[19:22] schestowitz-TR2 yes [19:22] DaemonFC Seems like he just wants to do a drive by with idle threats. [19:23] DaemonFC MARISOL-style. [19:23] schestowitz-TR2 he may have done this to other people too [19:23] schestowitz-TR2 I will post a link here [19:23] DaemonFC She's a megalomaniac, you know. [19:23] schestowitz-TR2 the title is not obvious [19:23] schestowitz-TR2 that's by design [19:23] DaemonFC They have grandiose delusions and want you to buy into it as well. [19:24] schestowitz-TR2 yup [19:24] schestowitz-TR2 it's a mental issue [19:24] schestowitz-TR2 overcompensating for esteem [19:24] schestowitz-TR2 some shriinks teach this [19:24] schestowitz-TR2 to keep their patients alive [19:24] schestowitz-TR2 I mention all this and more [19:24] DaemonFC She started screaming all kinds of things. Like she'd have the state take away my driver's license and she was bragging that she'd have me put in prison very soon. [19:24] schestowitz-TR2 2.5 hours take ages to process [19:25] DaemonFC To her friends in the Phlippines who have no idea what the fuck is actually going on here and that she couldn't make good on any of that. [19:25] *liberty_box (~liberty@suig26pxj59pi.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [19:26] DaemonFC Her whole objective was to make me too scared to go into that immigration interview so that I'd bail on Mandy and then she could ruin his life. You know, trying to project that she had power, turn it into a self-fulfilling prophecy. [19:27] DaemonFC One of the ways she did it was sending Mandy a letter from her lawyer which was mostly whited out. [19:27] DaemonFC We got to the interview and there was that letter from her lawyer. All it said was that due to unforeseen circumstances, she was withdrawing her affidavit of support. I had another one ready to file because I knew that's the only thing she could actually do. [19:27] DaemonFC So the whole thing went through anyway. [19:28] DaemonFC It was one giant nothingburger and she actually paid a lawyer $900 to send that letter. [19:28] DaemonFC Which accomplished nothing except costing her $900. [19:29] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR2, When I still went to church, the pastor brought up a very good point. [19:29] DaemonFC It's easier to "be wronged" and accept it than it is to try to get revenge, drag your neighbors into court, etc. [19:30] DaemonFC And one reason for this is because the courts don't care. Even if Mr. GAFAM did file a lawsuit about a comment over a pizza, a judge would laugh it out of the courtroom, order him to pay for the costs, and say he didn't have time for this shit. [19:30] DaemonFC The guy is a goddamned lunatic. [19:32] DaemonFC As far as I can tell, the only success he's had with lawyers are because the other side didn't want to fight him that much. [19:32] DaemonFC The Motion Picture Association of America could squash him like a damned bug. [19:33] DaemonFC THe company that made those cheap tablets could do what every Chinese company that loses a shipment to Customs does. Change the packaging and keep selling them. [19:34] DaemonFC He "wins" because he picks targets who he thinks will back down. [19:34] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR2, There's a number of ways to find someone's address here. [19:34] schestowitz-TR2 starting to upload part 2 now [19:34] schestowitz-TR2 give is a few hours [19:35] DaemonFC One is to just search their name in Google and access those sites that just post it all. [19:35] DaemonFC Most people have not suppressed this, so a lawyer can do that. [19:35] DaemonFC You can also look at DMV records. Most people own a car or have a state ID or license. [19:36] DaemonFC The credit bureaus also know. You can do a soft pull and just pay them to look at someone's credit reports and say you're doing it for promotional reasons. [19:37] DaemonFC I got a letter from KIA saying that the engine might explode and they want to reprogram the ECM, schestowitz-TR2 [19:37] schestowitz-TR2 oh, joy [19:37] schestowitz-TR2 DaemonFC: i prepare the *likely) final part now [19:37] DaemonFC I would tell them