Yes I agree. The situation at X is still unfolding and when you have a shake up on that scale, it takes years for it to settle. BetterHelp by design is scummy. It targets the most vulnerable of all ages in their most desperate state and data mines them. I have dealt with mental health issues most my life, and the amount of lowlifes that try to scam this community is atrocious and can lead to people harming themselves. Compare that to Elon being an edgelord and some mean tweets, and a bunch of developers that were WAY overpaid for doing nothing compared to other developers in other spaces, you can see why I agree with you.

I can confirm that no insults that got me banned from pretty much every platform over the last 20 years has so far been a problem. I have to give it to him, it doesn't just work for Nazis and fascists, it also works for me and I can call them every name under the sun with no problems.

I love my Zune! also it was not exactly a "carbon copy" of the Ipod video it accepted way more file formats and you can load files into it without having to use Itunes. (or even microsoft zune's software) Also Zune would do way better at reading the meta data of your music and it would have the artist/ song title and even the album art and have everthing sorted in it's appropriate albums seamlessly without the user having to manually do any of that! No more endless lists of "artist unknown" and "untitled" it was actually a better user experience! But all the media could focus on is "this is a ipod copycat how original hur dur!

I had the later model Zune and loved it, might still have it somewhere. And their model of getting to keep X number of songs a month was great too. The UI and all were much better in my opinion than other music players.

The standout feature that Zune had that was way ahead of its time was a subscription music service long before Spotify, Apple Music, or KZread Music. With the iPod, you had to pay for each song on iTunes while the Zune provided an all-you-can-listen approach that every big player in the industry does now.

I can't say anything about Zune since that was out of my price range, but as I didn't by a smartphone until 2014, I've used portable MP3 players from 1995 through to this day. My original go to was the Creative Zen and later the Sandisk Sansa.

Things wrong about the rebranding of Twitter to X are: 1. Bland and generic name. Gets pretty forgettable as most people still prefer saying Twitter instead of X (which I am one of them). 2. The word tweet has less meaning as it is associated with the name and logo of Twitter not X 3. The logo is generic with a lack of creativity and doesn't mean anything.

The amount of shady sponsorships you see on KZread is concerning, a lot of them turn out to be scams or make false claims, especially a group of them from the same broader company including “Established Titles” and “Kamikoto Knives”. Yes KZreadrs just want money but they should do at least a little research into the companies they are sponsored by. The whole “I didn’t know” shouldn’t be a valid excuse, this is something they are promoting to their audience, to get their audience to buy whatever it is, they should have done at least a little research into the companies first. They need to start taking responsibility for the companies they promote. Better help is probably the worst case of this, if it is a scam product then all you lose is money and feel pretty stupid but trusting a site with personal information for them to just lie and sell it is especially scummy.

I find it absolutely horrible I lost a family member in 2021 and I was suffering from grief for like 2 years and I went to a therapist I’m better now I hope better crumbles to the ground

Ok, I had some Amazon Dash Buttons and loved them! While “Subscribe and Save” is good for things that you use very regularly (like I know I need 30 dishwasher pods per month since I run it every night). But for things that I order frequently but not on a consistent schedule, like paper towels or toilet paper, it was great. I had the button mounted in the cabinet where I stored extras. When I grabbed the last roll, I just hit the button.

Regarding the while metaverse topic. The meta implementation if social vr apps failed horribly as you mentioned. But third party social vr spaces like vrchat are flourishing. Meta has the current vr hardware monopoly with 60% of all active vr headsets being either quest 2 or quest 3. They are playing the long game and already established themselves as the main consumer vr headset manufacturer

28:40 "Empty, Dead, Boring and Ugly" sounds like you were describing Mark for a second.

Better Help is TERRIBLE. Not only with this whole selling data thing, but the thing thing as a whole is bad. I want there to be something for people to get better therapy, but there are so many stories of how bad the therapists are who may or may not even be licensed despite the site claiming they are. Im glad to hear someone talking about it and I wish more youtubers would.

