[08:35] IsambardPrince It slows the car down, but it's emissions equipment. [08:35] IsambardPrince Well, it's illegal to tamper with it, but..... [08:35] IsambardPrince The car wouldn't know because it's at the air intake box. [08:36] IsambardPrince That's before there's anything to measure oxygen levels, combustion byproducts, etc. The unburned fuel would only escape when the car is off, so you wouldn't fail your emissions test if you just cut it out of the air box. [08:40] IsambardPrince You don't really want any restrictions in the airbox, except for the air filter which has to be there to make sure you don't end up with garbage getting sucked into the engine that does a lot of damage. [08:57] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], Now I have a pile of car air filters. Walmart is clearancing them out for $2.96 each. [08:59] IsambardPrince I swap these things out faster than they recommend. They get pretty black after a year of driving around here. It's just really nasty and polluted when you live in a city. [08:59] IsambardPrince :P [08:59] IsambardPrince So I change them twice a year. ● Sep 15 [09:06] IsambardPrince Every year it seems car makers do something else that's dumb. I'm sure that charcoal filters in the air box was something California or Europe made them do. Maybe Canada. [09:06] IsambardPrince I suppose they probably sell utility knives there though so you can just cut the stupid thing out of the air box. [09:07] IsambardPrince The emissions stations just ask the OBD-II system if any directly monitored pollution control system isn't working right. [09:08] IsambardPrince There's no way to directly monitor the air box. You could use the MAF sensor to detect if the car thinks there's too much air coming in somehow, but that's not reliable. Various air filters have different characteristics on that and if they make the system too finicky it would violate the Warranty Improvement Act. ● Sep 15 [10:06] schestowitz[TR2] back [10:12] psydruid > i reported an IS(IL) account on Twitter/X and again was refused they should be penalized/deleted...

About all they can do is cut out AmEx if they don't want to pay the worst fees out there, but Visa and MC collude to drive up the fees, so there's almost no point in dropping AmEx now unless you're a notorious market for con artists and counterfeit merchandise that doesn't like losing fraud cases, like eBay is, when AmEx sides with the customer. [20:45] IsambardPrince Visa and MC have horrible dispute resolutions and MC is the worst of the two. They go out of their way to bury you, the customer, so that it's almost impossible to get your money back from a big fat crook like that guy that runs the Batteries Plus Bulbs one town over who completely f***ed my car's anti-theft computer when he tried making a car key, failed, causing me to have to go to the dealership to get it sorted out. He then told [20:45] IsambardPrince MC that I was a thief who "needed money" and that my car was a piece of shit, basically (it's not, but the guy was resorting to throwing mud because he was pissed that he may lose a dispute due to lousy customer service and not making this right at the merchant level when I asked for a refund). [20:46] IsambardPrince MC eventually gave me about half the money I paid him back, and he kept a "programming fee" for taking this shitty laptop out to hook up to the car, with Windows 10 on it, where he just punched in what kind of car it was, and proceeded to deactivate my remote while he made a key that didn't work. [20:46] IsambardPrince He then proceeded to start making harassing phone calls to my home threatening to have the police out to my house because MC gave me....$75 back after I had to submit paperwork from a car dealership detailing how bad he screwed me over (and cost me another $275 at the dealership!) [20:46] IsambardPrince Since then, I do not use Capital One credit cards for anything I even might have a problem with that escalates to a dispute. They're a horrible bank and they're issuing their QuickSilver cards on the MC network, and after seeing the complete horror show that is MC disputes for Capital One, the bank has basically ensured that their cards are off limits for most purchases. [20:46] IsambardPrince If Capital One gets Discover, they'll proceed to fire the American customer support and outsource it to screen readers in a foreign country, they'll