| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I miss physical media because they usually overproduced. | Aug 16 03:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Then I'd buy it when it had no remaining value and they were selling it cheap just to avoid a total loss and get rid of it. | Aug 16 03:54 |
| IsambardPrince | When you're dealing with something where they have to guess, they usually guess high. | Aug 16 03:54 |
| IsambardPrince | It's better to sell some marked down than guess low and not sell the full potential. | Aug 16 03:54 |
| IsambardPrince | I frequently used obsolete software back in the day because it's what they sold cheap. | Aug 16 03:56 |
| IsambardPrince | In the end it was basically that or don't have anything. | Aug 16 03:57 |
| IsambardPrince | Because like, they sold me an obsolete copy of Sun StarOffice in like 1999, I think they marked it down to a penny to get rid of it. It didn't need Internet Explorer on the system to do anything, and it had filters for MS Office formats current to Office 97. | Aug 16 03:58 |
| IsambardPrince | Not needing IE for anything was a bonus because I didn't have Internet Explorer and I was not interested in installing it (I removed it from Windows 98 using third-party tools.) | Aug 16 03:58 |
| IsambardPrince | Office 97 ran without IE, to an extent. It had a very crude "detection" routine that tried to see if IE was there, and if it wasn't, it had a bundled copy it would demand that you install on Windows 95/NT4. | Aug 16 04:00 |
| IsambardPrince | If you installed Office 97 first and then removed IE (whatever build of Windows 98 you had came with an IE that was newer than Office 97 bundled, so it would pass that check and continue), Most of Office 97 would still work, with the exceptions of Outlook and it would crash if you brought up Help. | Aug 16 04:01 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | current place? | Aug 16 20:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, building problem. | Aug 16 20:34 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm building a case against the landlord. | Aug 16 20:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Their playbook is "enter and perform pest control and document cleanliness" of the entire building when someone says roaches. | Aug 16 20:35 |
| IsambardPrince | So it's not optional. They do the whole building at once and if anyone is living like a pig they get fined and put on notice for eviction. | Aug 16 20:35 |
| IsambardPrince | My apartment is spotless and I am maintaining this for two reasons. | Aug 16 20:36 |
| IsambardPrince | When they inspect they can't blame or fine us. | Aug 16 20:36 |
| IsambardPrince | And they'll move on to others and take care of them. | Aug 16 20:36 |
| IsambardPrince | I suspect that guy that made the noise complaint and was throwing things at the walls. | Aug 16 20:36 |
| IsambardPrince | I did not say a word about him. | Aug 16 20:36 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm just going to let them raid everyone and if his apartment is a dump then he gets a $400 fine and has to clean it. | Aug 16 20:37 |
| *asacengyet (~asacengyet@8pzu2fcsusfzc.irc) has joined #techrights | Aug 16 20:43 | |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: I've read that the management company I rent from is highly responsive to pest management tickets. | Aug 16 20:45 |
| IsambardPrince | So that's good. | Aug 16 20:45 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't expect them to be perfect. What I expect is them to abide by the contract, the law, and to make reasonable efforts to solve the problem. | Aug 16 20:46 |
| IsambardPrince | And if they can raid the building, deal with the slobs, and perform pest control, that's what I need from them. | Aug 16 20:46 |
| IsambardPrince | I can't just go kick that guy's door down and make him clean, but they can. | Aug 16 20:47 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Piyush's building was the worst one I've ever seen. | Aug 16 20:47 |
| IsambardPrince | He didn't do basic upkeep of any sort. | Aug 16 20:47 |
| IsambardPrince | The roof was leaking into the hallways and it was providing a source of water for the roach colonies in the walls every time there was a storm. | Aug 16 20:48 |
| IsambardPrince | That building had a lot of very basic upkeep problems, total neglect. | Aug 16 20:48 |
| admfubar | I have a couple of HGST dives with nearly 2000 days continuous use on them, with no errors.. https://www.techspot.com/news/113499-new-study-finds-hgst-wd-hard-drives-fail.htm | Aug 16 20:48 |

| IsambardPrince | The landlords are always out here doing something. | Aug 16 20:48 |
| IsambardPrince | They mow the lawn, they plant flowers, they powerwash, they shampoo the carpets. When the laundry machines are broken, you tell them and 3 days later it's fixed. | Aug 16 20:48 |
| IsambardPrince | So I'm expecting a much more professional response than Piyush. | Aug 16 20:49 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Piyush finally had some online activity recently. | Aug 16 20:49 |
| IsambardPrince | He "liked" a post on LinkedIn about this guy in California that helps landlords deal with squatters. | Aug 16 20:49 |
| IsambardPrince | Instead of taking them to court, the landlord signs a lease with this guy, who moves in and starts becoming intolerable until the squatter leaves. | Aug 16 20:50 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-This Carrier Pidge app delivers texts at 110 mph, unless your virtual pigeon gets lost, distracted, or dies | TechSpot | Aug 16 20:50 | |
| IsambardPrince | That tells you a lot about Piyush's mindset already. | Aug 16 20:50 |
