[01:51] IsambardPrince Then there was another one with a big fat black woman talking about being hurt on the job so she went after her emoployer and "Now I'm livin' the good life!" with shopping bags and fur coats. [01:51] IsambardPrince You know, because serious disabilities and pain are the good life? [01:51] IsambardPrince So they openly advertise for frivolous crap, and fraud against courts. [01:52] MinceR indeed [01:53] IsambardPrince MinceR, Apparently, attorneys are giving their clients fake eyeglasses to make them look less criminal. [01:53] IsambardPrince So the prosecutors are asking sometimes who gave you the glasses. [01:53] IsambardPrince I would answer, "My eye doctor. I can give you the prescription if you would like to look at it." [01:53] IsambardPrince Just totally make him look like a dick who was picking on a guy with glasses.

[04:16] IsambardPrince The people deported to El Salvador under the illegal use of the Alien Enemies Act, 99.5% of them had no criminal records at all, and at the same time, Trump is dumping out prisons of violent felons and "people who like little kids", and letting them live in your communities. [04:16] IsambardPrince Ludicrously, Tom Homan said that having no criminal record means they're actually more dangerous than if they had one. [04:16] IsambardPrince So there's that. [04:16] IsambardPrince Dumping out the prisons makes the people Trump pardons your problem. They're not gonna be his problem. He has the Secret Service, he has all that, these nuts and criminals and violent psychos aren't going to interfere with his plans to golf and double the price of cars and everything at Walmart. [04:16] IsambardPrince Sadly, the Department of "Justice" is now claiming that all of the January 6th people are "pardoned for every crime they ever commit, even into the future". Most of these sorts of people can't even stay away from law enforcement for a week (some were shot dead for threatening cops within three days, including one in Indiana), some of them had dozens or hundreds of criminal convictions already prior to 1/6 for beating the wife, child [04:16] IsambardPrince exploitation, animal cruelty, drugs, you name it. So many are back in federal court on new crimes, where the DOJ claims they are immune from all laws. [04:16] IsambardPrince One of Trump's "patriots" actually chased his wife down the hall, hitting her in the head with a hammer, and raping her, then he urinated in her mouth, and there was no review whatsoever over whether this one should have gotten the pardon." [04:37] IsambardPrince MinceR, Reddit.... :P [04:38] IsambardPrince Some woman complained that her husband who was in the country for 23 years illegally, lost his DACA for drunk driving, and Trump deported him. [04:38] IsambardPrince I replied "Drive sober or get pulled over." [04:38] IsambardPrince :) [04:39] IsambardPrince If you're in the country illegally and on a deferred deportation program, and you get in the car drunk and drive, knowing that you're breaking the law.. [04:39] IsambardPrince That should be strikes one, two, and three. [04:39] IsambardPrince We have enough of that shit going on here without bringing it in from other countries, choosing to actively forego removing them, and then also being asked to ignore drunk driving. [04:40] IsambardPrince Only US citizens are entitled to be here unconditionally. [04:40] IsambardPrince Even then, a DUI is hardly something any normal person wants on their criminal record. ● May 31 [05:02] *rianne_ (~rianne@jcfiaarnjjqje.irc) has joined #techrights [05:02] *asusbox (~rianne@jcfiaarnjjqje.irc) has joined #techrights [05:04] *asusbox has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [05:04] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [05:06] TR News Challenge https://hackaday.com/2025/05/29/2025-pet-hacks-challenge-poopopticon-is-all-up-in-kittys-business/ | Source: Hackaday [05:06] TR Bot Pet Hacks Challenge : Poopopticon Is All Up In Kittys Business | Hackaday [05:07] TR News IcePI Zero https://hackaday.com/2025/05/29/icepi-zero-a-pi-zero-for-fpga/ | Source: Hackaday [05:07] TR Bot Zero: A Pi Zero For FPGA | Hackaday [05:07] TR