Murdoch Splog, NYPost, said this looks like a BBC.

DaemonFC

I just don't see it.

DaemonFC

Maybe they just have BBCs on the brain.

"Sonicare replacement heads: $17.33 each

DaemonFC

Generic version: $2.50/each"

DaemonFC

LOL

DaemonFC

Sonicare heads are really expensive considering they don't do as well as Oral-B ones.

Jan 18 01:00

DaemonFC

The Oral-B heads (brand) are usually about $3-10.50 each depending on how you buy them and whether you have an old one that uses mechanical energy or a newer one with a magnetic system.

Jan 18 01:00

DaemonFC

I gave Mandy the old mechanical one I had and got an iO while they were on sale.

Jan 18 01:01

DaemonFC

I stocked up on several years of iO heads while they were marked down by half on Amazon.

Jan 18 01:01

DaemonFC

So they can't soak me on the heads for a while.

Jan 18 01:01

DaemonFC

schestowitz[TR], Mandy yells at me for stockpiling.

schestowitz[TR]

schestowitz[TR]

sorry, in hurry atm

DaemonFC

There's been big rebates on body wash, toothpaste, cat food, lately. We were talking about this.

DaemonFC

$6 for a tube of toothpaste, but you get a $5 coupon for it?

DaemonFC

DaemonFC

They're not sending out stacks of $5 coupons because they make no money at $1 per tube (plus running the scheme).

schestowitz[TR]

highlight me if plates start flying

DaemonFC

He hasn't thrown plates at me like that sister of his.

XRevan86

Or strategically start singing the Mandy song.

DaemonFC

I don't know if women are just that crazy or if it's just her.

schestowitz[TR]

this past sunday we bought 20 tubes of toothpaste

XRevan86

DaemonFC: Not that much exposure to women?

DaemonFC

Seems women are more prone to doing things like this but that one has a wood chipper for a coochie. I'm shocked that Mark can even deal with her.

DaemonFC

<schestowitz[TR]> this past sunday we bought 20 tubes of toothpaste

DaemonFC

Yeah, I do it like that too with a fistful of coupons.

DaemonFC

Then they can't get us for years.

DaemonFC

You have to be careful though with expiration dates.

DaemonFC

About a year after the date, is usually when it starts breaking down and separating.

DaemonFC

Saving money is good, but throwing out several tubes of toothpaste because it's sat there so long it's separating into sand and liquid....

DaemonFC

That's eating into the savings.

DaemonFC

I have 14 bottles of Irish Spring now.

DaemonFC

I threw one at Garrett....

DaemonFC

No, I joke. Walmart only had 4 today.

DaemonFC

I keep wiping them out.

DaemonFC

I don't know how old he was when I found him. I had him for about 9.5 years.

I was feeding him Friskies and then I found out that it's not good to do that.

It has to be like, more than 60% by volume at that point.

schestowitz[TR]

It's hard not to read some of these stories and not think that somehow some of these companies are free-riding on the ability to do some firings with minimal pushback because of the "well, look at what everyone else is doing!" climate that exists now.

schestowitz[TR]

I'm having a hard time teasing out how much of this is driven by some sort of fundamental analysis of the economy, some collective BigCo CEO shared thinking, or, at my most cynical, an Overton window that's been pushed outwards by Elon firing an extremely significant quantity of the (comparably tiny) workforce of Twitter with seeming negligible external-facing impact on the core product.

schestowitz[TR]

DaemonFC

Walmart gutted holiday pay, bonuses, and Sunday pay to increase wages in general.

schestowitz[TR]

" That said, I don't know what severance packages people are being offered. That might help soften the blow for some folks. "

DaemonFC

I'm fine with that. Mandy was one of the only people gtting those bonuses anyway because if you got any attendance points that 6 month period, no bonus.

schestowitz[TR]

" 11,000 people - let's say an average loaded cost of $250k/yr. That's... ~$3b/yr these folks cost MSFT. Granted, it's per year, but ... keeping these people on for another 3 years would cost ~$10b. "

DaemonFC

Walmart knew very few people make it through half a year without an attendance point.

DaemonFC

So they could say there was a bonus and not pay many.

DaemonFC

In 6 months, a lot can happen. Your car can refuse to start, you can get sick (especially now), you can be ordered to go to court and they don't ask what day works for you.

Jan 18 01:16

DaemonFC

You have the right to go to trial on a traffic ticket. Most people don't.

