File it under "mildly annoying" rather than disaster I wasn't entirely sure you'd know what it meant to brick it, but thought you'd ask if not

The recovery procedure is:

  • Download key from master server
  • Boot from recovery media
  • Recover using downloaded key
  • Leave notebook on the network for 2 hours to finish recovery
... short version is I need to take it in to the office to do the recovery. My notebook is deliberately easy to break so we can test possible fixes from the encryption product vendor... but no luck so far

The funny thing is that we have several hundred identical laptops, but only a handful are affected by the bug. Go figure.

Had to look up what brick meant. That is the type of shit my nightmares are made of. Hope things are better now.

RFC: VS6 Sidebar Suggestions (Sift Talk Post)

oritteropo says...

I mostly use related for finding dupes, and only occasionally for finding vids to watch. The suggested vids algorithm sounds too much like what I'd normally click to the front page for.

I do have some suggestions though, some of which used to be a thing and one I'd like to see:

  • The 5 newest submissions
  • 5 other vids from this user
  • 5 vids expiring soon
  • 5 vids from beggar's canyon

Actually, I do quite often look at Top New Videos by Vote, even though I could just click through to the front page. I'm not adding it to my list though, because only taking 5 wouldn't be the same, or as good.

p.s. I also have an argument against removing related from the vs6 sidebar: It does have a place, but finding somewhere else for it in the new layout is a challenge.


VideoSift v6 (VS6) Beta Video Page (Sift Talk Post)

oritteropo says...

That's really good The previous member menu layout wasn't nearly as usable, and I'm VERY glad to see beggar's canyon linked.

Remaining things I'm still switching back and forth for are:

  • Number of votes of my current vids (the "My Unsifted Videos" pop-up doesn't seem to have a direct equivalent yet in v6 beta).
  • Adding vids to playlists.

I've added back in lots of functionality like the ability to edit videos, fix dead videos, view/activate backup embeds, display (prominently) if a video is dead, and created links for beggar's canyon, dead pool, thumbnails wanted, top users, awards, and top badges.

Most of those things now live under the member tab.

I personally think they're fine!

@newtboy, et al. - It's not necessarily about specific visual content that would be embedded (though animated gifs and huge images are worth concern). It's more about the overall aesthetic of the page and the visual stick-in-the-eye of a bunch of big, ugly images strewn about filling up a comment listing like a bulletin board circa 1999.

This Girl Can

oritteropo says...

I'm from Australia and not from the UK and it could be quite different here, but since I first came across @bareboards2's comments on the subject I've been observing my (female) family members and peers quite closely and can report how they use the terms.

  • Going out with women who aren't close friends, or doing serious or grown-up things, "women" (and call them girls in this context and insult them for exactly the reasons @bareboards2 says). For instance, "I'm going out with a group of women from the bowls club".
  • Going out with close friends, "girls" (girls' night out, going out with the girls, etc.). Call them women in this context and expect them to be insulted, and to be told "we aren't old".
  • Young women are always girls, at least until the end of high school.


This pretty much exactly mirrors when men use the terms men vs boys here, and has some commonality with the rules for vous vs tu in French.

Maybe our UK folk can tell us about whether the connotations of the word "girl" are different.

insane street fighter 3 comback

Shepppard says...

This isn't even close to what the original was, the video's been replaced with a Street Fighter 4 video, not the original 3, where A Ken Vs. Chun Li match was being played. As such, i'm re-claiming the *dead on this.
