Virus.DOS.Datacrime

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.

[lajenehuen]

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

[sherrbearlive]

Danooct would make a dope history teacher.

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

[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.

[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.

"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.

Hey Dan, been loving the new content lately. Sounds like you're having a lot of fun making them too so that's good.

"YouTube grew up watching danooct1. It still does"

[MudchopX]

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

[Samarai-hfsi]

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/.

[xDBx]

Really enjoying the subtitles:
"A drive
"B drive

[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.

[geogaddi.]

I like how active the channel’s been lately, great work!

[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.

[VectraQS]

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

[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!

[mario]

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

[Signor]

Big respect to your computer, man. Been through so much shit over the years and still trucking!

[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.

[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.

[dimitary]

fearmongering

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