I have to tell the BMW's computer that there's a new battery. [00:02] MinceR easy to avoid: don't buy BMW products [00:02] DaemonFC I mean, I guess hitting a button telling it there's a new battery might be useful if it reminds the driver 4 years later that they may want to go ahead and change it or something. [00:02] DaemonFC But I don't see why it would add $300. [00:03] MinceR as they say, pressing the button costs $1, knowing which button to press costs $299 [00:03] *psymin has quit (Quit: Leaving) [00:03] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR, Those control arms that came off the Impala today both had 276,000 miles on them and were both 20 years old. [00:03] *psymin has quit (Quit: Leaving) [00:03] DaemonFC They were the originals. [00:03] DaemonFC Most sites I looked at say expect failure between 100,000-200,000 miles. [00:04] DaemonFC It's pretty easy to diagnose that you have a ball joint problem. [00:04] DaemonFC If the car is going clunk clunk squeaky squeaky clunk clunk clunk.....it's a fair bet. [00:05] DaemonFC You can also push up and down on them sometimes and see if they sound squeaky. [00:09] DaemonFC MinceR, I wish I'd kept that Crown Victoria.

Gunderson [00:10] *alextee (~alextee@bqaiucian72fn.irc) has joined #techrights [00:10] DaemonFC To get simpler designs that usually work and are at least cheaper to fix when they break, you have to get older cars. [00:10] DaemonFC But it's getting harder to get an older car, because people sent them to the crushers so they could get cheap junk.

[00:14] DaemonFC https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/clunker.asp [00:14] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.investopedia.com | Clunker Definition [00:14] *alextee has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [00:14] DaemonFC "They argue that the program failed due to hidden effects and unseen consequences of the program and that the program created a shortage of used vehicles, causing used car prices to surge and harming low-income people. They also argue that the program cost taxpayers $3 billion and that the program did little to stimulate the U.S. economyeven in the short runbecause it helped foreign auto manufacturers at the expense of domes [00:14] DaemonFC tic manufacturers." [00:15] DaemonFC Gee, the Democrats created a big government program that didn't work very well and harmed the poor. [00:15] DaemonFC I'm shocked! [00:16] DaemonFC MinceR, Nobody will lend me money at a decent rate, but I can usually pay some cash every several months to a mechanic to keep this thing going until my credit recovers from the bankruptcy. [00:16] DaemonFC If I take out a car loan with bad credit, it'll cost me more in interest on the car I purchase over the life of the loan than paying a mechanic to patch this one up. [00:19] DaemonFC I averaged it out and even if it costs nearly $250 a month on average to keep patching this car, that's still not bad enough to get a newer car. [00:20] DaemonFC Because with interest and insurance, it would cost me over $600 a month for a newer used car, and when I paid it off I'd be in exactly the same boat I'm in now. [00:21] DaemonFC I'd just lose another $350 a month on top of this (even if there were no repairs) and then I'd have another 17-18 year old car with a bunch of stuff ready to fail.

