| IsambardPrince | MinceR: So I found a new (to me) movie with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz last year. | Aug 17 00:30 |
| IsambardPrince | In it, he plays a chemist working at an agro company who is researching new pesticides. | Aug 17 00:30 |
| IsambardPrince | And he tells his wife "Just think of it, plenty of food for everyone, wiping out mosquitoes that carry disease." | Aug 17 00:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Something like that. | Aug 17 00:31 |
| IsambardPrince | That tells you it's from the 1950s. | Aug 17 00:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Now people figure "pesticides are from bad people working for bad companies". | Aug 17 00:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Syngenta has patents on agricultural pesticides, but they also sold me anti-cockroach bait that has their pesticide in it. | Aug 17 00:32 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't think that trying to get rid of cockroaches in someone's apartment with some new product is necessarily an evil pursuit. | Aug 17 00:32 |
| MinceR | pity we didn't wipe out bees in the 50s, eh? | Aug 17 00:33 |
| MinceR | i wouldn't worry, we're still going to exterminate lots of species before we get ourselves | Aug 17 00:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Cockroaches are a lot more resilient than bees. | Aug 17 00:34 |
| IsambardPrince | They're a very stubborn pest. One of the worst. | Aug 17 00:34 |
| MinceR | tardigrades are even more resilient | Aug 17 00:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Bees are symbiotic to human endeavors and are unfortunately also susceptible to most of the same pesticides used to control common field pests. | Aug 17 00:35 |
| IsambardPrince | [18:35] <MinceR> tardigrades are even more resilient | Aug 17 00:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, you know, navigating that psychedelic mushroom network from Star Trek and all. | Aug 17 00:35 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't think cockroaches would have fit into that plot as well. | Aug 17 00:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Too much of a visceral disgust from test audiences. | Aug 17 00:36 |
| MinceR | :> | Aug 17 00:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Cockroaches can eat almost anything. | Aug 17 00:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Including wallpaper glue, soap scum, and each other's feces and dead bodies. | Aug 17 00:37 |
| IsambardPrince | That's one reason why doing things like mopping the floor will help control them. | Aug 17 00:38 |
| IsambardPrince | When you mop the floor you are physically removing cockroach feces, shed skin, and things like hair, as well as removing their own scent markers that they use to tell others where to find food and water. | Aug 17 00:38 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: They love selling Swiffer solution refills. | Aug 17 00:55 |
| *includeals has quit (Quit: ZNC - https://znc.in) | Aug 17 00:55 | |
| IsambardPrince | They're like almost $8 each now from the name brand. | Aug 17 00:55 |
| IsambardPrince | Walmart has them under Great Value "Wet Mop Solution". | Aug 17 00:55 |
| IsambardPrince | They fit Swiffer but it doesn't say Swiffer anywhere. | Aug 17 00:55 |
| *includeals (~includeal@2001:8a0:e95a:4e00::1c47) has joined #techrights | Aug 17 00:55 | |
| IsambardPrince | It's placed right next to the Swiffer WetJet solution and the bottle is also purple. | Aug 17 00:56 |
| IsambardPrince | And it's less than half the price. | Aug 17 00:56 |
| IsambardPrince | I guess the patent expires on the physical design of the bottle. | Aug 17 00:56 |
| IsambardPrince | But Walmart's lawyers told them that they could still be in trouble if they said "Swiffer" or "Wetjet" anywhere. | Aug 17 00:56 |
| IsambardPrince | The bottle runs out very quickly if you have a roach problem and you're trying to contain it including with impeccable house cleaning. | Aug 17 00:57 |
| IsambardPrince | So even Walmart's stuff isn't cheap enough for me. | Aug 17 00:57 |
| IsambardPrince | I can fill a whole bottle with something I make for less than 50 cents. And it works just as well. | Aug 17 00:58 |
| IsambardPrince | The only thing it doesn't do that you get for $8 with P&G's formula is make the house smell like a chemical "lavender" scent. | Aug 17 00:58 |
| MinceR | 17 015526 < IsambardPrince> Walmart has them under Great Value "Wet Mop Solution". | Aug 17 01:06 |
| MinceR | sounds like they just dissolved a wet mop | Aug 17 01:06 |
| IsambardPrince | It does. Doesn't it? | Aug 17 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I used a recipe Google AI gave me. Who knows where it got it. | Aug 17 01:20 |
| MinceR | :> | Aug 17 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Seemed a bit aggressive on the dish soap so I cut that in half. | Aug 17 01:20 |
| MinceR | does it contain any glue? | Aug 17 01:20 |
| MinceR | the recipe, i mean | Aug 17 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | 1 cup rubbing alcohol, 4 cups water, it said 2 tsp of dish soap, but I used 1. | Aug 17 01:21 |
| *darwin has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Aug 17 01:32 | |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I'm saving about $5.60 per bottle this way. | Aug 17 01:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Even being charitable and assuming a bottle lasts me 3 weeks, that's like a $97 savings per year on mop solution. | Aug 17 01:34 |
| IsambardPrince | I might mix this formula up and use it in a spray bottle as all purpose cleaner. | Aug 17 01:37 |
| IsambardPrince | I never really had to get this inventive with the household budget when I was married and I had full access two two incomes. | Aug 17 01:37 |
| IsambardPrince | But things are a lot tighter now. | Aug 17 01:37 |
| IsambardPrince | One of my uncles is rich. | Aug 17 01:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Just absolutely filthy stinking rich. | Aug 17 01:39 |
| IsambardPrince | He acts like he's taking it all with him when he dies though. | Aug 17 01:40 |
| IsambardPrince | I mean, he won't even buy toothpaste. They have a box of baking soda and he mixes up a paste and brushes with this. | Aug 17 01:40 |
| IsambardPrince | You're not cutting out an expense that's big enough to be annoying with the baking soda as toothpaste. | Aug 17 01:41 |
| MinceR | lol | Aug 17 01:42 |
| IsambardPrince | A cheap tube of toothpaste is about $1. | Aug 17 01:42 |
| IsambardPrince | It lasts a few months. | Aug 17 01:42 |
| IsambardPrince | They were living like they were poor as Job's turkey, probably still are. | Aug 17 01:43 |
| IsambardPrince | His wife didn't want to go to the supermarket so he'd just go foraging. | Aug 17 01:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Like, he'd shoot deer and they'd make a pot roast out of it. | Aug 17 01:43 |
| IsambardPrince | They have all these damned deer diseases out there now. I would be seriously skeptical of eating something that I foraged. | Aug 17 01:45 |
| *darwin (~darwin@ezriia7nzimpg.irc) has joined #techrights | Aug 17 01:45 | |
| IsambardPrince | I remember when we went down there when I was a kid, we were on our way to Disney World. My mom just told me it was pot roast and when one of my cousins told me it was a deer my uncle shot I was almost disgusted. | Aug 17 01:46 |
| IsambardPrince | And my mom told me they didn't say anything because they just wanted to be polite and eat it and move on. | Aug 17 01:46 |
| IsambardPrince | That's the part of going on vacation I was not looking forward to. | Aug 17 01:47 |
| IsambardPrince | Going to their house was like the Griswolds stopping over to see Uncle Eddie in those Vacation movies. | Aug 17 01:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Or Cousin Eddie, or whatever he was, that weird poor guy who couldn't afford hamburger in his hamburger helper. | Aug 17 01:49 |
| IsambardPrince | I did name drop my uncle though recently. It's what got us this apartment. A reference from a Freemason helps when you're dealing with someone else who is a Mason. | Aug 17 01:50 |
| MinceR | :> | Aug 17 01:51 |
| IsambardPrince | A lot of landlords have gotten super strict about things like a bankruptcy on your credit report. | Aug 17 01:52 |
| IsambardPrince | I was striking out big time with every landlord in this county that I cold called. | Aug 17 01:52 |
| IsambardPrince | I got past this one because I noticed the manager was a Mason and I mentioned my Uncle and we got to talking. | Aug 17 01:53 |
| IsambardPrince | https://www.makeuseof.com/used-windows-11-on-8gb-computer-test-microsofts-claim-wasnt-even-close/ | Aug 17 01:55 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.makeuseof.com | 8GB of RAM on Windows 11 works β but only if you're willing to cripple your PC | Aug 17 01:55 | |
| MinceR | lol | Aug 17 02:02 |
| MinceR | whoda thunk | Aug 17 02:02 |
| IsambardPrince | That homemade wetjet solution works pretty well. | Aug 17 02:19 |
| IsambardPrince | Glad Google gave me good advice, not like that farmer in China that used Google AI to kill 26 acres of crops. | Aug 17 02:19 |
| IsambardPrince | "What kind of Pesticide should I use?" | Aug 17 02:19 |
| IsambardPrince | Google: Oh, you know, bit of this, some of that. | Aug 17 02:20 |
| IsambardPrince | *everything dies, on 26 acres* | Aug 17 02:20 |
| MinceR | lol | Aug 17 02:23 |

