[00:15]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: Some facebook post was talking about Windows hybrid boot.
[00:16]	IsambardPrince	That's basically where it starts off by loading a hibernation file it quietly left on disk last time.
[00:16]	IsambardPrince	But with no programs running, so it looks like a clean boot.
[00:16]	IsambardPrince	Unfortunately, this also keeps the state the OS was in, which means that it never really starts over from a clean slate.
[00:16]	MinceR	great idea with a system that needs to be rebooted regularly to make it not run as shittily
[00:16]	IsambardPrince	So it may become very flaky over time.
[00:17]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, Hybrid Boot has been around in some form for years. Can't remember exactly when.
[00:17]	IsambardPrince	Windows 8 maybe?
[00:17]	MinceR	and then the least competent IT department in the universe makes it mandatory (probably via group policy) but sets up an "ai" agent to pester you for not rebooting in two weeks
[00:17]	IsambardPrince	Windows 8 was also when I started seeing a lot of people get into a state where Windows Update wouldn't work at all.
[00:17]	IsambardPrince	And not even "Reset this PC" fixed it.
[00:18]	IsambardPrince	It would show you the updates that were backing up.
[00:18]	IsambardPrince	But it would fail to install any of them with a cryptic error message.
[00:18]	MinceR	well, to be fair, they don't know what a non-cryptic error message is like
[00:19]	MinceR	of course, updates failing to install is a great reason for some brainless IT drone to pester you even more
[00:19]	MinceR	"if only these updates could be installed, the windows PC you're using would be oh so secure, you wouldn't believe how secure it would be!"
[00:35]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: I think I counted over 9,000 individual patches between the three XP service packs and post-SP3 hotfixes, and that doesn't even include the "WEPOS Hack" that kept some updates coming until 2019.
[00:35]	IsambardPrince	And in the end it was still Windows XP.
[00:35]	MinceR	:>
[00:36]	IsambardPrince	Microsoft said don't use the WEPOS Hack because you'd still only be getting hotfixes for the parts of the OS that were in WEPOS.
[00:36]	MinceR	all that updating and it's still only windows
[00:36]	IsambardPrince	And they weren't testing them for compatibility with programs that ran on Windows XP.
[00:36]	IsambardPrince	Just as part of WEPOS.
[00:36]	MinceR	oh no, to be out of the range of microslop testing
[00:36]	MinceR	i wonder what that is like
[00:36]	MinceR	how do they test if they don't notice that outhouse won't list new mail some of the time
[00:37]	IsambardPrince	https://www.zdnet.com/article/registry-hack-enables-continued-updates-for-windows-xp/
[00:37]	TR Bot	hack enables continued updates for Windows XP | ZDNET
[00:37]	MinceR	and that teams will show you a message in a group chat but neither let you open the image attached nor realize that you've seen it
[00:37]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: We gave up trying to get Outlook Mail (on the web) working in GNOME Web (Epiphany).
[00:37]	MinceR	every single microslop product is a mountain of jank but oh no, what if they didn't test it and patch it?!
[00:37]	IsambardPrince	The Epiphany user agent was interpreted as an unknown browser.
[00:37]	IsambardPrince	Triggering a fallback site meant for Internet Explorer 5.5.
[00:38]	MinceR	and since they get to commit to Linux, now Linux is increasingly janky too
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	Because there were several different domains it would switch between and we couldn't tell which one was doing it.
[00:38]	IsambardPrince	Using the Safari agent globally doesn't work because then sites try to send you downloads for the Mac.
[00:39]	IsambardPrince	"We recently became aware of a hack that purportedly aims to provide security updates to Windows XP customers. The security updates that could be installed are intended for Windows Embedded and Windows Server 2003 customers and do not fully protect Windows XP customers. Windows XP customers also run a significant risk of functionality issues with their machines if they install these updates, as they are not tested against Windows XP. 
[00:39]	IsambardPrince	The best way for Windows XP customers to protect their systems is to upgrade to a more modern operating system, like Windows 7 or Windows 8.1."
[00:39]	IsambardPrince	:P
[00:39]	IsambardPrince	Most systems that came out before 2006 couldn't even run Vista.
[00:40]	IsambardPrince	Much less 7 or 8.1
[00:40]	IsambardPrince	That's why they were still on XP.
[00:40]	MinceR	the best security update for windows: disconnect all network interfaces