They put out a statement as to how their policies on logging and everything won't change under Kape and how you don't need to worry. [11:22] DaemonFC But the best thing for an intelligence agency to do would be to run a VPN and just sell people subscriptions. [11:22] DaemonFC That way it's revenue neutral and you can MITM everything. [11:23] DaemonFC And I think it's pretty odd that while everyone else charged $4-5 a month even on the 1-2 year plans, PIA is as cheap as $2.33. [11:23] DaemonFC It seems like for less than half the price of everyone else, they wouldn't be turning a profit. [11:24] DaemonFC And maybe the feds are okay with just breaking even so they don't even have to put it in the black budget or explain how the funds come from another program. [11:24] DaemonFC A successful parasite convinces the host that it does something useful, or at least benign. [11:24] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR, Oh, Walmart didn't pay Mandy for those two days for the third vaccine shot. [11:25] DaemonFC I figured they wouldn't. THey have an HR person there, but she's mostly useful for ducking the employees and cutting them off mid-sentence and trying to make them use apps and web pages that are very confusing. [11:25] schestowitz-TR let me ask, [11:25] DaemonFC He says his boss told him that he cleared the attendance points though. [11:26] schestowitz-TR is the third shot (so-called 'booster') higher on dosage than the second? [11:26] schestowitz-TR I have not been keeping up [11:26] schestowitz-TR re Mandy [11:26] DaemonFC No, it's the same. [11:26] schestowitz-TR sounds like he spent 2 more days in bed [11:26] schestowitz-TR and Walmart is too poor to pay him [11:26] schestowitz-TR (rianne says) [11:26] schestowitz-TR (in the background) [11:26] DaemonFC He did spend two more days in bed. [11:26] DaemonFC I mean, he could have covered the time off with PPTO, but they said you don't have to. [11:27] DaemonFC They only give you 2.4 hours or so per pay period of PPTO, and like an hour of PTO. [11:27] DaemonFC So it accumulates very slowly, and PPTO is the only kind that can cover sick days without pointing you. [11:28] schestowitz-TR I see you enjor yout cocktails then [11:28] schestowitz-TR and US still has 2000+ deaths a day [11:28] DaemonFC So it's up to you if you want to take a point and be short on your check or if you want to cover it with PPTO time, which doesn't regenerate very fast. [11:28] schestowitz-TR which they need to explain [11:28] schestowitz-TR for me, personally, efficacy looks crap [11:28] schestowitz-TR they said 90% [11:28] schestowitz-TR ythen 95% [11:28] schestowitz-TR then higher [11:29] schestowitz-TR seems like pure marketing [11:29] DaemonFC Many people just take points and a short paycheck unless they're getting close to being fired. [11:29] schestowitz-TR and it doesn't hold water anymorew [11:29] schestowitz-TR so they blame Greek letters now [11:29] schestowitz-TR today the "booster" [11:29] schestowitz-TR later "zeta booster" [11:29] DaemonFC Too risky to burn Protected PTO and then maybe not have anything that can cover you later.

[11:44] DaemonFC "They have a million ways to cheat you and then shake your hand, like expensive warranties that don't answer the phone or pay claims, and GAP insurance that's twice as much as it should cost for the risk they take on. And it's all in the loan." [11:44] schestowitz-TR or his nickname also? [11:44] DaemonFC Uh, it's a nickname. [11:44] DaemonFC He has an Arabic name. [11:44] DaemonFC Saq....something or other. [11:44] DaemonFC Not coming to me. [11:44] schestowitz-TR makes sense [11:45] DaemonFC Everyone calls him Shaq. [11:45] schestowitz-TR Shakir etc. [11:45] DaemonFC The finance department in the car lots are the fucking worst. [11:45] DaemonFC They say it's the salesman, but long after he's done with you, you find out it's the finance department. [11:46] DaemonFC Their job is to pack the loan with a bunch of shit that isn't even the car, or is barely relevant, or is a mystery fee that's hundreds or thousands of dollars. [11:46] DaemonFC Then to get you the loan that gives them kickbacks, even if it costs you another $1,000 in interest. [11:47] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR, One of them was fucking with me while I was in the finance department haggling over John's Ford. [11:47] DaemonFC He was trying to sell us some "environmental fallout and puncture protection plan". [11:48] DaemonFC I said, "So you're going to install it right before we leave with the car? It's 1 AM right now. What is it you're going to do with the car?". [11:48] DaemonFC So he fumbled for a bit and talked about road salt and bird droppings. [11:49] DaemonFC I said, "So you have a shield like they do on Star Trek that keeps salt and bird droppings from hitting the car if we finance a $1,200 plan with you?". [11:49] DaemonFC That is literally how awful these people are. [11:50] DaemonFC He goes, "But it covers you if you, like, get in the car and you have your keys on your belt and one of them pokes a hole in the seat.". [11:50] DaemonFC I said, "Noted. John, don't do that.". [11:51] DaemonFC "Don't poke holes in your new car." [11:51] DaemonFC Like, these people are really good. I mean, I had no idea that there were folks who would add something like this to a car that only cost $12,900 to start out with. [11:51] DaemonFC I mean, it's a Ford Fiesta for fuck's sake. [11:52] DaemonFC It's a work and back car. It's not going to last forever. You'll be pushing it to have it around for half as long as my old Impala has been running up and down the road. [11:53] DaemonFC Your job is to pay it off as quickly as possible. And those people in the finance department don't care if it's an ongoing disaster for you 5 years from now because they get their money when they sell the car. [11:54] DaemonFC It was pretty easy to deduce what was in the front of the Impala going clunk clunk squeak clunk because there just wasn't a whole lot of the original suspension left on that axle. [11:55] DaemonFC It pretty much all went from original parts to new parts over the last two years. [11:55] DaemonFC When it goes, it goes. And it goes pretty fast. [11:56] schestowitz-TR DaemonFC: can you read a 2-para article?

