| IsambardPrince | Nothing at the time required it. | May 11 06:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | there is also a denial element | May 11 06:05 |
| IsambardPrince | They were selling them as solid loans and running like hell. | May 11 06:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i know thie because | May 11 06:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | a close friend and relative also got scammed | May 11 06:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | in both cases, they kept it to themselves for like a year | May 11 06:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | didn't tell anyone | May 11 06:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they were embarASSsed | May 11 06:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | AND HOPED IT WOULD TURN OUT OK | May 11 06:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | (oops, caps) | May 11 06:05 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | the core thing ios, hope died last | May 11 06:05 |
| IsambardPrince | There was never any real legal protection from what unfolded. | May 11 06:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so for a while you deny you got scammed | May 11 06:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and sdenddd more money to the scammers | May 11 06:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | to "fix" it | May 11 06:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and then you donm't wan tto tell anyone | May 11 06:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | as you would be ridiculed | May 11 06:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and sometimes you get actual threatd from people overseas | May 11 06:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so many who "invested" in fakemoney will protect their ego | May 11 06:06 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | IsambardPrince: head of state in mexico | May 11 06:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | as of days ago | May 11 06:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | she the issue was, | May 11 06:07 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | we need to teach peopple to borrow money | May 11 06:07 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | this will not wortk out ok | May 11 06:07 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't suppose anyone bothered to ask why Mexico doesn't have recessions like the US does. Or if they do it's because we had one and had to stop buying things. | May 11 06:08 |
| IsambardPrince | Why most of the world is low growth but few recessions. | May 11 06:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | consumption is different | May 11 06:08 |
| IsambardPrince | Recessions destroy more than the growth from the binging. | May 11 06:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | all this binge stuff | May 11 06:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | yeah,m beat me to it | May 11 06:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | re binging | May 11 06:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i know people who collect too many things | May 11 06:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like, you open a desk drawer | May 11 06:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and you see like 5 phones in them | May 11 06:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | all functional | May 11 06:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but "old" | May 11 06:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | why would you buy a new phone every 2 years | May 11 06:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | if the old one is still working ok?> | May 11 06:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | that's a cultural thing | May 11 06:10 |