Jan 18 01:16

DaemonFC

90% of the time, you lose and pay anyway, and they have to call in to go to court, or at least take a half day.

Jan 18 01:17

DaemonFC

It suits the state to make the fine enough to rip you off, but not enough that you'll go to court and fight it.

Jan 18 01:18

DaemonFC

So if you're like me and you have nothing to do all day except go and bicker about it, then you go fight it.

DaemonFC

And they don't bother you as much anymore.

DaemonFC

I've noticed that the more you go to fight, the less the police try to ticket you.

DaemonFC

The less you fight it, the more tickets you get later.

techrights-ipfs-bot

DaemonFC

They keep ticketing MARISOL even though I've probably got as much of a lead foot as she does.

DaemonFC

Why?

DaemonFC

She goes by, the cop sees hey, she's had like 8 of these and she just drops the check in the mail like a chump.

DaemonFC

Oh there goes Ryan again. Every time we bother him, he costs us 40 minutes in court and refuses to settle and then we lose.

DaemonFC

When bullies stop getting what they want out of you, they go find some easier prey.

Jan 18 01:21

DaemonFC

You can't afford not to fight a traffic ticket.

Jan 18 01:21

DaemonFC

schestowitz[TR], There's a lot of these pay for results apps for lawyers now.

Jan 18 01:21

You only pay full price if you go to trial and win.

Jan 18 01:22

DaemonFC

If you get found guilty of the offense, the lawyer makes nothing.

Jan 18 01:22

I ended up paying the lawyer full price because the charge got dropped.

Jan 18 01:25

Enron said they had lots of cash on hand.

Jan 18 01:25

DaemonFC

Until there were so many bills due at the same time, they couldn't pay them all with cooked books.

DaemonFC

schestowitz[TR], ^

DaemonFC

That's the problem. I can say I have a million dollars and as long as nobody checks and all my bills are paid...

DaemonFC

I mean, it works until it doesn't.

DaemonFC

When you can't pay anymore, people investigate why and then it comes to "Well, there really was no $100 billion dollars."

That Sumatra coffee tastes nothing like Walmart's. Walmart's has some complexity and almost like an earthy, nutty taste to it like I'm told Sumatra should taste.

I brewed some of Amazon's brand and it just tastes like a fairly standard French Roast. No complexity to it at all. Just "dark".

this is what happens when a free software kernel is implemented for rigged pentagon hardware made in usa

Jan 18 02:07

agg1

you do need then: a proprietary hardware hypervisor integrated into the CPU, a linux kernel with KVM extensions in total several dozen of million of lines of code for this

Jan 18 02:08

agg1

to spawn a microkernel in alpha-state version 0.9 after 30 years of development for that particular USA pentagon platform

Jan 18 02:09

there isn't at least one native hardware mentioned to run GNU/Hurd with on x86

problem with linux kernel, it's rigged, even when rolling back to v2.4 from 20 years ago, at that time IBM Microsh*t pentagon corp already fisted their ACPI and whatnot into linux

DaemonFC

Maybe it's like Candyman rules.

agg1

so, thinking about it, i had to roll-back linux even further, predating ACPI and SMP

DaemonFC

Failed Biologist Failed Biologist Failed Biologist.

agg1

meaning then, that's single core hardware with a few megs of RAM

DaemonFC

Then he shows up twirling his bathrobe belt.

agg1

i could live with a single core and 1GiB RAM, if power consumption is moderate, and the device is portable

DaemonFC

Sometimes I twirl my bathrobe belt though, and no that's not a metaphor.

DaemonFC

I just get bored in the morning when it takes my Moccamaster 2-3 minutes to get my coffee to me.

Jan 18 02:15

agg1

i don't know, maybe i can find some older corebootable hardware, year 2000 round about, not any later, because ACPI was one cornerstone of the system collapse

Jan 18 02:15

agg1

and i can bootstrap a system from scratch, with tcc-toolchain, not sure about any libc compatible with linux 2.2 or similar

Jan 18 02:16

and the required ASM support, which is not trivial

Jan 18 02:16

agg1

not sure if i was willing to invest any time at all into x86 asm

Jan 18 02:17

since when i quit hacking, i got time to clean my appartment, eat and sleep, at least

Jan 18 02:27

DaemonFC

schestowitz[TR], Walmart's payscale got reformed while I was there, and I got a big raise. The reformed payscale was designed to make pay in each department uniform across each store and in line with local prevailing wages.

