| IsambardPrince | So I upgraded both our phones since the credit applied immediately under that promotion. | Feb 16 00:03 |
| IsambardPrince | Then the carrier subsidy came off immediately. | Feb 16 00:03 |
| IsambardPrince | So I ported them both out to a prepaid carrier. | Feb 16 00:04 |
| IsambardPrince | And walked off with two brand new phones. | Feb 16 00:04 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 16 00:04 |
| IsambardPrince | I hate T-Mobile. | Feb 16 00:04 |
| MinceR | same | Feb 16 00:04 |
| IsambardPrince | I had to port out anyway because they noticed I wasn't 55. | Feb 16 00:04 |
| IsambardPrince | I had a 55+ plan that Sprint gave me as a retention offer. | Feb 16 00:04 |
| IsambardPrince | Brandon Lobster said he'd report me for committing some sort of crime. | Feb 16 00:05 |
| IsambardPrince | I said I told the agent I wasn't 55 yet and he said that he didn't care and he gave me the plan. | Feb 16 00:05 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 16 00:05 |
| IsambardPrince | So I had the plan for a couple years under T-Mobile, then in February one year they noticed and said if I didn't come in by April with some ID, they'd raise my bill. | Feb 16 00:06 |
| IsambardPrince | Then I got the email about the free phones. | Feb 16 00:06 |
| IsambardPrince | So I got two free phones and ported them out and canceled T-Mobile. | Feb 16 00:06 |
| MinceR | lol | Feb 16 00:07 |
| MinceR | they got what they deserved | Feb 16 00:07 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, T-Mobile was charging me $55 for two lines on the 55+ plan. | Feb 16 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Mandy said he's moving out before the lease ends. | Feb 16 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Whatever. | Feb 16 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | But... | Feb 16 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | I can log in and take his phone number back. | Feb 16 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | I can put it in the second SIM card slot for my phone. | Feb 16 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Then his iPhone won't work and he can't get his phone number back. | Feb 16 01:20 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, At this upscale restaurant, the average bill per person runs up to $20 per person, or more. | Feb 16 01:26 |
| IsambardPrince | (1985) | Feb 16 01:27 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 16 01:27 |
| IsambardPrince | At $150, it said that they had to call the bank. | Feb 16 01:27 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, You can barely eat at Outback Steakhouse for that for two people. | Feb 16 01:28 |
| MinceR | wasn't it per person? | Feb 16 01:28 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, The idea of an upscale restaurant costing $20 a person is ludicrous, in 2026. | Feb 16 01:28 |
| IsambardPrince | Try about $80-90 per person. | Feb 16 01:28 |
| IsambardPrince | Even a chain steakhouse can cost $50-60 per person. It just depends. | Feb 16 01:29 |
| IsambardPrince | I went to an Outback Steakhouse on a date Christmas Eve, and after tax and tip our bill was $106. | Feb 16 01:29 |
| IsambardPrince | Burger King is roughly $10-12 a person, and that's if you use your Walmart+ discount of 25%. | Feb 16 01:30 |

| IsambardPrince | In 2006 without any coupons, I could go to Burger King for about $7. | Feb 16 01:31 |
| IsambardPrince | And that wasn't even trying to save money. | Feb 16 01:31 |
| MinceR | "You think that’s air you’re breathing now...?" | Feb 16 01:31 |
| IsambardPrince | If I got off work late at night and was REALLY hungry, $7 got a triple Whopper and fries and a drink. | Feb 16 01:31 |

