Fri 22:42:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Windows 95 wasn't too bad.
Fri 22:42:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It hadn't really occurred to them yet how they could be truly nasty I think.
Fri 22:43:02 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it still had hilariously bad design
Fri 22:43:09 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I mean, they had the bundling deals and stuff, but the OS wasn't full of ads and spyware.
Fri 22:43:10 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ like how they did dynamic linking
Fri 22:43:18 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ <MinceR> it still had hilariously bad design
Fri 22:43:22 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Inherited mostly from DOS.
Fri 22:43:30 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ DOS didn't have dynamic linking
Fri 22:43:41 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and they were already lying to their users
Fri 22:43:48 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ No, I meant most of the OS issues were inherited from DOS.
Fri 22:44:04 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ the big INNOVA~1 of Backdoors95 was that they told people there's no DOS under it and tried to hide it
Fri 22:44:20 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I'm not sure whether you could extend the "Chicago" kernel Windows to support multiple processors.
Fri 22:44:28 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and tried to break some functionality in service of a lie
Fri 22:44:36 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Those were uncommon in the 90s and something they could charge extra for in Windows NT.
Fri 22:44:49 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ NT was also hilariously poorly designed
Fri 22:44:58 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ but that's a given when you have dave cutler design your OS
Fri 22:45:10 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The memory manager was horrible, there were some unofficial patches to get Windows 9x to see and work with memory up to 4 GB properly.
Fri 22:45:17 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But the guy that wrote them is dead now.
Fri 22:45:20 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ the "engineer" who "thought" that "do the opposite of Unix in everything" was a design philosophy and not shitposting
Fri 22:45:25 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And he's probably the only one who knew what he did.
Fri 22:45:52 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ My favorite "Windows-ism" is drive letters.
Fri 22:46:12 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ At first I hated the *nix method because it didn't make sense to me, now I hate the Windows method.
Fri 22:46:19 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ of course NT still had the "just load shit on random addresses and if another process can't link to it because you didn't get lucky then LOL JUST LOAD ANOTHER COPY" idiocy in its dynamic linking before x86_64
Fri 22:46:19 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Because it doesn't tell you anything.
Fri 22:46:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ What kind of storage?
Fri 22:46:25 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Nope.
Fri 22:46:26 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ because that's how things are done at microslop
Fri 22:46:33 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Is it a partition or an actual drive? Nope
Fri 22:46:35 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ "LOL, what's position-independent code?"
Fri 22:46:58 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Windows XP Service Pack 2 supported Position Independent Executables.
Fri 22:47:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But not well.
Fri 22:47:02 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ these fucking idiots got into control of the entire fucking industry
Fri 22:47:03 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and it shows
Fri 22:47:16 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ If you enabled it in parts of the OS, certain things that were not aware of it would fail.
Fri 22:47:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So it was off by default.
Fri 22:47:34 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And almost nobody actually turned it on.
Fri 22:48:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Window Snyder was later hired by Mozilla.
Fri 22:48:02 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ yeah, drive letters are also fucking stupid
Fri 22:48:09 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They called her the chief security something or other.
Fri 22:48:13 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ That was her job title.
Fri 22:48:33 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it's a tiny computer but still waste memory on storing a separate working directory for every single fucking filesystem
Fri 22:48:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They said she was the Program Manager for XP SP2 like that was a good thing.
Fri 22:48:39 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ for a shitty UI
Fri 22:48:51 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ SP2 didn't really fix that many security issues.
Fri 22:49:21 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The malware problem was almost as bad as ever. It closed off some very low hanging fruit and broke how certain malware was spreading, but it didn't do much.

Sun 00:00:40 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ About the only thing that got better is if you pay $2000 for prescriptions out of pocket, they'll quit fucking you so hard.
Sun 00:01:04 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So I paid $88 for the year for a GoodRX Gold prescription card, that's not even insurance.
Sun 00:01:41 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I asked the pharmacist to compare a prescription for Augmentin the doctor gave me, and it was $29.88 through Part D, and $9.08 through GoodRX Gold.
Sun 00:01:50 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It would have been $12.88 with regular GoodRX>
Sun 00:02:28 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So the idea is you pay the $88 a year for Gold and it lowers the drug prices enough that if you're like me and you fill a lot of prescriptions, you'll save more than the $88 the Gold card cost that year.
Sun 00:03:14 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I have 11 prescriptions that need filled four times a year. Plus whatever one off prescriptions I get.
Sun 00:03:41 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So all I really need to save is at least $2 vs the standard GoodRX coupon each fill, and it's usually $3-8.

