Fri 02:12:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Hours after news broke that American Express was suing Bhad Bhabie for nearly $700,000, the outspoken media personality denied the allegations in a new statement to The Shade Room.
Fri 02:12:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Sh-t not true," she told the publication. "Where do they get this sh-t from?"

Fri 02:19:20 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] I get the CDs for like 20 us cents each
Fri 02:19:24 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and they are the good albums

Fri 02:19:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yeah, they started taking them out of cars, to save $20.
Fri 02:19:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then they raised the price of the car another $10,000.

Fri 02:21:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Couldn't be easier to use
Fri 02:21:45 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] cassette tapes have perils
Fri 02:21:53 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] like, good luck running a repeat on a song
Fri 02:22:04 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and the tapes can rip apart
Fri 02:22:13 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] the spools age not too well
Fri 02:22:18 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] quality-wise
Fri 02:22:34 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] I still have some old tapes, but the appliance that played them is worn out
Fri 02:22:40 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] it still works for tuner and aux
Fri 02:22:49 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] but the optical drive has several issues
Fri 02:22:53 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and the tape also
Fri 02:22:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I still have tapes. They work.
Fri 02:23:02 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] it's over 30 years old
Fri 02:23:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I was listening to Meatloaf the other day.
Fri 02:23:19 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] side a or b?
Fri 02:23:21 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] :)
Fri 02:23:28 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] remember sides...
Fri 02:23:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yeah.
Fri 02:23:51 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] some systems let you track progress
Fri 02:23:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You could flip the tape or just wait for the car deck to switch it for you.
Fri 02:24:00 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] so you roughly know how much to go back
Fri 02:24:04 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] to play the same thing again
Fri 02:24:08 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] some didn't even have that
Fri 02:24:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Which did automatically rewind the other side as it played B.
Fri 02:24:16 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and the battery life determined how fast they span
Fri 02:24:23 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] so you could not count the records
Fri 02:24:27 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] *seconds either
Fri 02:24:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I had a Walkman.
Fri 02:25:00 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] the two-way (side) players were more prone to issues
Fri 02:25:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Still have it.
Fri 02:25:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Had to disassemble it a while back.
Fri 02:25:19 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] because there were morre moving mechanical parts
Fri 02:25:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They sell kits to fix all the common things that break.
Fri 02:25:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It has a belt.
Fri 02:25:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That finally broke after 30 years.
Fri 02:25:46 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] my walkman got stolen
Fri 02:25:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So while I was in there anyway I cleaned it out really well too.
Fri 02:25:49 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] in 2003
Fri 02:25:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] also my discman
Fri 02:26:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3], I also use a Sansa from 2009.
Fri 02:26:19 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] 2009 is not so old
Fri 02:26:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I had to take that apart to replace the rechargeable battery. It's "non-serviceable" but it can be done.
Fri 02:26:27 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] it's when we had IRC for the site
Fri 02:26:39 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and when we protested companies like ASUS defecting
Fri 02:26:50 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] mp3 PMPs are late 90s stuff
Fri 02:26:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I also overwrote the firmware with some that understands Opus, Monkey's Audio, Apple Lossless, tons of things the unit doesn't officially support.
Fri 02:26:59 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] I bought one at dixons in 2000, IIRC
Fri 02:27:04 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] it had justb 32 MB of storage
Fri 02:27:07 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] enough for about 7 songs
Fri 02:27:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I had an MP3 player with 32 MB on it.
Fri 02:27:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It doesn't support USB.
Fri 02:27:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ it didn't exist.
Fri 02:28:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You had to hook it up to a parallel port.
Fri 02:28:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It could only be used with Windows software that wasn't compatible with XP.
Fri 02:28:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's how terrible this thing was.
Fri 02:28:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you have an old computer with Windows 98, you could still use it.
Fri 02:29:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's no point.
Fri 02:29:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Takes a long time to sync and only holds an album or two of low quality files.
Fri 02:29:39 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ Wayne Williams of BetaNews still links to his Twitter... ahem X... account. But he has not posted since 2023. Which means he still gave it a short for over a year after MElon takeover.