I don't care if it blows up. Hell, if Scumbucket is in it, I'd be eternally grateful. [19:42] Techrights-sec2 not sure [19:42] Techrights-sec2 afk [19:42] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR2, You might mention me and the KIA. [19:42] schestowitz__[TR] tell me more [19:42] schestowitz__[TR] I am working on The Car Drives You -- Part V -- Part of the Coming War on General Computation [19:43] schestowitz__[TR] "General-purpose computing and cars which the owner/driver fully controls are a dying breed that may become extinct unless collective action is undertaken" [19:43] DaemonFC How Hyundai/KIA do the cheapest thing possible. You can't repair metal shavings in an engine and defective connecting rods with a software patch. [19:43] DaemonFC So they just reset the ECM to display Check Engine if it detects the condition. [19:44] DaemonFC Many people with an OLD car just leave the warning light on and keep driving it, if they're in a state with no smog test, which is like, 90% of the country. [19:44] schestowitz__[TR] "THIS will quite likely be the last part of this series (see [cref 153518 Part I], [cref 153616 Part II], [cref 153693 Part III], [cref 153723 Part IV]), so it is a bit of an outline. We might continues the series if further findings bubble up to reach the surface. [19:44] schestowitz__[TR] " [19:44] DaemonFC They extend the engine warranty a bit, but I've heard horror stories about KIA and engine warranties. [19:44] DaemonFC Like, the dealer will go "We're just dropping a used engine in here.". [19:44] schestowitz__[TR] "Eventually," as an associate noted, "the supply of old cars will run out and then even those that have succeeded, until then, in avoiding them will have their hand forced. The only way out is to influence the supply chain. Another aspect to cover, one which is as pernicious as the software aspects, is the push to move all aspects of car use and car maintenance over to subscription based models." [19:44] DaemonFC You have no idea if that engine is in good shape! [19:45] DaemonFC It could start doing the same thing 10,000 miles later! [19:45] DaemonFC It's not a remanufactured engine where a mechanic has gone through rebuilding it correctly. [19:45] DaemonFC It's just one they took out of a car that went to the junkyard. [19:46] DaemonFC They're extremely disreputable and pretty much flout the law and then dare their customers and the NHTSA to do anything about it. [19:46] DaemonFC They basically got a free pass under Trump, so they never fixed anything right. [19:46] DaemonFC Now they even have brakes that catch fire. [19:46] DaemonFC They don't call anything a recall. [19:47] DaemonFC They say there's a "Product Improvement Campaign". [19:48] DaemonFC Just don't buy anything from Hyundai or KIA. I haven't seen them design anything right, and by the time you compare a 2 year old KIA to a 2 year old Toyota, it's not much different in price, although statistically you'll have way more problems out of the KIA because they always seem to have a lot of manufacturing defects and they're so tight that they don't repair them properly when they do. [19:49] DaemonFC To escape the American labor unions, Hyundai and KIA set up their assembly plants in the deep south, and some of those workers on the assembly lines only make about $10 or $11 an hour, which is $6-7 an hour less than what Walmart pays where I live. [19:50] DaemonFC Most UAW members up north making more reputable brands make way over $20 an hour. Like $28 was typical a couple years ago. [19:50] DaemonFC So KIA is using the deep south states as sweatshop labor compared to that. [19:50] DaemonFC It's how they get the price of the car so cheap. [19:51] DaemonFC And nothing you buy that was made down there hold up. [19:51] DaemonFC We bought some furniture that was labeled Made in USA. It was made in Mississippi, which is the poorest state in the country. [19:51] DaemonFC The workers at that plant in 2018 were making $9 an hour. [19:51] DaemonFC And about 3 months in I sat on the couch and heard "CRUNCH!". [19:52] DaemonFC And the same things happened to our chair and