| whatA_ | Fashion Company crApple's at their Proprietary Obsolescence again for profit | May 11 06:10 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], The only reason I did with T-Mobile is they broke my Sprint phone by making their network incompatible after they bought the network. | May 11 06:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but that's because i'm saving it for psydroid2 | May 11 06:10 |
| IsambardPrince | But then they offered me 100% off a new phone. | May 11 06:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i will give him the parcel next time he's around heere | May 11 06:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | when i have something i will use it | May 11 06:10 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, until it breaks. | May 11 06:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <IsambardPrince> But then they offered me 100% off a new phone. | May 11 06:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | usually gfalse marketing | May 11 06:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | all this 'free' stuff | May 11 06:11 |
| IsambardPrince | Not so much. | May 11 06:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you pay with cellular bills | May 11 06:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | for longer than you would use it | May 11 06:11 |
| IsambardPrince | They allowed me to keep my senior citizen plan. | May 11 06:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | l;ike a 3-year plan | May 11 06:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | then 2 years later they have another "offer" | May 11 06:11 |
| IsambardPrince | You know, the one that your friend with the kettle was shouting scam scam about? | May 11 06:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so you never own the thing | May 11 06:11 |
| IsambardPrince | The one that they said we know you're not 55, but we use these for retention. | May 11 06:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i get loads of spam about mobile, in email and in post | May 11 06:12 |
| IsambardPrince | I was like "Okay then." | May 11 06:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they make a lot of money from this foolishness | May 11 06:12 |
| IsambardPrince | Not really in my case. | May 11 06:12 |
| IsambardPrince | The senior plan is much cheaper than the ones with the "free phones" | May 11 06:12 |
| IsambardPrince | You're not supposed to get free phones on the senior plan because of this. | May 11 06:12 |
| IsambardPrince | Which tells you why they're "free phones". | May 11 06:12 |
| IsambardPrince | The plan is $70 a month more! | May 11 06:12 |
| IsambardPrince | One reason prepaid is cheaper is there's no "free" phones. | May 11 06:13 |
| IsambardPrince | If you have to buy a phone for the real price, you'll use it a lot longer. | May 11 06:14 |
| IsambardPrince | And the real price of the phone and prepaid phone service would still be cheaper even with the "free phones" on T-Mobile every two years. | May 11 06:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <IsambardPrince> One reason prepaid is cheaper is there's no "free" phones. | May 11 06:14 |
| IsambardPrince | Because the phone is $600-700 maybe, but you have to pay another $840 a year to get a free phone. | May 11 06:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ThereISNoFreeLunchg(r) | May 11 06:15 |
| IsambardPrince | Which makes it a $1,680 "free" phone that retails for $600-700. | May 11 06:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | wait till., they make phones in the US | May 11 06:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | then it's even less 'free' | May 11 06:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | because of labour costs | May 11 06:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and environmental factors | May 11 06:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like my dad said last night, | May 11 06:15 |
| IsambardPrince | So even if you buy a phone every two years, it's cheaper to buy the phone. | May 11 06:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they asked nike CEO | May 11 06:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | why don'ty you make EVEN ONE factory in the US? | May 11 06:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they would not | May 11 06:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they strive for money | May 11 06:15 |
| IsambardPrince | Because you're paying for more than one per year to get a "free" one every two years. | May 11 06:15 |
| IsambardPrince | It's the biggest scam ever. | May 11 06:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | MADE IN VIETNAM = cost 10 dollars, profit 80 | May 11 06:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | MADE IN USA = cost 70, profit 10 | May 11 06:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but at least you invest back into your country | May 11 06:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Can't do THAT! | May 11 06:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Yes, American CEOs will sell out all the factory workers for a nickel. | May 11 06:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Move to China. | May 11 06:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Then be put out of business by the Chinese cloning his stuff and selling straight to Walmart. | May 11 06:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Had it happen in 2004! | May 11 06:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the paptents expired | May 11 06:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and patents on shoes are meh | May 11 06:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the patent ioffices in china | May 11 06:17 |
| IsambardPrince | Walmart had his brand of dog cages for about 6 months then they worked with the suppliers to just clone it, put another brand on it, but it was the same thing. | May 11 06:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | dnd not far you can go with patents on SHOES | May 11 06:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they dot trademarks | May 11 06:17 |
| IsambardPrince | They gave him nothing and his factory was already shut down. | May 11 06:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | at some point people stop carinbg | May 11 06:17 |
| IsambardPrince | And over 1,000 people in Indiana lost the jobs. | May 11 06:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and forget about knockoffs and fake | May 11 06:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | people would buy generic brands | May 11 06:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | because it can be 5 times cheaper | May 11 06:18 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], He can't even tell you this, you know. | May 11 06:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and might be the only thing they can afford anywayt\ | May 11 06:18 |
| IsambardPrince | Because Walmart made him sign a non-disparagement agreement to get their business. | May 11 06:18 |
| IsambardPrince | For the six months. | May 11 06:18 |
| IsambardPrince | So he can't tell you how bad they fucked him. | May 11 06:18 |
| *whatA_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | May 11 06:18 | |
| *admfubar has quit (connection closed) | May 11 06:18 | |