Fri 02:29:50 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ (a shot)
Fri 02:30:28 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ It's good to see BetaNews implicitly admitting that slopfarming failed them. They took some 3 people back onboard. Good.
Fri 02:31:45 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ Saying you can emulate and thus replace human writers with bots is like saying porn obviates the need for sex or a pipe down your throat means we don't need to prepare or consume any food anymore.
Fri 02:32:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I remember pre-USB. There was just mno good way to store a lot of data off the computer. Maybe if you had a ZIP drive. but good luck finding anyone else who had them.
Fri 02:32:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Some PCs came with one built in.
Fri 02:32:33 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ People always learned to reject garbage, even if corporations shoved it down their throat. The question was, how long before it happened (overcoming deceit, marketing, hype)
Fri 02:33:23 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] IsambardPrince: they use LAN or other ports
Fri 02:33:26 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] i am older than you
Fri 02:33:30 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] i remember what we did
Fri 02:33:35 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] it was not hard
Fri 02:33:43 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and no need for floppy disks
Fri 02:33:50 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] we also had cd-roms
Fri 02:33:59 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] by that point most PCs had a drive
Fri 02:34:12 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] for some it was RW
Fri 02:34:22 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] not cheap but was becoming widespread
Fri 02:34:45 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] to make a CD for my girlfriend I'd send a friend some CDs and tell him which tracks to burn onto the blank
Fri 02:34:48 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] buy blanks
Fri 02:34:52 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] give CDs
Fri 02:35:09 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] pay someone to burn the tracks you like to the blanks
Fri 02:35:15 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and they still wok btw
Fri 02:35:18 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] i checked weeks ago
Fri 02:35:25 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] CDs from mid 90s
Fri 02:35:29 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] from a 1990s CD burner
Fri 02:35:48 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] no bumps, maybe CRCs have that covered
Fri 02:37:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You might have had a CD-ROM I don't think we got a CD-RW drive until 1998.
Fri 02:37:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So until then we could only use discs that were pre-recorded.
Fri 02:37:38 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] wrong
Fri 02:37:48 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] but my friend has it residentially easrly
Fri 02:37:55 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] because his dead was deep into tech
Fri 02:37:58 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] last i checked he worked in SAP
Fri 02:38:06 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] *his dad
Fri 02:38:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Nobody was using writable CDs much here until the late 90s.
Fri 02:38:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And they were pretty expensive.
Fri 02:38:26 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] right
Fri 02:38:29 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] but they existed
Fri 02:38:31 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] not cheap
Fri 02:38:37 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] check MS Wikipedia
Fri 02:38:39 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] I guess
Fri 02:38:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Eventually you could get then in spindles of 100 for a better price, per disc.
Fri 02:39:09 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] one common issue was
Fri 02:39:13 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] many albums had fillers
Fri 02:39:19 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] so you needed to make collections
Fri 02:39:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It says released in 1988.
Fri 02:39:25 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] a bit from this, a little from that
Fri 02:39:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yeah our first drive was also a CD-RW drive.
Fri 02:39:32 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] my g/f also made me a CD
Fri 02:39:39 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] around 1999
Fri 02:39:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So it made more sense to get a bunch of CD-RW discs.
Fri 02:40:31 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] " Philips and Ricoh will bring their CD-RW drives to market in early 1997"
Fri 02:40:40 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] "Prices are expected to be just below $1,000 per unit. Later in the year, when Hewlett-Packard, Mitsubishi, and Sony introduce their products, prices are expected to drop to under $800 per unit. In 1998, prices should drop to $500 or less."
Fri 02:40:47 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] https://librarytechnology.org/document/5501
Fri 02:40:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I don't recall it costing $1,000.
Fri 02:41:01 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] that's a lot for 1998.
Fri 02:41:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I don't think my dad would have bought one.
Fri 02:41:09 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] 1k when it was new
Fri 02:41:15 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] the few who had these found demand
Fri 02:41:19 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] people like me paying them
Fri 02:41:24 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] to make CDs for us
Fri 02:41:36 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] we also used BBS for downloads
Fri 02:41:41 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] in mid and early 1990s
Fri 02:41:49 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] many connections were too slow
Fri 02:41:53 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] PCs came without netyworking

Fri 02:42:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yeah, I recall we just happened to always be lucky enough to be close enough to dial in somewhere close to 56k

