| IsambardPrince | I had another back spasm. | Feb 06 00:05 |
| IsambardPrince | A friend managed to work it out with his elbow. | Feb 06 00:05 |
| IsambardPrince | These are incredibly painful. | Feb 06 00:05 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I'm going to order a theracane on Amazon. | Feb 06 00:05 |
| IsambardPrince | They look stupid as hell but my physical therapist handed me one and it was great. | Feb 06 00:06 |
| MinceR | "Do you read Sutter Cane?" | Feb 06 00:07 |
| MinceR | it's funny how theracane.com has a carousel of small photos but the entire section of the page rotates out, taking most of the guy standing on the right out, and then back in | Feb 06 00:09 |
| MinceR | he doesn't change, just keeps getting rotated out and back in | Feb 06 00:09 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I got a Citizen Eco-Drive Star Wars watch. LOL | Feb 06 00:12 |
| MinceR | lol | Feb 06 00:12 |
| MinceR | y tho | Feb 06 00:12 |
| IsambardPrince | It has the Rebel Alliance logo in the center and other stuff. | Feb 06 00:12 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, American Express gave me another card. | Feb 06 00:13 |
| IsambardPrince | This one I couldn't resist. | Feb 06 00:13 |
| IsambardPrince | It said "You've been selected." | Feb 06 00:13 |
| MinceR | they gave you an offer you couldn't refuse? | Feb 06 00:13 |
| IsambardPrince | It said that I would get $500 as a sign up bonus. | Feb 06 00:14 |
| IsambardPrince | How do you say no to $500? | Feb 06 00:14 |
| IsambardPrince | You know, I love AmEx. | Feb 06 00:14 |
| MinceR | "i'm too fucking rich to care about $500. give me $500000." | Feb 06 00:14 |
| MinceR | that's how | Feb 06 00:14 |
| IsambardPrince | They've given me $2300 in bonuses alone in the last year, I've never paid them any interest. | Feb 06 00:14 |
| IsambardPrince | And they want to give me another $500. | Feb 06 00:14 |
| MinceR | though i probably wouldn't, because i'm poor | Feb 06 00:15 |
| MinceR | also, AmEx left orbanistan long ago | Feb 06 00:15 |
| IsambardPrince | They have standards. | Feb 06 00:15 |
| IsambardPrince | Orbanistan doesn't. | Feb 06 00:15 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 06 00:16 |
| IsambardPrince | They looked around and saw that most people live in Communist-era concrete shitheaps and drill into floors and bang your car with their car doors. | Feb 06 00:16 |
| IsambardPrince | And that somehow, Orban is worse than Communism. | Feb 06 00:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Then they up and left. | Feb 06 00:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Imagine that. | Feb 06 00:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Russia has plenty of influence over the EU. | Feb 06 00:17 |
| IsambardPrince | They have countries that sell citizenship and with it the right to live and work anywhere in the Eurozone, and they control a member state called Hungary and use it to sabotage and veto things Russia doesn't want. | Feb 06 00:17 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 06 00:19 |
| MinceR | i'm not sure if AmEx cares about that | Feb 06 00:19 |
| IsambardPrince | Well, Dave Ramsey calls them American Excess. | Feb 06 00:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Then there's MASTER card. | Feb 06 00:20 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 06 00:20 |
| IsambardPrince | And Discover bondage. | Feb 06 00:20 |
| IsambardPrince | "Capital One, what's in your wallet? MONEY!" | Feb 06 00:20 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, This one is a business credit card. | Feb 06 00:21 |
| IsambardPrince | So the spend to get the bonus is quite high. | Feb 06 00:21 |
| MinceR | apparently AmEx partnered with the bank with the shittiest customer service (OTP Bank) | Feb 06 00:21 |
| IsambardPrince | But so is the bonus. | Feb 06 00:21 |
| MinceR | and they couldn't get merchants to accept AmEx cards | Feb 06 00:21 |
| MinceR | also the bank whined about high interchange fees | Feb 06 00:21 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, American Express cards are the bank, the network, and the issuer. | Feb 06 00:21 |
| IsambardPrince | But they do license out the network. | Feb 06 00:21 |
| techrights-news | "February 5, 2026. ChatGPT told another old friend to take their life. Someone intervened. Others haven't been so lucky." gemini://gemini.njms.ca/gemlog/peak-oil-high-technology.gmi | Feb 06 00:21 |
| MinceR | also, apparently AmEx has withdrawn from the EU in general | Feb 06 00:21 |
| IsambardPrince | So the network is used by a few other licensed banks. | Feb 06 00:21 |
| IsambardPrince | One is for people with really shitty credit, called Credit One. | Feb 06 00:22 |
| IsambardPrince | If you see something called a Credit One AmEx, they issue low credit line fee harvesters to people with lousy credit. | Feb 06 00:22 |
| IsambardPrince | It's not a real AmEx. | Feb 06 00:22 |
| IsambardPrince | They also license it to Comenity Bank, which issues some decent rewards cards called a Bread AmEx. | Feb 06 00:22 |
| IsambardPrince | There's two different Bread cards. | Feb 06 00:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Then they work with some foreign banks. | Feb 06 00:23 |
| techrights-news | "Home Assistant's Franck Nijhof has announced the release of Home Assistant 2026.2, which brings with it a shift to the new Home Dashboard default display, a rebranding of add-on packages, redesigned quick search, and the ability to opt-in to data gathering for a planned public device database." gemini://tilde.club/~ghalfacree/202602/20260205-homeass.gmi | Feb 06 00:23 |
| IsambardPrince | US issued AmEx cards usually do not work in China. You might have a terminal here or there that can take them if it's places American businessmen go. | Feb 06 00:23 |
| IsambardPrince | But AmEx also partners with Chinese banks to issue American Express cards. | Feb 06 00:23 |
| MinceR | what a wonderful mess | Feb 06 00:23 |
| IsambardPrince | They're red in China, and they give 1% in rewards, which is odd for a Chinese card apparently. | Feb 06 00:24 |
| MinceR | "do you want an AmEx card? here's an AmEx card. only it's not an AmEx card, but an AmEx card." | Feb 06 00:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Most of the cards in the US are blue, except for the metal ones which are green, gold, platinum, and black. | Feb 06 00:24 |
| IsambardPrince | The black one is invite only and only for millionaires on up. | Feb 06 00:24 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, The direct-issue AmEx cards use American Express National Bank. | Feb 06 00:25 |
| IsambardPrince | They're happy to be the network on co-branded cards because they generate merchant fees without taking any credit risk. | Feb 06 00:25 |

