[04:26]	IsambardPrince	There have been at least three projects called Harmony. Including a free replacement for Java that stalled out and was missing a bunch of APIs and was buggy, a reverse engineering of the iPod sync protocol, and an abortive replacement for Qt.

[04:29]	IsambardPrince	"Trump's 145% tax on goods imported from China is making fireworks prohibitively expensive, just as retailers are stocking up for the July 4 holiday. Virtually all consumer fireworks come from China, and Indiana is a major recipient thanks to free-for-all laws enabling amateur pyrotechnicians to purchase miniature explosive devices and detonate them every day until midnight from June 29 to July 9."
[04:29]	IsambardPrince	I remember when fireworks were illegal in Indiana like they still are in Illinois.
[04:29]	IsambardPrince	The Illinois ban works about as well as the Indiana one did.
[04:30]	IsambardPrince	The Indiana law said you couldn't set them off in Indiana, not that you couldn't have them in Indiana or buy them or sell them in Indiana.
[04:30]	IsambardPrince	So you signed a form saying you'd take them out of Indiana to set them off, then nobody actually did.
[04:30]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Mom always bought be fireworks to set off. The good "out of state" ones.
[04:31]	IsambardPrince	Like bottle rockets and roman candles.
[04:31]	IsambardPrince	I usually set them off unsupervised out in the middle of the cul de sac.
[04:32]	IsambardPrince	We had this nosey neighbor lady that called the police on me and they just drove by and one leaned his head out of the squad car and asked me to please stop setting them off.
[04:32]	IsambardPrince	But what he actually said was please stop setting them off in the street.
[04:32]	IsambardPrince	So I told him I would, and I went out to the ditch in our back yard and continued setting them off.
[04:33]	IsambardPrince	I didn't lie. I said I would quit setting them off in the street.
[04:34]	IsambardPrince	The world was full of women like that back then. The husband worked and the woman never left the house.
[04:35]	IsambardPrince	So all she did was cook and clean and read magazines and figure out ways to spend the husband's money.
[04:35]	IsambardPrince	But those sorts were getting pretty old by the time I was a child, so their children had moved out and there was nothing for the woman to do anymore really.
[04:35]	IsambardPrince	The husband was usually retired too.
[04:36]	IsambardPrince	Back when you could retire.
[04:36]	IsambardPrince	Social Security doesn't pay much because it's a relic from a time when companies were expected to continue providing for their former employees through the pension plan.

[07:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	IsambardPrince: typos above?
[07:46]	IsambardPrince	I didn't see any.
[07:47]	IsambardPrince	Those tariff price hikes are catastrophic to something like Xbox. It's something people don't even need. They're not even just limiting these $200 and $250 price hikes to the damn console.
[07:47]	IsambardPrince	But to plastic discs with games, or downloaded games with DRM that gon't get manufactured and imported on discs at all.
[07:48]	IsambardPrince	It costs Microsoft less than ever to distribute games. They just make you download it into a console which has no other purpose than DRM which now costs $250 more in one go than it did before.
[07:48]	IsambardPrince	And so they raise the price on games by something like $10-$20 each too? 
[07:49]	IsambardPrince	To compensate for the $0 it costs to put them on media, pay retailers, etc. 
[07:49]	IsambardPrince	Right.
[07:49]	IsambardPrince	They don't even pay that anymore so they could lower prices if they wanted to on the games and still come out level.
[07:50]	IsambardPrince	So where's the justification for $80 games if you're not even burning the discs in Mexico and putting them on a truck and selling them at a store?
[07:50]	IsambardPrince	There's no costs at all. No tariffs.
[07:50]	IsambardPrince	It's greedflation.
[07:51]		*whatA_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
[07:52]	IsambardPrince	I categorically refuse to buy something that has no other purpose than to download software that I pay that much for, then prevent me from putting it on another computer.
[07:52]	IsambardPrince	I got burned pretty badly on the Xbox 360 with all the red rings of death until Microsoft replaced like 8 of them, I think under warranty.
[07:52]	IsambardPrince	Then the replacement died too a few weeks later.
[07:53]	IsambardPrince	Then I could never keep it running long enough to win a game so I sold it on Craigslist.
[07:53]	IsambardPrince	Then Microsoft kept charging my credit card for Xbox live and wouldn't even cancel it until I managed somehow to talk to the VP of Xbox.
[07:54]	IsambardPrince	I'm done. I think I ended up replacing it with a Playstation 2 Slimline I got at a huge discount because the console was on its way out of the stores.
[07:54]	IsambardPrince	I started picking up PS2 games because there were plenty of used games coming up in secondary markets.
[07:54]	IsambardPrince	So I just went to PS2. The graphics weren't as good but the consoles didn't break.
[07:55]	IsambardPrince	You can't even buy used games for half price (or less) with the new Xbox consoles.
[07:55]	IsambardPrince	So there's no getting out of this with your teeth if you commit to Microsoft.

