[00:37] schestowitz__ yes, it is old news [sic] [00:39] baronhk[m]1 Considering buying a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis. [00:39] baronhk[m]1 It ticks all my boxes. Big reliable engine and not much computerized shit in it. Plenty of room inside. [00:40] baronhk[m]1 The reason the newer cars are in short supply is because every piece needs its own computer now, often for no reason, during a "chip shortage". [00:41] baronhk[m]1 Vacuum operated components generally worked fine, at least until the lines rotted out, but still lasted longer and cheaper to fix. [00:42] baronhk[m]1 I've seen plenty of people improperly repair vacuum issues with tape if they didn't really want to deal with it. [00:42] baronhk[m]1 As long as it blocks unmetered air it'll go ahead and work for years until another part of the line cracks. [00:43] baronhk[m]1 You can't really repair computer problems with tape very often. [00:44] baronhk[m]1 The only real reason I dumped money into the Impala is because mom gave it to me for free. I knew it was a mess. [00:44] baronhk[m]1 It's been behaving alright for a while. [00:45] baronhk[m]1 Generally, the newer the model year, the more dumb things they've gone and done with it. [00:46] baronhk[m]1 schestowitz__: It's like those washing machines people buy now. When I was a kid, my parents had a washer and dryer that lasted longer than their marriage. Seriously, the damned things were like 30 by the time dad chucked them because nobody was making parts. Now I see people tossing them every 5-10 years and saying it's more to fix than it is to replace. [00:47] MinceR allegedly Mieles last longer and are designed to be repaired, but they're much more expensive [00:47] kingoffrance printers and desktops and laptops no doubt are like that too somewhat? [00:47] baronhk[m]1 I saw a Macbook on Facebook Marketplace today. The hardware seems fine, but the software is designed to be a ticking time bomb. [00:47] baronhk[m]1 You have about 5 years on a new Mac or Chromebook and then you're finished, and it's all because of software. [00:47] kingoffrance yes, much of it artificial [00:48] kingoffrance millions of phones no doubt too [00:48] GNUmoon2 schestowitz: "yes, it is old news [sic]" new to me (and the rest of the planet), yikes.. [00:48] baronhk[m]1 Microsoft doesn't commit to what Windows 10's support lifecycle really is. [00:48] baronhk[m]1 They've gotten all wishy washy. [00:49] baronhk[m]1 It used to be "10 years" but often you got more because so many people used it and they went "Okay, a few more years of security fixes!".

[01:26] schestowitz__ yeah [01:26] baronhk[m]1 schestowitz__: Going off topic again for a minute (not tech) now that Biden announced the end of masks at the federal level, the science in Illinois has apparently changed in 3 days. [01:26] baronhk[m]1 Jabba the Pritzker said 3 days ago masks would go on indefinitely, and then today he said it won't be required after June 11th. [01:26] baronhk[m]1 Walmart says no mask requirement after the 18th of May that they will attempt to enforce. [01:26] schestowitz__ because nobody dies with COVID anymore ^_^ [01:27] schestowitz__ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/ [01:27] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.worldometers.info | United Kingdom COVID: 4,446,824 Cases and 127,668 Deaths - Worldometer [01:27] schestowitz__ "2,193 new cases and 17 new deaths in the United Kingdom.' [01:27] baronhk[m]1 "The Web is an awful place, not just because of bloat and surveillance but also the content in it. Tons of that content is garbage or spam or marketing. Its really, really bad. Its getting worse." [01:28] baronhk[m]1 Vivaldi offers to block most of this crap at first run. [01:28] schestowitz__ baronhk[m]1: yes, but [01:28] baronhk[m]1 It's totally up to you if you want no blocking, tracker blocking, or ad and tracker blocking. [01:28] schestowitz__ that compensates for a bad [01:28] schestowitz__ doesn't make it any less bad [01:28] baronhk[m]1 And it defaults to undoing miners and cookie warnings. [01:29] baronhk[m]1 The web is a festering pile of shit, and having some browser that go "You know what? Enough!" is nice. [01:29] baronhk[m]1 MinceR: Like when Ba'al wouldn't stop talking and a senile Merlin silenced him, but then Merlin dies and Ba'al can talk again. Teal'c says "Yet another reason to mourn his passing.". [01:30] MinceR :> [01:30] baronhk[m]1 90% of the traffic when you load a website is pointless and counterproductive junk and spam. [01:30] baronhk[m]1 Vivaldi and Brave pretty much shut it down by default or at least give you a choice. [01:32] baronhk[m]1 How does Taboola even exist? [01:32] baronhk[m]1 Even Firefox, Edge, and Chrome shut them down with the default settings. [01:33] MinceR it exists because people who maintain large websites absolutely loathe their visitors :> [01:34] baronhk[m]1 Article looks good. [01:34] baronhk[m]1 schestowitz__: "Sites that call themselves Linux something but promote Microsoft vendor lock-in are digging their own graves. They spoon-feed readers with stuff those readers do not and should not want." [01:34] MinceR same reason why you get ads that flash, ads that shift/rotate the content out of the way and ads that autoplay audio together with adblocker blockers [01:34] baronhk[m]1 Vivaldi's Linux guy. The one I don't have letters on my keyboard for, was promoting Edge on their blog the other day. [01:34] baronhk[m]1 Almost barfed. [01:34] MinceR lol [01:35] MinceR vivaldi's lucky to have him, aren't they? [01:35] baronhk[m]1 He used to blog on the Opera blog back when they were an actual browser and not a Chinese Chrome that pitches a proxy that spies on you as a "VPN". [01:35] MinceR isn't that also what vivaldi is? [01:36] baronhk[m]1 Not exactly. There's no fake VPN that spies on all your traffic. [01:36] baronhk[m]1 It forces you to use your own encryption passphrase for sync that is aside from your Vivaldi credentials. [01:36] baronhk[m]1 They store it. They don't want to know what's in it. It's covered by the GDPR aside from that. [01:37] GNUmoon2 schestowitz: Fascinating, the rich owner/capitalist classes really do love the environment, and like you have written, like they love "open source". [01:37] GNUmoon2 schestowitz: "Breakthrough Energy Europe portfolio corporations [4] will have preferential access to any/all funding from relevant EU Programmesincluding, but not limited to the European Innovation Council (EIC) in its future pilot and fully-fledged phases, InnovFin EDP and its successor(s) under InvestEU, the future EU financial instrument for the period 2021-2027.