| IsambardPrince | You don't have to be a business to get a business credit card. | Feb 06 00:26 |
| MinceR | "do you want an AmEx card instead of this AmEx card? too bad, you can't have an AmEx card, only an AmEx card." | Feb 06 00:26 |
| IsambardPrince | I have a ton of Capital One and Discover cards too. | Feb 06 00:26 |
| IsambardPrince | And a Barclays card. | Feb 06 00:27 |

| IsambardPrince | Then Bitcoin crashed by 44% from its peak. | Feb 06 00:28 |

| IsambardPrince | How's that work? Hey Mr. Banker Gimme a Mortgage. I gots me a million in buttcoin. | Feb 06 00:28 |
| IsambardPrince | Then in 15 months it's only $560,000. | Feb 06 00:28 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], The Medicare scammers are calling the elevators here. | Feb 06 00:32 |
| IsambardPrince | All the elevators have an emergency number, so the light flashes and it's a Medicare scammer. | Feb 06 00:32 |
| IsambardPrince | Usually a robot. | Feb 06 00:32 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, They're Schindler elevators. | Feb 06 00:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Good thing it's not the UK. | Feb 06 00:33 |

| IsambardPrince | Yep | Feb 06 00:33 |
| IsambardPrince | You know, oddly, in old texts they used f in place of s. | Feb 06 00:34 |
| MinceR | no, that's a different letter | Feb 06 00:34 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Long s - Wikipedia | Feb 06 00:34 | |
| IsambardPrince | Is it? | Feb 06 00:34 |
| MinceR | of course my brain still wants to read it as 'f', and it's hilarious | Feb 06 00:34 |
| MinceR | but technically it's a medial s | Feb 06 00:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Congreff has determined that Bill Clinton will tell them why he was in a hot tub with little girls. | Feb 06 00:35 |
| IsambardPrince | But Trump won't. | Feb 06 00:35 |
| MinceR | it's Congrefs | Feb 06 00:35 |
| MinceR | the final s is still s | Feb 06 00:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Oh. | Feb 06 00:35 |
| MinceR | (more accurately Congreſs) | Feb 06 00:35 |
| IsambardPrince | So it's not we the people in Congreff assembled? | Feb 06 00:36 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I got psyched years ago. | Feb 06 00:36 |

| *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights | Feb 06 00:36 | |
| IsambardPrince | And apparently even with all The People, I still emerged alive somehow. | Feb 06 00:36 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, They style that as a work of fiction. | Feb 06 00:37 |
| IsambardPrince | I doubt that all of The People in this state would have approved of their tax money being used to oppress me. | Feb 06 00:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Or even most of them. | Feb 06 00:37 |
| IsambardPrince | If they even knew it was happening at all. | Feb 06 00:37 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, The IRS said we owe them money this year. | Feb 06 00:38 |
| IsambardPrince | So that's going on the credit card. | Feb 06 00:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Might as well get closer to the bonus. | Feb 06 00:38 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, ß was saved by Hitler, according to Wikipedia. | Feb 06 00:49 |
| MinceR | lol | Feb 06 00:49 |
| IsambardPrince | So you can thank him I guess. | Feb 06 00:49 |
| MinceR | another one of his crimes, then | Feb 06 00:50 |
| IsambardPrince | The other Nazis wanted rid of it. | Feb 06 00:50 |
| IsambardPrince | But Hitler stepped in and saved it. | Feb 06 00:50 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I made Brenda from Capital One laugh the other day. | Feb 06 00:52 |
| IsambardPrince | They pre-approved me for a Venture X and then when I gave them my driver's license which it asked for, it said it validated me, yet could not determine if I existed. | Feb 06 00:53 |