| schestowitz[TR2] | (soprry for typos, inm a hurry, leavboinmgh shortly) | May 11 06:19 |
| IsambardPrince | They fucked him bad., | May 11 06:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they don't care | May 11 06:19 |
| IsambardPrince | He deserved it for what he did to us, to me. | May 11 06:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they have no feelings | May 11 06:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's not a family business and sam walton is long dead | May 11 06:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's a wall street SYMBOKL | May 11 06:19 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], Right. This was in 2004. | May 11 06:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | point games or number games in walmart makes sense | May 11 06:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they don't feel loyalty | May 11 06:20 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm sure nothing's changed and they did a lot of CEOs like this. | May 11 06:20 |
| *whatA_ (~chatzilla@vetart7w4mqps.irc) has joined #techrights | May 11 06:20 | |
| schestowitz[TR2] | because the company lacks loyalty to them | May 11 06:20 |
| IsambardPrince | They probably signed the same agreement. | May 11 06:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it becomes reciprocal | May 11 06:20 |
| IsambardPrince | So you'll never hear about it. | May 11 06:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 'why should i work hard for a company that sees me as a number?" | May 11 06:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i was like this in the last 3 years at sirius | May 11 06:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | did the very bare minimum | May 11 06:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | as i resented what they did to my colleagues | May 11 06:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and wasted our life with BS | May 11 06:21 |
| IsambardPrince | Work-to-rule | May 11 06:21 |
| IsambardPrince | Right, no place I ever worked really cared how I was doing. | May 11 06:21 |
| IsambardPrince | I had one of them threaten to fire me if I didn't go on a PIP. On another one, I overperformed and they accused me of "cheating" and so my reward was being followed around by an idiot who didn't know how to do my job. | May 11 06:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I had the guy that shut the factory down so Walmart could fuck him six months later. | May 11 06:22 |
| IsambardPrince | And the reason I know they did is because the next place I worked was Walmart. | May 11 06:23 |
| IsambardPrince | And I saw his product in the pets aisle. | May 11 06:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Then 6 months later, same product, no mention of his company on it. | May 11 06:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Scanned it, different supplier name. | May 11 06:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Walmart pays about the minimum they think they can possibly get away with. | May 11 06:24 |
| IsambardPrince | They literally just look at what other jobs in the area pay and pay about that much. | May 11 06:24 |
| *darwin has quit (Quit: Leaving) | May 11 06:24 | |
| IsambardPrince | So there's no point leaving because they know you won't do better if you do. | May 11 06:24 |
| IsambardPrince | They know you'll leave if someone else offers you fifty cents more an hour. | May 11 06:25 |
| IsambardPrince | So they're careful to make sure that doesn't happen, but they also won't pay you 50 cents an hour more than the other guy will. | May 11 06:25 |
| *admfubar (~admfubar@ngqaam7baxnug.irc) has joined #techrights | May 11 06:27 | |

| IsambardPrince | Introduced them to his suppliers. | May 11 06:27 |
| IsambardPrince | Drop shipped the product to them. | May 11 06:27 |
| IsambardPrince | Closed his own factory so he couldn't compete with them or supply their competitors. | May 11 06:28 |
| *whatA_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | May 11 06:28 | |

| IsambardPrince | Why wouldn't you? You'll be on that plane for a couple of hours probably. | May 11 06:56 |
| IsambardPrince | First class is not what it was 30-40 years ago when you had plenty of legroom or stuff, and even if it was you'd only be on the flight for a couple hours. | May 11 06:57 |
| IsambardPrince | "RMS has long been like this. He comments on his choice of clothing (limited sets, this limits damage to the environment through reduced consumption) in his personal Web site and we are sort of staggered to see people twisting principles from the lens of "poor-shaming"." | May 11 06:58 |
| IsambardPrince | I've worn the same winter coat for 10 years now. | May 11 06:58 |
| IsambardPrince | My previous coat was from 1994 and it wasn't looking very good from the number of times I sewed it back together. | May 11 06:59 |
| IsambardPrince | I just don't know why anyone would be massively in debt so they could buy a lot of coats. | May 11 06:59 |
| IsambardPrince | It's not exactly about sustainability as much as not spending money on solved problems. | May 11 07:00 |
| IsambardPrince | I needed a coat, I bought a coat. | May 11 07:00 |
| IsambardPrince | Maybe one day when the coat is ruined I'll buy another coat. | May 11 07:00 |
| IsambardPrince | I buy a lot of my Blu Ray collection used at thrift stores or on ebay. | May 11 07:01 |
| IsambardPrince | I use a feature they don't publicize much to shave a couple dollars off here and there. | May 11 07:01 |
| IsambardPrince | I rarely buy a disc new unless Amazon marked it down so much that I wouldn't save any real money on ebay. | May 11 07:02 |
| IsambardPrince | If I shopped like my mother for these things, I'd pay $33 for a disc that only costs $18 on ebay because someone took it out of the package and watched it once. | May 11 07:03 |
| IsambardPrince | They lost $15 on it right then and there, plus the cost of shipping it. | May 11 07:03 |
| IsambardPrince | I mean, almost all of them come without a single scratch on the disc. They all have the box in good shape. They all have the books and stuff with them that Criterion packs in there. | May 11 07:04 |
| *whatA_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | May 11 07:07 | |
| IsambardPrince | Most of their discs depreciate. Some later appreciate if they go out of print, but you don't know which discs those will be or how many they made, so overall you'd lose money viewing them as an investment. | May 11 07:07 |

