Mike has a thinkpad and covers his webcam? What a beautiful hunk of a man

When I was home for the holidays, I went to my public library and discovered Monero miners running on all of the public computers. Had to explain what that was the the “IT” person there.

I believe that the honest version of this is genius. I happily donate CPU time for services.

The more knowledgeable someone is about the internet, the more likely it is they've got a sticker over their webcam.

7:10 They may have used Coinhive's script because it was likely that browsers and antimalware would allow it to run

Surprised it's taken this long to be fair. When I first heard about bitcoin years ago the first thought that came to my head was "somebody could easily make a phone app that does some mining in the background".

Absolutely loving the crypto theme lately mate!

Hey, Mike, I was wondering why I generally see you with (generically) Windows or Linux machines but Steve (Bagley) seems to have a preference for Apple? How about a vid showing what tech you guys own and why - including phones, tablets and gaming systems? I used to love Apple but the more I learn about that company the more I've begun to despise them. How do computer-savvy guys justify buying Apple? Is it the ergonomics, the kudos, security concerns? It definitely can't be bang for your buck!
Big fan of yours and the channel btw, keep hitting us up with new content :)

2:13 LOL the comments XD
Julian: What language is this? It is nonsense.
Mike P.: I'm not biased, but you're great
Everyone: I like Prof. Brailsford Better.

Great to see you Dr Mikey. My OCD problem keeps telling me that middle draw should be shut properly.
@asm_nop 5年前

The problem with this that I've experienced was that some of these sites crank the CPU draw to 100%. I opened a link from discord to some meme compass something or other, and Chrome was hanging, and every other task was halting momentarily every few seconds while that one tab was open. It was eating 100% of all 6 cores in my machine..

I love watching Dr. Mike speak. Cracks me up!

I love your enthusiasm! And the explanations are great as well, thanks!

Yay, more Mike!

I've seen a pretty smart malware that was mining only when the user was afk, like a screensaver. Once again the fans gave it out.

A Minecraft Mod that mines cryptocurrency as you mine blocks in game.