DaemonFC

So I got a pretty big raise.

DaemonFC

But I obtained a leaked draft of it.

DaemonFC

Before the store's managers did.

DaemonFC

At first they said they hadn't seen it so stop spreading rumors.

Jan 18 02:30

DaemonFC

Then they got it in their email nine days later and I got called in and grilled about how I knew what management didn't.

Jan 18 02:30

DaemonFC

Whoops.

Jan 18 02:30

DaemonFC

The revision was also to squash some ethics problems.

Jan 18 02:31

DaemonFC

Managers doling out arbitrary raises to underlings that they were fucking, for example.

Jan 18 02:32

DaemonFC

Which was previously quite common.

Jan 18 02:32

DaemonFC

So how it worked in 2004 up to the change was the store had a budget for annual raises.

Jan 18 02:33

DaemonFC

And then of course the raises were giving out on a 1-5 performance scale.

Jan 18 02:33

agg1

the linux 2.2 milestone is noteworthy for another reasons, because when i began studying 20 years ago, at that time it was outdated already, with USB common all around in every place

Jan 18 02:33

DaemonFC

If they gave you a 2, no raise, if you got a 1, then it triggered a probationary employment period where if you didn't improve in 60 days, they fired you.

so, i couldn't have known, simply because, this predated my career, year 2001, at that time, pentagon made in USA hat fisted every personal computer on the globe already

So they gave most people a 2 or a 3 so they could drive out problem cases they didn't want to coach by demoralizing or make people shrug and go at least I got a raise.

Walmart went after the "WalmartSucks" forum Website and told the guy he'd sell it or they'd take it and sue him.

They ignored it until they realized there were organizers and leaked documents.

Jan 18 02:38

I think most of the outright corruption at Walmart was mostly ferreted out by around 2007.

Jan 18 02:38

DaemonFC

There were executives taking bribes from vendors.

Jan 18 02:38

DaemonFC

The company tried to slip Tom Coughlin out as "retiring after long service to the company" but then weeks later it was reported that the FBI was investigating an illegal bribery scheme.

Jan 18 02:39

DaemonFC

And Walmart didn't want him anywhere near the company.

Jan 18 02:39

agg1

well, an initial test candidate for linux 2.2 is slackware version 4.0, year 1999

Because he'd been threatening companies like Pepsi with worse product placement areas and higher shelf rental fees.

Individual workers in the UK can opt out of labor unions?

DaemonFC

That's not always the case in the US.

DaemonFC

About half the states have closed-shop laws and the other half, you can opt out if you want. The federal government has opt-out, and the Supreme Court recently extended that to all state government workers too, and made "fair share fees" illegal.

Trade unions.

currently i dumped some armbian onto my tiny rockpro64, it works, already placed it on ebay for sale, no need for that anymore

DaemonFC

We had some counties that tried to pass "Right-to-Work" zones which claimed that you could opt-out of a union.

So we changed the state constitution to disallow it and to make sure that it would be very difficult to get rid of in the future.

DaemonFC

And they were the ones funding the "No" side of the campaign.

The companies.

They don't want to deal with labor unions.

DaemonFC

Labor unions raise pay in the area.

agg1

ah, i see, in germany (most relevant) unions are under political dictate, not independent organizations

agg1

and those unions are political psycho sects

DaemonFC

You start getting shops unionizing, it raises pay even in ones that don't.

DaemonFC

Because it puts the upward pressure on pay and working conditions.

pay rise, rents rise, grocery store prices rise

One of them has over 800 residents listed as the people suing the state.

agg1

which all apply to weapons which aren't interesting to me (automatic rifles, high powered rifles, nothing which is practically useful for anything)

agg1

i mean, the noise those guns make, that's reasons enough to avoid the restricted ones

Jan 18 03:18

agg1

the pentagon-F ones however, do not require any of the permits for hunters, sport-shooters, or collectors

Jan 18 03:18

agg1

the traditional free ones, are the most affordable, most rugged, and cheapest

Jan 18 03:19

agg1

a .22 calibre one is available, for 60coins

techrights-ipfs-bot

requires nothing but an age verification, done.

