Do you want a list of timestamps of audio skips/hiccups to check? Obviously, if they're in the source, and not some weird KZbin thing, there's nothing you can really do about it, and so far, most of the ones I've noticed either don't cut out speech at all, or leave plenty of speech to infer whatever's missing. They all strike me as some sort of corruption, so far, as the audio skips ahead slightly and a seemingly random tiny blip of audio from somewhere replaces it. Well, glitches and the haunting by a blurry apparition, aside, it's a brilliant video, so far. Hopefully you can get an exorcist 'round to dispel the spirits, eh? And for the record, I'd much rather have a version with weird issues than nothing. It's a bloody intriguing story, and you've clearly put a ton of work in, already.

The Atari VCS tried to fall into the same trap. The person who spearheaded the 'Ataribox' idea initially, made a run for the campaign money. Fortunately, Atari (all two dozen of them) still had a functioning company head who promptly shitcanned him (and the moron in Boulder CO who initiated the hardware design but then tried to kill himself skydiving) and reformatted the product into a competent Ryzen box (thanks to legacy Apple product finishers in San Jose 'SurfaceInk'). Not only am I typing to you on it now (via Ubuntu) but the AtariOS side (of the dual OS configuration) just got it's copy of Atari 50 installed (which supports the paddle controllers combined with the classic controllers). It's done it's job to allow me to test Proton / Linux on Steam before the Steam Deck arrived (2 years after the VCS was released) nicely.

The sole director of Private Planet, Janko Mrsic-Flogel, was a director of Retro Computers from April 2016 to August 2018[40] and also used the Indiegogo crowdfunding platform to raise over US$2.5 million[41] to produce the Gemini (PDA) for Planet Computers Ltd.

@Ed Jack This is a smart thing to do. I'll never understand why anyone even uses those sites tbh, the vast majority of cases - even the most well-funded projects ever (see: "Coolest Cooler") end up having disastrous outcomes, delays, and often never fulfill every claim they make. The issue is that the fundamental concept behind crowdfunding 'ideas' by random people is utterly flawed - how could anyone think it's a good idea for hundreds and thousands of people to give their money willingly to a random person, trusting them to be able to manage the production of a product and a business with no prior experience and nothing except a fucking idea alone? Most 'idea' kickstarters never have a final product, they just show a prototype, and people fund it expecting them to just make more of a perfect prototype or whatever, when in reality the truth is that they have no idea what they're going to run into when they actually began production. For these reasons among others, I think all of these crowdfunding sites are retarded, a perfect platform for incompetent fools and scammers, and anyone who regularly wastes their money on these websites surely has something wrong with them, because so many of the projects funded by these sites are stupid or end up being disastrous like this one.

It's clear that Fogarty objected to the use of his face in the video at the time stamped parts of the original video. There is no way that KZbin would have upheld the complaint because if you search 'Lee Fogarty' in google ( the parent company ) image search then the number one returned image is that exact image of Fogarty's face : Ergo it's already in the public domain. In order to uphold the complaint then Google would have to concede that itself is in violation and remove the image from its database. Clue: It was never going to happen. I'm pleased that Daniel has found a way to return it to his channel though, that's where it deserves to be.

@Trevor Walker Yes, it is now in this edited version. That was the change made to avoid the complaint. It was not blurred in the original. I still believe it was unnecessary as Fogarty's behaviour in the community has brought so much publicity on himself that his image and personal information is all very much in the public domain and a matter of record. You can't claim a violation of privacy when you have spent three years being very public around the very issue of this video. But the man is a clown and throws legal threats around like confetti at a wedding.
@ZootC6 жыл бұрын
@FuturePants This has nothing to do with nationality. If anything the UK laws on libel and slander are the strictest in the world. This was a complaint by a private person to KZbin. The complaint was not considered because the person making the video folded like a cheap napkin and did not have the courage of his convictions to have the complaint considered. Nothing legal happened. Nothing even happened within the rules of youtube. The channel was notified, as per the terms, that there was a complaint. The channel decided not to argue the complaint. That's what happened. It has nothing to do with the US or the UK and their myriad of differing laws. If you think you are ill-educated on a subject then it is best to study rather than shout to the world just how little you know.
