[21:44] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: Here's my statement on Reddit about the Walmart Capital One contract ending, and halving the banks profits. [21:44] IsambardPrince > Walmart used a technicality to get out of their deal with Capital One because Walmart realizes the consumer is tapped out, stressed, and losing their jobs, and they had a loss sharing agreement with Capital One that while the deal was in effect, they'd split the charge offs from risky Walmart customers buying things they can't afford. [21:44] IsambardPrince > Immediately after they contract was terminated, Capital One added over $826 million to their loss offset in anticipation that maybe all those 600 credit score Walmart customers couldn't afford their Bose headphones and iPads. [21:44] IsambardPrince > Walmart obviously looked at this storm of charge offs brewing (we haven't seen the worst of it yet) and decided to start looking over their contract to get out of it and screw over Capital One, because eating $400-500 million dollars of losses is worse than not having a Walmart credit card for a while. [21:44] IsambardPrince > Unlike the typical American who gets brainwashed by CNN and then gets their bad news from CNN the moment it's already too late, Walmart knows their customers. They know how much stuff they're selling and they know when things slow down and people spend less and start putting their groceries on buy now pay later. They have better data than you do.

They have a bigger balance book than a lot of entire countries. [21:53] IsambardPrince > [21:53] IsambardPrince > As early as last April, Walmart started behaving like this. Accusing Capital One of bad customer service, and for a while, they claimed they wanted out of their deal because Capital One was taking too long to finalize transactions on consumer statements, which was never an issue for us, but then I noticed Capital One started getting in and manually finalizing the pending transactions, which were often WAY too much because of order [21:53] IsambardPrince adjustment debits that eventually get reversed if Walmart order pickers don't substitute everything in your cart for pricier substitutes due to lack of stock on the item you requested. [21:53] IsambardPrince > [21:53] IsambardPrince > This played hell with our Walmart Capital One card for about 3 months because Walmart would push another pending transaction for the correct amount and then 5-7 days later Capital One would manually reverse the first charge, but our card at the time only had a $1,600 spending limit. This was never a problem before, but suddenly these antics between Walmart and Capital One had effectively cut that spending limit in half and Capital [21:53] IsambardPrince One did not agree to a Credit Line Increase until after this nightmare had ended, too late to be useful on our (at the time) grocery getter card. [21:53] IsambardPrince > [21:53] IsambardPrince > However, to my first point, Walmart knows what they did here. They loaded Capital One up with over $8.5 billion of consumer debt, a lot of which is toxic, and then they took action to saddle the bank with 100% of the losses while claiming that the issue was about transaction settlement timeframes.

[22:05] IsambardPrince $649. Brand new. [22:05] IsambardPrince How did Apple end up in such a glut of these things that Walmart is still selling them brand new. [22:05] MinceR \_()_/ [22:06] IsambardPrince Anyway, I won't buy it because I don't trust Apple. They lie when their lips are moving, and they don't even have to lie on support lifecycle because they never tell you until the moment it just doesn't get the latest OS. [22:06] IsambardPrince Even with my additional percentage off I don't trust Apple enough to spend $550 on the thing. [22:07] IsambardPrince I've never seen a company that was so transactional and happy to fuck their customers just a few years after they made a major purchase. [22:08] *psydroid2 has quit (Quit: KVIrc 5.0.0 Aria http://www.kvirc.net/) [22:08] IsambardPrince Apple stated that due to the Mac's design, 8 GB of RAM is "effectively 16". [22:08] IsambardPrince But it was the marketing guy that said that. [22:08] MinceR lol [22:08] IsambardPrince Not an engineer. [22:09] IsambardPrince He said the Mac has "memory compression and unified memory architecture". So does my Linux PC and I can still scrape up against 16 GB of RAM if I throw something heavy at it. [22:10] psydroid|2 Mac has unified memory architecture because Intel and AMD want you to buy their high-end stuff for the privilege [22:10] IsambardPrince Having memory compression does not "effectively double" anything. It means it can compress some pages and get them out faster, but it needs a working area that's not compressed that is big enough to page things back out into when those pages become active again. [22:10] psydroid|2 but then Apple cripples it by soldering laughably minimal amounts of RAM on the package [22:10] IsambardPrince It doesn't give you more RAM, per se, it just makes dealing with not enough RAM less painful than a swap file on a hard disk was. [22:11] IsambardPrince Right, the average user will need a minimum of 16 GB these days. [22:11] IsambardPrince Especially if that's all it can ever have in it and you don't want to guess too low. [22:12] IsambardPrince But Walmart isn't selling a 16 GB M1. [22:12] *psydroid|2 has quit (Quit: KVIrc 5.0.0 Aria http://www.kvirc.net/) [22:12] IsambardPrince They only sell the base model, of a four year old laptop.