| IsambardPrince | In some cases, the binary output from their 2019 compiler is nearly twice as large as their compilers from the 2000s, and it runs slower because the "optimizations" end up flooding the CPU's cache memory and it all backfires. | May 11 20:41 |

| IsambardPrince | You can sometimes get behaviors like this from GCC, but you'd have to request them. You're better off building them with different levels of optimization and testing to see what the compiler actually did and how it runs. | May 11 20:42 |
| IsambardPrince | In many cases, I've seen open source projects try to optimize for newer CPU instructions, find out that that runs slower, and revert to older instruction sets from even the 1990s. | May 11 20:44 |
| IsambardPrince | I seriously doubt that Red Hat's x86-64v(whatever) feature levels are improving the end user experience much, if at all. | May 11 20:45 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-finance.yahoo.com | Cutting Out These 7 Expenses Can Save You $5,400 Per Year | May 11 21:01 | |
| IsambardPrince | "Savings per year: $114 | May 11 21:01 |
| IsambardPrince | According to Woroch, the average household dishes out $114 on video streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, and more) each month." | May 11 21:01 |
| IsambardPrince | So you save $114 a year by cutting something that costs $114 a month? | May 11 21:02 |
| IsambardPrince | How does that work? | May 11 21:02 |
| IsambardPrince | If you pay $114 a month for streaming and end up owning actually nothing, you'd be better off just buying 5-6 Blu Ray or DVD discs every month and watching them as you get around to it. | May 11 21:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | maybe slop | May 11 21:03 |
| IsambardPrince | That way there's nothing to cancel and you only buy what you want and you can actually keep it forever and watch it again if you want to. | May 11 21:03 |
| IsambardPrince | If they're not first run movies, you can get about 20-30 Blu Ray discs or potentially 100 DVDs on the used market. | May 11 21:04 |
| IsambardPrince | Every month. | May 11 21:04 |
| IsambardPrince | You could never keep up with that. | May 11 21:04 |
| IsambardPrince | But streaming is pissing away a lot of money. | May 11 21:04 |
| IsambardPrince | That's why they call it "streaming". | May 11 21:04 |
| IsambardPrince | Most of what goes into "streaming" is utter crap. If it's not utter crap, you're streaming stuff from when TV was good for about 50 years or so between the 50s and the 2000s. | May 11 21:05 |
| IsambardPrince | It was basically a burst of things that were good or at least okay, and then it decayed into garbage. | May 11 21:06 |
| IsambardPrince | Mounds of garbage. | May 11 21:06 |
| IsambardPrince | They really did fuck up both Battlestar Galactica series. | May 11 21:07 |
| IsambardPrince | It was always that final season. | May 11 21:07 |
| IsambardPrince | In the 70s they moved the time slot and turned it into a kids show. | May 11 21:07 |
| IsambardPrince | In the 2000s reboot, they had to close up the 5th season fast and so the Cylon God turned out to be real and they found the real Earth. | May 11 21:08 |
| IsambardPrince | And of course they set their ships on a collision course with the Sun and gave up all their technology because why wouldn't you want to be exposed to the elements and diseases on a new planet with no shelter or medicine or weapons? | May 11 21:08 |
| IsambardPrince | Just absolutely horrible ending. | May 11 21:09 |
| IsambardPrince | "We'll just trap ourselves here with nothing. We don't know anything about what dangers exist on this world. No medicine. No weapons. No shelter. If it turns out that we have to leave, we don't have any ships that could do that!" Ugh. | May 11 21:11 |
| IsambardPrince | The entire plot of the series was that after the fall of the Colonies, they set out to seed human life elsewhere to ensure the survival of the species. It would have been more logical to keep the ships and set up several human colonies in various star systems. | May 11 21:13 |
| IsambardPrince | You'd want to diversify so that even a planetwide catastrophe couldn't wipe all of them out. | May 11 21:13 |
| IsambardPrince | They already obviously had experience with losing a Colony, several times, including Cylon Earth and Kobol, before the fall of the Twelve. | May 11 21:15 |
| IsambardPrince | So the way the series ended was incoherent. | May 11 21:15 |
| IsambardPrince | There were some previous warning signs that the series was going off the rails though. | May 11 21:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Like that episode where Gaius Baltar figured he was bullshitting everyone by pointing at exactly where they needed to attack a Cylon base at to set off secondary explosions, but then it turned out to be an impossibly lucky guess (the intervention of God). | May 11 21:17 |
| IsambardPrince | "Woroch said you might get free streaming service through your wireless provider (like Sprint or T-Mobile)" | May 11 21:20 |