I had a zune and I actually quite enjoyed it, grwat for the bus when I was in highschool, I have always hated apple products for proprietary cords, and things like Itunes and basically just everything to do with their OS, but yeah I loved my zune.

The best thing about the Metaverse: Getting a subsidized, affordable Quest 3 with pretty good specs but not having to actually take part in any Metaverse BS. I just play Beat Saber and Pistol Whip and frankly I prefer it over PCVR.

"But if you subscribe to this channel, then you are an instant 10" Does that mean I'm a 10/10 Failure 😂😂

As someone who bought the quest 1, and quest 2, and is about to get the quest 3 I agree with you. Marc isn’t doing anything the vr community wouldn’t be the same if these wonder full game creators didn’t make these fantastic games.

exactly what I was thinking

On the topic of the MCU, a big problem for Disney has been budget bloat on their films through a combination of producers attaching their names to projects, and then not really contributing, and the fact that production is relying heavily on very expensive post production to compensate for a lack of well thought out pre-production. It turns out, constantly re-rendering CGI scenes because the director can't understand the shot composition without all of the effects and lighting . . . Is really really expensive. It used to be that pre-production was the cure to this. Complicated, expensive, shots, were carefully planned out and visualized well in advanced so that effects crews, in particular the old school physical effects crews, thoroughly understood what the shot was going to be like and how they were going to pull it off. The director might not get EXACTLY what they wanted, but it would be good enough to make it work, because hundreds of talented people had a blue print of what they were working towards. We don't do that anymore. To use Quantamania as an example, if the movie was made on a reasonable budget, 473 million would have be respectable box office pull. Adjust for inflation it would be about 10 percent less than what Batman Begins Made on its worldwide release.

In regards to CNN+, another major contributing factor which you did not mention was bad timing. CNNs parent company, Time Warner, was in the process of merging with Discovery. This merger closed just 10 days after CNN+ launched, and it completely changed the leadership at both CNN and Warner. It was this new leadership team that immediately axed it without giving it a chance to find its audience.

When you said betterhelp i started skipping thinking it was an add hahaha

LOL I just got served an advertisement for Better Help during your video!

I loved my 2nd or 3rd gen Zune (whichever the touch screen one was). It had the amazing benefit to not HAVE TO use apple music app for audio files. That's precisely why there was a market for it, for people that weren't one of the sheep in the herd.

The Amazon dash button actually can be useful for things other than ordering items from Amazon. It can be used with IFTTT to trigger custom actions. I used one next to our cat litter box, I set it up to record that the litter was cleaned when pressed, and then to send me a text reminding me to clean the litter if the button hasnt been pressed in the last 5 days.

The zune was actually really good, they just decided supporting their existing music drm service was a bad idea, so they made a new zune store, and nobody wanted to use it, so it failed.

Twitter is just 4chan with microtransactions at this point

16:49, did you called us 10/10 failure 😂

I actually got those tons of those dash buttons near the end of the cycle when they were on sale for $1 but was still refunded the original $5 so I was getting paid to use them. Then on top of that, they actually have a lithium primary AA cell in them that I would then break out of the dash button. These batteries typically cost like $10+ for a pack of 4. I've since moved countries and houses multiple times and still have some of the lithium batteries I keep for high drain items of valuable items I don't want batteries leaking into.

I am not even necessarily a pool party kind of person, but The Coolest Cooler looks like smth I would genuinly buy for the rare times I get together with my family at a campfire, or could go out with friends to drink near the local river. It looks like an actually well-made and well thought-out product that was basically killed by the CEO being either dumb or greedy. I just hope that I can find it somewhere.

Setting up Windows 11 after the copilot update without a Microsoft account requires you to disconnect the PC from the internet by unplugging the Ethernet cable, opening the command prompt during the installation and typing in a specific command so it can finish without an internet connection
