I wanted to test how far back could you really go if you wanted to get into video editing, but you felt like you didn't really have the necessary equipment. Turns out this 14 year old machine actually does a decent job, as long as you don't mind having a slightly lower resolution. Hope it didn't bother you too much.

I got my first really good computer at a Pawn Shop. The previous owner was REALLY into Gay Porn. He left all his personal file in it, Family photos, friends photo, Gay friend photos along with their names and addresses. I even gotten 8mm Video tapes from Thrift Shops where they didn't erase them before giving them away. This lady love shooting video of her nude husband showing. And her kids showing, and her showing. Always erase any data before dumping or giving it away.
I don't wipe old drives; I disassemble them. Totally secure, and the disks are fun to play with.
can i have it😅 i need something to use for studies and occasional gaming
I respect you bro. But those negative comments kinda pissed me off
Don’t let them get to you man. It’s all good, it’s just people on the internet 🤟
@@schvabekUnderstand but the part people saying that you using Virtual Machine but it's clearly that you actually using and run an actual machine. 😂
Amerikanci se odmah naljute kad ih neko krivo pogleda brate kamo li da otvore njihov hard disk 😆znam da nisi ništa loše mislio. A ove reakcije su normalne, i ja tako previše glumim na engleskom jer ne mogu prirodnije, nije mi materni jezik.
Ej stari, hvala na podršci. Ma kao mislili su da glumatam valjda. Uglavnom, sve pet, internet je to 😂
Dear random youtuber, Please do not listen to people's comments especially Americans (sorry for the offence), they are very dumb and think their laws apply to every country which for them includes Asia, Europe, Africa and Australia (as countries). People who aim to make money via youtube will make clickbaity thumbnails and titles because that's what the audience wants. If a youtuber wants views, they will have to do it maybe not now but in the future for sure.
Hey, thanks, appreciate the support. Click baits are something to come to terms with, but I’ll try to keep them as non-cringy as I can.
YOOO NEW VID! Also dont listen to the idiots who think youve done a bad thing youve done whats right and they called YOU the bad one. Not everyone knows whats right and wrong i suppose
Thanks man, glad you have my back 🤟❤️
@schvabek always will man! Also it's really disturbing and sad how people wanna make you look like the bad one when you haven't done anything wrong
😅
If it spins it will work, all you need is the bootable CD for HDD Regenerator. I have used the software to revive many disk's and recover files to a new drive. More often than not, the drives will function properly as the error is in the magnetic flux on the platters, so HDD Regen just amplifies the flux to regenerate the disk and it doesn't care what operating system, formatting, etc. Its a valuable tool to have in your kit. Google hdd regenerator
Umm, I either keep the old hard drives or cut them up with an angle grinder. Some are blissfully oblivious of all this......until they aren't of course.
good on you for the white hat. @10:10 probably because the user somehow ended up with a win11 install on a mechanical drive. consumerism and planned obsolescence encourages a lot of e-waste in our ungratefully fortunate society. that drive is like $9 w/free shipping; never we mind that'd feed a small village for a day somewhere.
Stvarno ne znam sto su ljudi takvi, jeste titl Malo bio previse, Ali Si samo covek Koji voli Stara sranja pored kante, jednom sam cak nasao celi komp pored kante :)😊 I bravo sto Si mu se javio I to, znam da nisi hteo da mu uzmes informaciju I to...
2:11 "I thought you found the diddy files." is crazy bro
I mean, the comments in general are… wild.
Encrypting your HD prevents this.....
I agree with you, you should leave it as is. However, I do agree with other comments. You should sell it and get a Macbook Air M3 brand new. You might have money left over for a nicer monitor too.
Sometimes this is how things goes south from the internet for genuinely innocent people caught in a misunderstanding, getting gaslit from other people who don't think twice before typing. I absolutely commend your response to those comments because my sensitive self wouldn't handle it any better, and I mean it! 👏👏👏
@@AmirRazan Nah, man, it’s fine. I’ve been around long enough to know how these things go, you just can’t know when it’s going to happen to you. Fortunately, I have a pretty thick skin. And you guys having my back 🤟
Don't care about the negative comments man
@@4ilal thanks man 🤟❤️
Since this has x86 System, you can put linux or even Windows on it natively.