| IsambardPrince | I said that's weird. You gave me other credit cards and I existed then. Tell your computer don't flaunt it if it's not gonna give it up. | Feb 06 00:53 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Do you have Capital One in Hungaristan? | Feb 06 01:01 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2] called them vicious. | Feb 06 01:01 |
| IsambardPrince | They're not the most vicious bank. | Feb 06 01:01 |
| IsambardPrince | Any bank gets vicious when you owe them a lot of money you haven't paid. | Feb 06 01:01 |
| IsambardPrince | Citi was a lot more vicious than Capital One. | Feb 06 01:02 |
| MinceR | i don't think we do | Feb 06 01:02 |
| IsambardPrince | Citi was calling me like 12 times a day while I was in their collections department. | Feb 06 01:03 |
| IsambardPrince | They call their collections people your "personal account manager". | Feb 06 01:03 |
| IsambardPrince | I said, "Why didn't I have one of these when I was paying them? Makes me sound important!" | Feb 06 01:03 |
| MinceR | lol | Feb 06 01:03 |
| IsambardPrince | Kia called me 7 times a day. | Feb 06 01:04 |
| IsambardPrince | I said, "Look, I'm broke. I already told you I'm broke. I told you where the car is. Come get it." | Feb 06 01:04 |
| IsambardPrince | They kept calling. | Feb 06 01:04 |
| IsambardPrince | I said, "Can I voluntarily surrender the car?" | Feb 06 01:04 |
| IsambardPrince | They wouldn't let me do that without John signing it too. | Feb 06 01:04 |
| IsambardPrince | So I abandoned it at the dealership, dropped the insurance, took the plates off, threw the keys to the general manager. | Feb 06 01:05 |
| MinceR | citi also largely left orbanistan in 2014~2017 | Feb 06 01:05 |
| IsambardPrince | Called Kia and said "It's sitting on that lot with no plates and uninsured. Get it if you want it." | Feb 06 01:05 |
| IsambardPrince | They got it. | Feb 06 01:05 |
| IsambardPrince | John had to pay $5,000 in repo fees, all my missed payments, and late fees. | Feb 06 01:06 |
| IsambardPrince | Then my responsibility was discharged and he had to make a $12 payment to the bankruptcy dept every time he made a payment. | Feb 06 01:06 |
| IsambardPrince | Eventually it got stolen by "a crackhead" in Seattle and crashed. | Feb 06 01:06 |
| MinceR | from where? | Feb 06 01:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Car values went up because of COVID, so the car was worth more than John owed. | Feb 06 01:07 |
| IsambardPrince | So he calls me "Are you going to sign it over to my insurance company." | Feb 06 01:07 |
| IsambardPrince | I said, "I don't know. I just had to pay $2,000 for an expungement lawyer after paying $2,000 for a criminal defense lawyer a couple years ago." | Feb 06 01:07 |
| IsambardPrince | "How much of that $12,000 is mine?" | Feb 06 01:07 |
| IsambardPrince | So he wouldn't give me any money. | Feb 06 01:08 |
| IsambardPrince | The Kia sat on the insurance company's lot for three months. | Feb 06 01:08 |
| IsambardPrince | He had to keep paying Kia. | Feb 06 01:08 |
| IsambardPrince | Eventually the adjuster threatened to give it back and cancel the claim. | Feb 06 01:08 |
| IsambardPrince | So John sent me $4,000 and I sent him my signature. | Feb 06 01:08 |
| IsambardPrince | Then Kia took the last few payments as an overage and sent them on a check to me. | Feb 06 01:09 |
| IsambardPrince | :) | Feb 06 01:09 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, "I don't know. Sounds like you're about to get what's left of a car back. I hope you have somewhere to put it." | Feb 06 01:10 |
| IsambardPrince | :P | Feb 06 01:10 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 06 01:10 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I thought it was funny. | Feb 06 01:12 |
| IsambardPrince | He was furious in 2020. | Feb 06 01:13 |
| IsambardPrince | Because after Kia got it back they wanted the deficiency balance from me. | Feb 06 01:13 |
| IsambardPrince | And I said, well, you're not getting it from me no matter what you do. | Feb 06 01:13 |