News You Can Make Your Own Ribbon Mic With A Gum Wrapper https://hackaday.com/2025/05/29/you-can-make-your-own-ribbon-mic-with-a-gum-wrapper/ | Source: Hackaday [05:07] TR Bot Can Make Your Own Ribbon Mic With A Gum Wrapper | Hackaday [05:13] TR News FTC Finalizes Order with GoDaddy over Data Security Failures https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2025/05/ftc-finalizes-order-godaddy-over-data-security-failures [05:13] TR Bot FTC Finalizes Order with GoDaddy over Data Security Failures | Federal Trade Commission [05:14] TR News CISA on "Clown" https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/alerts/2025/05/22/advisory-update-cyber-threat-activity-targeting-commvaults-saas-cloud-application-metallic [05:14] TR Bot Advisory Update on Cyber Threat Activity Targeting Commvaults SaaS Cloud Application (Metallic) | CISA [05:15] TR News CJEU receives first referral on chatbots and copyright http://ipkitten.blogspot.com/2025/05/cjeu-receives-first-referral-on.html [05:15] TR Bot CJEU receives first referral on chatbots and copyright - The IPKat [05:18] TR News (NEW): Today in Techrights https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/31/Today_in_Techrights.shtml | Gemini address: gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/05/31/Today_in_Techrights.gmi [05:18] TR Bot Tux Machines Today in Techrights [05:19] TR News Techrights Welcome to the New Techrights https://techrights.org/ | Gemini address: gemini://gemini.techrights.org/ [05:19] TR Bot Techrights Welcome to the New Techrights [05:19] TR News Techrights IRC Proceedings: Friday, May 30, 2025 https://techrights.org/n/2025/05/31/IRC_Proceedings_Friday_May_30_2025.shtml | Gemini address: gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/05/31/IRC_Proceedings_Friday_May_30_2025.gmi [05:19] TR Bot Techrights IRC Proceedings: Friday, May 30, 2025 [05:21] TR News Techrights Over at Tux Machines... https://techrights.org/n/2025/05/31/Over_at_Tux_Machines.shtml | Gemini address: gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/05/31/Over_at_Tux_Machines.gmi [05:21] TR Bot Techrights Over at Tux Machines...

[05:48] IsambardPrince Not great for you. [05:48] IsambardPrince Not the biggest problem. [05:48] IsambardPrince It's just the general culture of drugs, smoking, and excess.

[21:56] IsambardPrince Nobody is making the replacement stylus though, so those get harder to find. [21:57] *cmb (~cmb@y67qhiej8ixa6.irc) has joined #techrights [21:58] IsambardPrince MinceR, I wonder if there would be enough of a market for those to have a supplier in China make them. [21:58] MinceR those wear the discs out just like phonographs, don't they? [21:59] IsambardPrince Over time, yeah. They wear the disc out faster if you don't replace the stylus often enough. ● May 31 [22:00] IsambardPrince https://www.ebay.com/itm/315602165710?_skw=CED+stylus [22:00] TR Bot Pardon Our Interruption... [22:00] MinceR ah, so they also wear the stylus out. wonderful. [22:00] IsambardPrince MinceR, Empire of the Sun. [22:00] IsambardPrince On CED! [22:00] IsambardPrince I actually just ordered that on DVD. [22:01] IsambardPrince It'll be in Japanese though. Japanese disc. [22:01] IsambardPrince The CED would. [22:01] IsambardPrince DVDs and Blu Rays usually have several audio tracks. [22:01] IsambardPrince The Last Emperor on CED. [22:02] IsambardPrince I have that on Blu Ray. [22:02] MinceR wikipedia seems to claim the stylus never actually touches the disc [22:02] IsambardPrince Then why do the discs wear out after about 500 plays? [22:03] MinceR \_()_/ [22:04] IsambardPrince They don't just stop working. They just wear down, apparently. [22:05] IsambardPrince They may start skipping. [22:05] IsambardPrince But skipping and stuff are way more likely if they get dirt and stuff all over them, which is why only the player takes them out of the case. [22:05] IsambardPrince But apparently they still attract dirt. [22:05] MinceR the fact that they eventually applied a layer that acts as lubricant also suggests that the stylus does touch the disc [22:05] IsambardPrince It just happens slower. [22:06] IsambardPrince Yeah. why put a silicone