Daniel Myslivets (Russian: Даниил Мысливец; Belarusian: Данiла Мыслiвец; born: January 13, 2003), is a Belarusian[1] YouTuber and fellow friend of similar YouTuber Enderman, who creates videos about messing around with Windows operating system. He also creates various tutorials, reviews and other content on similar topics.
History[]
Before starting career, he known a bit about YouTube from his parents. Initially he registered the Google account for creating YouTube channel on December 15, 2015 as "Daniel". In 2016 he thought about videos and appearance of channel, and in March he uploads his first video, which was just a reupload of Windows ME advertising video. In the same day on his channel have been uploaded video showcasing modified Windows XP bootleg into Windows Whistler's beta appearance and other videos messing mostly with Windows XP.
Eventually channel started to grow in 2017: Daniel Myslivets branding was raised, and in New Year stream he created it's current logo. He eventually started to expand it's tests on other versions of Windows: thus, he reviewed some viruses, changed time into year 10000 and etc. But the most famous video at that time was collection of Intel Inside animations.
In 2018, video creation was partially stopped due to personal problems. But among with that he changed intro, videos quality particularly started to raise up, and appearance of channel received uplifts. Eventually experiments become more interesting: with abusing lot of bugs existing in Windows videos were step up from primitive experiments (registry porting, time switching) into something more (Windows over Windows, MUI modifications, quota limiting, etc).
The huge growth was fixed in 2021: after changing his hardware, channel appearance turned to be more aesthetical, content quality increased up to 1440p, and videos become longer. Eventually Daniel started to make videos with his voice in 2022, before that it appeared only on specific videos.
Bootlegs[]
Daniel collaborated with others to create difficult and post ironic bootlegs, to joke at horrendous Russian bootleg makers which filling their creations with bloatware and useless software, in that manner making system unusable.
Thus, in 2019, Daniel Myslivets & Enderman created Windows CTAC in base of Windows XP SP3. It for a short time caught a hype thankfully to it's new features like very «frustrating» themes, flipped text and a bunch of messed services and totally changed texts & graphics. For this build even existed additions pack made by community.
Next, Daniel participated in development of Windows OLEG, released in 2020 and made by Cuteiter. In same maneer, it was a modified Russian Windows 98 build, which translated in most awful way, mostly containing uncensored speech.
Videos[]
Before 2021, his videos was experiments with Windows, by modifying and patching it at several ways, even changing crucial parameters to see results. Now mostly his videos are telling more about several things associated Windows: from easter eggs and strange builds to history of versions and reviewing of useful software.
Similar to his friend Enderman, he uses VMware Workstation as his primary virtual machine platform. For older operating systems he sometimes uses Oracle VM VirtualBox and 86Box. Sometimes he makes collaborations with his other YouTube pales, such as Veselcraft, Captain Strannik and others.
His videos are in Russian language as of 2024, but the closed captions of videos are in English, so non-Russian viewers can understand them. He used non-copyrighted music, sometimes from various computer and mobile games, such as Geometry Dash. Soon after, it's musical appearance switched to YouTube Audio Library, due to possible copyright strikes on musical compositions.
Computer specs[]
Until 2021, Daniel Myslivets created video using a computer on Intel Core i3 (1.70 GHz), 4 GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon R7 GPU. Now he creates videos using a Lenovo laptop with Intel Core i7, 8 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti GPU.
