My aunt has Panda Cleanup. When I asked her if it is any good she replied “I like Pandas 🐼”. Can’t argue with that logic…

My grandpa refused to replace his DYING hard drive that was causing is relatively "okay" pc to be nearly unusably slow. He was just going to replace his whole PC when it finally died. Me, being the person that knew they were going to get called when that happened, decided to upgrade him to an SSD without telling him. Now he complains his PC is too fast. You literally can't win with old people.

From real-world experience, a loved one that is calling for computer help isn't calling for help updating drivers, deleting startup items, or any of that. They call when something that was working stops working (usually a printer). Then you, the family's reluctant tech support, sits down at or remotes into their computer and are shocked and disgusted at the state of things and want to grab them by the shoulders and shake them violently while screaming "HOW DO YOU TOLERATE THIS?!?!" and suddenly the scope of your support call has broadened drastically. (then 3 months later something goes wrong on their computer and you get a call that starts with "Something you did...")

It's crazy how marketing can mislead people into buying software that essentially duplicates built-in Windows features, often worse. Always remember a lot can be achieved with built-in tools sparing your wallet unnecessary damage.
-
Spent years with CCleaner, or as we used to say CC Cleaner. Lol.
-
Oh God, IOBIT. I remember an older version that decided my desktop was "junk documents" and cleared out my homework word docs. Not recycling bin, full delete, and had to rescue disk what I could.

I want to say that I just love how you guys make your own stock footage. It really shows production value and love for the craft. And they're also way better than generic stock footage
-
Thanks for taking the time to slow down and explain the graphs rather than jiust flashing them up on screen and expecting us to make sense of them in under 5 seconds.

As for the fomo tactics, I'm so glad that EU introduced a solution to this: any sale or limited offer needs to come with a "lowest price in last 30 days", so if they had the same "limited offer" forever, they need to show you that this price isn't anything special.
-
More than 10 years ago, I used to work in a computer repair shop and CCleaner was one of the best tools in my arsenal. I don't know how it is these days
-
I'm so glad you addressed the marketing tactics. These issues are across the board and drive me crazy!
-
Missed a significant factor: do they break or remove stuff you actually want to keep.
-
I have a video idea. There are lots of poorly written softwares out there. That even after uninstalling remain in your registry. One of the most annoying software like this is the new ASUS suite. Terrible to get out of your pc. Even after multiple tries fragments still lingered. Ultimately I had to do a reinstall of windows. A video about getting clean uninstalls would be greatly informative and appreciated.

Nothing beats the Browser "Toolbar" era for bogged down computers. I don't even know if you can come close unless you turn on every Windows Telemetry spyware "feature".

Matthew is such a nice dude! Keep on creating great stuff my man! 😊
-
Im loving these basic experimental videos
-
Elijah, I wish the best for you and Sydney. You seem very happy together.

9:01 if buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing.

Autoruns for windows is amazing. It shows you start up applications as well as those on task scheduler and registry items

I really liked that OpenWRT router ad. I didn't knew there were those kind of things of sale nowadays, looks like a good product, and probably get plenty of people on the rabbit hole of what DD-WRT were and are, which is good 🙂