| IsambardPrince | [20:23] <MinceR> lol | Aug 17 03:00 |
| IsambardPrince | The pesticide I sprayed in my bathroom has dried. | Aug 17 03:00 |
| IsambardPrince | It keeps the bugs from going after the shower, sink, or toilet for about a month. | Aug 17 03:00 |
| IsambardPrince | If you spray the baseboards and toilet base. | Aug 17 03:01 |
| IsambardPrince | These barrier sprays are something you don't want to rely on exclusively. | Aug 17 03:01 |
| *brocashelm has quit (Quit: Leaving.) | Aug 17 03:01 | |
| IsambardPrince | No part of Integrated Pest Management is a complete solution all by itself. | Aug 17 03:01 |
| *brocashelm (~brocashelm@w5acqy929pqyi.irc) has joined #techrights | Aug 17 03:01 | |
| IsambardPrince | They all work in some way and fail to get all of them in some way. | Aug 17 03:01 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: Apple showed me an ad on Facebook that said Safari is faster, uses less battery, and is actually private. | Aug 17 03:08 |
| IsambardPrince | I replied: Excuse me, aren't you the one that built something called Intelligent Tracking Prevention that actually makes every Safari user personally identifiable? | Aug 17 03:08 |
| IsambardPrince | The way an adblock list full of trackers works is basically everyone gets that list. | Aug 17 03:09 |
| MinceR | :> | Aug 17 03:09 |
| IsambardPrince | If you're a Firefox user that has EasyPrivacy and Easylist installed, then on that front you look like every other Firefox user that has those lists. | Aug 17 03:09 |
| IsambardPrince | If you are a Safari user with Intelligent Tracking Prevention, the browser is actually trying to study and block what is tracking you in particular. | Aug 17 03:10 |
| MinceR | they're going to keep lying about their support for privacy as long as their fanbase believes it, or they cease to exist | Aug 17 03:10 |
| IsambardPrince | Eventually the browser ends up blocking things that only your browser is blocking. | Aug 17 03:10 |
| IsambardPrince | And you are personally identifiable. | Aug 17 03:10 |
| IsambardPrince | I actually did some debugging work on Safari's rendering engine. | Aug 17 03:16 |
| IsambardPrince | In 2020, I did fuzz testing and found 46 security holes in a single month. | Aug 17 03:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Including in the compositor process, where it has access to the GPU, where it could change register states in ways that the operating system isn't aware of, which could lead to RowHammer style attacks. | Aug 17 03:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Some were just weird, like the FTL JavaScript engine interacts with the Password Manager in a way that causes the browser to crash when you try to log in to Chase Bank. | Aug 17 03:16 |
| IsambardPrince | They did all get fixed, but the fact that even I could find this many in such a short length of time makes me wonder what sort of Quality Assurance process Apple has. | Aug 17 03:16 |
| IsambardPrince | The OS goes back to read something from memory expecting it to be safe because it was in a state that it left it in, suddenly that's not there anymore and it runs malicious code injected by the Compositor process. | Aug 17 03:17 |
| *Righty has quit (connection closed) | Aug 17 03:22 | |

