The minecraft port number is 25565, not 65535
65535 is the decimal of (which apparently people don’t realize is 2^16 - 1)

Hits uninstall on Minecraft.

Ooh, I found one that I, a programmer, can explain! Computers aren't perfect when it comes to decimal numbers. It stores them in what you can think of as "scientific notation", but in base 2 (binary) instead of base 10 (decimal). The calculation for the percentage of achievements completed looks something like this:
floor(100 * (completedAchievements / totalAchievements))
(where "floor" is the floor function, which outputs the greatest integer less than or equal to the input; for positive numbers, you can think of it as removing everything after the decimal point)
In base 10, 57/100 is simply 0.57, but in base 2, it's actually a repeating decimal. The computer doesn't truly understand repeating decimals, and it can only store so many places after the decimal point. So when it gets multiplied by 100 again, it lost a bit of precision from 57, becoming The floor function removes everything after the decimal point, leaving you with 56%.
The easiest fix here is to *round* the number instead of using the floor function, so it would round to 57. But that comes with its own problems. For example, if you completed 199/200 achievements, that would be 99.5%, rounding up to 100%, implying that you completed all achievements. To fix *that* issue, you would check whether they *actually* completed all of the achievements, and show "100%" only in that case, and "99%" otherwise. But then the last percent would require 1.5x more achievements to complete than each percent before that, not to mention that the first percent only took half as much as every other percent. The easiest solution is often the one that introduces the most other issues.
Another fix is to check whether the number is "close enough" to an integer for it to round up. But then you have to consider how close is "close enough" is close enough to be 57, but is 56.999 close enough? If so, then would be considered 57%, although 57% was technically not reached yet. (And yes, there is a game on Steam with more achievements than that.) And again, would be 99.999%, which would be considered 100%, and falsely implies that all achievements were completed.
You could also try storing numbers in a different way, which has done before, so that practically no precision is lost from the view of a base 10 minded human. Although this works, it could make the code a lot messier (depending on the language) and would be overengineering such a simple problem. Not to mention that storing numbers like that takes up a *lot* more RAM, as opposed to the comparably simple "scientific notation" numbers, and is only deemed necessary when the numbers being dealt with are in simulations that have to be super precise, or could have real world consequences (such as currency, or sending things to space).
One more fix would be to just check whether the number of total achievements is exactly 100, and if so, then the percentage is simply the number of completed achievements. But that's unnecessarily (although very slightly) complicating a problem which has a solution that works flawlessly for 99% of cases. Though if anything is to be done about this issue, this would be it, as it's the easiest solution that brings no foreseeable complications (at least, that I have noticed).
In conclusion, there's no solution here worth spending much time on; the imprecision is completely unnoticeable on most games, which usually won't have exactly 100 achievements. A simple formula takes care of things, and dealing with tons of edge cases only makes the code 100x messier with little to no effect. Best to just take the percentage with a grain of salt, and accept that computers, while great at many things, will never quite understand humans and their obsession with base 10.
*EDIT:* One last solution that may solve this problem for good is to use an equivalent formula that changes how the calculation is done:
floor(completedAchivements / (totalAchievements / 100))
This would work practically flawlessly for all multiples of 100, since dividing the totalAchievements by 100 would not be a repeating decimal, and therefore would allow for greater precision. However, it is also much less intuitive than the original formula, and although I can't find any faults with it, I wouldn't be surprised if new issues arose as a result.

Him : “are those pandas”?

Me : “I guess someone here has never seen a cow before”

I think it is funny how Jordan literally explained the plot of Free Guy in the first clip.

[tikvahlanz]

It’s a really small thing, but I really love that the editor only left the post with the seizure warning on screen just long enough to get what it was. It shows care and consideration for the viewers to not leave it up longer than necessary. I don’t have epilepsy, but several of my family members do, and it’s the little things that really show you care.

[lavaowl]

I'm sunburnt all down my arms, you aren't alone Jardon lol

[najrenchelf]

5:49 - he doesn’t even notice how they are going through the water when there is a BRIDGE RIGHT THERE! 😂

[dangerousdoggo]

at 6:20, where you thought those are pandas, those are actually cows, its a game called Banished, and you are not supposed to be able to cross water, but they are going in the water and not on the bridge over it. To someone who knows banished, this is really funny (Am I alone?)

[christophero]

*Jardon:* “are they spiders? Are they pandas?”

*Me:* they’re spider pandas!

[AshtonSnapp]

65535 is the 16 bit unsigned integer limit, 2 to the power of 16 minus 1.

[vnceigz]

• 1:20 - No, 25565 is Minecraft's port. (65, 535 is the maximum value for a 16-bit variable: 2¹⁶-1 — also the highest port #).
• 3:00 - Maybe it's a video from LowSpecGamer's channel.
• 3:38 - Is it a hidden message? 🤔
• 4:08 - This might actually be from from 98DEMAKE's channel. He does that sort of thing.
• 4:25 - IKR? I swear I recall _Pong_ having a round tennis-ball. 😕
• 5:48 - A better counter to Skynet is Watson on _Jeopardy!_ As Bugs would say, _what a maroon._ ¬_¬
• 5:58 - Apparently Jordan's never seen a cow before.
• 7:42 - The backwards-time (which is nonsense) parallel-universe thing has been explained and debunked to death.
• 9:07 - This is what you get with a Microsoft buy-out, they will _not_ allow you to remove their programs. ¬_¬
• 9:36 - And people thought a web-connected fridge was absurd. 🙄
• 10:19 - Or an uninterruptible power supply. (I made one for my web-server.)
• 12:18 - Also, that exposes used email addresses.
• 13:37 - Obviously Jordan has never seen Linus Tech Tips.

why does he look like he just stopped crying

Yup, all they have found was a high energy neutrino going upwards in the Arctic.

Neutrinos are very good at phasing through stuff, but the average penetration depth drops with rising energy.
At the energy level of the neutrino found in the Arctic, the chance of it phasing through the entire Earth was incredibly miniscule.

If I'm correct, there were 2 possible explanations listed in the paper published about the incident:
1) Some kind of an astronomical event involving a black hole created a huge amount of high energy neutrinos.
2) The high energy neutrino originated on the surface or in the atmosphere, below the weather balloon with the instrument that detected the neutrino.

Some person theorized that the second option could be a result of a parallel universe where the time runs backwards, and the media jumped on that, for the clicks.

[renethomsen]

"Is it spiders or pandas?" No Jordan, It's cows, and the footage is sped up - Applying logic... failed! lol

[ChaosTheSalamander]

Of course the “universe where time runs backwards” hasn’t been discovered, but it’s more like...
“Damn, the math works out, so i mean it COULD work”
...which technically is what all astrophysics is

[michaelbusch]

“Unalive a bit of time” it’s second nature for you at this point

[ultrage]

Jordau: this upside down u
n: am I a joke to you?
