Wed 19:53:50 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "IBM is no longer innovating, it is marketing with the intent to help the stock price and the likes. If the information you have provided is indeed the case (no doubt based on everything we have experienced), the above will be also the case, very much indeed." https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1k5bwg1n0
Wed 19:54:43 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "I'm sorry that I have to point this out, but this move triggered IBM's decline, there is a clear correlation between the start of this so called trend and the company's deterioration. Thanks to Ginni and Tonic, his heir AK and McKinsey for the outcome (sarcasm on). To other companies following this trend: It doesn't work."
Wed 19:55:27 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "To: Cheaper (and less qualified) markets that have no ability to create their own jobs (that's why they need us to provide such jobs). This also comes with a transfer of knowledge and loss of competitive edge, IP, trade secrets. Export of services = tariff for US companies, importers of such jobs and intermediaries that provide HR services to businesses to facilitate global hiring, outsourcing, near-shoring, offshoring."
Wed 19:56:33 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "In July 2025, IBM announced over 2500+ job openings in India across various departments, including engineering, consulting, and operations. This indicates a continued focus on hiring in the region. Back in January, IBM announced plans to increase its workforce in India by a similar number, focusing on "talent development and expansion" in Tier-2 cities like Bengaluru, Kochi, and Ahmedabad."
Wed 19:56:58 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "Regarding the number of employees in India, IBM does not publicly disclose the precise figure. However, several sources offer estimates and insights: Estimates of Employee Count: By most estimates, IBM has close to a third of its global workforce (at least 100,000 employees) in India, potentially more than in the US."
Wed 19:57:24 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "Hiring Trends: In March 2025, IBM reportedly had significantly more job openings in India (3,866) than in the US (333), suggesting an active hiring drive in the country. Historical Growth: Between 2003 and 2007, IBM's headcount in India grew by almost 800%, reaching nearly 74,000 in 2007 (Wikipedia)."
Wed 19:58:39 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "No one at IBM there 10/20/30 years (I think IBM wants you there 4-6 yrs now and then kicks you out) should ever be surprised when their manager tells them they have 30 days to find a job internally (in India) and 2 weeks of that 30 days is training you replacement(s) (in India)." https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1k5bwg1n0
Wed 19:59:21 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "I think most people know IBM itself stopped calling itself International Business Machines A LONG TIME AGO. Now it truly is just 3 letters. It is International and it is a company with most of it's employees in India very intentionally."
Wed 20:00:32 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "I have noticed a sharp downturn in product quality and documentation over the past 2-3 years. I have seen a sharp uptick in hiring in India during the same timeframe. Correlation or causation?" https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1k57k4772
Wed 20:00:56 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "That is what Globalization is all about - a global poison from Third World countries to bring everyone down to their way of life and of living.

Fri 00:08:06 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ "Since I looked at the car, the dealership logged an air filter replacement on Tuesday 9/16 to Carfax and raised the price $750 to $11,884. Their car value tool went from saying that $11,134 was a "fair" deal to saying $11,884 is a "good" one."
Fri 00:08:29 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], Piyush Honda.
Fri 00:08:30 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ :D
Fri 00:10:25 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Replace $10 air filter.
Fri 00:10:29 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Raises the price $750.
Fri 00:10:53 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Those air filters are basically the cheapest maintainence item on the entire vehicle and almost nobody does it.
Fri 00:11:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's basically $10 and the dirtier and more clogged they get, the worse your acceleration and gas mileage get, until eventually the car either won't start or triggers a check engine light.
Fri 00:11:58 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I've just been sitting in the shop over something else before and seen a lot of people come in with a code, or paying to have it towed in.
Fri 00:12:06 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And all that was wrong was a clogged air filter.
Fri 00:12:33 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Like, if you took it out and smacked the dirt that was on top and put it back in the car would at least start and get you down to Walmart.
Fri 00:12:34 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ :)
Fri 00:32:02 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ https://old.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/1nkodod/sure_thats_why_i_bought_a_fridge/
Fri 00:34:21 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Facebook appears to have blocked everyone who sued them under BIPA from ever having an account again.
Fri 00:34:36 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They recognize your face and say you violated their terms of service and you can't have an account.
Fri 00:34:48 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], ^
Fri 00:35:12 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Then again they had to pay me over $700 so that's worth more than having a Facebook account.
Fri 00:51:15 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, I remember John worked at the hospital and they bought these $50,000 robots that brought meals and meds to the nurses.
