(this is really what happened) CrowdStrike: we updated a regex so there was 20 args instead of 21 args week goes by CrowdStrike: we updated a template that required the 21 args not 20 args and it crashed

It's a true statement. A psychologist may have studied for many years but they don't have a medical degree nor can they prescribe or even recommend medication. They literally are merely someone you can talk to. Name one thing beyond talking which they can do for a patient? Not all Phd's are equal and the vast majority of Psychology graduates fail to find employment in the field, let alone one with direct one-on-one patients. It is what it is.

I used a 3 strike rule. I gave everyone the benefit of doubt as it's possible some had signed an agreement prior to the scandal or were unaware of it. What i noticed is that for any of the channels that did an ad read for them after the scandal, there was overwhelming backlash in the comments.. so much so that if they truly weren't aware prior they absolutely would be after as it would dominate the top comments.. thankfully none even reached 2 strikes. If there are channels you miss, perhaps consider giving them a second chance as it seems at least some were honest mishaps.. however i respect that some people will view it like cheating in a relationship, ie once is unforgivable. ✌️

@katrinabryce it was literally a null pointer exception -the template update required that 21st arg to be pointing somewhere, it wasn't. Whilst the null pointer was caused by a poor regex pattern this time, it was ultimately human error not a regex or kernel bug.

@redkellbell6169 wtf does that have to do with BH? If you consider that reply as "telling off" i'd hazard a guess that subscriber was you. Don't get me wrong, those gaming sponsers were definitely out of place and off brand for her.. i know exactly what you are talking about but holy cow, that paraphrased response was polite and informative. Throwing shade at an unrelated channel on an unrelated topic for that response is incredibly hypocritical and far more egregious than an ad read for shadow legends. You must be wonderful in real life 😂

Exactly, a better way to look at this is: Lets say you have a company with $1500 in the bank. You hire your mate to represent the company, he agrees to work for an hourly fee. A week before the deal is finalized your friend invoices you for $150 for hours worked. Then 10 minutes before you hand the keys over to the new owner, you decide to pay your friend $900 as a bonus, thus leaving only $450 in the bank account instead of $1350 This has no impact on shareholders, as the buyer was unaware of the $900 bonus - it was not part of the original agreement when you hired your friend. It does however impact the buyer as when you handed over the keys the bank account is part of that. It would be like selling someone a car, they take it for a test drive and right before you hand over the keys you remove the tyres, stereo and seats. My bet is the law firm will settle (ie it'll go in Musk's favour) but had the success fee been part of the original agreement. It would set a bad precedent for future acquisitions if a judge ruled in the law firm's favour - it'd open the door for every other law firm to do the same going forward. They got greedy just like the execs.

Microsoft's strategy isn't to "win" any particular market, such as selling the most consoles or having the top selling game.. it's about having as many customers as possible - whether it's xbox, windows, office, outlook, azure etc. More specifically it's not even focused on raw sales but rather an ongoing revenue streams from said customers - in layman terms subscribers/subscriptions. At the end of the day it's about making money, they don't care whether you play on xbox or PC or yes, even Playstation or Steam.. a customer is a customer. What better way to stick it to Sony than making money from selling games on the Playstation network? Think of it this way... do you know any gamers who purely only have a PS5 - by that i mean they don't also play on PC or Xbox or Nintendo but exclusively play on PS5? Now flip it around, how many gamers DON'T have or play games via a Microsoft product - so by that i mean windows on PC, Xbox console, mobile device or even xCloud? A customer is a customer, even if you only make a few dollars a year from that customer, they are still a customer and add revenue to the bottom line. That's why they have gone the opposite way in terms of exclusives, they WANT those gamers who exclusively play on PS5 as a customer. Likewise for why crossplay is now a thing welcomed by Xbox, rather than all these silos (eg if you have a ps5 you'll only be playing with other ps5 ppl) the Microsoft approach is now the opposite.. let ppl on any platform play together. I'd hazard a guess that soon new Activision/Blizzard releases will let PS5 people play with PC and Xbox - Sony will fight it tooth n nail but it'll happen eventually. Exclusivity isn't a good thing for anyone but the company/thing that it's exclusive to.. i mean heck just look up the definition of exclusive! This video seems to be looking at it from a zero sum game perspective, that someone who buys a PS5 is a loss for Microsoft as many of them won't buy an Xbox too. Sure, most won't but if they gain those people as a customer via another channel then the number of PS5 sales isn't a threat or concern to Microsoft - it may even be a good thing if they can tap into that customer base.. hence the acquisitions of Bethesda/Activision/etc. Was never about taking them away from Sony but just the opposite.. getting into Sony's pants and it's working. Microsoft are playing chess whilst Sony and Nintendo are playing checkers... the easiest way to see this is what is their year-on-year growth for profit in ANY market, positive or negative? The amount of profit just Gamepass alone is making is staggering...