[05:50]	IsambardPrince	Chasing credit cards is definitely losing some of its luster.
[05:50]	IsambardPrince	The banks seem to be doing three things lately.
[05:52]	IsambardPrince	Lowering sign up bonuses (Barclays cut them from $200 to $100), requiring more spend to get the bonus (American Express raised the Blue Cash Preferred from $2,000 to get the $250 to $3,000 to get it, and most banks are not doing the spend $500 get $200, those types have all gone up to spend $1,000 get $200, except for Capital One), and they're also tightening up approval standards (need higher credit score, lower spending limits if 
[05:52]	IsambardPrince	you get the card, implementing anti-churn policies like Chase 5/24 which has even shown up on some Capital One cards like VentureX, and Credit One's Omni).
[05:53]	IsambardPrince	I suppose four if you count "cards with annual fees are all getting massive annual fee hikes that change the math on whether the card is worth it or not".
[05:54]	IsambardPrince	I've also noticed an uptick in people saying the bank surprised them with a huge credit limit DECREASE recently. or sent them to "financial review" (American Express).

[05:55]	IsambardPrince	Banks are reducing acquisition costs and improving longterm profitability per customer.
[05:56]	IsambardPrince	This has led me to decelerate my credit card churn and go for checking account bonuses, which I can probably do some damage with before the banks slash those too.
[05:57]	IsambardPrince	I had a good run with credit card churn, netting about $6,000 over the past 5 years in new card bonuses. Never paying them any interest.
[05:58]	IsambardPrince	Some banks are already tighting up their checking bonuses. They put in eye watering amounts like $450 and then you find out you have to keep putting in direct deposits and get over $6,000 or else it could be $100 or $250 or something.
[05:59]	IsambardPrince	But a few out there are still like $350-400 and you only need one direct deposit.

[06:00]	IsambardPrince	Banks seem to mostly be done letting people play them and then walk off and not actually bank there.
[06:00]	IsambardPrince	But there's some stragglers.

[06:01]	IsambardPrince	I told her there was one up in Michigan that got a federal firearms dealer license and let you pick out a gun.
[06:02]	IsambardPrince	Michael Moore went to that bank in his Bowling for Columbine movie, and he said "You don't think it's a bad idea to pass out guns at a bank?"
[06:02]	IsambardPrince	After they handed him a rifle for opening up a checking account.
[06:03]	IsambardPrince	He was making fun of the Form 4473 from the ATF, like "What do I put for race? Caucasian?" and "So when this says have I been adjudicated as a mental defective..." and the woman says that would be by a court, and he said "So if I'm just crazy that's fine?"

[06:25]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: The problem is basically this.
[06:26]	IsambardPrince	They (the Federal Reserve, the government, the banking industry, the tech industry, various scammers like cryptocurrency and other nonsense tried to fake growth and valuation for years.
[06:26]	IsambardPrince	Using unsustainable policies like rigged ultra low interest rates and lack of regulation and marketing nonsense.
[06:27]	IsambardPrince	And the result of a decade and a half of this is that we've passed the peak, and now the economy is puking up hyperinflation, unemployment, and debt.
[06:28]	schestowitz[TR2]	right
[06:28]	schestowitz[TR2]	didm you see us debt?
[06:28]	schestowitz[TR2]	for march?

[06:28]	schestowitz[TR2]	even worse due to the war
[06:28]	schestowitz[TR2]	it'll go up another 200bn
[06:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	9 months, 3 tr more in debt
[06:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	that's like 330nb per month 
[06:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	in debt
[06:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	while petrodollar perishes
[06:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	which means the currency loses value
[06:31]	IsambardPrince	Yes, the Iran War is an insanity that's made necessary by the collapse of the US Dollar.
[06:31]	IsambardPrince	If we can't control what currency it's sold in, there will be a "blockade".
[06:33]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: Similar to how the Falklands War was a sign the UK was in serious decline, only far more painful on a global scale.
[06:34]	IsambardPrince	The US is now saying that our weapons stockpiles are badly depleted.
[06:34]	IsambardPrince	No shit, we handed them out like Pez to Ukraine for a while.
[06:34]	IsambardPrince	Then we dumped half of what was left on Iran in a single month.
[06:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	and took some from south korea
[06:35]	IsambardPrince	It takes a lot longer than a month to restock thus stuff. Try about 5-6 years even if we didn't use more.
[06:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	apparently thaasd of whatever it's called too
[06:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	not thaaad\
[06:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	it's some air defence system
[06:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	us denies it moved that from korea
[06:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	also, they hid how much damage was done to us bases in the gulf
[06:35]	IsambardPrince	It costs a hell of a lot more to use THAAD than Iran pays to launch the stuff it shoots down.
[06:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	very expensive tio repair
[06:35]	IsambardPrince	So they grind us down.
[06:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	russiia is aid to have helped iran aim at those
[06:36]	schestowitz[TR2]	us kept pretending all the missiles went astray
[06:36]	schestowitz[TR2]	and uae, qtarr ewtc criminalised talking about it
[06:36]	IsambardPrince	Yes, Russian Intelligence helped Iran take out a US AWACS plane.
[06:36]	IsambardPrince	One we cannot even replace because they don't make them anymore.
[06:37]		*asacengyet (~asacengyet@8pzu2fcsusfzc.irc) has joined #techrights
[06:37]	IsambardPrince	They shut down the production saying there'd be a replacement.....and the replacement was supposed to happen ten years ago.
[06:38]	IsambardPrince	The US isn't quite as bad as Russia at depending on obsolete stuff, but we have a lot of it, and with no replacement and no ability to make more.
[06:38]	IsambardPrince	Losing one hurts more if you can't replace it.
[06:39]	IsambardPrince	It costs Russia very little to give Iran intelligence and spy satellite photos.
[06:39]	IsambardPrince	And China too.
[06:39]	IsambardPrince	They haven't done anything to discourage Iran, they're using it as a proxy because they don't want to attack us themselves.
[06:40]	IsambardPrince	And in the mean time, China benefits greatly from the war, because the longer it goes on and the higher the prices get, the more "clean energy" it can sell into other countries, especially European countries.
[06:40]		*asacengyet has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
[06:40]	IsambardPrince	They're pretty much energy starved and have to consider everything at this point.
[06:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	<IsambardPrince> Yes, Russian Intelligence helped Iran take out a US AWACS plane.
[06:41]	IsambardPrince	No matter what it costs.
[06:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	like ukraine did speration spiderweb or whatever?
[06:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	where they launched drones from within?