Fri 00:51:35 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And one of them got on the elevator when an air ambulance crew landed and turned the key to bring the elevator to the roof.
Fri 00:51:50 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So this robot drives out and goes flying off the roof and crashes onto the ground.
Fri 00:52:44 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I wonder how much money they actually save on these stupid robots vs. hiring people at minimum wage. The robots don't just cost money, they wear out, they need servicing, they run on software. They put the hospital at the mercy of a vendor who might want to refuse service and just sell another robot.
Fri 00:54:32 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Fri 00:58:54 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Plus, it's easy to ignore a robot.
Fri 00:59:11 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ John said that meals would arrive, or meds, and the nurses would ignore the robots saying that they'd arrived.
Fri 00:59:44 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So you had a robot sitting there, or multiples sitting there, that you could not use, because they couldn't return to their station for another task until the nurses got around to doing something.
Fri 01:00:24 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So all of a sudden you were paying for something that was sitting idle when there were more delivery runs to make.
Fri 01:00:42 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So then you have to budget in for all this idle time you didn't plan on, and buy more robots.
Fri 01:00:44 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And contracts.
Fri 01:22:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, So the new cars are all like BMWs in some ways.
Fri 01:22:32 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Everything is on the same high speed fiber optic network.
Fri 01:22:50 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And the government is mandating this crap so that you can put the brakes and airbags and other stuff on the same network.
Fri 01:23:08 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So once you have that, you have the power windows and locks and stuff on it too and software to run all of it.
Fri 01:25:28 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ presumably the SOS bullshit is also on the same network or bus
Fri 01:25:46 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ so that someone can contact your car via the cellular network and drive it into another car
Fri 01:26:39 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Oh people where I'm at don't need any help doing that.
Fri 01:27:10 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, These are the dumbest people I've ever seen.
Fri 01:27:19 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Like half of them are illegals and they don't have any car insurance.
Fri 01:27:34 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They get the car from wherever, under the table, don't title it or put a license plate on it.
Fri 01:27:39 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ When they hit you they just drive off.
Fri 01:27:56 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So all the car insurance companies now say if you don't find the person who hit you, they ain't payin'.
Fri 01:27:58 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ :)
Fri 01:32:47 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, You know you have to pay $100 a month for car insurance so that when someone hits you there's a 50% chance it pays something.
Fri 01:33:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Then it goes up and you say "But you agreed it was the other person's fault!"
Fri 01:33:44 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And they say, "Of course we did, but we never promised to be fair. We'll be.....COMPLETELY UNFAIR!"
Fri 01:35:30 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, Then of course the $100 a month is to insure a clunker.
Fri 01:35:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ If you insure a brand new car it could be over $400 a month.
Fri 01:35:52 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Just for the insurance.
Fri 01:37:09 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ sure, but if they want to use your car as a projectile to take out a particular other car, then they do need the "help" :>
Fri 01:37:59 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ we also have mandatory responsibility insurance
Fri 01:38:29 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and the way that is regulated by the government is that when one of the insurers stole the money, the state made the insured drivers effectively uninsured
Fri 01:38:35 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ but they still had to continue paying, of course
Fri 01:38:49 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and it was everyone's fault, except the government's

Fri 04:52:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], So basically free over the air television is dying in the United States.
Fri 04:52:56 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ First they made it "digital" so that most people can't see it at all unless they live a few miles from a skyscraper that's broadcasting it in MPEG-2.
Fri 04:53:18 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Now they're going to this ATSC 3.0 shit where all existing TVs will be unable to interpret the signal and there will be DRM.
Fri 04:53:42 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ You might be able to buy some sort of a decoder box for like half of what a new television costs.
Fri 04:53:53 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So that you can use a set that's over 10 years old, but otherwise works fine.
Fri 04:54:40 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ When it was analog you used to be able to watch _something) it's just that it wouldn't be a perfect picture if you were far away but it still worked.
Fri 04:55:12 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Like I lived 40 miles from the transmitter for our local PBS and still got a signal, I just got like 80% picture and 20% snow.
Fri 04:55:17 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But it was watchable.
Fri 04:55:38 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Now you get these blips where you get TV then it freezes and blocks up and then you get nothing for several seconds.
Fri 04:55:41 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Over and over.
Fri 04:55:44 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And that's "digital".