| IsambardPrince | But John works at the TSA at O'Hare, and he has a lot of money for you. Have fun with him. | Feb 06 01:13 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, So then Kia got chased out of their offices because of COVID lockdowns. | Feb 06 01:14 |
| IsambardPrince | And they weren't there to respond to my credit bureau disputes. | Feb 06 01:15 |
| IsambardPrince | So the repossessed car got deleted. | Feb 06 01:15 |

| IsambardPrince | She said "John's calling me and he's really mad because you're destroying his credit by not paying on that car." | Feb 06 01:16 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 06 01:16 |
| IsambardPrince | I said, "That doesn't sound like a probation issue because I was not ordered to do anything regarding a car. Is there something I can help you with?" | Feb 06 01:16 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, The Prosecutor thought my psychiatrist was a therapist, so the order said to go see him and have him write a treatment plan and anything he said was what I had to do to finish probation. | Feb 06 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | I told my attorney "He just does medication management, but they don't know that do they? I think I'll sign this." | Feb 06 01:21 |
| IsambardPrince | So my psychiatrist wrote "He comes to see me once every six months for medication refills and that's the treatment plan. | Feb 06 01:21 |
| MinceR | :) | Feb 06 01:21 |
| IsambardPrince | And I handed it to the probation officer. | Feb 06 01:21 |
| MinceR | the sad part is that that plan is indefinite | Feb 06 01:21 |

| IsambardPrince | They closed the probation and let me go. I also got the court to agree to give me $400 in probation fees back because I finished early. | Feb 06 01:22 |

| IsambardPrince | I threatened an insanity defense, but then never had to use it. | Feb 06 01:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Because at that point they wanted rid of it quickly. | Feb 06 01:24 |
| IsambardPrince | So I got my FOID card back because you can't get the FOID back if you were "convicted" of "a crime of violence" or "were found not guilty by reason of mental defect". | Feb 06 01:24 |
| IsambardPrince | But since I was not convicted, got the charge changed to disorderly conduct, and never used an insanity defense, I appealed and got my FOID back. | Feb 06 01:25 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Disorderly Conduct can mean "fighting" but it's not listed as a violent crime in the FOID Act. | Feb 06 01:25 |
| IsambardPrince | And I was not convicted. | Feb 06 01:25 |