[08:00]	IsambardPrince	There was a lot of value in the movie theater in that downturn.
[08:00]	IsambardPrince	3-4 hours of movie for a small amount of money, in air conditioning you didn't have at home.
[08:01]	IsambardPrince	It costs over $17 a ticket now unless you go on the day all the "ghetto people" do.
[08:01]	IsambardPrince	:D
[08:01]	IsambardPrince	And what? $26 for two drinks and a popcorn?
[08:01]	IsambardPrince	That's an expensive date night.
[08:02]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Or you can just toss in a Blu Ray disc at home and make popcorn and get drinks yourself if you want them.
[08:02]	IsambardPrince	The Blu Ray discs cost as little as one-third of one movie ticket.
[08:02]	IsambardPrince	The movies are dying and there's many reasons.
[08:02]	IsambardPrince	The movies barely run over an hour now, they're not good.
[08:03]	IsambardPrince	To see the really short not good movie, you have to fork over more than many people make in an hour, per person.
[08:03]	IsambardPrince	(Not counting refreshments.)
[08:03]	IsambardPrince	If you do see something that takes 2 or 2.5 hours, good luck making it without needing to piss.
[08:03]	IsambardPrince	And there's no pause button, so you have to run and miss 5 minutes of the movie.

[08:22]	IsambardPrince	Then another dentist said he actually cracked the tooth and he's going to need a root canal or something.
[08:22]	IsambardPrince	Anyway, she ended up paying the dentist over $4,000.
[08:22]	IsambardPrince	I was like "Without getting a third opinion?"
[08:23]	IsambardPrince	There's a difference between a crown and he's cracked the tooth and needs a root canal and a crown.
[08:23]	IsambardPrince	I ran Mandy's situation past three dentists.
[08:23]	IsambardPrince	The first one was a really corrupt corporate dental chain called Aspen Dental.
[08:23]	IsambardPrince	They wanted to max out his insurance then charge me almost $9,000.

[08:25]	IsambardPrince	So we found an in network dentist, and she agreed with that assessment.
[08:25]	IsambardPrince	She also worked with me to come up with a plan to spread everything across two plan years.

[21:28]	schestowitz[TR2]	you think you fouind something
[21:28]	IsambardPrince	Then they launch a full screen page pressuring you to keep Microsoft Edge.

