Renegades React to...

[@BroudbrunMusicMerge]

To be fair, the money spent on _programmers_ for Y2K wasn't wasted - they actually pre-emptively fixed most of the bugs that could've happened. ... granted, still wouldn't be bringing planes out of skies, lol

Please do the one on his other channel called " the swedish job " sometime its a great video .

[@Here_is_Waldo]

It was an interesting tale, but I'm not sure it's his best comedy-wise. Had a pretty good advertisement bit in it, though.

[@bossbeartherock6034]

@@Here_is_Waldo yeah I agree . But I think the disscussion would be a interesting one . If they decide to do a long one .

[@vesselthanatos3033]

i kept thinking of what it was like being the IT guy from the early 80s to Y2K, just thinking "systems failing? oh cool, so want me to just update it?" and then having the entire world ignore you and start panicking

[@SilentReaperOFC]

Me: Fast forwarding to when the reaction starts 6:28, as I pause to let the video buffer:

[@MrVisualHigh]

Think it's worth saying that Y2K was a real risk. The reason nothing came of it was because lot's of time and money was spent getting prepared for it by removing the potential bugs. The media hysteria that went along with it is kinda par for the course at the moment, people freak out about what they don't understand.

[@TheDemonHelios]

Everyone thought Y2K was gonna be the end of the world, when it just ended up being a normal day on r/softwaregore

[@CeCactus13]

Internet Historian's other channel is really something else to watch.

[@GamerBoy870]

Why hasn't he made anything for his main channel

[@alyshamcalpine2238]

CPMdonnor he said in a comment on his second channel that he lost the password for his main channel and youtube won’t help him recover it lmfao.

[@sirboomsalot4902]

CPMdonnor He forgot his password

[@xynatkarn4187]

Now the question is. What if we hadn't spent that 500 billion on Y2K readiness? Would we have still been basically uneffected?

[@esdeath8236]

Internet Historian actually has a video on his second channel about the cnn thing you mentioned.

[@tylerhackner9731]

Man I wish I was alive for Y2K that would have been crazy

[@Here_is_Waldo]

That would mean you would currently be more than twenty years old. As someone who was alive during that time, I can tell you that it's much better to be young.

[@EmberQuill]

Honestly, the COVID-19 panic is way worse than the Y2K panic ever got. Fringe groups freaked out but the average person wasn't anything more than mildly nervous. The worst part was, as always, the news inciting as much panic as they possibly could. They were talking about the end of civilization itself while most software companies were trying to tell people they'd already fixed the issue a year in advance.

[@booklover4330]

You say that, but you definitely don't. I was young at that time, but still not good.

[@thuzan117]

as someone who was alive (though a kid) at the time I can say that, at least from my perspective, everything was pretty normal at the time. I was chilling with family getting ready for the new millenium, I believe we were watching Titanic. I didn't learn about Y2K until over a decade after the new millenium started.

[@gizmo12055]

it really wasnt,i got nervous when i first heard about it but quickly forgot about it and went on normal,might of helped that i lived out in the country at the time and civilization was a small town

Chad is brave as all hell; I wouldn't have been caught dead streaking even before I was in preschool.

I hope they'll do Balloon Boy soon.

[@generalizedidiocy3040]

That opening scream is the best unintentional Sam Kinison impression I've heard in years

[@EmberQuill]

The fear resulting from the Y2K bug was absolutely hilarious. Microsoft released an update in December of 1998 to fix the problem for Windows systems, before the public hysteria had even really started. Most other software companies handled it early as well. And the fallout, even for companies and governments who did no actual remediation and decided to wait and fix issues as they occurred, was basically inconsequential. Hardly anything went wrong. Some embedded systems (vending machines, bus ticket systems, cash registers, slot machines, etc.) malfunctioned. Even those were isolated cases. One brand of slot machine, one city's bus ticket system, etc. I wonder if there will be a another freakout about the year 2038 problem? That's when UNIX 32-bit timestamps will rollover to 1970. That problem has already been mostly fixed though, and the new date format will work for a few hundred billion years.

[@sterlingmuse5808]

I'm not sure how far in advance people knew about Y2K, but for the 2038 one we have a lot of time and I think it won't be as big of an issue. Then again. People have surprised me with new lows before. Hopefully the media doesn't take it out of proportion.

[@JayStrun]

Y2.038K isn't as catchy as Y2K, and if the media loves anything it's a "crisis" with a catchy name. So I doubt it'll be a big deal at all

[@MugdhaMahdiShams]

@@JayStrun they'll come up with a different catchy name

[@openthinker6562]

Great to see you reacting to Internet Historian. I would like to recommend a different channel: "XBoxAhoy", and specifically I believe you will enjoy his "Iconic Arms" series, covering video game firearms such as the MP-5, Beretta, and even classics such as the magnum, bow and arrow, and even rocket launchers. You guys should enjoy them, they're the definition of quality over quantity.

[@MermaidTrainee]

14:27 The problem was actually the fact that it say 1900. It’s French so Janvier is normal and the word for January

[@booklover4330]

And some people still trust the news, without at least searching things themselves. We never learn.

[@LoinkLoink]

13:31 actually I believe the cabin one was a completely different project.

[@-libertyprimev1-902]

(Around 24:03) This guy really pulled out the Uno Reverse Card...

[@KapitanWasTaken]

Actually I remember some of the fixes only pushed the errors to 2020. I remember reading some articles in January how thousands of cash registers manufactured by Polish firm Novitus have been unable to print receipts due to a glitch in the register's clock.

[@StefanVeenstra]

Ah yes, Y2K, when people celebrated the new century and millennium a year too early.

[@stu2729]

How about another song reaction? Since quite a few people do it now and the song is really sick. Could you do Slaughter to Prevail- Demolisher?

Honestly, Teh Varus is shaping up to be just like Y2K in many ways, at least in hindsight... I wish I was joking.

Check out his secondary channel, Incognito Mode. It has same quality of entertainment.

[@DaltonKY08]

Isn't the purpose of memes is to spread them like wildfire

[@SakuraAvalon]

It was. But now there's people so obsessed with internet clout, they get protective of it. And don't want it to spread, unless they get all the credit and any money attached. Even if they've 'stolen' memes themselves.