Хорошие ретро приемники. У меня в детстве был производства Риговского завода электроники. Крутил кассеты до середины нулевых, пока не сломался по части читающего устройства. Позже колонки были приколхожены к пк
16:9 screen would have been era appropriate as well
Of course. This is just how I remember playing these games at home (on my CRT and my first LCD), as well as at school, and in LAN cafes. They all had 3:4 monitors around I guess 2000-2003
I think for late Win 9x and some Win XP titles these machines with similar graphics cards are actually a decent choice. You could also upgrade the GPU and a dedicated sound card like the ESS Solo to get more compatibility.
There are a few arcades in Prague and the surrounding areas, you don't need to go to the States for that
There are arcades in Europe I’ve even visited a couple, there are also arcade shows here where I am, but it’s the whole arcade culture we missed out on here in the 80s. I think you can still recapture that in the States.
wow...
Nice!
@@betweenthewater thanks!
@@schvabek no problem :)
You shouldn’t pay too much attention to those snowflakes! Specially to those gringos, they think they rule the world and that their fragility can apply anywhere!
Okay that Diddy files is legit hoping to much 😂.
@@bhirawamaylana466 I mean… 🤷♂️
Liked the response, people need to understand anyone, ANYONE could have picked the hard drive and could have done ANYTHING with that information. You didn't, and that's where the difference lies. I took that video as more of an educational one than wanting to see you find child po*n on there.
Thanks man, I really appreciate the support 🤟❤️
Так, ясно все стало о сшвабеке: кликбейтные названия, скам с розыгрышем макбука, кража чужих данных (самое смешное, что люди сами отдают свои данные гуглу, амазону, апл и тд и тп, но стоит восстановить данные с найденного хдд, так сразу начинают бубнеть). Оставайтесь с нами, мы продолжаем вести расследование о новой балканской ОПГ "яблочная"
Ты еще забыл про отмывание денег в патреоне 👍
@schvabek все сказанное вами будет использовано против вас в суде. Ахаха
@@ro1934 ну, я конечно америкосов люблю, но они похоже в своем мире каком-то живут
Just put your foil hat back on mate, youll be alright. Cheers.
The video you made was necessary as a cautionary tale but that went over people's heads, the fact people wanted you to find abuse of minors on the hard drive is actually disgusting because if you really think logically about that, that would mean many kids suffered. I'm glad the guy wasn't angry and it seems like maybe he is going to give you some of his unwanted old tech for future videos. The Americanisation of the internet is another component to the outrage in the comments, the America viewers believe the rest of the world follows everything america does and that the laws in america are applicable in all territories around the world which is just ignorant on so many levels. People seem to enjoy making themselves offended when watching a video they clicked on knowing what the potential content could be, it was only a few videos ago they were very upset that you got a really good deal on a good MacBook and said that you should have left it for someone who needed it more, there is no pleasing people especially online where everyone is ready to get extremely angry over something that doesn't require such an energy.
Thanks for having my back, man, glad you understand where I’m coming from. Much love ❤️
i actually was going though a hard drive on a pc i got out of a dumpster ~2 weeks ago. i was surprised that the user had no password or any personal data still on that windows 10 installation. the drive mostly had "anti virus" programs that made the pc hard to use
@@WeatherMan2005 Happens all too often. One of the reasons I made that video.
And a friend of mine was wondering why i put a pick axe through some old hard drives when i moved. They're IDE and i had used Sata for years but still.
So, Hunter was trying to throw away all the evidence 'eh ?.... 🤣🤣🤣
"Ahab has to go hunt his whale" and all that chide'y stuff. it actually IS horrible to throw out an unwiped drive containing all your stealable ID and credentials. Must be a pretty god-awful person to actually WANT nastier more distasteful things in an upload. I don't think you should worry about your harddrive testing methodology that much xD It's not like whatever malware you find on a ... normie civilian... harddrive is gonna be an actual threat. People would rather hack hospitals or important businesses and do so as directly as possible --what on earth would they want with some random home garbage PC, yknow? But I guess people love to be spooky spooky 😁
Hey, man, thanks a lot, appreciate the support. I also don’t think there’s too much to worry about when testing these junk hard drives, but still, I wouldn’t want anybody to watching my videos to get themselves in trouble by not being careful enough.
