[01:00]	IsambardPrince	Capitalism needs haves and have nots.
[01:01]	IsambardPrince	One guy is so rich he's thinking about pond filters, probably not even thinking about it. He knows a van full of Mexican contractors does a thing with his pond.
[01:01]	IsambardPrince	Then the other guy is dealing with anti-homeless spikes.
[01:05]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: I got some door sweeps on Amazon Vine for free and installed them.
[01:05]	IsambardPrince	Hopefully this will save me some money on my heat and air conditioning bills.
[01:06]	IsambardPrince	I've been looking at the AQI reading from the air purifier.
[01:06]	IsambardPrince	No spikes at all since I installed those.
[01:14]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: PBS lost 70 TB of archival data because a Clown Storage company went bankrupt.
[01:17]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: I should move to San Francisco where People Get It.
[01:17]	MinceR	what is It?
[01:17]	IsambardPrince	I just feel that, you know, buying jeans at Sam's Club and hosting book parties with Franzia and Velveeta won't go over so well.
[01:18]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: I don't know. I've been informed that People Get It.
[01:18]	MinceR	is It the entity that also appears as Pennywise?
[01:18]	MinceR	or is that only referred to as IT?
[01:18]	IsambardPrince	Pennywise wasn't half as scary as the person who said that.
[01:18]	MinceR	or perhaps It is MAP30 of Memento Mori II?

[21:07]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: MinceR Fox bought Roku.
[21:08]	schestowitz[TR2]	candidis it still valuable
[21:08]	IsambardPrince	I've noticed that when I want to stream something, Roku lists all the paid subscriptions or "purchase an episode" ones first.
[21:08]	IsambardPrince	Even if there's like 2-3 apps or the library app where you can watch the same thing free, maybe even without commercials.
[21:08]	IsambardPrince	It always lists the paid ones first.
[21:09]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: So basically at first glance it looks like, to watch Doctor Who you have to subscribe to BritBox and have yet another subscription, or pay $1.99 per episode to Amazon Prime video.
[21:09]	IsambardPrince	Then you find out it's on Hoopla which is free with a library card, and no ads.
[21:09]	schestowitz[TR2]	DRM,no go
[21:09]	IsambardPrince	And has every episode the BBC has (the BBC botched some archive stuff and there are missing episodes now).
[21:10]	IsambardPrince	Humorously, after the BBC bungled their own shit and lost episodes of Dr. Who.....

[21:10]	IsambardPrince	They asked would people who recorded them on blank tapes please come forward, after they stated that this was piracy.
[21:11]	IsambardPrince	They promised not to sue people for recording them on tapes, which I don't know about the law in the UK, but the law in the US says you can do that.
[21:11]	IsambardPrince	You didn't need anyone's permission to record something on tape as long as there was no "effective technical countermeasure" and even that was only added in 1998.
[21:12]	IsambardPrince	So basically when you had a cable TV tuner card and Windows 7, there was a program from Microsoft that let you watch TV, but it would stop you from recording any channel marked "do not record".
[21:12]	IsambardPrince	But I found some open source software that let you record those channels.
[21:12]	IsambardPrince	AMC was one of them.
[21:13]	schestowitz[TR2]	bedtime now
[21:13]	IsambardPrince	So the application that came with Windows 7 media center did not let me record The Walking Dead.
[21:13]	IsambardPrince	But that other program did.
[21:14]	IsambardPrince	Technically, they could have put Macrovision through with the channel back in the heyday of cable, but that would have caused like half the customers to call in and cancel their cable and reallocate the budget to rent movies or buy TV shows on tape.
[21:14]	IsambardPrince	So they never pulled that trigger.
[21:15]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: Anyway, Roku is clearly designed to manipulate you into paying for things that don't actually cost anything.
[21:16]	IsambardPrince	They steer you to the paid option because they collect a fee when you "purchase" or subscribe to something.
[21:18]	MinceR	IsambardPrince: good thing i don't use roku, then
