First Google hit from Esquire. Hosted on “hearstapps” which is owned by Hearst, a major media company.

I’m literally talking about news articles, though, who are hosting their own images.

That checks out for Scotland.

The Alberta Rat Wars

Shit, I was just looking at massgrave the other day, didn’t realize they had direct links. Thanks a bunch.

Little strong,

I want to agree with you but the South Park IP is worth $1 billion and they made an absolute truckload of money selling the streaming rights to HBO/Paramount because in 1997 they included a clause in their contract that gives them 50% profits from “any non-television broadcast sources.” In other words: streaming. Every stream Matt and Trey are getting fully half the money. They’re literally fucking milking the living shit out of it.

Viacom briefly attempted to argue their way out of the clause, but in the end, Parker and Stone were successful in not only owning a 50% cut of non-broadcast revenue but also in having the right to distribute the show digitally as they saw fit. Once they saw their show being pirated non-stop on YouTube, Matt and Trey decided it would be pointless to fight the pirates, so they put every single episode online for free, earning millions from the digital ad revenue. They really started to cash in with the advent of streaming services like Hulu. When Hulu paid $192 million for 4 years of rights to the back catalogue, Matt and Trey each earned around $50 million. At the time, is was the largest streaming deal in history. In 2019 when the deal was up, HBO Max obtained exclusive streaming rights in a deal that was rumored to be worth $500 million-$550 million.

On August 5, 2021 it was revealed that Matt and Trey had signed a new six-year, $900 million contract with ViacomCBS. Under the deal Matt and Trey will produce six seasons of the show and 14 movies which will be exclusive to streaming service Paramount+.

just gotta know how to grab it from MS.

Be a kind soul and share, please and thank you.

Ah yes, I forgot about the existence of Entrprise edition. I’ve just never dealt with a business that paid for such a thing, I guess.

How are you accomplishing this? Provisioning the PCs to be part of the domain with a Powershell install script during automated setup? Because I was under the impression that this also had become a difficult task with 11. Because a Windows 11 machine doesn’t know it’s going to be part of the domain until it has been added to the domain. So, the only way I can see that working is like Powershell combined with WDS or something.

EDIT: Also, the LTSC version of Windows 11 isn’t coming until later in 2024. So I’m very curious how this works with 11 specifically.

I guess they need a Jewish guy named Yehoshua to flip tables, kick out the moneychangers and whip them.

Yeah that has been entirely removed in the Win 11 initial setup. It does not default to local account.

You literally have to disconnect internet, open a console window, type in oobe/bypassnro and then reboot. Only then will it default to a local account.

Exactly. All these articles on how tech companies are “turning scammy.” No, they were always scammy, it’s just become unavoidably obvious now.

I remember around the same time you dropped FB saying to people that their metrics on targeted ads were undoubtedly inflated. They’ve literally always been feeding the world nothing but bullshit.

EDIT: It’s weird how hard it was to find this image. In a lot of places it shows up as “image not found.” Looks like Zuck has been trying to erase it from the internet.

Man, journalists out here lately just murdering Betteridge .

Good, though. It doesn’t need to be a given.

For sure, a fridge is a really bad one to be using on an actual ungrounded GFCI, exactly for the reason of risk of expired food.

I like my homeserver but if something trips and its offline for a while it’s not gonna ruin my day.

The battery can be recharged eventually unless it’s already be discharged many times or it’s left alone and dead long enough to kill any ability to recharge it.

What chached login? This is talking about a fresh install on a clean (or wiped clean) drive.

Where would this be cached on a brand new PC never connected to the internet?

Yes, you have to unplug ethernet AND do the oobe/bypassnro command and reboot.

1. Install GFCI plugs. ^[1]

2. Buy a small, appropriately sized UPS.

3. Profit?

Disclaimer: Am not actually electrician. Just know this about GFCI from electrician friends and pointing to a decent explainer.

What’s crazy is the cybersecurity teams at big corporations actually hate this because its putting half their security in Microsofts hands. (And their security has been abysmal for a hot minute or more)

Corporations hate this shit too because they want to be using their internal, domain-controlled users, not Microsoft accounts that pass a ton of trade secrets to Microsoft. Is Microsoft training its AI on your trade secrets? Who knows!

So Microsoft is literally killing core competencies not just for end-users, but for businesses, too.

This will convince a lot of businesses the switch to an all Linux internal domain to be worth it, imho.

There’s literally a stream of cartoons with intent to offend as many people as possible. They’re all trash, but let me see how many I can look up real quick starting with dumb shit like Brickleberry or Paradise PD.

Like, literally being as offensive as possible is the entire fucking schtick of Adam Corrolla’s Mr. Birchum, which just came out.

Honestly, the ones that are try-hard offensive fucking fail miserably. There’s a lot of them. Stop pretending that taking risks is all it takes. You also actually have to have a pulse on social issues, which the South Park creators simply no longer do. People can be offensive and not funny. In fact, it’s way easier to just be offensive than it is to be offensive and funny. Most only succeed at being offensive.

Companies want content that enrages people because they know that people get more involved with content they hate than content they love. They absolutely pour money into South Park copycats that try to go “anti-woke.”

When everyone else is trying to appease corporate committees and shareholders

Counterpoint: The money South Park makes by pissing people off directly impacts Comedy Centrals profits. It’s in Comedy Central’s best interest to have South Park be offensive, because attention and engagement is more important in the modern world than whether or not people actually like something. Capital doesn’t give a damn about how they appease corporate committees and shareholders, as long as money is being made: South Park makes money hand-over-fist being offensive. There’s literally been an unending stream of copycat “offensive adult animation” ever since South Park hit the air. They’re emphatically not sticking it to the man. They are the man.

South Park is almost 30 years old. They are the industry. They are still around because they make money. If they actually offended the sensibilities of corporate committees and shareholders, they wouldn’t still be on the fucking air. Both Matt and Trey individually have wealth valued at well over half a billion dollars. Add them both together and you have a billionaire. But sure, they’re still somehow “subversive” with money coming out their fucking ears.