[11:59] DaemonFC Everyone took advantage of the downtime, I guess, to migrate to somehing else. It had probably been a long time coming, but when you're in the thick of things, it can be hard to abandon something that's plodding along and working just okay enough to get you by. ● Sep 16 [12:00] DaemonFC The COVID mess probably did to Microsoft in a year what would have happened in five or six anyway. [12:01] DaemonFC They'll try to avoid talking about that, which means that we should. Everyone is trying to get away and will the first chance that they get. It's like women who were being controlled by their husband to the point that he puts their paychecks in his bank account to make sure they don't have enough money to start over.

[12:09] DaemonFC I liked your comment that EVs don't save the world, they just turn more of the world into another car. [12:10] DaemonFC They're not guiltless. They produce carbon emissions.

[12:45] DaemonFC It's an emergency stash that's earning some interest while it waits. [12:46] DaemonFC Hopefully, nothing terrible happens and I just sell them 5 years later no interest penalty. [12:52] DaemonFC schestowitz, Well, Capitalism is a funny thing. [12:52] DaemonFC It has options for every income level. [12:53] DaemonFC I was thinking about the king size bed I bought for $230 for the mattress and $100 for the frame. [12:53] XRevan86 https://meduza.io/en/news/2021/09/16/russian-telecoms-operators-start-blocking-google-docs-after-navalny-s-team-uses-it-to-publish-smart-vote-endorsements [12:53] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-meduza.io | NO TITLE [12:53] DaemonFC And how people pay $5,000 total and it's not that much more comfortable than this. [12:53] *inky_ has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [12:53] DaemonFC They figure out what people are willing to pay, and then sell them one for that much. [12:53] DaemonFC It's as simple as that. [12:54] XRevan86 https://meduza.io/en/news/2021/09/15/navalny-s-strategic-voting-initiative-releases-endorsements-favoring-russia-s-communist-party no surprises there [12:54] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-meduza.io | NO TITLE [12:54] DaemonFC schestowitz, The government doesn't know what their COVID strategy is. [12:54] schestowitz XRevan86: still no response from meduza? [12:55] schestowitz DaemonFC: neither do I [12:55] DaemonFC COurt is now either in person or Zoom because they told people it would be in person again after the police said show up on Zoom. [12:55] schestowitz tbh, I lack a solution [12:55] schestowitz except for myself [12:55] schestowitz but I am not a farmer or truck driver [12:55] schestowitz also, my wife works in computing like me [12:55] schestowitz so we perpetually self-isolate [12:56] schestowitz today at 3:30 she will do the hazmat expedition [12:56] schestowitz hunter-gatherer yanyan [12:56] XRevan86 schestowitz: I wonder if they've even gotten my e-mail. [12:56] schestowitz XRevan86: it does not bounce [12:57] schestowitz DaemonFC: I am VERY unimpressed by the "world's lab" [12:57] XRevan86 schestowitz: Are ye sure ye don't want to cast https://nitter.eu/meduza_en in a post? [12:57] schestowitz many cases like last year and many deaths/cases also [12:57] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-nitter.eu | Meduza in English (@meduza_en) | nitter [12:57] schestowitz maybe a bit better than before [12:57] XRevan86 Or reply to one of theirs. [12:57] schestowitz but not ten times better, maybe just twice [12:57] schestowitz with effects wearing off and third dose (euphemism "booster") [12:58] XRevan86 I'm not going to make a Twitter account just to do that. [12:58] DaemonFC DaemonFC: I am VERY unimpressed by the "world's lab" [12:59] DaemonFC I told mom I found myself taking too long to recall common words for things sometimes. [12:59] DaemonFC Just often enough to notice. [12:59] DaemonFC She thinks it's the vaccine. [12:59] techrights-news For over a month now @meduza_en RSS feed has been defunct. Third or fourth time in 2 years! And they don't even respond when you report it to then. Are they tech-savvy at all? If not, maybe we can help? [12:59] DaemonFC Like, yesterday, it took me ten seconds or longer to say "green beans" when Mandy's friend was having dinner with us and I wanted to know if she wanted some mixed vegetables. ● Sep 16 [13:00] schestowitz I did forget a word two minutes ago [13:00] XRevan86 schestowitz: That can work :) [13:00] schestowitz but it was a name [13:00] DaemonFC Mandy says "she doesn't like the green ones" and I said "Oh, the....the...." then I realized I knew what it was but I couldn't remember to call it a green bean. [13:00] schestowitz nemesis [13:00] DaemonFC I've had little things like