[21:28]	schestowitz[TR2]	irrelevant and low quality
[21:28]	IsambardPrince	So that's abusing their position as the search engine.
[21:28]	schestowitz[TR2]	or some bot voice reading slop (falsehoods)
[21:28]	IsambardPrince	Then if you do find what you wanted, and click download, Edge is hardcoded to pop up a warning message that only Edge is safe to use.
[21:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	IsambardPrince: i need your comment on this:
[21:29]	IsambardPrince	So they've gone right back to what got them convicted of illegal monopoly.
[21:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	The Tariffs Are Accelerating Microsoft's Decline in China
[21:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	Judging by the way things are going, there will be considerable adoption of GNU/Linux in years to come, China being one major contributing factor.
[21:29]	IsambardPrince	Absolutely. Probably in the US too.
[21:30]	IsambardPrince	Not just the Windows tax, but the fact that they INCREASED the requirements for Windows 11 which makes the computers more expensive, which means higher tariffs./
[21:30]	IsambardPrince	So people will turn to smaller computers that are cheaper but run Linux okay.
[21:30]	IsambardPrince	This seems to happen in every country where money is not abundant.
[21:31]	IsambardPrince	And Trump's policies create that effect where money is not abundant and what you have doesn't buy much.
[21:31]	IsambardPrince	These tariffs are rat poison for Microsoft's entire business.
[21:31]	IsambardPrince	Because everything they need to sell gets more and more expensive.
[21:32]	IsambardPrince	I wouldn't be surprised if Xbox starts puking up so many write-offs because of the tariffs that it gets lopped off.
[21:33]	IsambardPrince	You raise that price enough for the hardware, accessories, games (which no longer have a production cost or tariffs because they're downloads), then eventually people just won't have games, or they'll do what I do and install retroarch and be happy with some emulators that even a Chromebook can handle.
[21:34]	IsambardPrince	I mean, consider this.
[21:34]	IsambardPrince	The 80s and 90s weren't MISERABLE and we had far less technology than we do today.
[21:34]	IsambardPrince	We have more technology now than at any point in history, and life has gotten completely miserable, partly because of the technology.
[21:34]	IsambardPrince	It's advanced, but that's part of the problem.
[21:35]	IsambardPrince	It's advanced to the point where it makes hurting people badly with it, not only possible, but very cheap to do.
[21:36]	IsambardPrince	People who develop the things that cause this to happen should be ashamed of themselves.
[21:36]	IsambardPrince	Too ashamed to brag about it, certainly.
[21:37]	IsambardPrince	I really can't find a reason to care when Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Netflix, all these companies, have mass layoffs to hide the fact that it's not going so well internally.
[21:37]	IsambardPrince	The better they do, the worse life gets.
[21:37]	IsambardPrince	We got along fine when almost nobody even had a computer in the house. People couldn't ignore their neighbors and radicalize on porn and Fox News.
[21:38]	IsambardPrince	When people started getting the internet in their home it wasn't that bad, because the early adopters of things tend to be smarter people.
[21:38]	IsambardPrince	Then it becomes available to the masses, and they figure out how to make everything much worse.
[21:39]	IsambardPrince	I miss 20 years ago, you know, when there were no smartphones.
[21:39]	IsambardPrince	We didn't need them.
[21:39]	IsambardPrince	We still don't need them.
[21:39]	MinceR	there were smartphones 20 years ago
[21:40]	IsambardPrince	Not like the ones now.
[21:40]	IsambardPrince	If you had one it was probably a Blackberry.
[21:40]	IsambardPrince	They tried to hold on by porting an Android compatibility layer to Blackberry OS.
[21:40]	IsambardPrince	But it didn't work.
[21:40]	MinceR	there were nokias, handsprings, htc-s
[21:41]	MinceR	and the ancient ibm simon
[21:41]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, KIA didn't put a security system in their cars. So the minute a hood rat sees your KIA, you have....NOKIA.

[21:45]	IsambardPrince	I should be able to get everything I need done in a couple GB or less.
[21:45]	IsambardPrince	I noticed I already used under 5 GB most months anyway.
[21:45]	IsambardPrince	So I can probably squash the cell phone bill down by another 25% by severely limiting mobile data.

[22:03]	IsambardPrince	That would be kind of funny.
[22:03]	IsambardPrince	Those metal blades for the weed wackers are not cheap.
[22:03]	MinceR	Backdoors Mobile 2003 also had a Smartphone version
[22:04]	IsambardPrince	Like $30 or more.

[22:15]	IsambardPrince	Walmart can only exist based on suffering and human rights violations in the supply chain.
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	It's so nice of that Mexican lawn crew that after they do the weed wacking they bring in a leaf blower and blow it into my open window.

[22:21]	IsambardPrince	I snapped up another blu ray. I noticed the best way to get a good price on these on ebay is add a bunch to your watch list and see if any sellers offer to come down.
[22:23]	IsambardPrince	Many of them actually set their account to offer to come down $2-3 but only if the buyer watchlists something and walks off for several hours.
[22:31]	IsambardPrince	The fighting stopped until Putin could get the missile launchers reloaded.
[22:31]	IsambardPrince	Great success!

[22:48]	IsambardPrince	I got them eventually.
[22:48]	IsambardPrince	That's basically ISDN line speeds.
