Lots of digital cameras use an incrementing number in the filename. If you ignore the prefix part, I wonder what is the most commonly uploaded filename number for photos and videos?

IMG_XXXX is actually a standard for digital cameras https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_rule_for_Camera_File_sy... TFA, "Apple uses the ‘IMG_XXXX’ naming convention for all images and videos captured on iOS devices, where XXXX is a unique sequence number." isn't very accurate, as the numbers are not unique. They're just sequential. if you take 1001 images, the file system will actually create a new folder and roll t…

Thanks for fact-checking me on this. When writing this, I didn’t consider what would happen on the 10,000th image. I will add an asterisk on this line!

Eleven in four months?

Assuming it takes someone roughly 4-6 weeks to realize they are pregnant, the child was probably born in or around November 2014, and will be turning 10 in the next couple weeks.

I suppose the woman filming the video could have taken much longer to realize (unlikely, but possible), or chose to wait to tell the father until several months later (also unlikely, but possible), but either way, the kid is turning 10 now-ish, not 11.

It's also possible that this video was posted well after it was taken, in which case we can't say much about the age of the kid, except that it likely happened before this "Share to YouTube" functionality was removed from iOS.

Why does he walk off at the end? Did he still not believe her do you think?

He also said, "My heart just dropped". That's a curious thing to say.

I guess as in 'dropped a beat'. The news was so surprising his heart stopped momentarily.

Surprised that nobody is talking about the other obscure file name "Webcam video from" that was attached to untitled videos made in the webcam recorder that used to be built into the site.

The website http://astronaut.io/ does a similar thing but for recent videos, and not just from iPhones. From the home page: > These videos come from YouTube. They were uploaded in the last week and have titles like DSC 1234 and IMG 4321. They have almost zero previous views. They are unnamed, unedited, and unseen (by anyone but you). At one point you might be at a school recital in Malaysia, and the next minute you a…

I just opened it in incognito in Chrome on Android noticed that the YouTube videos continue playing without interruption even when I switch to another tab or minimize chrome altogether and switch to another app. how can we harness this power to play our favorite audio tracks in background (without any ads to boot ... shhh don't tell Google) I also notice that the website triggers a browser warning when loading that i…

There was an iOS app that used to let you do this; it would play music via Youtube embeds in a hidden web view, exposing its own UI for all the functionality you'd expect from a music streaming app.

Whether this was legal is... a gray area, it was a somewhat legitimate company that won some kind of Canadian startup contest on TV, but the music industry was, very predictably, furious at their business model.

Eventually, Apple got scared enough of being sued along with them that they caved in and removed the app, but that took far longer than I thought it would.

There's a good article at https://torrentfreak.com/apple-removes-parasitic-streaming-a...

A little bit tangent, and I'm definitely looking at it from rose colored glasses... but been playing with it for the 30 minutes, and most of the videos look so real? Like when you go on TikTok / Instagram nowadays, there are obviously unlimited amount of content. But there's this sense of everything being edited multiple times, people trying to create their own "brand", nothing looking real. It's a shame how we over-…

This comes across to me like a sort of "voyeur porn"...in the sense like how "food porn" excites the stomach...and sports excites competitive spirit.

What I'm gathering from the comments here is that these videos excite faculties of man that are less carnal than the other examples.

Be that as it may.

Once upon a time you could do this directly on google with things like “index of” and find candid things from people’s shared folders

This is genuinely amazing. The complete lack of editing. And strangely some of the videos were allowed to have copyrighted content in the background (meaning ContentID wasn't live or hasn't been retroactively applied) really sells the scene. Like, the last one has Taio Cruz's Dynamite playing in the background. Amazing. The Ea-Nasir Tablet of our time.

>allowed to have copyrighted content in the background I might be wrong in your specific case, but generally YouTube doesn't just remove videos with copyrighted audio. Often copyright holders instead make it so that the video with their songs will have ads and they'll receive all the ad revenue. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7002106?hl=en "Depending on the copyright owner's Content ID settings, Content ID…

When this happens don’t you typically also see the track registered at the bottom? ContentID took them a long time to develop if I’m remembering right.