make Discover as shitty and random and bizarre as the rest of Capital One is, the agents will have no power to do anything to your account, and the Discover network means Capital One will be in charge of the dispute process, which may even make it worse than dealing with MC. [20:46] IsambardPrince This won't work for merchants or consumers. It will be more like T-Mobile slipping $250,000 to Trump by booking empty hotel rooms, then taking over Sprint, promising more jobs and lower bills, then firing about 20,000 people and doubling the bills. [20:46] IsambardPrince The problem here seems to stem from gullible people believing a Press Release. And if you believe that, then maybe Kroger actually will "lower grocery prices by ONE BILLION DOLLARS" after they swallow Albertsons....LOL. [20:46] IsambardPrince For the next trick, maybe RealPage can figure out how they really lower the price of rent if you look at their behavior in some alternate dimension. [20:46] IsambardPrince Practically the only thing that's guaranteed when corporations issue a press release, in general, but especially when attempting a merger is, they only lie when their lips are moving, the exact opposite of everything they say will happen, and there's not enough left of the media to do anything but copy and paste it and add a couple blurbs from ChatGPT and some typos summarizing what the corporation said. [20:46] IsambardPrince We're told every day how corporations make our lives better. Consider the type of press releases that the pharmaceutical industry makes. Now, consider that since 2020, the life expectancy of the average American has dropped by the most years in a developed country since Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union."

Study Finds 'No Clear Link' to Increased Company Value - Slashdot [20:59] IsambardPrince "AmEx has exorbitant merchant fees, but it widely accepted because they promise that more affluent customers who spend more on their cards will come to your business, but that's not always true and most AmEx customers also have cards from the other three networks. [20:59] IsambardPrince Dropping AmEx cards is probably the best way to save money on merchant fees since they're pretty much guaranteed to be the most expensive payment network to deal with, and they like keeping their customers happy and are more likely to side with them in a dispute. [20:59] IsambardPrince The experience at Batteries Plus Bulbs with MC and Capital One was enough to lose them many thousands of dollars in spend on my Capital One cards. It went from being a card I used every day to one that's usually in the sockdrawer and used to make a small monthly purchase so they won't close it." ● Sep 15 [21:08] IsambardPrince "Discover ditched most of their card features. They no longer have purchase or price protection, they don't have much of anything. They still make a lot of money, but I chalk that up to customers basically either just liking their customer service or leaving money and benefits on the table that they could get with other cards. [21:08] IsambardPrince I do know that Capital One is a crappy bank and they issue the majority of their cards on the MC network, which is the worst one. I've only had four disputes with credit cards in 20 years and 3 were with Capital One, one was with AmEx. [21:08] IsambardPrince Two were Capital One cards that ran on Visa, and Visa handled the disputes okay. I had to work for it, but MC was terrible. MC buried me under ridiculous demands and every time I gave them a thing, they wanted two more things it seemed like. MC is vicious against consumer disputes. [21:08] IsambardPrince Amazon lost a package in transit and then refused to give me my money back. Finally after it sitting there for weeks saying "delayed in transit, I went to American Express. They gave my my money back when Amazon just kept routing me to their "heavy bulky" department which wouldn't do anything. [21:08] IsambardPrince When AmEx sided with me, Amazon got incredibly pissed and demanded that I pay them about $200 for something that never arrived and which their own system admitted that I never got. [21:08] IsambardPrince They said they would suspend my Amazon account for winning a merchant dispute. Finally, they offered that if I abandoned my AmEx dispute, they'd refund the money to my credit card as a merchant-initiated refund, and so I dropped it and they