Uhh when you find something in trash it no longer has owner so to be fair with you; you find it, you are the owner. Nothing illegal about it and honestly, good on you, the drive couldve ended up in the wrong hands. But now it was just testament that shows you gotta be careful with your data.
And also; real hardware>virtual machines
And when it comes to privacy; you gotta create your own
@@LeonTichy thanks man 🤟❤️
2:09 to 2:21 what you said here is soo true it hurts as someone who has also been trying to get their own channel off the ground while keeping my dignity nothing feels worser to me than spending nearly 2 weeks on a video for it to bomb cause in my thumbnail i didnt over hype or clickbait it is frustrating...
Yeah, unfortunately the title and the thumbnail unfortunately ARE the reason people click on the video. I’m just trying to think of a better way of luring them in than a stupid “oh” face. God that pisses me off 😂
If you're a techie and have never gone though all the personal info on old HDs you got from the trash or secondhand shops, you're lying. It's scary what people will throw away. Secure and destroy your data people. Most people won't just be nosy and forget about it after the wipe.
I haven't seen a single tech dive style channel that HASN'T gone through old trash drives for fun. And on specifially REPAIR channels, it's their job to do so to see if they actually succeeded in repairing one. 😁
@@johndeerekid167 I don’t really set out to go through people’s personal files. Like, especially documents. But on several occasions I did find like photos of old tech, retro things, overall just wonderful things, just by accident. But I’m unfortunately not going to do that anymore on TH-cam. Not worth it.
Random thought - if this was running Windows 11, aren’t the pain in the arse TPM requirements there to specifically prevent someone booting an HDD off another machine? Or am I way off base?
@@bob_obba no idea. Like I’ve said, I haven’t used win 11 that much.
@@schvabek Well you did a good deed by helping educate this chap, especially if he's sailing the high seas. I always take a hammer to my old HDDs, it's quite therapeutic too!
That HDD find is a wanna be hacker's wet dream. I definitely would've sent the owner a gmail from his own account with tips on how to properly dispose of a HD. Not sure how every site handles saved logins, but since you were booted from the drive it is entirely possible some sites considered that a trusted login and sent no notifications. Very scary. This is exactly why I have a closet full of old wiped and mechanically destroyed HDs. Can't be too paranoid regarding your personal data.
How do we know that hard drive didn't contain the most impossible improbable hypothetical situation in it? 💩
@@computersales can’t say I follow
Why were people so mad? It’s not like he was hiding it or something. He just threw it in the dumpster. Anyone could have accessed his data.
exactly. far more dangerous things could have happened if another guy got to it
@@itsmaxifunyt yeah, well… people. They said it must’ve been stolen or something. It wasn’t lol
i wouldn't say the original video was clickbait. but ild say it was not a good choice for a title.
@@TheOriginalMacOS I mean… That very much depends on how you view a “good title”. For some, it’s a title that brings in the views. For others, it correctly depicts the video itself. And sometimes that’s very subjective. I didn’t set out to create a particularly absurd title, it just made sense to me at the time.
@@schvabek aight fair point
I'm sure other commenters have already pointed this out, but your Core2Duo machine runs on BIOS whereas most modern machines use UEFI
Open office 4? Winamp? Winrar? BS Player? If you add eMule, that's my XP desktop. Edit: After all the info you found by accident, did you sent him an email? 😂😂
louis rossman is a scam. I visited him when he was in NY, because I live in NY and it was the same issue but with a 2015 macbook pro back in the day. They told me my motherboard was damaged but it was a complete screen issue. I purchased a salvaged screen from ebay and replaced it myself. Louis is a donkey, he only shows what he wants on YT - but his practices are garbage… that’s why he moved all the way to texas to RUN.
