There are quite a few pieces of software that have 2 different branding. For instance the windows file searcher agent ransack also goes by “file locator pro” to keep from scaring the corpos.
They literally try and positively review bazzite in the linked video.
If his teasers are to be believed thats what he does for the second installment of this.
I think the purpose of the video is to review who you can just tell to switch to linux and have them be able to do it unassisted in a short time frame. I think it does a pretty good job of showing that, the type of person linus was emulating represents a pretty large group of people and they generally can’t switch without either a large amount of frustration or a helpful friend. Also keep in mind this is the first in a series not a single video.
I think you are grossly overestimating people’s capabilities if you think anyone can switch to linux with no interactive help. https://xkcd.com/2501/ . “Setting up windows” for most people means swiping the credit card and pressing the power button. They do not care about data collection, and if its slow then they think they should buy the upgraded model.
I also think its funny how many of the people in this thread see this as a negative video, when I think it actually shows things in a very positive light, just a realistic one. I have already had someone switch to linux because of this video.
Windows laptops absolutelly come pre-installed with the drivers compatible with that system.
Also while hit or miss windows update will install graphics drivers (on a slower cadence than direct from.nvidia/amd) even in a fresh windows install. It’s a common pain point for windows update to mistakenly downgrade your drivers.
People are being exposed to something outside their bubble, and are lashing out.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How much do you pay per month to avoid Google / Big Tech?

IDK he might be, he certainly is a dick. but also you don’t usually get to read the whole script (definitely not the final script) before choosing to accept a role, they may only get a scene, maybe just an elevator pitch etc.
And then theres me who can’t understand the words of a song no matter the language.
I am not a doctor, I just find steel interesting. I also prefer leaf to hash. but I think it’s going to take more than 1000C to create the fumes osha is mainly concerned about, which would make the steel yellow with heat, Even for welders it’s the sort of thing that should concern only people who do it professionally. That said you are kinda directly huffing whatever is coming off it (hypothetically of course). If it’s getting red hot, then it might still be having some oxidation, but it probably isn’t getting into your lungs and it probably is going to stay put in the metal, Probably…
If it’s not glowing at all you are definitely good.
Chromium is only dangerous (in reasonable quantities) when its Hexavalent (meaning it has 6 missing electrons). Trivalent chromium (3 missing electrons) is actually essential in trace amounts. Stainless steel has trivalent chromium. Exposure to high temperatures (welding, plasma cutting, maybe grinding) can oxidize it from trivalent to hexavalent but your kitchen utensils aren’t going to be exposed to that. I’m not an expert though to be clear.
Here is a link to the tool that video uses. This isn’t a case of someone compromising an existing smart bulb to do sketchy things, but rather someone installing this bulb covertly in your house and using it for penetration testing. the same could be accomplished by an arduino in the bushes or a guy with a white van out front.
Also most smart bulbs use zigbee or zwave not wifi. The hub could be hacked i guess, but I have mine setup to only be accessible on the local network.
On private trackers thats pretty typical in my experience, if you’re getting that on public trackers and you see there are peers then you might not have port forwarding set up correctly.

it only continues to work, if money enters the game continually.
If i invest in a company, they take that money and at least theoretically make something other people want and turn your money into more money. Periodically all the investors vote on whether they put that money back into the business and try to make MORE money or to split it up and give everyone some cash (dividends). The thought of that potential dividend payout makes people excited and makes the value of having access to that payout go up, and so people that no longer want to wait can sell their shares, making money and leave the system. In this way everyone can win, and everyone can continue with the same belief in the stocks future. the customer get something in exchange for their money, the company gets to grow, the cashing out investor gets money and the new investor gets an opportunity for eventually dividends or to cash out themselves.
Bitcoin doesn’t work like this, there are no dividends at the end of day. OC got 8k from people who believed the market would go up. If both parties agreed with bitcoins trajectory then a transaction would not take place. In this case OC lost and the other investors won, but if OC and everyone like him had known bitcoin would go up then paradoxically bitcoins value would go down since no one could realize its value. Bitcoin will always yoyo forever siphoning money from those with less market knowledge to those with more market knowledge (or ability to manipulate it) until there aren’t enough people in it anymore. They aren’t making money, just moving it around.

This is probably paranoid, but a picture of a key is enough information for someone to clone your key fairly easily, probably not the car keys, but definitely what I assume are your house keys.
Its what you wear on cloudy days. The sun is not out so the guns do not need to be out.