| IsambardPrince | The landlord's idea of affordable is that if you get a one bedroom apartment that was meant for recovering alcoholics in the 70s, you should be able to afford it if you find two roommates and you all work full time. | Feb 16 01:32 |
| IsambardPrince | Of course, there's the cockroaches. | Feb 16 01:32 |
| IsambardPrince | You can eat those. Brandon Lobsta says they're a good source of protein. | Feb 16 01:33 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, The video is Spirited Away. | Feb 16 02:01 |
| IsambardPrince | The one he's playing on DVD. | Feb 16 02:01 |
| IsambardPrince | Recognized it immediately. | Feb 16 02:01 |
| IsambardPrince | Studio Ghibli, I think, still doesn't stream anything. | Feb 16 02:01 |
| IsambardPrince | Could be wrong. | Feb 16 02:02 |
| IsambardPrince | They mention HBO. | Feb 16 02:03 |
| IsambardPrince | Yes, at first it was good. | Feb 16 02:03 |
| IsambardPrince | It had first run movies. | Feb 16 02:03 |
| IsambardPrince | They got people subscribing to it. | Feb 16 02:03 |
| IsambardPrince | Then they enshittified it. | Feb 16 02:03 |
| IsambardPrince | By the 2000s it was playing movies that were 20-30 years old and all the good ones were on Pay Per View. | Feb 16 02:03 |
| IsambardPrince | I mean streaming isn't new in concept, because we've had Pay Per View on cable since the decoder boxes. | Feb 16 02:04 |
| IsambardPrince | The cable companies found out that they could run all the latest movies, and even porn and sporting events, and only put them on Pay Per View. | Feb 16 02:04 |
| IsambardPrince | And you had to call and pay extra. | Feb 16 02:04 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, A mattress topper that costs $3000 and then you have to subscribe for $17 a month. | Feb 16 02:07 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], I think what's going on with software subscriptions and banks is that they've gotten so good at mindfucking the average person. | Feb 16 02:35 |
| IsambardPrince | It's just a total mindfuck. | Feb 16 02:35 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, That credit card guy I watch is explaining the tiers of American Express. | Feb 16 02:50 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't think Maricel is smart enough to Product Change her old Everyday card to the Blue Cash Everyday, not that the rewards program matters much. She owes the bank so much interest from revolving a balance that the rewards don't even matter. | Feb 16 02:50 |
| IsambardPrince | She's at the American Express tier where as long as she pays them something, no lawsuit....this month. | Feb 16 02:50 |
| IsambardPrince | Banks start you out low and go slow. First a "minimum payment" of $40 doesn't seem oppressive, but it's all interest, then you keep spending. | Feb 16 02:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Eventually your minimum payment is like $600 a month and it's all interest and you can no longer spend because all your money is going to that. | Feb 16 02:52 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 16 02:52 |
| IsambardPrince | They're perfectly happy to facilitate your excess spending because they know in the end you won't be able to buy anything, just keep paying them not to sue you. | Feb 16 02:53 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Maricel lacked the self-control to move to the highest tiers of American Express. | Feb 16 02:54 |
| IsambardPrince | They gave her an Everyday card and she maxed it out and made minimum payments. | Feb 16 02:54 |
| techrights-news | "the layoff in November 2024 was not a surprise to many.

| IsambardPrince | From their point of view, people who do that don't have any money and you can't trust them with anything else. | Feb 16 02:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Also, that pisses a lot of banks off so that anything you do pay off, they reduce your credit limit by the same amount so yo ucan't make any more charges. It's called "balance chasing". You make payments, they lower your credit limit to like $50 over what you owe them, every month. | Feb 16 02:56 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.tomshardware.com | Linux kernel 7.0 finally abandons the 28-year-old Intel 440BX chipset's EDAC driver — removal marks goodbye to the legendary motherboard chipset | Tom's Hardware | Feb 16 18:26 | |
| IsambardPrince | If it hasn't actually worked since 2007, why was it still in the source code tree? | Feb 16 18:28 |
| MinceR | they love code that doesn't work | Feb 16 18:28 |
| MinceR | that's also why they merged that horrible hype-V code | Feb 16 18:28 |
| IsambardPrince | Hyper-V is just a module. It does not actually get loaded or do anything unless it's needed. | Feb 16 18:29 |
| IsambardPrince | It bloats the kernel image I suppose. | Feb 16 18:29 |
| IsambardPrince | Distribution kernels are pretty bloated because they have no idea what you'll use them for so they include nearly everything, even if it's just a module. | Feb 16 18:29 |
| IsambardPrince | There's a configuration option that scans the hardware you have on your computer and de-selects everything else. | Feb 16 18:30 |
| IsambardPrince | The problem with this is that if that hardware is something you need, but not currently loaded, then you won't have it if you build that kernel. | Feb 16 18:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Distribution kernels just sort of have to assume you could want to use them any way you could possibly use them. | Feb 16 18:31 |
| IsambardPrince | So they're not the best fit for anything, but they can do almost everything. | Feb 16 18:31 |
| IsambardPrince | That way they only have to build one kernel. | Feb 16 18:32 |
| IsambardPrince | There used to be several kernels in some distributions, and they'd be like a fraction of a percent faster on specific processors or something. | Feb 16 18:32 |
| IsambardPrince | But they got rid of those a long time ago. | Feb 16 18:32 |
| IsambardPrince | It's not as much of a win now if you can eek 1% more performance from the system than it was with much slower single CPU setups. | Feb 16 18:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Every computer you can buy now is so fast you won't notice. | Feb 16 18:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Even the chip on your credit card is thousands of times more powerful than the Apollo Guidance Computer. | Feb 16 18:34 |
| MinceR | it stops being so fast as it fills up the RAM | Feb 16 18:37 |
| MinceR | and fill it up it will, because most "modern" software, including "modern" web sites, are absolute trash | Feb 16 18:39 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | i can relate to what tyou say | Feb 16 18:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | because of the buffered reserved ram | Feb 16 18:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and how it's wastes | Feb 16 18:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or overallocated | Feb 16 18:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they refine kernel stuff based on false assumptions | Feb 16 18:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they don't take into account some older and lighter distros | Feb 16 18:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so even if you get more ram the pc might slow down as you upgrade linux | Feb 16 18:43 |