| MinceR | > what sort of Quality Assurance process Apple has. | Aug 17 03:28 |
| MinceR | a "modern" one | Aug 17 03:28 |
| MinceR | that is to say, none whatsoever. | Aug 17 03:28 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I was telling someone we should be more like Singapore. | Aug 17 03:40 |
| IsambardPrince | 6 months in jail for gum. $1000 fine for forgetting to flush a public toilet. Death for drug smuggling. | Aug 17 03:41 |
| MinceR | i think people who want to live in Singapore should just move to Singapore | Aug 17 03:42 |
| MinceR | similarly to how people who want to live in Muscovy should move to Muscovy and people who want to live in North Korea shouls move to North Korea | Aug 17 03:42 |
| MinceR | there's no need to fuck up every place on earth just because authoritarian people are so dispersed on the planet | Aug 17 03:43 |
| IsambardPrince | I was discussing the squeeze on prices for essentials. I mentioned that essential vs. non-essential was sometimes blurred. | Aug 17 03:46 |
| IsambardPrince | It's more like an inelasticity squeeze. | Aug 17 03:46 |
| IsambardPrince | They've mapped out what is inelastic and elastic. Housing is inelastic. The price goes up, everyone says "Fucking landlords!" and they pay whatever the new price is because the other ones are doing it too. | Aug 17 03:46 |
| IsambardPrince | It's the same with groceries. | Aug 17 03:46 |
| IsambardPrince | An iPhone is not essential, but in the mind of some consumers, it is. | Aug 17 03:46 |
| IsambardPrince | So with those consumers, an iPhone is an inelastic good. It might as well be housing, or food, because, well, that's where it ranks in their fucked up brain. | Aug 17 03:46 |
| IsambardPrince | So you get things like a $200 price hike and "iPhone Upgrade by Klarna". | Aug 17 03:46 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: ^ | Aug 17 03:46 |
| MinceR | s/uls/uld/ | Aug 17 03:47 |
| MinceR | lol | Aug 17 03:47 |
| MinceR | i'm waiting to see that bullshit bite Klarna | Aug 17 03:47 |
| MinceR | they need a lesson if they can be roped into this shit | Aug 17 03:47 |
| IsambardPrince | You mean all the deadbeats with shitty credit and no money who just got Klarna to front the money for an entire iPhone and some earpods and an Apple Watch? | Aug 17 03:53 |
| IsambardPrince | There's no lesson here. Goldman Sachs already lost money on this, but even they had the benefit of some customers they approved actually pay their bills. | Aug 17 03:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Klarna is dealing exclusively with "Lives i the ghetto, no money, wants $5,000 worth of Apple products." crowd. | Aug 17 03:53 |
| IsambardPrince | In economics we call this Adverse Selection. Your business model draws in primarily the customers that you really don't want. | Aug 17 03:54 |
| IsambardPrince | It's like Piyush and his Roachy apartments. | Aug 17 03:55 |
| IsambardPrince | His business model was this: Don't screen anyone. If they have money today, they get the apartment. Don't check criminal records, credit reports, and don't look too close at their financials. | Aug 17 03:56 |
| IsambardPrince | As Mark's tenants leave, more of Piyush's really bad ones come in. Eventually someone brings cockroaches, nothing in the building is being maintained at all, and everyone good abandons the apartment with whatever they can salvage. | Aug 17 03:57 |
| MinceR | yeah, those | Aug 17 03:57 |
| MinceR | well, the lesson is "what can happen to Goldman Sucks can also happen to Klarna" | Aug 17 03:57 |
| IsambardPrince | No, because while Goldman got hosed with about 10-20% of these people as the customer, Klarna ONLY deals with the worst customer. | Aug 17 03:58 |
| MinceR | :> | Aug 17 03:58 |
| IsambardPrince | They do not have an apparatus that threatens millions of people whose credit is already ruined, who are judgment proof, and have no reason to make payments on $5,000 worth of Apple hardware. | Aug 17 03:58 |
| IsambardPrince | Klarna will be left holding the bag and tap out in a year or two, while Apple got paid in full by Klarna. | Aug 17 03:59 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: Meanwhile, all the marginal people who could still get approved by Goldman Sachs are trying to get an Apple Card before Chase takes it over. They want one now because when Chase takes it, if they ever screwed Chase, they won't be approved. | Aug 17 04:00 |
| IsambardPrince | What will likely happen is what Chase always does when they take over a card. They toss out all the people who could not get a Chase card because Chase has a big problem with them. | Aug 17 04:01 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't just take over a portfolio that has hundreds of thousands of people who have been burned by Chase and let them keep their Apple Card. | Aug 17 04:01 |
| IsambardPrince | Bankruptcy laws or statutes of limitation on old Chase cards mean they may not be allowed to pursue an old debt, but they TOTALLY remember what you did last time. | Aug 17 04:02 |