@ToyokaX who said drugs were? Ask a psychologist what the basal ganglia is and most of them will have no clue off the top of their head. Psychologists have a purpose and place in the world, especially as seeing a psychiatrist would be overkill for mamy minor issues, but medical professionals they are not. All a psychologist can do is talk to you, for anything else you'll be referred to a psychiatrist or GP, it is what it is.

@corbeaudejugement a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D or D.Psych) is not a medical degree nor does it make someone a medical doctor (MD). You should be ashamed of even implying such nonsense.

@bccsivxx-xxivvii am curious was it those fake Japanese ones? Hand made using traditional samurai sword techniques developed centuries ago... (but made in China 😂) I almost had the same experience but thankfully did a quick search, they were very crafty with the wording and caught a lot of ppl i think.. on the upside hopefully the content creator got a cut 🥴

@sumomaster5585 Phil Spencer and Satya Nadella have stated as much during various interviews.. it's not like i have a concise list but as a start look for an article on forbes titled Microsoft: We’re Not Trying To Sell More Consoles Than Sony And The PS5, We’re Doing Something Else

It's a true statement. A psychologist may have spent years at university getting a degree, but they are still merely a person you can talk to. They have absolutely no medical training or certification. There's a reason psychology majors are the butt of many jokes in acadamia. It's ironic how sensitive Psychology graduates and students are about this.. you'd think they would have better control of their emotions 😉

@MegaBanne well it's clear you haven't watched legal eagles video yet by what you wrote in the 1st paragraph, then in the 2nd it's clear you have a secret crush on Musk, calling him names and your desires for punishing him... it would be very rude of me to not allow you to finish. My ears apologize for ignoring you earlier, they await your sentencing and punishment in furry dungeon #4

@MegaBanne unless of course you wish to actually respond to something i've written.. otherwise i thought spewing random stuff was the game you wanted to play? Am just trying to be nice, you seem to have some unresolved issues and playing might cheer you up! 🥰

@corbeaudejugement when you said "except a psychology degree is a medical degree" No, it is not. An enrolled nurse has more medical training and certification than a Psychology graduate with a masters degree.

I can't wait for the day when you turn up to the office and everyone is sitting there tapping away on their phones ... or wearing VR headsets and waving their arms around writing emsils 😛

@MegaBanne you haven't watched the legal eagle video yet have you? Oh wait, where are my manners. Please continue you were saying something that guy living rent free in your head? Watching the video can wait, I'm all ears.. vent away! 🤗

@Ellman1231 @Ellman1231 no not at all, to be clear psychology is very much a respected field and not pseudo-science. Personally when i think of psychology, the arm involving therapy is not at the forefront, it would be things like psychometric tests, marketing techniques, coaching etc - basically all the business related aspects. Secondary to this would then be the academic or theory side - things like the Trolley Problem, Stanford Prison Experiment etc. It's a wide field and talk therapy is only a small piece of the pie, much like medical isn't just doctors and drugs. It's ironic how often people with a psychology degree are the ones who react childishly and have behavioural issues. Just look at this thread, it's not hard to spot them... "I stopped listening" - i can't help but picture a child with there fingers in their ear going lalalalal i can't hear you 🤣

Both are ambiguous however one is authoritarian and the other libertarian, it's a subtle but intentional change by Alphabet leadership. Doing evil things is acceptable for the right thing, now... ...and will cause their demise (eventually)

@corbeaudejugement i said you should be ashamed, for your own sake. Attempting to correct someone with a technicality whilst simultaneously getting it technically wrong and then trying to back pedal is a fairly embarrassing thing to do. So much so it was worth pointing out and having a chuckle. If that's your definition of "throwing a fit" you must not get out very much. Better luck next time champ.

