I contact google and they give me the typical troubleshoots and then blame the manufacturer. They tell me to do a factory reset. So I do that and now I cant download any of my apps. So I contact tmobile again and they tell me there are a bunch of customers reporting issues now. I then contact google again and they blame me for factory [14:12] DaemonFC resetting the phone, and say there is nothing they can do. Its my problem and to contact LG. So I do just that and LG says its not their problem its googles. This entire situation is a craps show and now I have zero access to anything. Thanks google!!! [14:13] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR2, Nobody wants to support you. [14:13] DaemonFC Off to the next victim in line.

[14:42] psydroid2 and from page 12 in French [14:42] DaemonFC Alerting the next group they were being fired. [14:42] DaemonFC "Online mortgage lender Better.com told media outlets Tuesday that the company will be laying off about a third of its employees. The mass layoffs will include roughly 3,000 employees in the United States and India, TechCrunch reported." [14:43] DaemonFC Yeah, "there's never been a better time for a home loan!". [14:43] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR2, ^ [14:44] DaemonFC "In that e-mail to employees, Ryan wrote that the company had to adjust to volatility in the interest rate environment and refinancing market." [14:44] DaemonFC Yeah, nobody is refinancing right now unless they need money badly. [14:44] DaemonFC Speaking of MARISOL.... [14:44] DaemonFC :) [14:45] DaemonFC "The company has raised just over $900 million since its 2016 inception, $500 million of which came from SoftBank in an April 2021 round that valued Better.com at $6 billion." [14:45] DaemonFC Softbank invests into a lot of bad businesses. [14:45] DaemonFC They got lucky when T-Mobile took Sprint off their hands. [14:46] DaemonFC Sprint had been making bad business decisions for years. Including investing in the wrong technologies and buying entire carriers to shut them down when they were already badly in debt themselves. [14:46] DaemonFC So T-Mobile has some customers who were originally with Nextel and then got bought up by Sprint. [14:47] DaemonFC That's what this is. Instead of competing, they just buy each other up. Not for the business, but so they buy and sell you. [14:49] schestowitz-TR2 debt offloading [14:49] schestowitz-TR2 shell game?

[15:05] DaemonFC T-Mobile basically acquired Sprint by acquiring their debt, and not a whole lot more than that. [15:05] DaemonFC Softbank was their biggest creditor and had been effectively running Sprint as debtor-in-possession, without having taken them to bankruptcy court. [15:05] DaemonFC The whole notion goes we won't put you in bankruptcy as long as you do what we say. [15:05] schestowitz-TR2 "throw it into this pot" [15:05] schestowitz-TR2 -IBM [15:05] schestowitz-TR2 -Microsoft [15:05] schestowitz-TR2 buy some company [15:05] schestowitz-TR2 or: [15:06] schestowitz-TR2 form a new company [15:06] DaemonFC Yeah, creditors can file an involuntary bankruptcy against you. [15:06] schestowitz-TR2 throw toxic assets into it, let it fail [15:06] DaemonFC But it's usually no good for anyone. [15:06] schestowitz-TR2 maybe it'll even be bailed out [15:06] DaemonFC Sprint didn't have many assets, but it had a lot of debt. [15:06] schestowitz-TR2 then go RHR RAH to the investors [15:06] schestowitz-TR2 "shareholders, our expenses have been reduced!!" [15:06] DaemonFC A discharge would have gotten rid of the entire company, most likely, and Softbank would have been reduced to taking pennies on the dollar when the assets got sold off or disposed of. [15:07] DaemonFC This way, Softbank operated them as Sprint and kept trying to get them taken over by someone else.