| IsambardPrince | If they have discretionary income, the state is running the marijuana dispensary and gets it from them there. | Aug 17 19:10 |

| IsambardPrince | Shedding this many workers in bits and pieces is a sign that the company is dying. | Aug 17 19:44 |
| IsambardPrince | This is the sort of thing RCA did in Indiana when it died. | Aug 17 19:44 |
| IsambardPrince | It took over 14 years of layoffs but eventually they were down to one woman who did HR benefits, and she had to lay herself off. | Aug 17 19:44 |

| IsambardPrince | The entire time it was going on they said that they would just be a smaller company that would eventually be down to the profitable divisions and thriving again. | Aug 17 19:45 |
| IsambardPrince | That's what they always tell you. | Aug 17 19:45 |
| IsambardPrince | If they say we're shutting the company down in bits and pieces, it demoralizes the people they plan to keep for a few more years. | Aug 17 19:46 |

| IsambardPrince | They brought a guy in from Massachusetts who knew 4 years ahead of time that he was just the axe man there to contain risk and wind the place down until they could get a new facility built in Ohio. | Aug 17 19:47 |

| IsambardPrince | You need tent fumigation followed by several rounds of going after survivors. The entire building would have to be cleared out, which means cash for keys for every single unit, which is not what he was prepared to do. | Aug 17 20:58 |
| IsambardPrince | By the time an infestation is that bad it's a sign of severe structural failure. | Aug 17 20:58 |