| IsambardPrince | All of his online activities are "I am oppressed by laws, courts, the police, and tenants that I rent to." | Aug 16 20:50 |
| IsambardPrince | "I shouldn't have to lower myself to going through a process." | Aug 16 20:51 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: He got his first four year degree in India apparently. | Aug 16 20:51 |
| IsambardPrince | It was a degree in Chemistry. | Aug 16 20:51 |
| IsambardPrince | The Chemist who does not understand how RAID works. | Aug 16 20:52 |
| IsambardPrince | :) | Aug 16 20:52 |
| IsambardPrince | People living in roachy apartments tend to deal with the roaches in all of the wrong ways. | Aug 16 20:53 |
| admfubar | https://www.techspot.com/news/113491-windows-defender-bug-making-vlc-take-30-seconds.html | Aug 16 20:53 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-A Windows Defender bug is making VLC take 30 seconds to open an MP3 file | TechSpot | Aug 16 20:53 | |
| IsambardPrince | Instead of immediately initiating Integrated Pest Management into their routine, they just order a can of RAID and start spraying individual roaches that they see. | Aug 16 20:53 |
| MinceR | piyush could easily get out of all that "oppression" | Aug 16 20:54 |
| IsambardPrince | The problem with this approach is that while RAID will knock down a roach you spray it directly on, that individual roach is so little of the whole problem that it is nearly completely irrelevant. | Aug 16 20:54 |
| MinceR | simply by not renting to anyone | Aug 16 20:54 |
| IsambardPrince | If you spent what that can of RAID cost on sticky traps, they sit there, they kill 100 roaches before you'll even see the first one. | Aug 16 20:55 |
| IsambardPrince | RAID does not do much about a pest problem, it provides psychological relief because the consumer is supposed to see that they're killing individuals which are not very important to the hive, so the issue never abates. | Aug 16 20:55 |
| IsambardPrince | Bait and Trap will always beat waiting until your cabinets are crawling and blasting roaches with RAID. | Aug 16 20:59 |
| IsambardPrince | That apartment building with Piyush ended up like that. You'd open the cabinets and you could kill a dozen roaches. Then open it again that evening and kill 4-5 more. | Aug 16 21:01 |
| IsambardPrince | And there was never any progress because those cabinets were the end point of the problem. They had breached and filled every other area and there were thousands of them in the walls behind the cabinet. | Aug 16 21:02 |
| IsambardPrince | Eventually I grabbed caulk at Walmart and started caulking every gap I could find, then killing the ones I could see with RAID and electric swatters and sticky traps and Ortho spray, and roach powder. | Aug 16 21:02 |
| IsambardPrince | I had to caulk and seal and unleash chemical warfare on my own kitchen. | Aug 16 21:03 |
| IsambardPrince | And that was one of those 90% solutions. And only after reaching for some very nasty shit. | Aug 16 21:03 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: Speaking of nasty shit.... | Aug 16 21:05 |
| IsambardPrince | There was a bug crawling on the exterior window. | Aug 16 21:05 |
| IsambardPrince | It was the stuff of nightmares. | Aug 16 21:05 |
| IsambardPrince | Some kind of black moth that looked like something out of The Silence of the Lambs. | Aug 16 21:06 |
| IsambardPrince | Piyush had my all time most quotable landlord reply when I asked why the floor in the halls was soaking wet and smelled like RAID. | Aug 16 21:09 |
| IsambardPrince | "Yes, someone saw a bug and we sprayed proactively." | Aug 16 21:09 |
| MinceR | :) | Aug 16 21:09 |
| IsambardPrince | I felt like texting back "They saw a bug? Out of a few million? How perceptive." | Aug 16 21:15 |
| IsambardPrince | "Someone saw an ice cube, so we turned the Titanic proactively." | Aug 16 21:16 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: So I was telling my partner my grocery strategy. I get cheap staple items at the big box nearby and then go to Jewel for all the rest. Jewel's profit model runs a bunch of loss leaders every week and they plan that they will recoup this when you start buying pantry staples, dairy, snacks, etc. Which they do carry, for a horrendous markup. | Aug 16 21:19 |
| IsambardPrince | I've found that over a single week's worth of shopping, you can easily save $20 on your grocery bill by cherry picking the other store that's trying to lure you in with cheap groceries (limited selection) so you'll be forced to walk around high margin stuff and probably buy some. | Aug 16 21:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Jewel has Boursin cheese for $7.99 and you only get one. Sam's Club is $9.96 and you get three. | Aug 16 21:21 |
| IsambardPrince | I usually buy 9 of them at once and shove them in the freezer out of a Sam's Club order, and that gets me through the next 2-3 months without any spoilage. The texture changes, but it melts in a recipe exactly the same way. | Aug 16 21:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I told my mom when she said "Jeffrey's recipes are so expensive because he leans hard on Boursin." "Just stock up and freeze them at Sam's. Over the course of 9 packages of the cheese the difference is over $42 plus tax." | Aug 16 21:24 |

| IsambardPrince | I can't believe that anyone would actually buy a robot vacuum. | Aug 16 21:50 |
| IsambardPrince | It's no wonder those companies file bankruptcy. | Aug 16 21:50 |
| IsambardPrince | You can get a great vacuum for about $100. | Aug 16 21:50 |
| IsambardPrince | Or you can get a shitty one that barely has any suction and runs off a battery and uploads the layout of your home to a web server. | Aug 16 21:51 |