[15:10] activelow challenge [15:11] activelow DaemonFC: I hope so [15:11] activelow given the political and social instabilities here [15:11] DaemonFC You think it would be better under Putin? [15:11] activelow DaemonFC: yes. [15:12] activelow although this isn't that high of a bar, in germany [15:12] activelow yet, the closest political associate in Germany, AfD political party, is now subject to secret surveillance, of the criminals ruling in Germany [15:13] activelow anyway, CH4-electricity conversion has a lower efficiency, nonetheless electric heating is efficient [15:13] DaemonFC " Beyond this, we should abolish felony disenfranchisement it is an injustice, and when combined with systemic racism that puts lots of blacks in jail, results in disenfranchising a substantial fraction of blacks." Richard Stallman [15:13] activelow and the distribution grid into households is both costly, and poses an enormous political challenge, to social stability and such [15:13] DaemonFC Well, I'd like to ask Stallman why he thinks that guy who tried to fake a back injury after a 3 mph collision should get to vote again in Wisconsin. [15:13] activelow which is reason enough, to leave, wherever such is present, currently [15:13] DaemonFC He was convicted of child sexual abuse and bail jumping. [15:13] DaemonFC Now Stallman wants him to vote again. [15:14] DaemonFC Then when the guy was in prison for those felonies, he participated in a riot and attacked a jail guard and was sentenced again. [15:14] activelow and recently, greens proposed to dump corrosive hydrogen into the pipelines, instead of CH4 [15:15] DaemonFC I spoke with the parole department in Wisconsin to let them know he was down here in Illinois and claiming he was hurt in a car accident. [15:15] DaemonFC Now he's got a parole warrant out on him and he's hiding in Mississippi from it. [15:15] DaemonFC Oddly, he didn't appear in court for my traffic ticket. [15:19] activelow anyway, northstream1 and northstream2 were expensive, however, due to the "renewable" energy subsidy fraud electric heating was abandoned almost everywhere [15:19] activelow instead, parallel infrastructure, besides electric cables, to distribute gas into households, was invested into, because carbon and blah and this and that [15:20] activelow i suspect, the pipes alone outweigh any advantage of CH4 heating in comparison to electrical heating [15:20] activelow however, since nuclear plants are scheduled for final shutdown, electricity production is even more challenging [15:21] activelow instead of burning CH4 inside plants to produce electricity, and heat, CH4 is distributed into households [15:21] activelow which is, *insane*, politically, and economically, insane [15:22] activelow that's why, they, say, CH4 has a preferrable "carbon footprint", as if this could be quantified [15:23] activelow another idea was, to combine electricity and heat production in power plants, because climate and blah, however then isolated pipes to distribute hot water was required, which again is far mor expensive than distributing electricity for electric heating [15:23] activelow instead, due to the excessive subsidies which increased electrical energy costs, electric heating installations were removed in germany [15:24] activelow installations, which were economically, ecologically, and too concerning operation safety, not as bad as "eco activists" imagined [15:24] activelow however, since they said electric vehicles were desireable, the electricity wasn't available, because Tesla vehicles required the electric charge, produced from burning coal mostly, in germany [15:24] activelow coal, which is, imported from, the evil russians [15:25] activelow it's not like AfD wanted to cover their argument and secret, the criminal and corrupt regime in germany wants to silence them [15:26] DaemonFC Google Play is down and nobody wants to admit whose fault it is, even though it only appears to happen on T-Mobile. [15:26] activelow i'll not cover the details here, what the operational safety concerns would be, in comparison to electricity [15:27] DaemonFC I noticed that no T-Mobile employee has commented on the thread about it, which is very unusual. [15:28] DaemonFC schestowitz, I suppose it's possible that as T-Mobile is making these network changes, some automated DDoS prevention on Google's end might detect the network changes and block legitimate traffic. [15:28] activelow i don't think it was "russians" who decided to distribute CH4 into households, CH4 transport is viable for big pipelines, imo [15:28] activelow to burn it in electicity productin facilities, however, due to "carbon" blah, a theoretical ecological benefit, they decided to burn CH4 in households [15:29] activelow which is, a theoretical benefit only [15:29] schestowitz DaemonFC: draft? [15:29] activelow in practice, it's a nightmare [15:30] DaemonFC schestowitz, The Play Store seems to be working again on my phone. [15:30] DaemonFC So that makes 11 days it was apparently not working right in the Chicago region, and I only noticed because some updates piled up without installing. [15:31] DaemonFC I got my phone on the day people started reporting it happening and ran all the updates, and that's the last time I had checked. [15:32] DaemonFC And it's down again. [15:32] activelow particularly in cities, if they distribute CH4 with expensive pipes, they could have installed hot-water pipes with isolation too, and burned the CH4 in electricity/heat combined power plants [15:32] DaemonFC LOL [15:32] activelow furthermore, public transportation which requires electricity, has in fact a rather bad "carbon footprint" [15:33] schestowitz DaemonFC: http://techrights.org/2022/03/09/breaking-internet/ [15:33] TR Bot The Internet is Breaking and We Need Contingencies | Techrights [15:33] schestowitz draft, mentions your issue [15:33] activelow Bus vehicles with Diesel engines are far superior, however electric railway and trams transportation, got a lobby here [15:34] schestowitz DaemonFC: they saw "Play", read it as "Putin" [15:34] schestowitz blacoked again [15:34] activelow and here we are, war in Europe, thanks to the intellect of theirs, which wasn't Putin's [15:35] activelow i mean, the political and social instabilities in Germany are such severe, i cannot imagine how such a distribution grid could remain without violating any international agreement, related to IAEA, NATO, whatever [15:35] activelow since guns are forbidden, they began to ram cars into political party headquarters already [15:36] activelow if you didn't read any german newspapers, i could cite any if desired [15:38] schestowitz-TR2 activelow: where do you get news?