Sun 05:19:28 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So if you can hit that spend in the time they give you, it's basically free money.
Sun 05:19:32 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ You can just keep it.
Sun 05:19:54 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I've probably made about $5,000 just in credit card welcome bonuses since 2012.
Sun 05:20:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And I started having Mandy do it too so he's probably made at least $3,000 or so.

Sun 05:20:36 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Bank account bonuses are easy too.
Sun 05:20:53 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They usually pay you about $300-400 just to open a checking account and get one direct deposit.
Sun 05:21:02 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "That's right. A new version of GraalVM dropped and there's a fix for a bug that prevented some JS-related objects from being garbage collected.

Sun 05:21:58 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Different cards do different things. But the ones with high category cashback tend to have a 1% catch all rate.
Sun 05:22:15 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The bank hopes that you do all your spending on the card and just take the 1% rate on everything else.
Sun 05:22:25 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But I keep a 2% card around for all that stuff.
Sun 05:22:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ That's why Ben Stein says he has so many.
Sun 05:23:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Every card is almost like a niche product, 5% on travel, 6% on Amazon, 5% at Walmart, 3% on gas stations, 6% at supermarkets, 5% at pet supply stores.
Sun 05:23:54 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So you'll end up with at least 6 credit cards trying to optimize cashback.

Sun 05:26:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Then you keep them all open because of FICO utilization.
Sun 05:26:51 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ If you close a card you lose that much available credit, so the cards that post with a balance at the end of the month hurt your FICO score more, at least temporarily.
Sun 05:27:05 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ FICO scores per card utilization and utilization overall.
Sun 05:27:48 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So if you have $80,000 of available credit across all cards, and one of them has $20,000, and your statement cuts with $2,000 on that one, and none of your other cards show up with anything, your utilization on that card is 10%, and overall is only 2.5%.
Sun 05:28:55 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But if you only have one card and it has a $5,000 limit and your statement cuts with a $2,000 balance due to the bank, your overall and per card is at 40%.
Sun 05:29:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And your FICO score goes down.
Sun 05:29:19 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So FICO punishes people with low limits because it's hard to close a cycle with low utilization.
Sun 05:29:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I have an old Amazon store card with $4500 available credit.
Sun 05:30:12 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I keep it frozen and it just sits there unused but the $4500 available credit makes it harder for my credit report to show much utiiization.
Sun 05:30:55 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It basically tricks out the credit scoring system by limiting FICO score fluctuation.
Sun 05:31:15 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It doesn't directly raise my FICO score, it eliminates volatility and makes it go about as high as it's going to go.
Sun 05:31:59 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ FICO registers high utilization as "distress" and punishes you by tanking your score, at least until the utilization goes down.

Sun 06:32:57 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], So having a higher FICO score means you save money, even when you're not going into debt.
Sun 06:33:06 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Things like car insurance get much less expensive.
Sun 06:33:17 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Better apartments become available.
Sun 06:33:28 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Having bed credit means you can't get a good apartment.
Sun 06:33:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's almost like being on the sex offender list these days.
Sun 06:34:12 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ There's a lot of good reasons to have credit cards that don't involve debt or irresponsible spending.
Sun 06:34:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They're a free way to build a good FICO score, you get welcome bonuses and rebates.
Sun 06:34:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But you must never pay interest or none of that is worth it.
Sun 06:35:01 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I mean, just the gas rebate alone, I think, saves me at least $12 a month.
Sun 06:35:05 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ That's just on gas for the car.
Sun 06:42:32 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], But the only banks that deal with my mother are parasites, scum, loan sharks. There's nothing good about those cards.
Sun 06:42:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ You can't come out ahead. It's impossible. Don't ever sign up for anything from them.
Sun 06:43:13 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ She got a car loan at 25% interest even when things were relatively low interest overall.
Sun 06:43:22 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They gave me a 0% car loan while she was paying 25%.
Sun 06:44:06 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ When you deal with a 25% car loan, a $13,000 used car will end up costing you more than a $27,000 new car at 0%.
Sun 06:44:49 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But she has to ask these people for a 25% loan because she destroys her credit perpetually, and she never saved any money.
Sun 06:44:49 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] back to desk
Sun 06:44:53 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] but leaving now
Sun 06:44:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] marketing time
Sun 06:44:58 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So she has to use loan sharks like CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORP.
Sun 06:45:29 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ She doeesn't know how to not be a victim
Sun 06:45:43 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Whether that's predatory scum banks, or predatory scum ex-husbands.
Sun 06:45:49 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Like Brian "Gonad".
