Modula-2 was born into a time when 8-bit char sets with upper- and lowercase letters were common place but syntax highlighting was still not common. This caused the language to be designed with uppercase keywords because it really makes the

That reminds me of a specific (de)motivational video of one of my favorite comedians Masood Boomgaard, which specifically covers the rat race that prevails in todays workplace culture. While it's meant to be funny, it actually touches

Some devices with 13th gen Intel processors support in-band ECC. This basically hides a fraction of RAM from the OS and uses it for ECC. Example devices are: LattePanda Sigma [0] and AsRock Industrial NUCS BOX-1360P [1]. Unfortunately they

Recently I wiped the contents of the Trusted Platform Module of a laptop. Now the laptop failed to boot as the Bitlocker key was not stored in the TPM anymore. To my surprise it was possible to get a code from Microsoft to access the laptop

I tend to disagree on this one. It surely helps to enter the market with a top notch production team in the background or investing a lot of time into your videos. However, I've seen enough people babbling into a 720p web cam already h

Yes, you're correct. I mean, what do I loose? 2 to 3 hours per week, half of it for editing? Some $$ for equipment? If I get some 1k subscribers, it's already worth the ongoing effort. If not I can still drop it and look out for a

Are these revenue estimations given out by the platform realistic? If the revenue numbers are right, I'm strongly considering opening my own Youtube channel. Edit: And if the numbers are right, why are so many mid-sized creators beggin
