[00:20]	nobody	wikipedia sais it was Julian Assange who hacked into Nortel early 90s
[00:21]	nobody	if that's true, this resembles more the act of industrial espionage than the activity of a journalist
[00:21]	nobody	and, supposedly Huawei had benefit most from this hack, which soaked all technical documents
[00:22]	nobody	later GAFAM and friends were praying on the patents since Nortel filed bancruptcy
[00:41]	nobody	this bancryptcy filing was the biggest in history, 2billions soaked by lawyers alone
[00:42]	nobody	little later Assange, official reading of this, he was held in custody for disclosing US military activities and war crimes
[00:43]	nobody	yet, he has too been involved in the most prominent case of industrial espionage, unpreceeded in history
[00:51]	IsambardPrince	Bankruptcy isn't pleasant of course. That's why rich people hide behind shell companies and stuff.
[00:52]	IsambardPrince	If they screw up, it's a company that files bankruptcy and winds down.
[00:52]	IsambardPrince	Their personal credit is still good.
[00:52]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: Yeah, if that apartment hadn't been run into the ground by an incompetent slumlord Mandy and I might still be living there.
[00:53]	IsambardPrince	As it was it might have been the last straw.
[00:53]	IsambardPrince	He was very angry when I said we had to get out of there.
[00:53]	IsambardPrince	He stated "We had to move just because you were afraid of some tiny little roaches."

[18:35]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: You can't give someone class or character no matter what their income level is or how many of what kind of degrees they have on the wall.
[18:36]	IsambardPrince	People mistakenly conflate those things with class and character, and quite often you're just dealing with a person who is trash with money.
[18:36]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: Here's something I wrote earlier.
[18:36]	IsambardPrince	"I remember what happened in the 2008 recession and the 2020 recession when people were just sitting around letting things get worse. It took a while, but they did.
[18:36]	IsambardPrince	In 2008, eventually the banks got them out and sued them and eventually the government wasn't going to extend their UI checks anymore so playing games and pretending to look for work wasn't going to cut it.
[18:36]	IsambardPrince	In 2020 it was the same thing. People who could pay rent saw that the government was stopping the evictions for nearly two years so people who could pay weren't paying because they saw that other people weren't paying.
[18:36]	IsambardPrince	And the problem with a moral hazard is that when you do the bad things that you see other people do, eventually when everything goes back to normal and the government says "Okay, you can get all these people out now.", the people with unpaid rent because buying big screen TVs and playstations and sitting around smoking dope from the dispensery was more fun have a big problem, but the people like me who paid the rent even though it was 
[18:37]	IsambardPrince	burdensome, we don't have a problem.
[18:37]	IsambardPrince	Don't do what everyone else is doing. Focus on what you're doing."
[18:38]	IsambardPrince	People who chose to stop paying rent in 2020 all got evicted in 2022.
[18:38]	IsambardPrince	At the same timee.
[18:38]	schestowitz[TR2]	pre-piyush times
[18:38]	IsambardPrince	And even people who didn't join them got to deal with the results of bad behavior stemming from a government program.

[18:39]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: Piyush is averaging an eviction every 2-3 months.
[18:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	then ruins the place and poison itt
[18:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	*ruin
[18:39]	IsambardPrince	And each eviction has cost him four months rent plus taking them to court which was another $1200.
[18:39]	IsambardPrince	So you might as well say every 3 months he has to deal with another turd that cost him 5 months rent.
[18:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	but he savees a buck

[18:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	which is "ghetto people"
[18:40]	IsambardPrince	He is obviously not screening them even a little bit.

[18:41]	IsambardPrince	I had a discussion with Mark about this one.
[18:41]	IsambardPrince	I told him there's no reason why he has to panic about me moving out. I said I would pay him until August 31st and that's what's going to happen.
[18:42]	IsambardPrince	I said "I know that in your position you deal with a lot of people who sign something, don't pay you, and slip out in the middle of the night."
[18:42]	IsambardPrince	He said "constantly".