that happening over the last week. [13:01] DaemonFC Then I was telling mom about a character on Adventure Time that reminded me of Grandma a little because of the way she spoke and I couldn't remember the name was "tree trunks" without going to Wikipedia and looking at the character names. [13:01] DaemonFC It's just weird. Random, even. [13:01] DaemonFC Could just be lack of sleep. I don't know. [13:02] DaemonFC Mom says that some of her patients took the Moderna vaccine and it sent them spiraling further into dementia, including patients that they never had these behaviors out of before. [13:02] XRevan86 After the Google Docs block Navalny's team published the smartvote information to GitHub. [13:03] DaemonFC One of them was a very nice man who just had memory problems and he took the Moderna vaccine and then he developed worse memory issues and became violent. [13:03] DaemonFC Tried to push another resident out of a window. [13:03] DaemonFC They had to send him away to a mental facility. [13:03] schestowitz XRevan86: googlesoft [13:03] XRevan86 I'm actually curious if they'll dare block it also. [13:03] DaemonFC I'm hearing a lot of weird shit about the vaccines. [13:03] schestowitz they're doing it wrong(r) [13:04] DaemonFC And it's making me wonder if we took too much of a risk compared to COVID itself. [13:04] XRevan86 schestowitz: They're trying to hide behind a big service. [13:04] XRevan86 Google Docs wasn't big enough. [13:04] schestowitz "big" [13:04] schestowitz big is not safety [13:04] DaemonFC I mean, obviously they can't suck the vaccine back out of us at this point. [13:04] XRevan86 schestowitz: In this case, it kind of is. [13:04] schestowitz as if Russia will block the whole of it and not just ask Google to remove that one bit [13:04] DaemonFC But I'm not sure if we'd take another dose if they say one is needed in the future. [13:04] schestowitz Medium does that [13:05] schestowitz FB and Twitter also [13:05] schestowitz they surgically remove things to appease [13:05] XRevan86 schestowitz: Google can stall, and they need to block *now*. [13:05] schestowitz it's not safety [13:05] schestowitz heck, might as well use gemini [13:05] schestowitz or netzero [13:05] schestowitz or what catalans used [13:05] schestowitz where there are many proxies [13:05] XRevan86 schestowitz: That stuff is insanely easy to block. [13:05] schestowitz and it's hard to remove or block all of them [13:05] XRevan86 I mean gemini [13:05] schestowitz sort of like gemini proxies [13:06] schestowitz gemini runs from my office [13:06] XRevan86 schestowitz: Just block the whole protocol and the proxies? [13:06] schestowitz to block it they need to block BT from giving me internet service [13:06] schestowitz and even then I can fire up a xG dongle [13:06] schestowitz and maintain a home connection [13:06] schestowitz the proxies use http [13:07] DaemonFC https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/sep/15/apple-delays-child-exploitation-detection-code/ [13:07] schestowitz they cannot use protocol as criterion [13:07] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.washingtontimes.com | Apple delays child exploitation detection code - Washington Times [13:07] XRevan86 schestowitz: Russian ISPs block on their end. [13:07] schestowitz they need a list of all existing proxies [13:07] DaemonFC The Washington Times is demanding the backdoor into the iPhone. [13:07] XRevan86 schestowitz: Some even block DHT now. [13:07] schestowitz and I can fire up several new ones [13:07] DaemonFC Calling for the arrest an imprisonment of Apple employees if they don't do it. [13:07] XRevan86 Because smartvote tried to use DHT for the job. [13:07] schestowitz running a gemini web proxy is super simple [13:08] DaemonFC They already check iCloud, and they have every right to do that, and most people with CP are dumb enough to put it there, I'd imagine. [13:08] schestowitz we considered setting one up for our own use [13:08] DaemonFC But they need to stay out of people's devices otherwise it will be used for more later. [13:08] schestowitz there are several existing implementations for it [13:08] DaemonFC And not just by "free" countries. [13:09] DaemonFC What the Washington Times is effectively saying is they don't care if the Chinese government uses this to track down and murder lots of innocent people. [13:10] XRevan86 schestowitz: Maybe if there were enough proxies that it's too hard to just block all the ones regular people could find. [13:10] DaemonFC You have to ask what's the very worst thing that every world government could possibly make Apple do with this. [13:11] DaemonFC And then compare it to catching some pervs who are so stupid that most of them will get caught in some other