Fri 06:18:18 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], For whatever reason, you cannot get good Chinese food for love or money here.
Fri 06:18:21 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's just not possible.
Fri 06:18:39 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] weird
Fri 06:18:44 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's like, disgusting. It doesn't taste right, they leave it out too long.
Fri 06:18:45 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] no chinese-owned places?
Fri 06:19:06 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Well, the closest GOOD Chinese restaurant I went to was all the way the fuck down in Pekin, Illinois.
Fri 06:19:12 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Which is almost five hours downstate.
Fri 06:19:30 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Pekin?
Fri 06:19:33 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] a place called that?
Fri 06:19:39 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] or an eatery
Fri 06:19:42 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] sounds like Peking
Fri 06:19:49 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] (Beijing)
Fri 06:20:02 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pekin%2C_Illinois
Fri 06:21:08 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Only about 30,000 people.
Fri 06:21:25 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Tazewell County is sparsely populated.
Fri 06:21:57 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], They have a chain called "See Thru Chinese Kitchen" in Chicago.
Fri 06:22:10 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I don't know. It seems to be Chinese food meant for black people.
Fri 06:22:13 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Too salty.
Fri 06:22:24 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They seem to just fucking dump salt and MSGs in it.
Fri 06:23:03 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Salt and MSG are a cheap way to make bad food taste better.
Fri 06:25:54 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], I decided to make fun of the Honda dealer on Google.
Fri 06:26:01 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They replied saying they would like to talk to me.
Fri 06:27:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I went over the price of the car they were trying to sell me, that it was thousands of dollars over FMV for the state it was in, all the work my mechanic said it would need, the cost of that work, and that after I told them this they said that they'd "sell it to someone" and "struts just leak sometimes" and then on Tuesday, they loggged that they replaced an air filter on Carfax, and raised the price of the car $750.
Fri 06:28:06 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], Air filters are between $10 and $20 retail at Walmart, depends on what you drive.
Fri 06:28:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I picked up an entire SHELF of them for the Buick for $1 each on clearance.
Fri 06:30:10 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I mean for a buck you can just open it up and toss one in the dumpster every few months if you want.
Fri 06:30:15 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It'll never cost you that much money.
Fri 06:31:56 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They like to open the air filter housing while you get an oil change at those stealerships and say you need an air filter and those are $89.
Fri 06:32:03 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "Thinking is expensive (consider how much sugar a human brain consumes); therefore, organisms may attempt to think as little as possible in order to save energy. Hence the risk of letting a chess engine play for you (while you instead need to internalize the game of chess, and use the chess engine only as a critic, not a crutch), among other such traps." gemini://thrig.me/blog/2025/09/19/thinking.gmi
Fri 06:32:22 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I mean it's the biggest scam, they're buying them for wholesale and they make like 90% profit on every car that comes through.
Fri 07:52:26 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], The shop that's working on my car broke a valve cover while taking it off so they put a new valve cover on and ate the cost of the part.
Fri 07:52:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I'm surprised it broke honestly, it's not plastic.
Fri 08:27:36 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], It'll be over $300 worth of stuff for a Raspberry Pi 500 with the monitor.
Fri 08:27:50 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Maybe $270 ish without the manual.
Fri 08:32:55 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], I should have listened to my psychiatrist about Mandy.
Fri 08:33:36 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I got had. He got US citizenship from me and now he doesn't want me. He's treated me badly through almost all of the marriage, and was just taking advantage of the fact that I was lonely and vulnerable.
Fri 08:38:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ What happened to Charlie Kirk shouldn't have happened, but it is ironic that it happened to a man who called for political violence and then got some, and also to a man who said that children who are killed by lunatics with guns don't matter as much as the guns.
Fri 08:38:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Now we're in a phase where Trump the dictator is saying he'll suspend broadcast licenses for criticizing the president or saying something that the far-right doesn't like about Kirk, who was an asshole who in many ways did get what he had coming even if it should not have happened. This is not something that happens in a free country.
Fri 08:39:47 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ There's no exception to the first amendment that says "except when you're talking about Trump or Charlie Kirk".
Fri 08:39:56 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But this is no longer a country based on laws.
Fri 08:43:30 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] nope
Fri 08:45:01 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] <Isambard_Prince> Salt and MSG are a cheap way to make bad food taste better.
Fri 08:45:24 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] i remember things boiled over when MinceR and Matey talked about MSG (and i didn't even know what MSG was)
