No Company Will Do This Ever - It should go without saying, but don’t give anyone remote access to your computer you don’t know, and don’t ever let anyone do anything to your computer you didn’t ask them to do.
Time Travellers From The Future - A Fun thought experiment that the Paleocene Thermal Maximum could have been caused by a coal-burning civilization as it has some similar markers to the current Anthropocene. I'm going with Steampunk Time Travelers escaping overpopulation.
You Keep Saying That - Cracked rounds up a bunch of phrases you’re probably using wrong. Some of these were likely mangled by laziness others by people not understanding sarcasm.
The YouTube Drama Continues - Considering that one person took demonetizing her channel personally enough to try and kill people, It goes without saying that messing with people’s YouTube channels is a sore spot for many. This problem is that YouTube not only pitched that it was an easy way to upload video, but that it was the easiest way to monetize video. So the people built a business around the model. Now that YouTube wants the big boys and more important the big ad money, and they’re changing the rules. They have all the power, so there isn’t much anyone can do. I am not slagging YouTube for wanting to grow up into the world of Hollywood streaming services; it’s far more lucrative than hosting oddball cartoons and old game reviews. Where they did go wrong is encouraging people to create their business on shifting ground.