| MinceR | and i'm pretty sure it shouldn't take 20 minutes of the whole system being frozen to do so | Feb 16 18:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or take more ram | Feb 16 18:43 |
| MinceR | yeah, rust will make it even more of a trash pile | Feb 16 18:43 |

| MinceR | rust is like java, at least the way it's presented: let's give really limited tools to the worlds worst programmers, and expect them to produce flawless code because they're working with limited tools | Feb 16 18:48 |
| MinceR | it didn't work back then, so let's try it again anyway | Feb 16 18:49 |
| MinceR | also like pascal | Feb 16 18:49 |
| MinceR | every single bondage-and-discipline language is about this, and it never works, and devil apes never understand that this doesn't work and just try again and again and again | Feb 16 18:49 |
| MinceR | apparently employing skilled people is not an option | Feb 16 18:50 |
| MinceR | this probably ties into CEOs wanting to eliminate skills | Feb 16 18:50 |
| IsambardPrince | I used to pay rent with money orders. | Feb 16 18:57 |
| IsambardPrince | But that was when Walmart charged 79 cents and you only needed one. | Feb 16 18:58 |
| IsambardPrince | You can still only get up to $1,000 on a single money order, but rent has gone from $550 in 2016 to $850 by 2020 to over $1100 now. | Feb 16 18:58 |
| IsambardPrince | So you'd need a second money order at least, no matter where you rent, and Walmart has increased the price to $1.69 each. | Feb 16 18:59 |
| IsambardPrince | So paying your rent that way went up from 79 cents to $3.38. And you have to do that 12 times a year. | Feb 16 19:00 |
| IsambardPrince | So it went from $9.48 to $40.56 per year if you pay by money order. | Feb 16 19:01 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't like the idea of paying to pay. | Feb 16 19:01 |
| IsambardPrince | But when it goes up 400% in a few years, just the cost to pay, that's too much. | Feb 16 19:02 |
| MinceR | Sony Paystation | Feb 16 19:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | why not cash? | Feb 16 19:02 |
| IsambardPrince | There's also a new sort of predatory loan that's going around. | Feb 16 19:02 |
| IsambardPrince | It's called Early Pay or something. | Feb 16 19:02 |
| MinceR | s/st/St/ | Feb 16 19:03 |
| IsambardPrince | Most low wage employers partner with companies that say you can advance part of your next paycheck with no interest. | Feb 16 19:03 |
| IsambardPrince | But then they demand tips. | Feb 16 19:03 |
| IsambardPrince | At least one of them shows a picture of a hungry child and the less you tip them, the hungrier and sadder the child gets. | Feb 16 19:03 |
| IsambardPrince | But only 10% of the "tip" goes to a charity that feeds children. | Feb 16 19:03 |
| IsambardPrince | So if you tip $10, that charity only gets $1. | Feb 16 19:04 |
| MinceR | lol | Feb 16 19:04 |
| IsambardPrince | But they know that when you see the slider and the child gets sad and hungry, you "tip". | Feb 16 19:04 |
| IsambardPrince | So then if you say no to the "tips" and make the cartoon child sad. | Feb 16 19:04 |
| MinceR | are the children AI generated? | Feb 16 19:04 |
| IsambardPrince | They say "If you want the money now there's a fee of $6." | Feb 16 19:04 |
| IsambardPrince | "If you want it within 3 days, you can have it for free." | Feb 16 19:04 |
| IsambardPrince | Well, the reason people want money from their next paycheck is they owe someone money now. | Feb 16 19:05 |
| IsambardPrince | So then you pay the fee. | Feb 16 19:05 |
| IsambardPrince | And between the tip and the fee, you just paid them more than you would have to get the same amount from a payday loan shop. | Feb 16 19:05 |
| IsambardPrince | And since it's not technically a loan, laws against payday loan stores some states have do not apply. | Feb 16 19:05 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Then these executives testified to congress that it wasn't a loan. | Feb 16 19:07 |
| IsambardPrince | And one of the CEOs accidentally says "there's no interest because they're BORROWING from themselves, I mean not borrowing, I mean" | Feb 16 19:08 |