| IsambardPrince | <techrights-news> "Expedia announces 100 job cuts at Austin offices" | Feb 06 02:04 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], I have a comment on that. | Feb 06 02:04 |
| IsambardPrince | American Express currently has an offer where if you use a co-branded link and pay with an AmEx card, the booking is 25% less expensive than the public price. | Feb 06 02:05 |
| IsambardPrince | But it's still more expensive than using Priceline. | Feb 06 02:05 |
| IsambardPrince | So it's not hard to see why Expedia is having problems. | Feb 06 02:05 |
| IsambardPrince | Priceline has great prices especially on opaque bookings and there's always coupons for those too. | Feb 06 02:06 |
| *x-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@kcb99h722ua4g.irc) has joined #techrights | Feb 06 02:06 | |
| IsambardPrince | And they have the Priceline VIP Rewards Credit Card, which gives you automatic VIP Gold (better coupons, priority support, etc.) and 5% back on Priceline.com and 10% off Priceline bookings for Avis or Budget rental cars. | Feb 06 02:06 |
| IsambardPrince | So nobody is going to beat Priceline if you use them like that. | Feb 06 02:07 |
| IsambardPrince | They've gotten to be the biggest online travel agency because nobody beats their prices. | Feb 06 02:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not sure we have Priceline here | Feb 06 02:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Even American Express Travel doesn't beat them even if you're using an American Express travel credit card. | Feb 06 02:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not sure what Priceline even does | Feb 06 02:07 |
| IsambardPrince | And AmEx was basically the OG travel agency/financial services company in America. | Feb 06 02:08 |
| IsambardPrince | They did travel agencies, traveler's checks, all kinds of travel stuff. | Feb 06 02:08 |
| IsambardPrince | And now they're kind of a joke really. | Feb 06 02:08 |
| IsambardPrince | They're better at banking than travel. | Feb 06 02:08 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | Techrights — Bitcoin crash: opportunity or the end game? | Feb 06 02:08 | |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], Even the hotel loyalty programs are not worth using. | Feb 06 02:09 |
| IsambardPrince | None of them are going to beat Priceline even if you value the hotel's points system and member prices. | Feb 06 02:09 |
| IsambardPrince | Whatever cash value they might have, when it costs $113 a night to book that way and only $60 through Priceline as an opaque booking and the credit card, they can't beat their own wholesale inventory they sell to Priceline. | Feb 06 02:10 |
| IsambardPrince | The whole idea is market segmentation, price discrimination. | Feb 06 02:10 |
| IsambardPrince | Even if you get one of the Hilton cards that pays 17 points per dollar and automatic diamond status (so you earn multiples on the booking itself), it wouldn't be cheaper than booking the same Hilton hotel on Priceline. | Feb 06 02:11 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], Basically Priceline is a dumping ground for rooms they don't think they can sell. | Feb 06 02:11 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | Techrights — Blackmail evidence: Debian social engineering exposed in ClueCon 2024 talk on politics | Feb 06 02:11 | |
| IsambardPrince | They tend to throw them at Priceline a month to a few weeks before the date. | Feb 06 02:12 |
| IsambardPrince | Because unsold inventory "spoils" and risks going empty. | Feb 06 02:12 |
| IsambardPrince | This lets them hurry up and make a sale and it's Priceline's problem if they pay and can't move the inventory. | Feb 06 02:12 |
| IsambardPrince | Priceline bookings contractually obligate the hotel to treat you exactly like someone that booked direct. | Feb 06 02:12 |
| IsambardPrince | If they let their own guests do something, they have to let you do it. | Feb 06 02:13 |
| IsambardPrince | Including free breakfast, fitness centers, business centers, pools, everything. | Feb 06 02:13 |
| IsambardPrince | You can even save more on opaque bookings by saying room assigned at check-in. | Feb 06 02:13 |
| IsambardPrince | It varies at the hotel, but like, most of them will have either a king bed or two queens. Or you might get an accessible room. | Feb 06 02:14 |
| IsambardPrince | It's whatever they have when you show up, you can request a certain type at check in if they still have that. | Feb 06 02:14 |
| IsambardPrince | But you might save another 75 cents to $2.50 a night if you're not picky. | Feb 06 02:14 |
