sustainability of the business model. Instead it's "lol - nothing works because I only looked at it when I pulled it out of the box on day one". I generally enjoy his content, but if you're going to call something a fail, make sure it's actually still failed. They made 10 million before launch, they've provided much of what they've promised in only a few months and are working on delivering the rest. I'd say that's pretty good for a company that doesn't ask for a subscription.

@@asubscriber7386 You're obvious not a genius. I can remember the Y2K clearly, and I'm not even 40.
As someone who works in IT, I can safely say the crowdstrike incident was an absolute headache. Though, booting into safe mode and deleting the update files is an easy process, guiding people through that process was a whole other issue. I'm happy to say those days are behind us.
I feel you. I work in IT, too. On that day I checked some industry news, had 15 minutes of intense stress, and then I found out that we were not affected. I can't imagined how it must have felt to have that stress stretched over days

I worked for a major credit card company (1983-2009) and yes, the Y2K event entailed a major effort across the board. Thankfully, there were no issues on New Year's Day - but it definitely was NOT a false alarm.
Edit: And guess where we spent New Year's Eve. 😁
I'm surprised he didn't mention the Happy New Year virus. That wiped out the computers of the company I worked for.

Y2K was a wake up call to all software developers to be less negligent towards the future, and be more aware of similar upcoming problems, such as the 2038 Unix timestamp problem, to fix them far enough in advance (pretty much all modern software is already patched for Y2K38 by this point) such that there won't need to be so much panic at the last minute.

I remember buying my first laptop when I was 12 in 1999, EVERY system in CompUSA had a "Y2K TESTED" sticker lol.
You're taking me back to nostalgia land.
A friend worked in IT for Sears back in the 80’s. They realized that on multiple spots on every invoice, the date was being printed. With the considerable amount of paperwork they processed, they were able to realize a sizeable savings in paper, type ribbons, and time, by eliminating those 2 digits. He believed that they were the first company to come up with this solution, and to implement it. Since he passed away a few years ago, I can no longer get confirmation of this, but he found it immensely funny that as a consultant in 1999 he made way more money correcting the situation, than he did in creating it in the first place.

When I was in school (I'm from Uruguay) we had those XO laptops and they were great, I guess at that time we being kids didn't noticed or cared about it being "bad" because for most of us it was out first laptop ever.
That was the point, really. A lot of the reasons it failed was because of the western press just looking for problems with it, because that's how the media works in much of the world. The media are brilliant at running nice things. The British media as especially good at it lol.
Would you rather have that laptop or something else like infracture for better school systems, better clean water pipes etc?

I remember New Year’s Eve 1999. I was 17 and was at a raging party. It was until about a minute to midnight, when everyone in the room turned to the huge 60 inch box, tv and held their breath because we thought that, as soon as it hit midnight, the power was going to go out planes were gonna fall out of the sky. Cars were going to stop working. I remember people being frantic about nuclear war breaking out so the room of boisterous teenagers turned into white knuckled, mouth breathers right up until midnight, everyone with their eyes bulging, expecting the worst and it was about five seconds after the new years ball finally fell, and no catastrophic things happened that you could feel the relief in the room. It was that sort of tension that was so thick you could cut it with a knife.

Ooh, looks like Siri had some competition with the Mcdonalds AI
Just a major correction towards the end. Governments didn't fix anything in particular for Y2K. Private individuals, companies did. As a matter of fact it was companies who fixed the computers of which government agencies were using.
YESSS THE BEST SERIES IS BACK!
Ikr!!!
Similar to the Y2K problem, Tech companies are now working on fixing the Y2038 problem which might also cause computers to think they are in the past, this is due to how computers are designed to store the date and time in a signed 32-bit variable which will overflow in 2038. It's a very interesting concept.
So essentially, this bug will keep happening in different years?
@@Verander369 you'd think that but the main solution for the Y2038 problem is to use a 64-bit variable instead of 32-bit which will last us another 290 billion years, which is 20 times greater than the age of the universe.
@@Verander369y2k was because many computers used only 2 digits for year instead of 4, so when the century loops over it would think it’s 1900 again. Y238 is because the popular time data format called Unix time counts the number of seconds that has passed since 1/1/1970 and when it overflows the 32 bit integer limit it will go to negative 2 billion or something and then computers will think it’s 1930 or something I forgot. But I think it’s silly that it’s a signed integer because you can just make it unsigned to add another 60 years to its lifespan.
@@Jwellsuhhuhyou can't just "make it unsigned", that's not what the timestamp is. The point is that it's signed to allow for dates before 1970
@@Jwellsuhhuh UNIX isn't a time format, it's an operating system developed by Bell Labs.