| IsambardPrince | You had one job! Lie to a toothless panel of foul bureaucrats who were never going to stop you anyway. | Feb 16 19:08 |

| MinceR | wat | Feb 16 19:09 |
| IsambardPrince | He said it was not a loan. | Feb 16 19:09 |
| IsambardPrince | Then he said they were borrowing. | Feb 16 19:09 |
| IsambardPrince | Then he tried to correct himself and stammered. | Feb 16 19:09 |
| MinceR | how is it supposed to not be a loan? | Feb 16 19:09 |
| IsambardPrince | Because reasons. | Feb 16 19:10 |
| MinceR | well, i guess it works, as long as the corporation has enough money | Feb 16 19:11 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Credit Card vs. Debit Card - YouTube | Feb 16 19:32 | |
| IsambardPrince | In general, I always say to avoid credit cards that have an annual fee. | Feb 16 19:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Why would you pay an annual fee on a product the bank is hoping you'll misuse and get into debt with? | Feb 16 19:34 |
| IsambardPrince | The annual fee is billed to the card, so it's just money you owe and you didn't even buy anything. | Feb 16 19:34 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | does USA have this thing called "Debit"? | Feb 16 19:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | in us films they call everything "Credit" | Feb 16 19:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | debit cards have a different name? | Feb 16 19:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i never had a credit card | Feb 16 19:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | in my whole life | Feb 16 19:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | we got spammed a lot with credit card offers | Feb 16 19:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | dozens of times | Feb 16 19:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, but debit cards are stupid. | Feb 16 19:35 |
| IsambardPrince | There's almost nobody that has a rewards debit card. | Feb 16 19:36 |
| IsambardPrince | If there is, they might pay you half a percent. | Feb 16 19:36 |
| IsambardPrince | You don't build a credit score with a debit card. | Feb 16 19:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | credit score is fopr lenders | Feb 16 19:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like ramsay said | Feb 16 19:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you don't need credit score | Feb 16 19:36 |
| IsambardPrince | If someone steals or clones it, they take your money and you have to notice within 30 days and report it or it's all gone. | Feb 16 19:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | if you don't plan to borrow | Feb 16 19:36 |
| IsambardPrince | And it's all gone until the bank might give it back, so you can't pay your bills. | Feb 16 19:36 |
| MinceR | credit score is for people who live in nazi america | Feb 16 19:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i know | Feb 16 19:37 |
| IsambardPrince | So basically debit cards are risk without benefit. | Feb 16 19:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's a cultural thing | Feb 16 19:37 |
| IsambardPrince | If someone clones it you might have your bank accoutn drained. | Feb 16 19:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i wonder what % of usians have credit cards | Feb 16 19:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i know gulgboy had some | Feb 16 19:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | bercause he boasted about it | Feb 16 19:37 |
| IsambardPrince | And even if you get it back, it'll be 3 months after your bills can't be paid. | Feb 16 19:37 |
| IsambardPrince | And your landlord will evict you. | Feb 16 19:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | most people here use a debit card | Feb 16 19:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and it's what banks give | Feb 16 19:38 |
| IsambardPrince | If someone steals your credit card, you report it to the bank, they delete the fraudulent charges, and your bank account was completely untouched. | Feb 16 19:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | us is deep in debt | Feb 16 19:38 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-tradingeconomics.com | United States Government Debt | Feb 16 19:38 | |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, because the US is full of fools like my cousins who go to Disney three times a year on credit cards and Home Equity Loans. | Feb 16 19:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | right | Feb 16 19:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and then they go on prozac | Feb 16 19:38 |
| IsambardPrince | They get back and the water is shut off. | Feb 16 19:39 |
| MinceR | when i had a credit card, i had to do a bank transfer to pay my debt once a month | Feb 16 19:39 |
| MinceR | extra administration for nothing | Feb 16 19:39 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | better shut off water than brown water | Feb 16 19:39 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], Most people are not smart enough to beat the bank at their own game. | Feb 16 19:39 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | at least yto can resume paying for waster and get clean water | Feb 16 19:39 |