loveseat. And The Roomplace was sending their warranty people out to our house constantly to patch it all up again. [19:52] DaemonFC The Roomplace is about the worst furniture store ever. They make everything look nice in the showroom, charge too much for it, and then it falls apart. [19:53] DaemonFC I got more durable furniture for a small fraction of the price this time from IKEA and Bob's Discount Furniture. [19:53] DaemonFC Yeah.... [19:55] schestowitz__[TR] thanks [19:55] DaemonFC schestowitz__[TR], According to a Google reviewer last year, they now have a 3 day rule. [19:55] schestowitz__[TR] integrating into draft [19:55] DaemonFC There's no fixes or replacements or warranty anymore. LOL [19:55] schestowitz__[TR] (if youare done [19:55] DaemonFC The Roomplace [19:55] DaemonFC (if youare done [19:55] DaemonFC Eh, just one more thing I guess. [19:55] schestowitz__[TR] go on [19:56] schestowitz__[TR] I might do a part 6 about environmental impact [19:57] DaemonFC Scotty Kilmer, a mechanic on YouTube that I like to watch, said don't buy a KIA unless you don't plan on keeping it very long. He went over one with (iirc) like 50 or 60,000 miles on the clock (my 2003 Impala has had some work, but closing in on 300,000) and he was going over all of the stuff on the KIA that was broken. He said they just don't last. If you plan to have the car for ten years, don't get one. [19:57] DaemonFC They make it real cheap to buy, but it's an illusion. [19:58] DaemonFC On average these days, you buy two cars to last as long as one would from the 90s, and as long as 3 would from the 80s. [19:58] DaemonFC The later the model year, the crappier they made it. The more they cheaped out on the parts. The more underpaid and disgruntled the labor. [19:59] DaemonFC Even GM is unbelievably bad now. [19:59] DaemonFC They used to go over all of their cars before QA signed off on them. It was a very tough inspection process, especially for their higher end brands, like Buick. [19:59] DaemonFC In fact, mom even bought a 1986 Buick for her third husband and it ran just fine 30 years later. ● Dec 25 [20:00] DaemonFC He's still driving it I think. [20:00] DaemonFC The carbon emissions of a vehicle are not just the amount of fuel it burns for the miles you get from it. [20:01] DaemonFC 26% of a car's LIFETIME CO2 emissions are when it is assembled. [20:01] DaemonFC If you have to buy three cars to last as long as one, did you really save any emissions? [20:02] DaemonFC When Congress passed Cash 4 Clunkers, they disabled and crushed cars that were in their prime, and paid for! [20:02] DaemonFC Then those people got a car payment. The average fleet fuel economy in the US went up by like, some abysmal amount. Less than 1%. And all of those cars that took energy and materials and emissions and lots of water to produce were crushed! [20:03] DaemonFC As soon as you start driving a car, the fuel economy starts going down for all kinds of reasons, from plugged filters nobody ever changes to worn out or fouled spark plugs. [20:04] DaemonFC This stuff is cheap to fix, but it will turn any car into a gas guzzler if you aren't servicing it. [20:04] DaemonFC These new Gasoline Direct Inject engines are amazing, for a little while anyway. [20:04] DaemonFC On paper, it rolls out of the dealer with 15% more power generated for the same displacement size as a Multi-Port Fuel Injected engine. [20:05] DaemonFC But it doesn't stay that way for long! [20:05] DaemonFC The EPA has not revised fuel detergent standards at the federal level since 1996. [20:06] DaemonFC And if you run fuel with the bare minimum of detergent in a GDI engine, you will have severe carbon buildup about 40,000-50,000 miles in and it will be running terribly. And the solution at that point is of course new plugs and having the mechanic tear apart the engine to do "walnut blasting" to get the carbon out. [20:06] DaemonFC That's not cheap. [20:06] DaemonFC If you want to avoid that in a modern engine, you have to pull over at the expensive gas stations that have the "Top Tier" label. [20:07] DaemonFC Nobody knows this, of course, until it's