the DATACRIME II virus is a very SERIOUS THREAT that will ANNIHILATE YOUR COMPUTER AND MANKIND AS WE KNOW IT, but actually it probably won't, for eyewitness news I'm danooct1.
youtube source of news footage: • nVir and DataCrime II ...

Don't do the datacrime if you can't do the datatime

Dan has gone from running viruses and having them not work, to running viruses and having them be bugged anyway.

[@battosaijenkins946]

whoa... things like this existed back in 1989?! thats crazy..

[@sherrbearlive]

Danooct would make a dope history teacher.

[@hexagonist23]

History of dope?

[@deadstar2692]

"Datacrime" sounds like the most stereotypically retro 80's cyberpunk inspired name ever. All this was missing was some movie meant to capitalize on the fearmongering about some malevolent computer virus that turns computers evil and they go around killing people or something.

[@johnlewisbrooks]

Maximum Overdrive lol!

[@Jobby_James]

The fact that the guy in the new report straight up add spaces before typing in the name and then follows it up by simply pressing enter multiple times without the name shows that they are a support scammer using MS-DOS, trying to destroy the pc and is probably getting angry as nothing happens.

[@CaptainZaimon]

I'm picturing some guy as he types "CRIME" onto DOS and goes "heh...watch this...." immediately getting targeted by a SWAT team and snipers.

[@tristanraine]

Pretty sure this is the plot to HACKERS

[@MudchopX]

Imagine your virus generating such a scare that it makes the news and it doesn’t even work properly

[@dusklunistheumbreon]

Tbf it was the second one that was reported on...which was actually pretty damaging for the few infected people. If 1 had actually worked it'd have potentially been a lot bigger of aj issue.

[@cutiesecret]

this virus is old; might be because of that

[@cassert24]

You'd feel miserable but you'd not be able to tell anyone how you feel, which would make you more miserable.

[@5tronguy160]

Hey Dan, been loving the new content lately. Sounds like you're having a lot of fun making them too so that's good. "KZbin grew up watching danooct1. It still does"

[@TwoNumbahNiens]

Lmao the Packard Bell slogan

[@Samarai-hf9si]

I really appreciate the subtitles, even as someone whose hearing is okay I tend to have them on, and the little gags are great, not to mention the explanations of what various sounds coming from the hardware actually /mean/.

[@Trashpanda115]

thanks to you i will never watch dan without subtitles

[@thunderbro7]

I see that I've been missing out. I ended up watching the video a second time just to read the subtitles.

[@xDB8x]

Really enjoying the subtitles: "A drive brrrrrr brrrrrr" "B drive BRRRRRR BRRRRRRR"

[@Retrotude]

It's always funny to see news broadcasts from the early days of home computing having to (badly) explain things that are now common knowledge like what a computer virus is and does because the average person didn't regularly use anything more technologically complex than over-the-air television.

[@somebodystopme4881]

[@Povilaz]

LeviathanRX haha. Fingers crossed

[@mario23412]

Even if you aren't hard of hearing, turn on the captions. You won't regret it lol

[@flarerik]

I find this interesting as it seems like there was constant media hysteria in the late 1980s and early 1990s about DOS viruses that threatened to ruin your hard drive... but then ended up either not being widespread or failing to activate destructively. This reminds me of the Michelangelo video you did a while back where there was similarly a large about of hysteria about the virus before its first payload date came.

[@Ununoctium-]

What an interesting title for a virus! From now on I'll make sure to never type " Datamine II" on any of my PCs!

[@dimitar4y]

fearmongering fear turns out can be manufactured and sold for quite a high price, and then when fed to humans, produces even more money.

[@VectraQS]

This one has big "When Viruses Fail" energy. New installment when?

[@cyberparrot]

The good ol days when viruses often had ridiculous bugs like this, likely stemming from the author not wanting to screw up his or her own PC.

[@johnandmegh]

The 1989 version of your launch announcement linking everyone to your dev server

[@elijahr241]

Yeah, there were no VMs back then

[@r3zaful]

Prehistoric coding is very simple, nowadays viruses do more than just destroy computers.

[@yaziyo]

From this channel I've learned that virus developers in the 80s and 90s never tested their software

[@SpyroTheEternalNight]

i'm just surprised the author fixed the bug and you didn't have to do it for them [again]. very amusing as usual. and i love these (weirdly nostalgic) news clips.

[@edwardrf]

The scare spread was really wide, my grandfather still have the rule of not turning on the computer on Friday the 13th back in the mid 90s in China. When the computer cost more than the place we lived in.

[@ozzyzak]

Though I'm sure there's not a lot of interesting virus story footage from back in the day, I appreciate that you included it. I'm sure it all amounts to like you said, fear and panic etc but it's kind of nice to have it in context. Always love your uploads, Dan :)

[@RGG800]

Just wanted to say that you were one of the channels that started my love for computers oh so many years ago, and this is the first video you’ve released since I started my first job as a software developer :D

[@cambridgeport90]

I can assure you... that news report sounded a hell of a lot more interesting than anything that shows up today. We need to get back to then. Great video!

[@SoundBlaster1998]

For some reason, DataCrime just reminds me of "Piracy. It's a Crime" video. *You wouldn't run a COM file*

[@animeredditor2046]

Love the effort put into the subtitles, great stuff 👏

[@cescse]

Excelente sin dudas. Me gusta tu contenido, y la posibilidad de traducirlo automaticamente a mi idioma, lo hace más disfrutale. Felicidades y excelente contenido.

[@saghwteam]

I know that news footage is absolute bull, but often it's due to time constraints and necessity. I know a guy who works as an editor at a TV, and he told me sometimes you just need some 5 seconds of passable footage jusr to "fill it in". He recounted that at one point he had to edit this bomn threat news, but due to the lack of footage, he resorted to put in a recording of the game "Just Cause 2" to reach the 30 second mark. After all, the news segment is only used once, and no one really watch the footage anyway (paraphrasing his words)

[@tastychunks]

Babe wake up, new danooct1 video

Can't wait for the datacrime trilogy to be completed, George R. R. martin is really taking their sweet time with this one

[@TrevorJuve]

Can I just say I always love the care put into the subtitles to give it personality. Sometimes snarky, sometimes just obliviously cheery. I appreciate the effort and find it adorable and amazing.

[@ultralowspekken]

Wait... Did the journalists just develop the lamest virus just for a friday 13th prank that in the end did, like, >1% damage?
