I’ve been watching him since I think 2020. He made some of the best tech content of YouTube and I’ve never seen another individual have more knowledge of Windows internals than him. He was accused by Youtube in the past many times for spreading viruses in the description of some of his videos.

This time it was a copyright violation of some random Japanese channel, with no relation to his channel. It is very possible this error was made by the new AI YouTube copyright detection bots.

Please help spread this. RIP Enderman 2016-2025

      Most “bypasses” are using admin tools and commands to keep accounts in company or local for enterprises. Its hardly hacking. Microsoft just wants to forcibly inflate their registration numbers. Same thing with one drive, the start menu pulling bing content… Etc.

      Its gonna get worse faster as people bail on the eroding enshitified os… Making them try to forcibly lock in other people on the platform harder.

      Related: DRM and piracy. The more invasive it got - the worse it was for paying customers… While the DRM would be stripped out by the pirates. You’d think they’d know better.

      Except this isn’t stealing windows. It’s installing it on unsupported hardware and/or without needing user accounts to be tied to microsoft accounts. It has nothing to do with bypassing windows activation systems.

        your bypassing hardware requirements, that could be against the EULA, and it actually is if you read it. they dont want people sharing videos violating their EULA

        but your…bypassing their software requirements…without their permission…thus breaking the license agreement you agree to installing windows. Listen dude i get it, its fucking stupid, but at the same time, i don’t see what microsoft is doing is wrong (in regards to pulling bypass videos, not this guys account)

          What grounds do they have to pull those videos?

          You are aware there is no law called “If you show someone how to modify the product I sold to them (licensed to them too, as that makes no difference) I get to pull down their content” right?

            i didn’t say it was a law, i said if its in their license agreement its reasonable for them to ask a company hosting the videos to pull said violations. If google said no then that would be ok