pushed it themselves and considered the matter closed. Amazon hates losing disputes and you can bet your ass they'll take it out on the customer even if it was Amazon's fault. They only offer to [21:08] IsambardPrince make you whole again when they've already lost and started threatening to suspend your Amazon account, and even then it's just so they won't be classified as a high risk merchant and pay dispute fees." [21:09] IsambardPrince MinceR, There's some weird shit on Amazon. [21:09] MinceR lol scAmazon [21:09] MinceR why do people still give jeff bezos their money? [21:09] IsambardPrince I came across a oil filter for my car that nobody else even sells in the US that I know of. [21:10] IsambardPrince Some brand called MANN that's German and apparently owns Purolator. [21:10] IsambardPrince They're apparently very popular for European cars and they have one that has the GM 3800 V6 application. [21:10] IsambardPrince They were running some oil filter deals so I grabbed that and a Purolator One. [21:10] IsambardPrince Might grab a Purolator Boss too. [21:11] MinceR https://teamfortress.fandom.com/wiki/Mann_Co. [21:11] TR Bot ( status 404 @ https://teamfortress.fandom.com/wiki/Mann_Co ) [21:11] IsambardPrince It's just an oil filter, but of course the Germans really overthink everything. [21:11] IsambardPrince I saw them cut one open on YouTube and it seems like the Germans really overdid the fuck out of these oil filters. [21:12] IsambardPrince There is just all kinds of filter media, they put the bypass valve on the opposite side of the filter. [21:12] IsambardPrince They have a really weird anti-drainback design. [21:12] IsambardPrince The endcaps are metal, really solid too, so is the outer shell. [21:12] IsambardPrince The end plate is stainless steel and quite thick. [21:13] IsambardPrince The inner core is too, and really thick, not these cheapo aluminum ones. [21:14] IsambardPrince It's a surprisingly good filter design for something that was made in Germany, not China, and retails for about $10. [21:14] IsambardPrince It's hard to find a terrible oil filter. [21:15] IsambardPrince The only one I've seen that I probably wouldn't use on my car are those Ecoguard ones that Amazon sells for less than $3. [21:15] IsambardPrince I'd use a FRAM Orange Can or a Super Tech oil filter before I went that cheap. I saw a cut up of the Ecoguard. [21:16] IsambardPrince They're just comically cheaply designed. You might buy them if you were a quick oil change shop running a $19.99 oil change special. [21:16] IsambardPrince You're already losing money, why spend another $1-2 on a filter. [21:16] IsambardPrince A lot of these quick oil change shops do things to cut corners. [21:17] IsambardPrince But even Walmart's oil filters are not this bad. [21:17] IsambardPrince The Super Tech looks at least OE (AC Delco) quality, but you save about $1. [21:18] IsambardPrince The Super Tech engine air filters I stocked up on seem to be equal to AC Delco or maybe better. [21:18] IsambardPrince 74 pleats in the Super Tech, 61 in the Delco. [21:18] IsambardPrince It's entirely possible that GM is using thicker paper or something and the Super Tech just has more pleats, but both will trap about the same amount of dirt. [21:19] IsambardPrince Suppose I could weigh them both on the kitchen scale. [21:19] IsambardPrince But that wouldn't account for the weight difference in the rubber gasket. [21:20] IsambardPrince MinceR, I used to work with a guy who was really abusing his Honda. He said he just removed the air filter. [21:20] IsambardPrince I said, "Geez, no love lost, huh?" [21:20] MinceR lol [21:20] IsambardPrince You can improve those old slower 90s American shitboxes a little. [21:21] IsambardPrince I had a bunch of GM 3100 V6 engines, they were nothing to write home about but it was a fun upgrade engine for the 1995 Corsica. [21:21] IsambardPrince It was a little car so that engine was overpowered anyway. [21:21] IsambardPrince I picked up one of those cold air intakes with a conical K&N air filter for the end of it. [21:22] IsambardPrince Those trap...most of the dirt. They get the really large dirt that does the most engine damage, but they're not the best for filtration. They let in a lot of air though. [21:22] IsambardPrince You have to watch it when you clean them that you don't over-oil them or else you can fuck the MAF sensor up. [21:22] IsambardPrince I just