| techrights-news | "What exactly the command does depends on the flavor of ex. The first order of business is to know that ex commands can have optional : before them and it's pretty easy to skip over a lot of those." gemini://thrig.me/blog/2026/02/06/valid-ex-commands.gmi | Feb 06 02:14 |
| IsambardPrince | I've done that before, saved $8 on a booking, and got upgraded to a suite that would have cost $60 more direct. | Feb 06 02:14 |
| IsambardPrince | You might also get handicapped rooms, but those are fine too. | Feb 06 02:15 |
| IsambardPrince | Nicer in fact. | Feb 06 02:15 |
| IsambardPrince | Like, extra grab bars in the shower and a shower bench, roll in shower, electronic controls for the blinds. | Feb 06 02:15 |
| MinceR | "I'm always the blind!" | Feb 06 02:16 |
| IsambardPrince | It's a nicer room. You should always get the accessible room if they haven't booked it to someone who needs it. | Feb 06 02:16 |
| MinceR | what if someone who needs tries to book it after you've booked it? | Feb 06 02:16 |
| MinceR | s/needs/needs it/ | Feb 06 02:16 |
| IsambardPrince | That usually doesn't happen. | Feb 06 02:17 |
| IsambardPrince | Because it's assigned at check-in. | Feb 06 02:17 |
| IsambardPrince | This hotel has 16 accessible rooms. | Feb 06 02:17 |
| IsambardPrince | So if you get randomly assigned to one it means that they're not all booked. | Feb 06 02:17 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-arstechnica.com | Neocities founder stuck in chatbot hell after Bing blocked 1.5 million sites - Ars Technica | Feb 06 02:18 | |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, There's very little to lose with room assigned at check-in. | Feb 06 02:19 |
| IsambardPrince | The worst that happens is you get the cheapest room, but you paid less than the cheapest room anyway. | Feb 06 02:19 |
| IsambardPrince | So you might randomly get a suit or an accessible. | Feb 06 02:19 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I asked the manager about late check outs. | Feb 06 02:20 |
| MinceR | ic | Feb 06 02:20 |
| IsambardPrince | They said that their contract with Priceline requires them to let you do 1 PM instead of 11 AM without paying extra. | Feb 06 02:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Because that's what they give their rewards members. | Feb 06 02:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Priceline really is pretty good. | Feb 06 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I think everyone who travels should be using it. | Feb 06 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I've never made an opaque booking where I couldn't easily figure out before I hit the button what the hotel was. | Feb 06 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | But because they take the hotel's name off, they can sell them way cheaper than the hotel, using discounts and coupons. | Feb 06 02:23 |
| admfubar | wait till you see the bill for that international call... https://arstechnica.com/space/2026/02/nasa-will-finally-allow-astronauts-to-bring-their-iphones-to-space/ | Feb 06 02:23 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-arstechnica.com | NASA will finally allow astronauts to bring their iPhones to space - Ars Technica | Feb 06 02:23 | |
| IsambardPrince | Typically, if a hotel is advertising $113, for example, I can get $60 on Priceline. | Feb 06 02:24 |
| IsambardPrince | There's one that advertises about $67-70 on their own site for rewards members. | Feb 06 02:24 |
| IsambardPrince | That one's always on Priceline for $49, and you can take 8% off that with a coupon and get 5% back with the Priceline card. | Feb 06 02:25 |
| IsambardPrince | If you're willing to stay in a Motel 6, they usually advertise a price nobody will beat, but if you show them an AARP card, you can take 10% off that. | Feb 06 02:25 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I've never stayed in a Motel 6. I've always viewed them as more of a place to go when you "need a room" for legal reasons. | Feb 06 02:26 |
| IsambardPrince | You know, like because sex in public is illegal and a $39 motel room is good enough for an hour or two. | Feb 06 02:27 |
| IsambardPrince | :P | Feb 06 02:27 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, A lawyer made me laugh. Someone asked if sex in a locked single stall bathroom was legal because it wasn't a public place. | Feb 06 02:28 |
| IsambardPrince | The lawyer said a motel 6 is $40 and it's $6,000 to hire him to defend you and make that argument. | Feb 06 02:28 |