Fri 02:44:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ v.92 was really stretching what you could transfer over a plain phone line.
Fri 02:44:45 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] a lot better than your average SSD
Fri 02:45:03 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] "BD-R (dye or non-dye, single layer or dual layer) 5 to 10 years"
Fri 02:45:05 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] lol
Fri 02:45:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ To do better than that you'd need to get ISDN or DSL.
Fri 02:45:10 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] BD is THAT bad?
Fri 02:45:23 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] "DVD-RW (erasable DVD) 5 to 10 years

Fri 02:45:28 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] I was always sceptical of DVD
Fri 02:45:37 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] I still use non-DVD blanks
Fri 02:45:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I've ran into like one disc that doesn't play in my whole stack.
Fri 02:45:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It plays until the layer change.
Fri 02:46:04 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] "One key to preserving information on optical discs, magnetic tapes and magnetic disks is to make copies. Ideally, three copies of the information should be created on at least two different types of storage media and one of the copies should be stored off-site.

Fri 02:46:04 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] "
Fri 02:46:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So I got a refund from the seller, bought the same movie on Blu Ray on Amazon.
Fri 02:46:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Blu Ray should hold up longer.
Fri 02:46:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It has that durabis hard coating.
Fri 02:46:33 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] "Date modified: 2020-01-07"
Fri 02:46:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You practically have to take a fork to the disc to damage the data layer.
Fri 02:46:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's hard to scratch.
Fri 02:46:56 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] so my CDs will still work when I am dead
Fri 02:47:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ My guess is that Blu Ray discs can probably last about 50-60 years, maybe longer.
Fri 02:47:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ In theory.
Fri 02:47:41 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] look above
Fri 02:47:45 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] it says 5-10 years
Fri 02:47:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Accelerated wear testing showed a lot of DVDs could last that long.
Fri 02:47:48 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] that's nothing
Fri 02:47:59 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] after that you are at luck'ss mercy
Fri 02:48:08 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and with drm on top any corruption would be magnified
Fri 02:48:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I have Blu Ray discs from the launch that still play fine.
Fri 02:48:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That was nearly 20 years ago.
Fri 02:48:36 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] good luck finding BD players
Fri 02:48:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ DVDs have DRM too.
Fri 02:48:45 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] IIRC, even sony stopped making thoses
Fri 02:48:47 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] (recently)
Fri 02:48:52 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] yes, DVDs suck also

Fri 02:55:59 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] but without doing the BIG JOBs... that need doing
Fri 02:56:03 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] like if you work in walmart
Fri 02:56:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It needed resurfacing five years ago.
Fri 02:56:17 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and instead of cleaning or clearing clogged up toilets
Fri 02:56:24 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] you change all the soaps in the dispensers
Fri 02:56:34 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] because let's face it, nobody wants the literal shit joib
Fri 02:56:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yeah, he said it took this long to fix the parking lot because the city is slow to issue "permits".
Fri 02:56:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They have to permit putting down blacktop?
Fri 02:57:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's the first I've heard of such a thing.

Fri 02:57:28 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] or not yet?
Fri 02:57:48 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] it does not cos much to train a dentist
Fri 02:57:55 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] it's the insurance that costs a lot
Fri 02:58:06 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] when things go wrong and a lawsuit gets filed
Fri 02:58:32 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] a man holding a tool and someone managing drugs is not an expensive... not as much as they charge
Fri 02:58:33 │ 〖admfubar〗 │ and this one... https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8747501/
Fri 02:58:39 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] so they don't solve a real problem
Fri 02:58:48 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] like saying you get get massage from robots
Fri 02:58:54 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] not many people would pay for it
Fri 02:59:28 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] you could even go to place where you pay 1 dollar for a haircut
Fri 02:59:32 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] no need for robots
Fri 02:59:35 │ 〖admfubar〗 │ ever see a massage chair? or a meegan bed?
Fri 02:59:40 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] human labour is not so scarce

Fri 03:12:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Just fill it in.
Fri 03:13:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ My guess is that at the rate of collapse it may fall in, in 6-10 years?
Fri 03:13:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But that's a guess.
Fri 03:14:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's spots where there's really nothing much that supports the parking lot.
Fri 03:14:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Whoever built this place did a really bad job.
Fri 03:16:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's no way to fix this properly in two days.

Fri 03:17:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The good news is if I had to, I could drive through the backyard and out through the parking lot next door if a sinkhole opens where I think it will.
Fri 03:17:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I make sure to avoid parking there or driving on it.