compensated for the thing being an oil gauze filter by changing my oil and filter all the time. [21:23] IsambardPrince Back then I could get 4 quarts of oil and a filter for less than $5. [21:23] IsambardPrince I just jacked the car up every 2,000 miles or so and did another oil change. [21:24] IsambardPrince Any dirt that makes it past the air filter should end up in the oil. It'll go around once and end up in the oil filter, hopefully. [21:24] IsambardPrince But it will clog the oil filter a bit faster. [21:25] IsambardPrince It's almost impossible to wear out the innards of the engine on these old American cars if you're just changing your oil and filters like mad. [21:25] IsambardPrince There's nothing getting in there and circulating around enough to cause much damage. [21:25] IsambardPrince The entire engine is metal. [21:25] IsambardPrince I mean, what will wear out? Some of the gaskets maybe. [21:26] IsambardPrince Even abused (like my mom's old Impala) they often rack up over 300,000 miles without any significant issues. [21:29] IsambardPrince MinceR, You'd think that the Germans could build better stuff. [21:30] IsambardPrince There's some American mechanics and aftermarket parts that can make some of the German engines a lot more reliable. [21:30] IsambardPrince They get rid of that cheap plastic shit the Europeans use and correct many of the design problems. [21:30] IsambardPrince Then you might have yourself a nice car. [21:30] IsambardPrince If you want to have the engine redone. [21:31] MinceR no, you'll just have a more reliable german car [21:31] MinceR at least most of them aren't nice [21:31] MinceR they're tacky as fuck [21:31] IsambardPrince Right, you're starting from a low baseline on reliability. [21:31] IsambardPrince So you're fixing a lot of low hanging fruit that should have never been in the original design. [21:33] MinceR and it would be expensive as fuck [21:33] MinceR starting out with an overpriced car and adding extra expensive parts [21:33] IsambardPrince MinceR, So AmEx did a thing. [21:34] IsambardPrince One of the perks of their expensive charge cards is a Resy credit of $100 a year. [21:34] IsambardPrince But the Resy app was discontinued for Android after AmEx bought it. [21:35] IsambardPrince https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002528CLU [21:35] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Amazon.com [21:35] MinceR wtf is a Resy [21:35] IsambardPrince MinceR, A restaurant reservation app. [21:36] IsambardPrince https://resy.com/?date=2024-09-15&seats=2 [21:36] TR Bot Right This Way [21:36] IsambardPrince I guess they figure if you have an Android you're not spending a ton on fancy restaurants? [21:36] *solution has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds) [21:36] MinceR why, are all fancy restaurants that bad? [21:38] IsambardPrince There's some of them in here that charge you $50 for opening a bottle of wine. [21:38] IsambardPrince Not $50 for a bottle of wine. [21:38] MinceR lol [21:38] IsambardPrince $50 for opening the bottle. [21:38] MinceR hard fucking work [21:38] IsambardPrince If you have a $695 a year AmEx charge card that costs $150 per Authorized User.... [21:38] IsambardPrince You probably don't mind. [21:39] IsambardPrince They charge for AU cards because those get you into the Centurion Lounges at the airport and they don't want people who aren't making them money in their lounges. [21:39] IsambardPrince :) [21:39] IsambardPrince Capital One allows 2 free AUs on each primary VentureX account, and they get into Capital One lounges for free. [21:40] MinceR aren't there way too many roman soldiers in those lounges already? [21:41] IsambardPrince Just don't get any food. I hear if they undercook it you'll end up with Legionnaires' disease. [21:41] IsambardPrince ;) [21:41] MinceR :> [21:42] IsambardPrince MinceR, Banks are doing airport lounges to help justify their insane annual fee on their travel credit cards. [21:42] IsambardPrince If you don't use the lounges all you end up doing is paying so other people can go in there and get food and booze and back massages. [21:43] IsambardPrince They only let you in if you have their card, and also have a ticket for a flight leaving from the airport that day, and only starting 4 hours before your flight leaves. [21:43] IsambardPrince So they make it hard to actually use it without going out of your way.