lubricant on it if there's nothing that touches the disc? [22:06] IsambardPrince It seems like maybe something does touch it and they're trying to stop the disc from wearing out, as fast. [22:09] IsambardPrince MinceR, There's no practical use for these things anymore, obviously. It's just fun to screw around with something you got cheaply at the thrift store. [22:09] IsambardPrince When it was becoming painfully obvious CED was going nowhere, RCA dumped them for like $100, but you also got like 40-50 movies with them. [22:10] IsambardPrince So basically you were getting enough movies that on VHS it would have cost you over $1,000. [22:12] MinceR https://i.imgur.com/97GwzZZ.png = https://rimgo.bloat.cat/97GwzZZ.png [22:25] *FANTOM has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds) [22:29] IsambardPrince MinceR, The problem with CED was that it arrived on the market in 1981, when they originally planned for 1976. [22:29] IsambardPrince So instead of having the market to themselves, LaserDisc came out in 1978 with picture and sound that were much better, then VHS and BetaMax were already on the market. [22:30] IsambardPrince So now there were four competing standards, and CED looked and sounded no better than VHS and required disc-flipping and multiple discs for some stuff. [22:31] IsambardPrince And when you have four competing standards and you're number 4 for usability and quality, you'd better have the best price. [22:31] IsambardPrince But when your manufacturing costs are about the same as the rest, you can't do that, and make money. [22:32] MinceR betamax came out already in 1975 [22:32] IsambardPrince So RCA dumped $650 million into this. That's like about $2.7 billion today. [22:33] IsambardPrince Then they wrote it off completely. [22:33] MinceR so it would have predated CED anyway [22:33] IsambardPrince MinceR, Beta wasn't widely available in the US until the late 70s. [22:33] IsambardPrince All this stuff comes out in Japan first. [22:33] IsambardPrince And you know them. [22:34] IsambardPrince They're all flocking to the stores and they have it a month later. [22:34] IsambardPrince And they're all like "Ooooh, lasers, we're Asian people and we like lasers, much better than tape, lasers! Hahaha!" [22:34] IsambardPrince And meanwhile in the US we're still getting tapes for 12 more years. [22:34] IsambardPrince :) [22:35] IsambardPrince You know, Asian markets always get the cutting edge stuff. [22:36] IsambardPrince LaserDisc was big in Japan. They didn't stop making players until 2009 and I think discs came out through 2011? [22:36] IsambardPrince Video CDs were never a thing in the US, but in Asian countries they were using those. [22:37] IsambardPrince Meanwhile in the US it was tapes, tapes, more tapes, even more tapes. [22:37] IsambardPrince Lots of people were very skeptical of dumping money into a DVD system. [22:37] IsambardPrince They cost a lot, you couldn't record on them at that point, and EVERYONE remembered when some people bought into CED or BetaMax and got burned. [22:38] IsambardPrince Lost all their money. [22:38] IsambardPrince "Hello? Can anyone hear me? I'm still alive and I'm very badly burned!" [22:38] IsambardPrince :P [22:40] IsambardPrince What slowed down DVD adoption in the US was memories of Beta and CED among Baby Boomers and GenX. [22:40] IsambardPrince Nobody wanted to go all in on a $400 player and a bunch of $30 discs on a format that may not see wide usage. [22:41] IsambardPrince You have DVDs everywhere now. Reports of the demise of DVD have been greatly exaggerated. They made billions and billions of them. You can find pretty much any title used on ebay, New ones still get made. [22:42] IsambardPrince There's a market segment of people like me who just absolutely hate streaming. [22:42] IsambardPrince See it for what it is. [22:42] IsambardPrince You pay and pay and they can do anything they want to you. [22:43] IsambardPrince It's like those damned xbox consoles and stuff. [22:43] IsambardPrince You pay $700 for the device, and the first thing that pops up, is this agreement where you agree they can brick it so it does nothing, if they want to.