Jan 18 03:20

agg1

then it is strictly forbidden to carry any of this in public, obviously

Jan 18 03:20

agg1

any type of hunting is strictly forbidden with the free ones, one shot at a pigeon, and you go to jail

Jan 18 03:21

and i think, must hunters which got the expensive permission and paperwork for all types of weapons they wish to have, i think it's silly

in sweden the deers there are herded, and it's easy to catch them, without a gun

for sports, the air rifles are neat, because, they're affordable, including ammunition

Jan 18 03:25

Jan 18 03:26

and whatever else the gun powders emit

Jan 18 03:27

agg1

pentagon-f stamped free air rifles are clean, except for the lead which must be collected and easily recycled

Jan 18 03:27

agg1

the USA survivalist gunners, are idiots somehow, a fully powered air rifle could serve that purpose, however, you could carry 500 projectiles for 5coins of money, to survive eating rats and rodents terminated with a lead pellet

Jan 18 03:28

agg1

if that's what they want

Jan 18 03:29

agg1

there's just one thing air rifles aren't good at: going on killing spree

Jan 18 03:30

agg1

not saying those german air rifles couldn't be annoying, when fully powered, and a precision to hit a penny at 100 yards

Jan 18 03:31

agg1

this won't kill anyone of cause, yet a third hole in the nose is somewhat intruiging, where was that coming from?

Jan 18 03:32

agg1

although, i don't recall any single illegal or any other incident such as this with german air rifles.

Jan 18 03:32

agg1

the shootings reported in germany, were all linked to shooters with a permit for sports shooters or hunters

Jan 18 03:36

agg1

meaning, they or the parents did all paperwork with official permits from bureaucracy, and this didn't prevent anyhting

Jan 18 03:37

agg1

and pentagon-f stamped rifles don't require any paperwork except for age verification, no issues reported with those ever, none that i know of

Jan 18 03:38

agg1

just as said, it's just forbidden to aim at anything living with air rifles, had not seen any statistics how many rodents were hit by a pellet

Jan 18 03:38

agg1

anyhow, in germany there isn't any existential survival crisis, to hunt rodents for lunch, hence i suspect such incidents are insignificant

Jan 18 03:40

agg1

problem i have, i got 50 square meters to live, with no place nearby to go outside anywhere, and no shooters club nearby either

Jan 18 03:40

agg1

i think in USA and wherever else, most gunners are obsessed, and totally miss what's available with traditional air rifles

Jan 18 03:42

agg1

i mean, they could save 99% of their cash spent for guns and rifles

Jan 18 03:42

agg1

a box with 500 pellets, 5coins; 100 rifle darts which are reusable are 20coins, after a little while those darts deform

Jan 18 03:43

agg1

for example, when i hit them hole-in-hole spot on, one dart deforms the other one hit.... which is rather difficult

Jan 18 03:44

agg1

so, that's ammo cost of 20coins for 6month, with rifle darts

Jan 18 03:44

agg1

and the little secret with pellets, which are rather cheap too, they're punchy even with non-tuned pentagon-f stamped rifles, so I do not use those

Jan 18 03:46

agg1

i mean, if you wanted, you could buy steal core pellets freely on ebay, fully legal, yet for what? to punch holes into the windows?

Jan 18 03:46

agg1

steel

Jan 18 03:46

agg1

it doesn't hurt, to stockpile a box of those for 5coins though, just in case of a prolonged power outage, and nothing remaining to eat except rodents

Jan 18 03:47

agg1

the noise alone, of rifles, is reason enough, to avoid most of them

Jan 18 03:49

agg1

i remember having read, traditional cowboy rifles and revolvers, remained sub-sonic, with heavy projectiles, otherwise their horses would freak out

Jan 18 03:50

agg1

this fact alone, rules out 99% of what's advertised by the gun industry, as whatever greatness they sell to idiots around the globe

Jan 18 03:51

agg1

i mean, i must admit, a cowboy horse and rifle, that's a small boy's dream of freedom

Jan 18 03:52

It's kind of hard to slip crappy cat food past a customer that looks for the telltale sign.

Jan 18 04:38

DaemonFC

The cheaper ones are usually cheap for a reason. Look at the ingredients label.

Jan 18 04:38

DaemonFC

Meat and Meat meal should be the first two ingredients.

Jan 18 04:38

DaemonFC

You should also look at the protein percentage on the side. It has to give the percentage of a bunch of things by weight.

DaemonFC

The cheapest dry food is only like 30%. The pricier ones are about 38% or so.