| MinceR | who would have thought that if you base a sci-fi series on religion, it's going to be hokey? :> | May 11 21:20 |
| IsambardPrince | It's in the bullshit bundle with the "free phones that aren't free". | May 11 21:20 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Well, there was no guarantee that the plot had to end up being stupid like that. | May 11 21:21 |
| IsambardPrince | Just because the Cylons believe in a God and it is what causes their crusade against the Humans does not mean that there has to be an actual God. | May 11 21:21 |
| IsambardPrince | You could explain it as errant programming. | May 11 21:22 |
| IsambardPrince | We end up with things like this in real life, right? | May 11 21:22 |
| MinceR | would be nice | May 11 21:22 |
| IsambardPrince | The Muslims believe in Allah and there's the terrorist religion that keeps causing trouble. | May 11 21:22 |
| MinceR | we could use some cylons that exterminate humanity | May 11 21:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Doesn't matter if Allah exists or not, they can still cause a lot of trouble based around their beliefs. | May 11 21:23 |
| IsambardPrince | In America, basically, religion and guns are very similar in one way. We're told that no matter how much harm they cause, no matter how many people die because of them, it's the third rail. | May 11 21:24 |
| IsambardPrince | You touch the subject, you get zapped. | May 11 21:24 |
| IsambardPrince | If you make a joke that offends a religious person, you could get fired, for example. Even if it was a funny joke. They say something about you, well, they get away with it. | May 11 21:25 |
| IsambardPrince | So we've always had cancel culture. It depends on who gets to do the canceling. | May 11 21:25 |
| IsambardPrince | In some contexts, you piss off a religious person they'll just kill you. They're nuts. They don't see the laws against killing people as absolute. | May 11 21:26 |
| IsambardPrince | They've tried to murder Salman Rushdie so many times. I mean, he got one of his eyes stabbed out, just for pissing them off with what he wrote. | May 11 21:27 |
| IsambardPrince | There was that Dutch newspaper that got a bomb in the mail because they offended Islamists. | May 11 21:27 |
| IsambardPrince | People who are really stupid don't seem to have much of a trigger for violence. | May 11 21:29 |
| IsambardPrince | My mom married one of those. | May 11 21:29 |
| IsambardPrince | Really stupid, and drunk all the time. | May 11 21:29 |
| IsambardPrince | It would have been better for everyone if his family had the presence of mind to just get an abortion and rid the world of their evil machinations. | May 11 21:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Captain Kirk probably put it best. It's far easier for a civilized man to act like a savage than for a savage to act like a civilized man. If I wanted to deliberately bang the silverware and demand meat at a fancy restaurant, for whatever reason, I could do that. But Brian/Gonad could never contemplate his existence or place in the universe. He couldn't write an essay. He certainly did not understand at all why light behaves as | May 11 21:34 |
| IsambardPrince | waves and particles due to the peculiarities inherent in quantum mechanics. Nor would it interest him to have a surface level understanding of things like that. | May 11 21:34 |
| IsambardPrince | He wouldn't understand chemistry. He didn't even believe that germs exist, because he couldn't see them. | May 11 21:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Everything in human existence, on some level, ultimately boils down to trying to have sex and propagate the species. Some people accomplished this by composing great works of art or music, some expanded scientific understanding, some just hold people down and rape them. Brian's family falls into that last group. | May 11 21:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Laws don't control people like this because they can't contemplate what might happen to them as a consequence. They want to do something so they do it. | May 11 21:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Why are there so many murderers where I live and why are they so sloppy about it and get caught almost immediately? Same reason. Most of us are mad enough to kill at some point, but then many start thinking "maybe this would mean bad things happen to me, like prison, and so I'd better not shoot that person", and then other people just go buy an illegal gun and go "I finna kill that mofo! BANG BANG!!!" | May 11 21:40 |
| IsambardPrince | If someday Gonad's grandson decides to murder someone (he's already raped at least two), he'll do it openly and notoriously, not have a plausible story for the cops should they ask, and dump the body where they'll find it immediately with his fingerprints all over the place. | May 11 21:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Because that's just how that family is. | May 11 21:42 |