A decade ago the buzzword was "cloud" and at the time it was pretty clear who worked in the industry and who didnt by how and when they used this term. I see the same thing with "AI" as yet again it's mainly just a marketing term for the masses. It's also an easy way to sort of differentiate ppl who actually understand the nuts n bolts to those who are just jumping on the bandwagon - if someone liberally uses the term AI and not ML or LLM then i take what they say with a grain of salt. Those in the know understand that machine learning and large language models by themselves are capable of doing nothing.. they are merely tools and are only ad useful as what/who taught it and using what data. Just like the "cloud" is merely a snazzy word "someone elses servers and datacentre" the term "AI" is merely "predictions based on a large dataset"

Use aluminium foil tape if you're paranoid, a roll of it should be a few dollars at any hardware or automotive shop. If you want something a little more discrete, yknow those "well done" or "excellent" stickers teachers will use when marking student work.. go to a stationary shop and get ones with a metallic or glitter type layer. If you actually need to use your camera occasionally, you can buy these very flat slider covers which attaches just like tape but lets you slide the cover sideways to open/close. Don't forget the microphone hole too 😉

@Ellman1231 where did i say "just taking" exactly?

Are you recording the audio off camera then lip-syncing for some parts? For the most part i like the recent adjustments to videos, such as not having so many title/chapter screens and calmer voice.. but personally i think you're cutting to your headshot too often... and don't lip sync, ruins the authenticity and awkward visually, sort of like advertisements from another country that get re-dubbed with a local voice/accent.. it almost always has the opposite effect. Other than that i think you've got nothing to worry about re being on camera.. you're a decent looking dude with ordinary facial expressions and body language etc just don't over do it n you'll he fine #nohomo 😛

Me! I think Musk is a genius. He's not perfect, nobody is, nor do i think he can do no wrong - i think the X branding for example is very premature - but his goals are not centered around money. This shouldn't be misconstrued that money isn't important to him, it is, but it's a means to an end in order to do the things he wants to do. He didn't buy Twitter for the sole purpose of making profit. Or because he simply likes to post memes. Just like SpaceX wasn't started for the sole purpose of making profit, but rather get the human race to mars. That goal hinges on making space travel more economical. NASA, Blue Origin and Virgin all thought they could do better... but have they? Believe it or not there are people in the world who have ambitions beyond being wealthy or famous. Most people would struggle running just a single successful company.. Musk is doing several simultaneously and still has time to sh1tpost and play Diablo. You don't have to be a genius to recognize a genius, but you have to be pretty dumb to think Musk could've gotten to where he is now by not being one. Riddle me this, which living person do you view as being a genius? Don't be shy now, you're not a coward right?

lolwot? The full name is "Board of Directors" The chair is the head of the board, non-executive directors are above executive directors, which in turn are above the C-suite. If a company has an executive director, say a managing director, they attend board meetings and then instructs the CEO. A non-executive director is typically hands off for the internal day-to-day tasks but ultimately has final say. When Musk says jump its Yaccarino's job to ask how high. Whether she launches in the air using the left foot, right foot or both feet is up to her though. The corporate world is not what you think 😂