You should have added the mars probe where the US used imperial measurements when they had been given metric so it crashed into the surface. I still remember the old 'Y2K compliant' stickers on computers lol.
Spaceflight has so many embarrassing fails, like the one time Europe lost their brand new $370 million rocket in 1996 on its debut launch just because they got a bit too complacent.
@@titan401CT Ariane 5? that was cos they used an Ariane 4 guidance computer instead of making a proper new one.
the stickers are a core memory you just unlocked ahahah.
Yeah imagine designing and making the Mars Climate Orbiter, planning a mission years in advance, launch the thing on a 40m rocket, babysit it for 9 months and get almost to Venus just to have it smash on it for a metric vs imperial error on the final correction course... plus you wasted over twice as costly that the one on the video.
Oh and for the Cybertruck bit I was surprised to not hear the fact the og frunk would crush your fingers if you leave them on the wrong spot while it was closing, since it's safety sensor was so badly calibrated it wouldn't stop even on hard vegetables and things like that... well seems like nowadays it's more of a "launch now and fix it later" vibe for both products and software.

Another serious problem about y2k, was February 29. According to Gregorian calendar, february takes 29 days for each 4 years. If year can be divided to 100, February takes 28. But many computer scientists didn't know that there is third rule: If year can be divided to 400, February takes 29 again. The year 2000 was appropriate for third rule and many computer system didn't accept February 29, 2000 as a real date.

He is a tech guy
Are you talking about the Thing with whistlingdiesel? If so, that happened because he slammed the truck on the frame, causing it to get heavily damaged, and thus the tow hook being snapped off easily
@@Speedy11214 I think everyone knows that
@@Speedy11214The thing is, it should have never been able to “snapped” like that.
The Cybertruck frame was made from aluminum instead of steel. The difference is that when they reach their ultimate tensile stresses (stress high enough to break the material), steel bends, but aluminum breaks. That is an extreme safety hazard when your car parts don’t act ductilely and breaks off instead.
No matter the harsh usage, the material choice was wrong for the use case of the product in the first place.
@@JirunoGiovanna Actually, the primary material of the Cybertruck’s frame is steel. The aluminium part is the crumple zone designed to break easily for impact force dissipation, critical for safety.

7:50 failure rabbit hole
Not wrong there
Except almost all of what he said about the rabbit is no longer true. It would be nice if he actually researched the current state before trashing something. At launch it was a bit of a mess because it was a device aimed at early adopters and any smart consumer that purchased this would have understood that. But now, less than 6 months and many releases and updates later, the device has it's LAM in beta, can do all the things people complained about it not doing - like alarms, reminders, etc., had it's battery life greatly extended to several days, has had security issues addressed in a way that is agreeable to most security professionals. In fact it's likely way more secure than the robot vacuums in many people's houses that are able to literally spy on them while they're on the toilet.
As for it being an app, the whole point is a device that keeps you from pulling out your phone to dig through a bunch of apps to do stuff. The biggest problem with cell phones is you pull them out of your pocket to get one thing done and end up getting lost in a sea of notifications from facebook, youtube, reddit, emails, news updates, text messages, etc., etc., etc.. With the rabbit, when I pick it up to get something done, you get exactly that done with no distractions. Not to mention that the phone app thing no longer works (again - he should research before shaming) and the way much of the more advanced features like the LAM are architected actually prevent it from running on a typical mobile device.
What bothers me about this is so many reviewers have no ethics when reporting this kind of stuff and completely ignore things that are problematic with rabbit - like the sustainability of the business model. Instead it's "lol - nothing works because I only looked at it when I pulled it out of the box on day one".
I generally enjoy his content, but if you're going to call something a fail, make sure it's actually still failed. They made 10 million before launch, they've provided much of what they've promised in only a few months and are working on delivering the rest. I'd say that's pretty good for a company that doesn't ask for a subscription.