| IsambardPrince | It's possible, but the bank knows that it's a rare person who gets back more than they'll lose. | Feb 16 19:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Like less than 5% of their customers. | Feb 16 19:39 |
| MinceR | sounds like most people would be better off with a debit card, then | Feb 16 19:39 |
| IsambardPrince | So they consider those people a cost of doing business. | Feb 16 19:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Then they acquire the other 95% who max out the card. | Feb 16 19:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | MinceR: but they need to show off in FB | Feb 16 19:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | by buying things using borrowed money | Feb 16 19:40 |
| MinceR | lol | Feb 16 19:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | true story | Feb 16 19:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not ajoke | Feb 16 19:40 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], If you were the bank and you could spam people with offers like $400 to open a checking account or $500 to open a credit card and spend a lot in the first several months. | Feb 16 19:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | likem i said | Feb 16 19:41 |
| IsambardPrince | But then 95 times out of 100 those people fell into a trap and owed you 27% interest.... | Feb 16 19:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i never borrwed any money | Feb 16 19:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | nor did rianne | Feb 16 19:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | we don' | Feb 16 19:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Would you do that as the bank? | Feb 16 19:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | t plan to ever borrow money | Feb 16 19:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | banks take advantage of addicts | Feb 16 19:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Right, but for the bank, sinking the loss of the other 5 customers is fine. | Feb 16 19:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and self-destructive p[eople | Feb 16 19:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | who p[ay mortgages | Feb 16 19:41 |
| IsambardPrince | If you can get those other 95 onboard and keep taking from them. | Feb 16 19:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like 6% a month or year now? | Feb 16 19:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | maybe 1% a month | Feb 16 19:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | as inflation soars | Feb 16 19:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | by the time they turn 65 they paid for two homes | Feb 16 19:42 |
| IsambardPrince | The money they pay out in bonuses and cashback is money that other people are losing because they won't live within their means. | Feb 16 19:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but got only one | Feb 16 19:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | slow clap | Feb 16 19:42 |
| IsambardPrince | I agree, you shouldn't fund my bonuses and cashback. | Feb 16 19:42 |
| IsambardPrince | But as long as people do, you'd be crazy not to take it. | Feb 16 19:42 |
| IsambardPrince | I mean, those bonus churns can bring in $20,000 over the course of 10 years. | Feb 16 19:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Banks know that for every person who gets really good at churning, there will be like 1,000 that get in serious trouble. | Feb 16 19:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Banks don't even care that there are people on Youtube teaching churning. | Feb 16 19:43 |
| IsambardPrince | They pay them to do that. | Feb 16 19:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Why would they pay them to teach people to churn? | Feb 16 19:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Most of those people think they'll be churners and end up being in a lot of trouble. | Feb 16 19:44 |
| IsambardPrince | It plays on the Dunning-Kruger Effect. The less capable you are, the more likely you are to think you're very clever. | Feb 16 19:45 |

| IsambardPrince | I've seen it benchmarked both ways. | Feb 16 23:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Normally full drive encryption performed better than just the home directory. | Feb 16 23:53 |

| IsambardPrince | Windows XP actually had a much uglier theme than the beta versions (Windows Whistler) did. | Feb 16 23:56 |
| IsambardPrince | When I was using Windows XP, I patched the uxtheme.dll so it would skip the cryptographic check for Microsoft-signed themes. | Feb 16 23:56 |
| IsambardPrince | And then you could make it look like anything. | Feb 16 23:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Eventually someone released a theme that looked like Ubuntu 6.10 with GNOME. | Feb 16 23:57 |
| IsambardPrince | Mostly I used watercolor though. | Feb 16 23:57 |
| IsambardPrince | It got rid of the horrific oversized window bar and goofy icons. | Feb 16 23:57 |