@alimfuzzy lol you pasted a blurb from wiki about lowest form of a director within a company? What type of director do you think Musk is in reference to Twitter? I've not only worked for several large publicly traded companies but also a shareholder of one of them. You ever been to an AGM? Do you even know what that is without having to look it up? Since you like copy pasting from wikipedia here is one for you, ill even give you the URL (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Board_of_directors) because unlike you i actually don't need to obscure or skew the truth to save face: Typical duties of boards of directors include:[5][6] Governing the organization by establishing broad policies and setting out strategic objectives Selecting, appointing, supporting and reviewing the performance of the chief executive (of which the titles vary from organization to organization; the chief executive may be titled chief executive officer, president or executive director) Terminating the chief executive Ensuring the availability of adequate financial resources Approving annual budgets Accounting to the stakeholders for the organization's performance Setting the salaries, compensation and benefits of senior management
1
@alimfuzzy oh and here is a cut/paste from the wikipedia page ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Director_(business) ) you used.. funny how you very carefully selected the part you did whilst ignoring the rest of the page eh?? It's clear to me you've only ever worked for a small business and not a large publicly traded company. Would love to see you explain to how a non executive director of a company isn't involved in the board. It'd be like saying the coach of a football team has very little to do with what players are on the field and their position 😂 -- Larger businesses and organizations will form a clear board structure as the following: Chairman - This particular role within the company is often a non executive role that also has the task of overseeing the entire business or organization. Managing Director (MD)[4] - A managing director is employed by the business, often by the chairman. Other roles include running the business and producing salaries. The managing director works along with the board of directors and oversees the performance of the business, thus reporting back to the chairman. Executive Directors - A group of executive directors who each play a significant role within the company. They maintain full responsibility over their respective departments such as Finance, Marketing and Sales. Each director manages their department ensuring that tasks and objectives are being met. Executive directors also sit on the board. Non-executive directors - These advise the business by proposing different forms of strategy and also decide remuneration of the executive directors. Having a clear structure within the business has a positive impact on the employees and it also helps to organize the business. By having a team of executive directors, employees can report to their executive directors if a problem or an issue occurs.[5]

@alimfuzzy executive, non executive, managing are all part of the board. That's literally why they have the title of Director rather than Chief. Saying a director doesn't have the info the board does makes no sense, they ARE the board. It's the C-suite who wouldn't, ie CFO CTO COO etc.
1
@alimfuzzy also an "associate director" is not an actual director, just like a deputy sheriff is not an actual sheriff.. a vice president is not an actual president etc. Hence why pasting the section of the wikipedia page referring to the context of an associate director was not the win you thought it was 😉

@alimfuzzy thanks for the kind remarks and have a wonderful day! 🥰

@alimfuzzy youtube seems to he filtering the link but Martha Lane Fox, the o m f g lady you referenced joined Twitters board in 2016

@alimfuzzy in a publicly listed company they are, you only don't care upon the revelation she was on the board. I wish you the best of luck in your future business endeavours 😘

@alimfuzzy are you South African? Do you honestly believe that South African laws, of all the countries in the world to pick, would be even close to the applicable laws for a publicly listed company in the US such as Twitter? Have you figured out what an AGM is yet?! It's pertinent to the topic at hand not some random question. Do you know what the requirements are for adding and removing directors of a company that is publicly listed on one of the US stock exchanges are? You really are adorable in the amount of effort you're going to, South Africa of all the places... Utterly hilarious! I love it! I can't stop laughing at that 😂 Thanks buddy, i'm genuinely sitting here with a massive smile on my face 🥰🤗

@sumomaster5585 not to mention it's essentially the companies current mission statement: " Microsofts Corporate Mission Statement. Microsofts corporate mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. This mission statement shows that the business is all about empowerment of people and organizations. Such empowerment is achieved through the utility of the companys computing products. " Which is corporate speak for we aim for every person and corporation in the world to be a customer

@JonVinci im going to be nice Felix and offer you some olive branches to choose from. Now the best outcome would be for our entire conversation to disappear as if we both had never sent each other any replies. But i'll be generous by exempting your very first one to me from the deal. Deal? Yep, i'll remove all of mine to you if you do vice versa. Now you might be thinking yeah right, you can't trust me, which you'd be right, there is a risk and as a gesture of good will i'm going remove the most scathing ones first. Now you absolutely don't have to remove any yourself, you could be tempted to take my good will gesture and spit in my face.. and that's okay. I'm willing to make that sacrifice for your benefit, weird thing to do i know but we have differing principles. I have hopes that your narcissism isn't too severe and that when i check back i'll be removing the rest of mine but let's see hey? What happens next is up to you and heres your chance to prove who you are buddy!

@KyleOFlynn a "degree" is also a measurement of temperature. Context and wording matter, psychology is not a medical degree.

@KyleOFlynn Psychology is a social science. You should be even more ashamed of yourself than that other guy above.

