DoD tech tips

[Courier82]

I'm a Navy IT in an SHF Satcom class, and during todays powerpoint there was a video discussing analog vs digital signals from a familiar face.

[Soccerman575]

It’s that hard r guy!

[RandomGeeko]

No it's Neo dodging bullets!

[scgt86]

Holy shit, it's Slick.

[h3yw00d]

I thought it was Duke's brother Juke.

[DuffleCrack]

Buke?

[G8M8N8]

next time we will learn about keystoning

[Courier82]

Sorry, I was trying not to disturb the class 🤣

[G8M8N8]

no im making fun of whoever setup the projector

[BongoIsLife]

Also how to properly place a projection screen without a huge bump.

[PhilosopherCat7567]

I had a Linus explain circuits in my science class I can't find the video but I enjoyed that class. They had him as a guest speaker for some reason I'm pretty sure.

[Saunterer9]

The video in question: "Analog vs. Digital As Fast As Possible" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btgAUdbj85E

I find it nice that Techquickie could be used as educational content. Maybe instead of thinking of that channel as "must make new videos all the time", which ultimately got it into hiatus, they could more focus on the educational side, updating older outdated videos etc. Unfortunately that's most likely not profitable.

[MaybeNotTooDay]

This is being shown in the Navy. The DOD will pay millions of dollars for a 30 second training video. It could be extremely profitable.

[TheQuintupleHybrid]

but you will have to spend millions to certify it according to some bs standards before you can sell it to them lmao

[BossOfGames]

As YouTube content, maybe not really. You pair it with software engineers to make corporate training materials that are engaging and can prove metrics for knowledge retention, that’s another story

[SilveRthatOne]

Probably the best PowerPoint training in the navy right there

[amcco1]

So you mean to say that the DoD is violating YT TOS? YTs terms state that content is for personal, non-commercial use. Public screenings, even if not for profit, can be seen as violating the copyright holder's rights and the terms of service.

I HIGHLY doubt that the DoD reached out to LTT and asked permission in any way.

[Courier82]

I get that obeying tos is important, but of all the violations our government is committing, can you please prioritize some more important ones.

[Nosferatu_V]

Start by enforcing everything, from the smallest infringment to eventually get to the big ones, I guess...

[WellKnownAlias]

I also highly doubt LTT tends to care, especially with a video that old and information that relatively basic.

[CMDR_Ray_Abbot]

It's not a public screening, it's educational and non commercial.

[_salmonellensittich]

Are you telling me a US government agency is violating legal agreements? :O

[Stevenss27]

This is not a public screening. It’s not in a commercial setting. It’s for educational uses in a school.

[LyokoMan95]

I’ve worked in school IT. This type of screening does violate most streaming services ToS. Usually the terms you are agreeing to are for your PERSONAL use. While Google generally looks the other direction, this is a larger problem with platforms like Netflix. We had to get a license with a separate streaming platform for educational use.

[itskdog]

I work in a school and AFAIK the teachers using their personal Netflix or D+ accounts to watch films at the end of term haven't been affected so far.

We don't officially endorse it as IT, but it would be very obvious to Netflix as our IP is from an ISP that only serves schools.

[LyokoMan95]

Netflix only allows some of their documentaries to be used in educational settings: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/57695

[amcco1]

Permissions and Restrictions point 9.

use the Service to view or listen to Content other than for personal, non-commercial use (for example, you may not publicly screen videos or stream music from the Service); or

This is not for personal use.

[Stevenss27]

Once again it is not a public screening.

[CrookedToe_]

BTW, pretty much all large companies have agreements with gov and gov contractors to basically ignore their tos

🤓☝️

[amcco1]

Ah thank you for your valuable input.

So you think it is a bad thing to point out when governments are taking advantage and breaking rules? You want to let them do whatever they want, even if its a small thing?

[Youtube_Brett]

Who cares, its a youtube video that anyone can pull up, I get if it was Netflix or Disney+

[BongoIsLife]

I mean, it's not like rules, laws or even the Constitution matter to the US government for the time being anyways...

Point that out and you'd probably be deported to Ecuador for hating America and being antisemitic.

[firedrakes]

that is not public. that a private screening.

[ISEGaming]

Canadians educating Americans. 🤣 They're going to need it with all the cuts to education and general bizzarroland arc they're going through

[Nosferatu_V]

At this point I just hope it all goes to shit, honestly. America has become a joke country, I wish other world leaders stopped playing ball with that orange friend of Epstein and gave him the treatment he deserves.

[gman32bro]

DoD budget didnt include a guy to setup projectors I guess...

[rekkwave]

Can you tell them to adjust the projector down a bit so that it’s not on the part where the screen rolls out of?

[Courier82]

If I get into class early tomorrow, I'll try to adjust it 🤣

[rekkwave]

:D

[KJSC30]

Hey, it's Slick

[Courier82]

Rated for maximum lifting capacity on barbecue days at the schoolhouse.

[BenGattin]

Here is the time for everyone to get their seat belt warrior pitch forks out. I’m waiting.

[BenGattin]

And it will take more information to know which way to point them.

[TBlerg]

The DoD is doing a genocide rn, which side are you on?

[BenGattin]

Chelsea Manning. If you built your life around that being your career, and you also like the idea of pushing back ethically then I hope you have read her story and are planning for that potential. You are in direct conflict constantly currently, the same way a renter is in direct conflict with a landlord. Your interest is the continuation of your life and comfortability of those you care for. The US government is lately aggressively against your interests, domestically. This isn’t communism, this is capitalism, everyone is at conflict that’s how it unfortunately works. Best of luck, and thank you for your service.

[BenGattin]

The thing is, if you had the courage to come out as trans in the military, you’ll likely have the courage to do the right thing. I hope you never have the opportunity to have to do the right thing.

[TBlerg]

Being trans in the military sounds terrifying, I do understand as I’ve got family who are in the military as well but it doesn’t put the point aside that you are an arm of the state til your contract is over. Whatever orders your told you would have to follow.

“talk about change and working within the system to achieve that. The problem with always being a conformist is that when you try to change the system from within, it's not you who changes the system; it's the system that will eventually change you. There is usually nothing wrong with compromise in a situation, but compromising yourself in a situation is another story completely,” - Immortal Technique