way. [13:11] DaemonFC Police officers get on apps and pretend to be underage all the time. [13:11] DaemonFC They never have trouble arresting people, either. [13:11] schestowitz-TR old tactics [13:11] schestowitz-TR 1990s stuff [13:11] DaemonFC Even though it should be obvious they're walking right into a trap. [13:12] schestowitz-TR now cops in LA fetch people's social control media accounts when detained [13:12] schestowitz-TR to look for dirt on them [13:12] schestowitz-TR to justify action against them [13:12] schestowitz-TR DaemonFC: yes, that's how they caught Microsoft Peter [13:12] DaemonFC Socialized Insecurity does it too if they do a Continuing Disability Review. [13:12] schestowitz-TR he was using many code words [13:12] schestowitz-TR iirc, over telegram [13:12] DaemonFC They look on your Facebook to see what you're up to. [13:13] DaemonFC Lawyers say set everything to private or just delete Facebook entirely. [13:13] techrights-ipfs-bot IPFS downstream, 60 mins: avg(k/sec) 18.91 IPFS upstream: avg(k/sec) 42.46 swarm size (avg): 260.65 [13:14] DaemonFC People with disabilities face private insurance companies and the government pulling out all the stops to play gotcha games, and turn up "evidence" that really doesn't prove or disprove anything. [13:14] schestowitz-TR they used to haev PIs for that [13:14] DaemonFC So where we're at today, they shouldn't have a Facebook account at all, or if they do, should not use it much and should set it to private. [13:14] schestowitz-TR now they just need to pretend to be someone from elementary school or a sibling [13:15] schestowitz-TR no need to even collaborate with FB the company to spy on people [13:15] DaemonFC Trump was coming up with a Socialized Insecurity regulation to turn people with mental disabilities over for long form reviews evey 2 years. [13:15] DaemonFC That got scrapped back in May. [13:16] DaemonFC It would have cost a fortune and more money than what would be saved by prying a few people out of the system, many of which actually were disabled under the rules. [13:16] DaemonFC But the point always was more about being mean than saving money. [13:17] schestowitz-TR I once entered the court as a kid [13:17] DaemonFC Those "program integrity" funds have never managed to turn up any level of fraud or waste that ultimately justified itself. [13:17] schestowitz-TR my dad took me to view some cases at random [13:17] schestowitz-TR in one of those they shows a footage of an old lady hanging clothes and working inside the home [13:18] schestowitz-TR to demonstrate she was not disabled [13:18] schestowitz-TR about 30 years ago the cameras were still very large and footage was crude [13:18] DaemonFC Yes, it's bullshit of course. [13:18] DaemonFC A person might be able to hang clothes, and then need to rest for an hour and take pain medicine. [13:18] DaemonFC But you got them on camera hanging clothes. Great job! [13:19] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR, I've gone to court a few times. [13:20] DaemonFC You win some, you lose some. [13:20] DaemonFC It's just the nature of the beast. [13:20] DaemonFC And the ones you win, sometimes you know you should have lost, and sometimes you know you should have won, and you lose. [13:21] DaemonFC When you win and know you should have lost, you keep your mouth shut and figure it balances out one of those times they took you in there for something, didn't give a shit that you were right, and then sanctioned you. [13:21] DaemonFC It's almost random, more than anything. [13:21] DaemonFC It's not what you did. It's what the state can prove. [13:22] DaemonFC Whether the cops felt like lying on their report or not. [13:22] DaemonFC Things like that. [13:22] DaemonFC The cops around these parts lie all the time. [13:22] DaemonFC I've had it happen twice now. [13:22] DaemonFC They lied in their reports in Fox Lake too. [13:22] DaemonFC Of course you can say that all you want. I have nothing to gain by saying it now. What's done is done. [13:23] DaemonFC People roll their eyes at you like you're making excuses for yourself, but the police lied and that really is all there is to say.

COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective, and the sooner everyone gets one, the sooner the pandemic will end.". [18:29] DaemonFC 80% have gotten at least one dose, and some people have gotten unauthorized boosters already. [18:29] DaemonFC And we're back to 2,300 people a day dying and 180,000 new cases.

[18:31] DaemonFC If only 20% of the population is a significant threat for spreading the virus, it's not going to get very far. In fact, Fauci said if 80% got the vaccine, we'd be finished with COVID for the most part. [18:31] DaemonFC But now that we're here, that's not the case.