[01:39] schestowitz__ Commercializing COVID [01:39] baronhk[m]1 But they're smart enough to not do half the things the Democrats have done here. [01:39] schestowitz__ Commercializing vaccination [01:39] schestowitz__ Commercializing masks [01:39] MinceR got to commercialize that, there won't be anything they can commercialize after it's over [01:39] MinceR because we'll all be gone by then [01:39] GNUmoon2 Breakthrough Energy's new website list of "investors": https://www.breakthroughenergy.org/investing-in-innovation/bev-board-and-investors [01:39] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.breakthroughenergy.org | BEV Board & Investors [01:40] MinceR baronhk[m]1: they still seem to be able to engineer some things around here [01:40] schestowitz__ Commercializing... otherwise the Commies and Terrorists will Win(r) [01:40] GNUmoon2 Jeff and co [01:40] schestowitz__ bbiab [01:40] MinceR like the world's first self-driving tram demonstrated in real traffic [01:40] baronhk[m]1 MinceR: Now that the Dems have ruined half of small businesses in Illinois so black unemployment will never go below 50% in this state again, we don't need masks.

[01:41] baronhk[m]1 I told them no matter which European country it comes from, he's wrong. [01:41] baronhk[m]1 He started with the Germans and then it got progressively worse from there. The Italians and then the Swedes and then the British. [01:42] schestowitz__ [16:05] Mandy goes to Walmart, works, has taxes deducted, so that Boomer Americans who are living off of Biden's programs can get free broadband internet porn and fill Walmart sacks with panic buy gasoline. [01:42] MinceR :> [01:42] schestowitz__ baronhk[m]1: you are not employed [01:42] MinceR cars are not the only thing that can be engineered [01:42] schestowitz__ but you talk down the unemployed [01:42] schestowitz__ like they're lazy and mooching [01:42] baronhk[m]1 The Swedes make the Germans look pretty good. The Germans aren't dumb enough to put the fucking battery in the trunk and then run 12 feet of wiring between it and the alternator. [01:42] schestowitz__ as for Mandy, he cannot drive [01:42] MinceR isn't the point of that to distribute mass better? [01:42] GNUmoon2 From Breakthrough portfolio page: "The aim of Breakthrough Energy Ventures is to accelerate an energy transition across every sector of the economy. We invest in visionary entrepreneurs, building companies that can have a significant impact on climate change at scale." [01:43] baronhk[m]1 The Democrats ruined businesses here so they'll never hire again because they don't exist. [01:43] GNUmoon2 Transition to extinction.... [01:43] baronhk[m]1 And it was pretty much all (stated purpose) so that a few old people could keep collecting free shit paid for by taxes and loans. Mortgages on younger folks who don't get a future now. [01:43] MinceR transition to a beautiful new world without any humans in it [01:44] baronhk[m]1 Socialized Insecurity's website describes their ponzi scam as an "inter-generational contract". [01:44] baronhk[m]1 I didn't sign it. [01:44] MinceR just like the "social contract" [01:44] baronhk[m]1 Nobody did. It comes out of your check. Who knows if there will be anything. Probably not when these assholes and shitheads are done with it. [01:45] GNUmoon2 schestowitz: Breakthrough Energy Board members... one of them: "Bill Gates, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Co-chair CHAIR OF THE BOARD" [01:45] baronhk[m]1 Half of it is your problem and half of it is your employer's problem. Without Socialized Insecurity and their shitty returns and unfunded mandates, you could theoretically put twice as much into a 401(k) and provide for yourself. [01:46] baronhk[m]1 Much better than with their bullshit Socialist nonsense. [01:46] schestowitz__ next EPO article mentions Orban [01:46] baronhk[m]1 It also has a lot of overhead so it can employ derelicts who aren't fit to work at Walmart to operate it and run the paperwork. [01:47] baronhk[m]1 Again, I can't support either party because every time you say you can't make Illinois a bigger shithole, the other side wins and says hold my beer. [01:47] baronhk[m]1 So I'll probably vote Libertarian next year. [01:47] MinceR you need anarchism :> [01:48] baronhk[m]1 We will have that pretty soon when the welfare state that these stinking morons set up to create a voter base can't operate anymore. [01:48] baronhk[m]1 