| Sompi_ | schestowitz[TR2]: Isn't it weird that in 2018 Microsoft released an update that changed the entire CPU target of Windows 7 breaking many systems (it suddenly started requiring SSE2) and at the same time many free software projects started doing the same | Feb 06 10:59 |
| Sompi_ | Rustaceans added that same SSE2 requirement to everything | Feb 06 10:59 |
| Sompi_ | It seems like they are making sure that people cannot use free software as an alternative when proprietary software stops working on their computers | Feb 06 11:00 |
| Sompi_ | At that time many libraries in the typical GNU/Linux userland also started suddenly requiring SSE2 regardless of the build target - even if you try to build it to i686, i586, or even i386, the build scripts still add the SSE2 flag there and it's impossible to disable without making many changes | Feb 06 11:01 |

| Sompi_ | So implementing it in CPUs outside of the intel-amd patent cartel is impossible | Feb 06 11:13 |
| nobody | i am not aware of other vendors anymore nowadays (Via, cyrix etc didn't make any x86_64 iirc) | Feb 06 11:14 |
| Sompi_ | And surely there are more patented things too, especially in x86-64-v3 and -v4 (CMPXCHG16B is -v2) | Feb 06 11:14 |
| Sompi_ | nobody: Yeah, those other vendors are still making pre-SSE2 CPUs because the patents of SSE2 only just expired not so long ago | Feb 06 11:15 |
| Sompi_ | And many important free software projects were already requiring SSE2 when it was restricted by patents | Feb 06 11:15 |
| nobody | although that's not news either, it's been a hack and slay with malicious extensions ever since MMX | Feb 06 11:15 |
| Sompi_ | You couldn't compile Mozilla browsers without it | Feb 06 11:15 |
| nobody | and 3DNow at that time | Feb 06 11:15 |
| nobody | then they're cheating with benchmarks, because optimized code paths (for say MMX) do exist for decades | Feb 06 11:16 |
| nobody | but when they compare old CPUs against news they don't ensure the old optmized code paths are active | Feb 06 11:16 |
| Sompi_ | The usual excuse for those SSE2/AVX2 requirements is "faster memcpys", which is complete bullshit | Feb 06 11:16 |
| nobody | and then compare an old CPU _without_ any optimized code path against new ones with AVX2 - no wonder the newer on is that much greater better whatever | Feb 06 11:17 |
| Sompi_ | New CPUs are unable to read smaller chunks of data than the size of cache line is | Feb 06 11:17 |
| Sompi_ | So the memcpys are not going to be any faster, even if the logical instruction seems to move more data atomically | Feb 06 11:17 |

| nobody | in reality, AVX barely outcompeted SSE, it's marginal, with higher power consumption too | Feb 06 11:18 |
| nobody | even worse, X86_64 is missing something which an ancient DEC VAX (32bit) already offered: general purpose 128bit data types | Feb 06 11:18 |
| nobody | MMX/AVX/SSE etc. are NOT general purpose | Feb 06 11:19 |
| Sompi_ | In anything newer than a 486 those "faster memcpys" really aren't a thing | Feb 06 11:19 |
| nobody | well, of cause a 128bit (dual channel memory) data bus is faster than a 32bit data bus | Feb 06 11:19 |
| Sompi_ | On a 486 rep movsd is twice as fast as rep movsw, but in Pentium Pro and newer there is no difference | Feb 06 11:20 |
| Sompi_ | With Pentium there may be a difference depending on the multiplier of CPU/memory clock | Feb 06 11:20 |
| Sompi_ | But with anything that actually supports SSE2, using logical instructions that copy 64 bits instead of 32 bits is not going to any faster in a loop | Feb 06 11:21 |
| Sompi_ | The CPU always reads one cache line at a time and it's much larger than those SSE2 or AVX2 registers | Feb 06 11:22 |