| IsambardPrince | I do negotiations for a lot of stuff. I got a good deal on my Bose system in my living room a couple years ago. | May 11 21:58 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I don't think being "faked out" by something is necessarily a bad thing. A "fake out" sometimes does things that wouldn't be possible otherwise given the contaxt. | May 11 22:00 |

| IsambardPrince | William Bilodeau and Michael Songy discovered this technique in October 1998, and presented the technique at Creativity, a Creative Labs developer's conference, in 1999.[2] Sim Dietrich presented this technique at both GDC in March 1999, and at Creativity in late 1999.[3][4] A few months later, William Bilodeau and Michael Songy filed a US patent application for the technique the same year entitled "Method for rendering shadows | May 11 22:03 |
| IsambardPrince | using a shadow volume and a stencil buffer".[5] John Carmack of id Software independently discovered the algorithm in 2000 during the development of Doom 3.[6] | May 11 22:03 |
| IsambardPrince | This patent would be expired by now. | May 11 22:03 |
| IsambardPrince | So they could put Carmack's Reverse back in the GPL'd Doom 3 engine. | May 11 22:03 |

| IsambardPrince | At the time, they did a patent ambush on id Software. | May 11 22:04 |
| IsambardPrince | And they paid them to go away. | May 11 22:04 |
| IsambardPrince | According to Carmack they didn't pay but the terms of the deal were undisclosed. | May 11 22:06 |
| IsambardPrince | Sometimes patent trolls get a non-cash deal so it scares other people, like that patent troll that went after GNOME. | May 11 22:06 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], The use of LLMs is getting outrageous. I noticed Walmart doesn't have "Sparky" on their mobile site so I use that and not the app. | May 11 22:12 |

| MinceR | i wonder if there's a market for secure computers | May 11 22:48 |
| IsambardPrince | There's a market for conning people into thinking that they have a secure computer. | May 11 22:49 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I wrote an invisible iframe in my site that would deliberately crash Windows with a Blue Screen of Death if you viewed it in Internet Explorer. | May 11 22:51 |
| IsambardPrince | That was easy. | May 11 22:51 |

| IsambardPrince | It isn't super hard to make a folder with a prohibited name. Windows does prevent you from doing it the common ways, but you can easily do it with the command line, simply type in md con to make a con folder. | May 11 22:57 |

| IsambardPrince | The SDK doesn't even work on Windows 11. | May 11 22:59 |
| IsambardPrince | The OS is proprietary so you can't make any meaningful changes and offer custom ROMs. | May 11 22:59 |

| IsambardPrince | "The mechanism for recognizing programs was by searching for the names of well-known executables such as 123.EXE for Lotus 1-2-3. Sometimes, there were multiple programs that used the same executable name. For example, MAIL.EXE was used by PATHWORKS Mail for MS-DOS, cc:Mail for MS-DOS, and XcelleNet X/Mail for MS-DOS. In that case, the program asked you, “Hey, like, I’m not sure which program this is. Can you tell me if i | May 11 23:02 |
| IsambardPrince | t’s any of these guys?”" | May 11 23:02 |
| IsambardPrince | Gee, that's clever. Almost like looking for clues like searching the text of the binary to see if there's an indication of which program it is. | May 11 23:03 |
| IsambardPrince | :D | May 11 23:03 |
| IsambardPrince | I thought it was funny that IBM donated Lotus Symphony to Apache OpenOffice, which is basically a zombie office suite that's barely been patched in years. | May 11 23:05 |

| IsambardPrince | They're now saying that that Garcia fellow they deported "was arrested for loitering" (a misdemeanor that just says you stood somewhere for too long in public without spending money, it's the ultimate Boomer Law to be honest) outside a Home Depot (probably just looking for work honestly), in 2019, with "$1750 in cash" which is suspiciously large, whereas the $3,800 in cash that Kristi Noem got stolen when she wasn't watching her | May 11 23:47 |

| IsambardPrince | "What kind of a vile country turns itself into a gigantic parking lot for malls and Walmart and convenience stores that sell drugs to kids, and then passes a law saying that standing somewhere without spending money is a crime, and then says that having money in your pocket is suspicious, but that they can also arrest you for not having money in your pocket? | May 11 23:50 |