Once the bennies and govt "jobs" stop, people don't need the government anymore. Illinois will be America's first officially failed state. [01:49] GNUmoon2 baronhk: "Much better than with their bullshit Socialist nonsense", Democrats socialist? [01:49] baronhk[m]1 Social Security is a mess and the only reason nobody has shut it down yet is that we're balls deep into this and many millions of people depend on it. [01:50] baronhk[m]1 There'd be an uprising. So even though it makes no sense, financially, it keeps on trucking. [01:50] baronhk[m]1 George W. Bush's idea of partially privatizing it and forcing workers to put that percentage into private plans was not a bad idea. [01:51] baronhk[m]1 Bank of America, Merrill Lynch manages Walmart's 401(k) plan and Mandy is getting a terrific deal on the management fees and fund OPTIONS. I capitalize options because Social Security gives you no options. [01:52] baronhk[m]1 It's not even your money. If you die young, you don't get to leave it to anyone. It goes into the big shitpile and it's a captive buyer of government bonds that barely earn anything, and may well be defaulted on well before the imaginary trust fund runs out. [01:52] baronhk[m]1 It was useful to yesterday's politicians because it always took in more than it paid out, and so it was forced to fund all of these wasteful spending and fraud that both sides love so much. [01:54] baronhk[m]1 I'd probably have sided with Trump if it wasn't for the immigration policies, honestly, even though I actually agreed with a few and laughed at how he put it. [01:54] baronhk[m]1 The diversity visa lottery does suck, and we end up taking in people who couldn't even build a house for themselves in their own country and sat and watched while westerners with charities came over and did it all for them. [01:55] baronhk[m]1 Then they're going to come here and the immigration visa lottery fairy is going to turn them into tax-paying English speakers. [01:57] baronhk[m]1 We've got to do some things. Nobody will do it. In my opinion, and why I couldn't support Trump, is that Trump took it (way) too far by acting that every immigrant was probably trash and that unless they were rich or college educated, we'd never even break even, and that humanitarian visas are something that only people who are a bunch of pussies support. [01:58] baronhk[m]1 There's plenty of people who went to "college" (mostly liberal scams) in America who are citizens who are very highly educated, and we'll never break even. [01:58] baronhk[m]1 It's not a panacea. You don't "win" just by going there. In fact, very often it's worse than running a cash register at Walmart and opening a 401(k). ● May 15 [02:00] baronhk[m]1 The fake SJW left should feel some white guilt about that, by telling minorities (mostly) to take on horrendous debt at lots of interest to hear about how they were slaves almost 200 years ago. [02:00] baronhk[m]1 They'll be debt slaves now after they do the thing, so that some latte-sipping liberal college professor can pull down a paycheck. [02:00] baronhk[m]1 Then laugh his ass off all the way to his six figure house, in his Tesla. [02:01] baronhk[m]1 If you want to know why bankruptcy doesn't work on student loans it's because of that. Very nearly all of the people who were told get a degree and ended up in a debt trap thanks to the left are black and brown. [02:01] baronhk[m]1 Think anyone is going to let a court dismiss that? Nope. [02:02] baronhk[m]1 I dated one black guy who signed off on loans. He studied political science at University of Wisconsin, Parkside. [02:02] baronhk[m]1 He racked up $20,000 and immediately went into Income-based Forebearance. [02:03] baronhk[m]1 The garnishments forced him to default on other stuff, and now his credit score is 470 and he has to keep the cash he does have in a safe in his kitchen because he can't open a bank account. [02:03] baronhk[m]1 But those people at the University will tell you Black Lives Matter!

[02:47] baronhk[m]1 This isn't all Walmart's fault. It's a red herring. [02:47] baronhk[m]1 What's going on is the government spend a lot of money.

[03:01] baronhk[m]1 At least that way the government deficit is lowered and seniors can use the $30 a month to pay for medicine instead of getting nothing but brochures from the company in the mail explaining why their medicine is moving to more expensive tiers every year.