DaemonFC

They also have mid-tier which is usually 34-36%.

DaemonFC

An indoor cat should be at least in the 34-36% protein range or it's just not getting enough to maintain muscle content.

Purina owns Friskies and also is the vendor for Special Kitty.

Jan 18 04:41

Walmart tried to introduce "premium store label cat food", but it was a marketing fail so they got rid of it quickly too.

Jan 18 04:41

DaemonFC

It's a shame because it really was up there with the middle-tier stuff at a much lower price.

Jan 18 04:41

Aldi might still have something like this. I remembered looking at the label for one of their formulations and thinking "Yeah, I'd feed this to my cats.".

ChatGPT is not "AI".

It has no actual idea of what it's doing.

DaemonFC

Until a machine knows what it's doing, you don't have AI.

You have something that can parrot something it's seen before, potentially a large set of data, but rote recitation.

DaemonFC

There is no guarantee information it returns is correct.

The company, even in distress, tries buying things that it's unclear can even turn a profit, but it is pretty clear that what ChatGPT is doing violates copyright laws, like Microsoft GitHub Co-Pilot.

Microsoft sabotaging copyright law is pretty brazen, until you stop and think about it.

If it can use plagiarism tools that are mislabeled "AI" to steal from the Free Software community, it benefits, and we don't.

DaemonFC

They release compiled binaries and then won't let you study how those work, and coat them with DRM (which is a felony to bypass), and then if that's not enough, you have to sign a EULA that goes on for more words than the United States Constitution to even use it.

no ACPI, no UEFI no whatnot over there

schestowitz[TR]

linux 2.2?? 0_o

schestowitz[TR]

not 2.6?

schestowitz[TR]

you're just being retro now

agg1

yes, 2.2 is the last one without certain micro$$$ "features"

agg1

nope, that's not a nostalgic thing

schestowitz[TR]

good luck usign usb2

agg1

usb1.x will be fine, if it is available, even NO USB would be ok

agg1

it's something else which concerns me

Jan 18 12:36

agg1

i mean, the C11-move with linux-5.10, that was too much, that's the final stroke to it

agg1

i did patch that one to avoid c11, yet that's not the only problem

agg1

and when looking back in time, even beyond what i had used 20 years ago when i began studying, linux-2.2 is the candidate

schestowitz[TR]

so what mouse?

schestowitz[TR]

ps/2?

agg1

with ACPI micro$$$ had taken control over

schestowitz[TR]

can you even find these online? still?

yes, i got both PS/2 keyboard and mouse

schestowitz[TR]

mine all died

schestowitz[TR]

stopped working

schestowitz[TR]

partly or entirely

agg1

i mean, i wouldn't bother to invest into 1.4Meg floppy disks again

maybe one keyboard left, but some bad caps

schestowitz[TR]

the daily bulltin of techrights can be 1MB per day

schestowitz[TR]

this chatlog as HTML is sometimes over 1.4MB

schestowitz[TR]

not compressed

agg1

for PS/2 there was adapters to use keyboards and mouse with USB or PS/2, it works just fine as it did for more than 20 years

schestowitz[TR]

so you torture yourself for no good reason if you go back to magnetic disks

schestowitz[TR]

diskettes

agg1

i don't intend to use floppy disks

agg1

if usb1.x storage is available, that's fine then

schestowitz[TR]

yes, some computers from 2010 still sold with ps/2 on the motherboard

schestowitz[TR]

and usb adapters

schestowitz[TR]

green for mouse, purple for keyboard

schestowitz[TR]

storage devices with usb1 are no good

schestowitz[TR]

outdated and not reliable,

schestowitz[TR]

due to age

agg1

i wouldn't bother to use a serial-line keyboard and mouse, just saying, those worked for a long time too, without problem

agg1

another problem is, which i discussed here, not at least vt100 type terminals were ever fully opensource (both hardware and software)

schestowitz[TR]

but the RGB lights!!!

schestowitz[TR]

you are missing out

agg1

even geoff's vt100 and similar require proprietary chips, could be worse, yet i could live with a serial line terminal and 56k modem

agg1

that's not the point, if the whole idea

agg1

in fact, i rolled-back that many software to legacy versions... i don't need to bother with updates and security there

schestowitz[TR]

legacy ethernet?

schestowitz[TR]

legacy lan?

schestowitz[TR]

legacy wifi?

