[00:04] IsambardPrince You clean the film itself, scan it in, cover up the damage that's already accumulated that can't be fixed, fix the color timing... [00:05] IsambardPrince It's getting less labor intensive with software. [00:21] IsambardPrince MinceR, I posted: [00:21] IsambardPrince "I noticed the local store locked up the batteries today. [00:21] IsambardPrince Welcome to Trump. 20-50% price hikes at Walmart and they lock things up and have cops standing there. [00:21] IsambardPrince My spouse and I were eating at the McDonald's at Walmart today while I had my tires rotated and balanced. [00:21] IsambardPrince A Trump supporter was wearing a "Trump is my president" shirt. I would have liked to ask how he felt about all the prices going up throughout the store because Trump is his president, but none of the believe what a tariff actually is. Frankly, I doubt most of them can read. [00:21] IsambardPrince Then a cop sat down next to us and my spouse mentioned something about homeless people and asked why the government wasn't doing anything. [00:21] IsambardPrince I told him loudly enough for the cop to overhear me, "The government doesn't give a shit about how many people are homeless. They just steal all our money and send the cops to hurt you if you protest it.""

[04:53] schestowitz[TR3] we'll charge the buyer more [04:53] schestowitz[TR3] it's like a new tax [04:54] IsambardPrince You convert your Paypal balance into a bank account.

[04:55] schestowitz[TR3] they are low on money [04:55] IsambardPrince It's a closed loop credit card. [04:55] schestowitz[TR3] so they keep "your" [04:55] schestowitz[TR3] pot [04:55] schestowitz[TR3] in their own accounts [04:56] schestowitz[TR3] with paypal you request a transfer to a real bank accccccccccounts [04:56] schestowitz[TR3] no atm here has "paypal" option [04:56] schestowitz[TR3] and paypal is not a bank [04:56] IsambardPrince Right, but with the PayPal Debit card your balance becomes a bank account.

[19:03] MinceR that's the point [19:06] Sompi And I'm not surprised that it does not work on most computers - because as I have always said, UEFI does not have any runtime services and the OS has to support every fucking disk controller and graphics card that exists out there. And obviously that CSMWRAP cannot do that [19:08] Sompi The IBM PC compatible BIOS is essentially a standardized driver layer that is conveniently placed on the ROM chip so that the operating system can call those routines to do basic I/O - so that CSMWRAP is also a driver, it has to have all driver code for every device [19:09] Sompi Even Linux cannot do that and it has a lot of developers and a development budget of billions [19:11] Sompi Just recently a friend was installing Linux to a new computer with a new motherboard and Linux had issues with its SATA controller [19:11] Sompi That firmware also had BIOS compatibility but it didn't work...

[22:12] IsambardPrince And so now there's customers at Walmart that slide their card and there's like $5 or $7 left or something and they yell at the cashier and demand to know what didn't go on their food stamp card. [22:12] IsambardPrince And it was gum, candy bars, ice cream, sodas, and so on. [22:12] IsambardPrince I commented that they voted for Trump and he took away their Mars bars and Mountain Dew. [22:13] IsambardPrince Al Bundy: "No, do you always carpool to work wearing the curtains and smelling of Mars bars?" [22:15] IsambardPrince MinceR, Lots of people on Reddit complaining that their case got denied at USCIS because they "forgot" to mention that they got arrested for shoplifting or didn't reply to an RFE. [22:16] IsambardPrince People are dumb. [22:16] IsambardPrince Those are more like "integrity questions" than asking because they don't already know. They already know if you've been arrested, they're asking to see if you'll ALSO lie to them about it.

[23:57] IsambardPrince A really expensive fireworks show followed by running low on interceptors. [23:57] IsambardPrince These drones can be intercepted by Iron Dome missiles. [23:58] IsambardPrince But the drones are so cheap that Iran can afford to lose many of them just to cost Israel an interceptor missile that cost a lot more. [23:58] IsambardPrince Eventually they wear down the defenses. [23:59] *oarion7 (~ryan@e6jyc88uwxv5c.irc) has joined #techrights