too late. [20:07] DaemonFC Murphy is not Top Tier gas and it's near most Walmarts and really cheap. [20:07] DaemonFC I can run my car on it. Don't try this with a new one! [20:08] DaemonFC The new technologies backfire, especially on early adopters. [20:08] DaemonFC Honda was the last major automaker in the US to introduce fuel injection. That got along really bad with US gasoline early on because there were no detergent standards then at all. [20:08] DaemonFC It was a disaster for everyone who bought a car like that before the mid to late 1980s. [20:09] DaemonFC But Honda has really conservative engineers. [20:09] schestowitz__[TR] ok [20:09] schestowitz__[TR] done.. [20:09] schestowitz__[TR] I think [20:09] DaemonFC VW was the first one to roll out GDI in the US, and everyone that bought one suffered that too, because their engine got crapped up and VW had to pay to have mechanics clean them out. [20:10] DaemonFC It's perfectly fine to run a GDI engine but don't buy bargain gasoline for it. [20:10] *SomeH4x0r (~someh4xx@4j9jkcntt88f2.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [20:11] DaemonFC Hyundai's THETA II engine was not GDI. In fact, I think it was a fine engine other than the defective connecting rods. [20:11] DaemonFC The correct repair is tear it down and replace those. [20:11] DaemonFC But the software patch that doesn't really do anything is cheap, so they do that. [20:12] DaemonFC Given every opportunity to make things right with their customers, Hyundai and KIA just screw the customer harder. [20:12] DaemonFC KIA Motors Finance was even in hot water for violating vehicle repossession laws in almost every state. [20:13] DaemonFC https://www.autoevolution.com/news/kia-recalls-295000-vehicles-over-connecting-rod-bearing-problem-152728.html [20:13] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.autoevolution.com | Kia Recalls 295,000 Vehicles Over Connecting Rod Bearing Problem - autoevolution [20:13] DaemonFC You'll probably know if the connecting rod bearings are failing even if you don't get the patch. [20:14] DaemonFC Your engine will make a horrible grinding noise while it's on. [20:14] DaemonFC You won't miss it unless you're deaf. [20:14] DaemonFC The problem is, once the bearings are bad, it won't run for very long like that. [20:15] DaemonFC But whoever has that problem will figure it out. [20:16] DaemonFC I personally witnessed two KIAs explode last year. [20:16] DaemonFC Within a week of each other. [20:16] DaemonFC The fire department had to come to the motel and to Walmart. [20:16] schestowitz__[TR] ok [20:16] schestowitz__[TR] done [20:16] DaemonFC MinceR, I suggest a patch that has the car shout Allahu Ackbar! when you turn it on. [20:16] DaemonFC Just in case. [20:17] schestowitz__[TR] draft ready, almost [20:17] schestowitz__[TR] I quote MinceR a bit [20:18] DaemonFC The only reason that woman at the hotel was okay was the firewall and the hood got the worst of it.

Constar Fin. Servs., LLC, No. 1:18-cv-01187-JPH-DML | Casetext Search + Citator [20:34] DaemonFC There's one about false credit bureau reporting and one about violating repo laws. [20:35] DaemonFC "the meters/odometers have become all electronic by now (they wont last 20 years like the old generation and repairing them would basically mean swapping components)." [20:35] DaemonFC Mine is electronic and still works fine. [20:36] schestowitz__[TR] ok, refresh page [20:36] DaemonFC If yours stops working you can still drive the car, and sell it, but you'd have to mark "exceeds mechanical limits" for the odometer. [20:36] DaemonFC Then it gets a new title saying "WARNING - ODOMETER READING NOT ACCURATE". [20:36] DaemonFC It'll be a major pain in the ass because age and mileage are how you determine the value. [20:37] DaemonFC So you'll have to sell it to them at a high mileage price or they won't take a risk on it. [20:37] DaemonFC "the whole plans." [20:37] DaemonFC planes [20:38] schestowitz__[TR] yes, saw it arlier [20:38] schestowitz__[TR] refresh page [20:38] schestowitz__[TR] check the fixes and new links [20:39] schestowitz-TR2 gafam video part 2 halfway