schestowitz[TR]

legacy modem?

schestowitz[TR]

legacy does not mean securie

schestowitz[TR]

just outdated

agg1

i didn't roll-back to linux-2.2 yet

agg1

and yes, it's outdated, but too is anything else since then

schestowitz[TR]

some old versions of Linux can also permanently damage some hardware

schestowitz[TR]

like network card

agg1

i still got some old AMD phenom computer, from year 2009

agg1

i think this can boot slackware 4, for initial testing

agg1

however, i am not willing to use that computer for another reason: power consumption

schestowitz[TR]

linux 2.2 does not have many useful features

schestowitz[TR]

linux 2.2 is NOT more secure

schestowitz[TR]

linux 2.2. is museum stuff

schestowitz[TR]

so what you do it retro-like

Jan 18 13:03

schestowitz[TR]

or coding adventure

Jan 18 13:03

agg1

with linux-2.2 chances are, this can be integrated with 100% opensource/free hardware such as.... ao486

Jan 18 13:03

agg1

chances are, the entire software stack can be compiled with, tcc-toolchain

Jan 18 13:04

agg1

and chances are, that many "security" backdoors exist in it: zero

anyhow, 32bit intel hardware from year 2000 or earlier, there should be some stuff available still

agg1

it's only important, power consumption remains low, otherwise i cannot keep the system running (44cents/kWh)

schestowitz: This is just activelow being himself, he's been going to great lengths to find ways to make his computers nonfunctional this whole time.

Jan 18 13:09

agg1

the principle conclusion was, i consider any update/upgrade on the basis of current technology futile

Jan 18 13:09

agg1

and the rollback-strategy to something sane and stable, that's a huge challenge

Jan 18 13:10

agg1

Jan 18 13:10

agg1

it's the Pentagon made in USA who wrecked technology beyond repair

Jan 18 13:12

agg1

XRevan86, i am not sure why you're blaming me for this

Jan 18 13:12

agg1

if i had been asked, i had called for STOP year 1999 already, with ACPI emerging

so, i am not sure why i was supposed to take the pride for the clusterfuck produced by GAFAM and their multi-billion total wreckage write-off

agg1

because, that's how bad it is, it's a total write-off

schestowitz[TR]

you do not neded to justify nostalgia/hobby/retro

agg1

the whole technology, it's impossible to salvage

schestowitz[TR]

schestowitz[TR]

but don't pretend you solve an actual problem

agg1

none of this meets a bare minimum of acceptance criteria nowadays

agg1

i don't pretend anything

agg1

just as i said, even a rollback-stragey is close to impossible

agg1

i had arrived at z80 style systems and earlier, gigatron ttl project and similar, and even with those problems are overwhelming

schestowitz[TR]

XRevan86

it's sometimes like that

XRevan86

agg1: Is that what ye are using?

agg1

XRevan86, yes, WiFi is void

XRevan86

agg1: SeaBIOS is what *I* am using.

schestowitz[TR]

agg1

and that's not a problem i had to solve, X.25 is still being used in critical infrastructure...

agg1

and the manufacturers of this... gone

agg1

Telekom had outsourced their X.25 to some subsidiary, year 2010 iirc, and in year 2019 Telekom fully terminated all support for X.25

in the tower of london, a ravenmaster is hired, who has to guard the birds, who must not leave, otherwise the entire world collapses, when the memories are lost

it is too considered pre-historic (because rune script is either lost or dated incorrectly, greek dark ages)

DaemonFC

Yeah, there's two rules when someone is under the age of 17 in Illinois. (1) Don't do it. It's probably a trap. and (2) The police want to gather evidence that you knew it was illegal and did it anyway, so they'll quickly put things into the chat like "I'm 15. LOL. You know we could get in trouble for this, right?".

CNN, bribed by Gates, shaved 1,000 of the layoffs at Microsoft from their story. It's 11,000, and that figure doesn't even include contractors.

Last year's thousands of layoffs involved Azure, which loses money and has layoffs every year, and over 200 people whose job it was to try to convince the 1/3rd of the Windows home users that have left for Mac, Linux, and Chrome OS after giving up on them ever coming back to Windows.

Brian Walshe aside, they have to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley, which means every time you interact with a Google server (including search and email), they have to keep that record forever in case it ever becomes the subject of a federal investigation.

So their business requires storage that grows forever, and this is why they're interested in new compression algorithms.