[06:42]		*asacengyet (~asacengyet@spnyw2fxpi54g.irc) has joined #techrights
[06:42]	IsambardPrince	Ukraine managed to take out like 8-9 Russian heavy bombers that looked pretty well destroyed to me.
[06:43]	IsambardPrince	Losing that many B-52s would seriously harm the US Air Force because again, NOBODY MAKES NEW ONES.
[06:43]	IsambardPrince	They keep the airframe serviceable and upgrade it, but no new ones.
[06:43]	IsambardPrince	So spiderweb was a serious blow to the Russian military.
[06:44]	IsambardPrince	The Russians used to regularly fly their heavy bombers near the air defense identification zone near Alaska.
[06:44]	IsambardPrince	We couldn't shoot them down because that's still in international airspace, barely.
[06:44]	IsambardPrince	But there have been less of those flights after spiderweb.
[06:45]	IsambardPrince	The war is going so badly for Russia that they said they will have no military hardware on the streets of Moscow, at all, for the first time, in this year's Victory Day parade.
[06:45]		*darwin has quit (Quit: peace be with you)

[23:12]	IsambardPrince	She gets sued by another credit card company.
[23:12]	IsambardPrince	Success?
[23:12]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: I told the guy I'm dating about it and we laughed.
[23:12]	IsambardPrince	I said you don't JUST default on one credit card.
[23:13]	IsambardPrince	What happens is eventually when you have so many that are maxed out, you can't afford even the minimum payments anymore, so you don't pay any of them.
[23:13]	IsambardPrince	Then it takes the credit card companies about 3-4 years to start the suits.
[23:13]	IsambardPrince	So Capital One may be the first, but I guarantee they won't be the last.
[23:13]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: Nothing in the court files about a bankruptcy yet.
[23:14]	IsambardPrince	It looks like she's attempting to stall them by demanding arbitration.
[23:14]	IsambardPrince	So the next step is the court has her back in there with Capital One's lawyer on June 26th and they report on how the arbitration went.
[23:14]	IsambardPrince	If she didn't participate in the arbitration then it goes back to trial.
[23:15]	IsambardPrince	If  she did go and they ruled against her, then she agreed to be bound by that instead of the trial and the court orders whatever the arbitrators decided.
[23:16]	IsambardPrince	Demanding arbitration kight buy you a few months, but it means you go to a rubber stamp body that is being paid by Capital One to decide on a contract written by Capital One's lawyers which is the credit card agreement, so you know what they'regoing to decide.
[23:17]	IsambardPrince	Arbitration is basically the "bonehead maneuver".
[23:17]	IsambardPrince	It seems like you get another few months with nobody breathing down your neck, but it turns a legal proceeding into something operated by corporate lawyers.
[23:18]	IsambardPrince	It may not even be her that requested it.
[23:18]	IsambardPrince	It may not even be her that requested it.
[23:19]	IsambardPrince	Some contracts for credit cards have forced arbitration clauses.
[23:19]	IsambardPrince	You can refuse by writing to the bank within 45 days, with AmEx for example, but if you refuse then they just close the credit card.