there now [20:39] schestowitz-TR2 you are mentioned many times [20:39] schestowitz-TR2 and whatr it means [20:39] DaemonFC What happens when you get a single source for parts is exactly the same thing as prescription drugs. [20:40] DaemonFC BMW has a monopoly on brake pads, rotors, and calipers, so a simple brake job that might cost you $199 at a independent mechanic on a Chevy could run you $600-700 on a BMW. [20:40] DaemonFC Because he has to run down and buy the pads from BMW. [20:40] DaemonFC A used BMW might be cheap to buy, but it won't be cheap to keep. [20:41] DaemonFC MARISOL still has payments and hers is infamous for breaking down. [20:41] DaemonFC She bought the $6,000 warranty that gets you from year 3 to year 5, and it all started falling apart at year 5. [20:41] DaemonFC :) [20:42] DaemonFC With two more years of payments because she really couldn't afford it and so financed it for 7 years. [20:42] schestowitz__[TR] yes, typical [20:43] schestowitz__[TR] they price it to screw you [20:43] schestowitz__[TR] it's biased, it's like casinos [20:43] schestowitz__[TR] the odds are stacked against you [20:43] DaemonFC They got her for $1,000 for a wheel bearing hub. [20:43] schestowitz__[TR] home insurance can be obligatory [20:43] schestowitz__[TR] extended car warranty is not [20:43] DaemonFC I had an independent shop replace two and it cost me $700 for the set and labor. [20:43] DaemonFC And that was after decades. [20:43] DaemonFC And 5 times as many miles. [20:44] DaemonFC They got her down there for $1,800 for four tires and an alignment. [20:44] DaemonFC I got four tires and an alignment for $350. [20:44] schestowitz__[TR] "premium" service [20:45] DaemonFC Great, my Fallout 4 stopped working. [20:45] *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) [20:56] *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@zvy9y8s293m5q.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Dec 25 [21:05] DaemonFC The only way to live in Illinois now is to rent. [21:05] schestowitz-TR2 :/ [21:05] DaemonFC If you're in a big building where the landlord can spread the property tax pain around, that's the only thing to do. [21:05] DaemonFC It's ridiculous. If you buy a house here, it's going to cost 4x what the same house would in Indiana, and then the property taxes will be 15 times worse. [21:06] DaemonFC It's a second mortgage that never goes away. [21:06] DaemonFC The state is out of control. [21:06] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR2, I'm just glad that the Illinois Senate Majority Leader who got the "no cash bail" law through was carjacked. [21:06] DaemonFC She deserved to lose her Mercedes. [21:07] DaemonFC I hope they chop it and enjoy the money and don't get caught, but you know they'll jack people until the cops finally catch them because there's no jobs. [21:09] schestowitz-TR2 renting has no upside other than flexibility [21:09] schestowitz-TR2 like, if you want to move a lot [21:09] schestowitz-TR2 but even moving is - in its own right - a PITA [21:10] schestowitz-TR2 MinceR: the less you want, the happier you will be [21:10] schestowitz-TR2 the less you manage, the less you need to worry about [21:10] schestowitz-TR2 but rental is usually ripoff [21:10] schestowitz-TR2 and you still need a place to stay [21:12] DaemonFC It is, and every landlord knows it. [21:12] DaemonFC So half of them lure you in with cheap rent and then just keep jacking it up until you give up and move out. [21:12] schestowitz-TR2 if you stay in one place for a long time, you can negotiate price down [21:13] schestowitz-TR2 to the point where rental isn't much more than a little profitable to them [21:13] DaemonFC It went up 1.5% this year. [21:13] schestowitz-TR2 and they just don't want to hassle [21:13] DaemonFC Which, I mean, the government "admits" to 7% inflation. [21:13] schestowitz-TR2 it's ghood for you [21:13] DaemonFC And anything the government admits to that's bad, it's worse than what they admit. [21:13] schestowitz-TR2 DaemonFC: and it's bad for tyhe rich ;-) [21:13] schestowitz-TR2 according to the rich [21:13] MinceR schestowitz-TR2: and it's best to never have been born [21:13] DaemonFC So in theory, yeah, that worked out in our favor. [21:14] DaemonFC 5.5% cheaper rent in purchasing power-adjusted dollars. [21:14] DaemonFC The landlord couldn't get away with 7% because nobody can. [21:14] DaemonFC For 7%, maybe we just go ahead and move out. [21:14] schestowitz-TR2 social upheaval incoming [21:14] DaemonFC The market for rent is counter-intuitively weak right now. [21:14] schestowitz-TR2 with covid they pass some new laws [21:15] schestowitz-TR2 but that does not compensate for anger [21:15] DaemonFC 160,000 people left Illinois in the past 12 months. [21:15] schestowitz-TR2 activism needs to get off the www [21:15] DaemonFC 5,760 moved in. [21:15] DaemonFC Less people to rent to. [21:15] schestowitz-TR2 it's one way they control the masses [21:15] DaemonFC Less demand puts a lid on prices. [21:15] schestowitz-TR2 riling people up over race, gender ec, [21:15] DaemonFC It's not rocket science. [21:15] schestowitz-TR2 I covered this in my video [21:15] DaemonFC Mandy got me some clearance XBOX controller that doesn't work on my laptop. [21:16] schestowitz-TR2 lol [21:16] DaemonFC When I said it didn't work and it's because it wasn't meant to be used with Linux, he said he'd give it to his friend. [21:16] DaemonFC I picked one that was specifically supported by Device ID by the XPAD driver and I was already using it. [21:16] schestowitz-TR2 why a controller on a PC anyway? [21:16] schestowitz-TR2 PCs have better peripherals [21:17] schestowitz-TR2 I'd rather aim with mising [21:17] schestowitz-TR2 *micing [21:17] *Despatche (~desp@u3xy9z2ifjzci.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [21:17] schestowitz-TR2 DaemonFC: maybe that says something about a lack of demand for xmox [21:17] schestowitz-TR2 *xbox [21:18] schestowitz-TR2 outsold by the japenese, still [21:18] schestowitz-TR2 and valve is entering this market right about now or in feb. [21:18] schestowitz-TR2 archlnux+kde [21:18] DaemonFC Fallout 4 is a console game ported to the PC. [21:18] schestowitz-TR2 locked down nonetheless, at the FS level, IIRC [21:19] DaemonFC The PC of course has better mods, although Microsoft is trying to kill that and turn it into paying for mods as well. [21:19] DaemonFC So people strike back by pirating an older build of the game that accepts mods. [21:19] DaemonFC They're not only killing the Bethesda franchises, they're ruining the games that already existed. [21:20] DaemonFC They added some idiotic "survival mode" to Fallout 4 and Skyrim that makes it so your character can barely get anything else done except trying to survive. [21:20] DaemonFC It completely ruins the flow of the game. [21:21] DaemonFC I wish Mandy would just stop buying crap. [21:21] DaemonFC I may have to cut off the cards entirely. [21:21] DaemonFC So that he can't even buy lunch. [21:22] DaemonFC If things keep appearing in this house to go in his pile of shit in the corner of the bedroom, I will. [21:23] DaemonFC Or set up a child account and unlock that and set a $7 a day spending limit. [21:24] DaemonFC If I'm not watching him, he's always doing something that sets us back financially. [21:26] DaemonFC I don't like gifts. [21:26] DaemonFC The point of gifts is to make people feel bad about getting one and not also spending money on someone else. [21:27] DaemonFC And then people bid up the price of Christmas or birthdays and then the retailers laugh because people are always buying things that someone else doesn't even have a use for. [21:28] DaemonFC If it wasn't for consumerism holidays, they could never encourage people to waste billions of dollars unproductively on random purchases. [21:29] DaemonFC Apparently in 2019, economists actually studied this, and found that Americans ought $15.2 billion worth of unwanted holiday gifts for each other, and that's bigger than the GDP of some small countries. And then 4% admitted that they threw the gift in the trash and didn't say anything about it. [21:30] DaemonFC So, since everyone is too polite to say don't get me anything, please, this keeps happening every year.