@WhalesArePeopleToo in Australia, a Psychiatrist can have you involuntarily committed to a psych ward - because they have the necessary medical training to be qualified medical practitioners that are legally permitted and in certain situations required to do so. A Psychologist does not. If an ambulance has just picked up a manic patient you know who that patient is going to be taken to for assessment? A psychiatrist in a hospital. Where are they definitely not going to be taken? To a psychologist in an office building. There is far more to it than just prescribing medication. It's truly worrying so many people are attempting to speak on a subject matter they clearly know very little about and conflating psychologists as being even remotely close to medical specialists is absurd. No one with a psychology degree would be making these claims as they are well aware they do not have a medical qualification.

Don't change dude, i don't watch every video.. i probably only watch 1 in 10.. but reason i do keep clicking is cause i know what i'm in for when i do. However also don't be too worried about not doing sponsorships, long as it's a product/service you genuinely believe in i think u can safely start making some bank! 🤑 Please no shadow waid wegends tho, no matter how much u love it, just no.

@MegaBanne uh huh and remind me again why are you replying to me specifically with all that unrelated information in this thread, repeatedly and still haven't watched legal eagles video? Do you need a hand performing a search for "legal eagle twitter" in youtube, or maybe you would like a link pasted? Or do you have some more venting about that guy living rent free in your head? My ears are here for you, but i gotta be honest, my heart just isn't.. i think it's allergic to hatred or something but i dunno i'm not a doctor 🙃
1
@MegaBanne and in summary, you believe Musk made the Twitter board pay the law firm 90 million dollars 10 minutes before the deal was settle because Checks notes You think he's an idiot and deserves it? That's your hot take, specifically in response to my original message, have i missed any key points? You're happy with this, can i lock it in as your final answer or would you like to perhaps watch legal eagles video first? I know you're a busy person running around serving hot takes to strangers so i don't want to take up any more of your valuable time.. you've provided a wealth of information and a very reasonable in-depth response, don't be afraid to take a break. Put ya feet up for a few minutes, you must be exhausted...
1
@MegaBanne right, so you'll be able to answer what word all the lawyers would be shouting at the screen in reference to consideration then? I'll even help narrow it down, since again i know you must be very busy running about dishing out hot takes, it's after the 11 minute mark and starts with the letter P 🍾 We can even play hangman as a bit of fun too, yknow lightening the mood, have a laugh. So right now its: P_______ What is your first guess? 🤔

@rickydinto if the original contract with the law firm, which the bulk of it's business is based on handling these exact type of deals, had the success fee written into it i would agree... however it did not. There is the letter of the law and the spirit of the law, altering the contract to include the success fee on the day it became clear it would be finalized and making payment in the last hour before handing over the keys won't pass the sniff test to the judge imo. LegalEagle hates Musk so when even he has to couch his words and bring in another lawyer to give the biased opinion he wants to for his narrative but knows would come back to bite him that suggests to me he's not as confident as portrayed. What the law firm did was hella dodge and anyone denying this is either biased and/or disingenuous. The main reason i think it won't go in the law firms favour is the precedent it would set - it essentially would mean any future firms could legally do the same thing and judges are very mindful of not just the outcome of the case in front of them, but the impact the ruling will have in future. I'd wager money it'll be settled out of court, but we shall see. You obviously have a different opinion and that's fine, i'm not going to argue with you. Only time will tell, if we ever hear about it again...

@floreroafloreril1458 trying to cancel the deal is justification for the original owner to remove the cars tyres, stereo and seats? Mmmmkay...
1
@floreroafloreril1458 what clients would the seller have potentially lost money from?! The seller hiring lawyers is on them, the seller didn't win at trial but even if they did and were awarded legal costs, the seller doesn't get to arbitrarily decide on the amount and how the lawyers get paid, that would be on the court and buyer respectively. This hypothetical makes no sense, you don't seem to have a firm grasp on the situation or the analogy

Think again, there are ppl with foot fetishes that pay to watch girls moosh food with their toes. Not long ago there was a report about a group in the Phillipines or Thailand (cant remb which exactly) selling access to hacked security and webcams. They even had different tiers of access to purchase. The world has all sorts of weirdos 😂