[22:32]	IsambardPrince	Run on battery until 9 PM.
[22:35]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: There's two programs. Peak Time Savings. No extra cost for not reducing usage. Just savings if you do.
[22:36]	IsambardPrince	There's another called hourly pricing. With hourly pricing, they give you an estimate for how much power will cost the next day, but it's only an estimate.
[22:36]	IsambardPrince	Instead of a fixed rate, you could end up paying anything. Which is dangerous when there's a deadly heat wave and you can't turn your AC back on no matter how hot it gets.
[22:39]	IsambardPrince	They sent me a letter showing me how much I would have saved under Hourly one time. I said "Okay, so on that particular year nothing horrible happened. Now we have all these AI data centers and they're doing weird things and you want me on variable pricing while they use all the power and make things spike above the fixed rate."
[22:41]	IsambardPrince	They showed me years where demand was skewed because COVID shut all the businesses down and people were trapped at home while government spending was the only economic activity left. Those are not typical years.

[22:51]	MinceR	(or even the kernel for the installer)
[22:51]	MinceR	(or even the bootloader for the installer)
[22:51]	IsambardPrince	There were OEMss selling XP systems with 128 MB.
[22:51]	MinceR	(i'm kidding, i know they don't handle errors)
[22:52]	IsambardPrince	Even early on I didn't want to use it with less than 512 MB.
[22:52]	IsambardPrince	Although 1 GB was better.
[22:52]	IsambardPrince	They have a very expansive definition of what Windows can work on so they can sell more computers even cheap ones that are very bad.
[22:53]	IsambardPrince	The reality is you need 5-10 times more RAM or it won't run very well.
[22:53]	IsambardPrince	When they did Vista they said 1 GB was enough.
[22:53]	IsambardPrince	You really needed like 4 GB.
[22:54]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: When I uploaded documents to my food stamp case last night, one they said they needed was my lease.
[22:54]	IsambardPrince	Which is 87 pages long in a PDF.
[22:54]	IsambardPrince	It was almost 13 MB
[22:54]	IsambardPrince	When I uploaded it, the system complained that it was over 2 MB.
[22:55]	IsambardPrince	So I converted it to grayscale and reduced the image quality to minimum and then commented "The text should be legible but thanks to your 2 MB file limit I had to use extreme compression on the images, so the government-mandated warnings about radon and lead paint and such which are like half of the lease probably look bad now."
[22:56]	IsambardPrince	"Please consider raising your requirements past the floppy disk era."
[22:57]	MinceR	to which their response presumably was "well, look at mr. fancypants. i'll have you know we still use floppy disks here at the office!"
[22:58]	IsambardPrince	The last time I was there they had Dell workstations with Windows XP in 2016.
[22:58]	IsambardPrince	With floppy disk drives.
[22:58]	IsambardPrince	The "ABE" system never got modernized.
[22:58]	IsambardPrince	It just got migrated to SalesFarce Single Sign On.
[22:59]	MinceR	lol @ dHell "workstation"
● Jul 02
[23:00]	MinceR	"see, if we call the most cheaply built pc we could shit together that can barely manage to power on a 'workstation', the dumbasses buy a lot more of it!"
[23:00]	MinceR	my dHell inspiron 9400 was a pile of shit, but it's still categories better than what they sell as 'latitude' nowadays
[23:01]	IsambardPrince	I remember trying to upgrade the RAM on one and pushing down broke the retainer clips off.
[23:02]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: Acer is worse.
[23:02]	IsambardPrince	I rebuilt a PC using an Acer Predator case.
[23:02]	IsambardPrince	To get the graphics card to go in, I had to cut into the case.
[23:02]	MinceR	is that a desktop or a laptop?
[23:02]	IsambardPrince	Then I ended up creating a custom cooling system.
[23:03]	IsambardPrince	I put a giant fan on the front using self tapping screws to create positive air pressure to push air out the fans and holes in the back faster.
[23:03]	IsambardPrince	So heat wouldn't accumulate from the GPU that barely fit.
[23:04]	IsambardPrince	Tossed the hard drive and replaced with an SSD, didn't buy the $10 adapter and just taped it into the bay.
[23:22]	IsambardPrince	This laptop still runs for about 12 hours on the battery.
[23:23]	IsambardPrince	It's a laptop from 2016 that I put a no name battery from Amazon in back in 2021.

[23:56]	nobody	my main computer is an AMD A10 5700 with 16GiB DDR3-1866
[23:57]	nobody	it's not too bad, even when it's more than 10years old
[23:58]	nobody	the integrated GPU is good enough, quadcore cpu does what it should when compiling things
[23:58]	nobody	i've ported and tested the mainboard to coreboot, which even works with win7 although that's "not supported" officially
[23:58]	nobody	it too works just fine with linux-tcc (2.4) kernel and latest linux alike

[23:59]	nobody	using windows7 as hypervisor OS sucks however
