| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Interesting development. | Apr 16 00:17 |
| IsambardPrince | It turns out that the Illinois State Police have a database called the ORI. | Apr 16 00:17 |
| MinceR | :> | Apr 16 00:17 |
| MinceR | there's also a series of games called ori | Apr 16 00:17 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, The judge that got the case is a Biden appointee. | Apr 16 00:20 |
| IsambardPrince | With a wink and a nod, the State and the district court could just keep the federal government tied up at the trial court forever. | Apr 16 00:20 |

| IsambardPrince | If they keep writing puff pieces and nice things. | Apr 16 04:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | right | Apr 16 04:27 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but | Apr 16 04:27 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it has gone in thid direction for a while | Apr 16 04:27 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | because NPR had prior cuts | Apr 16 04:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | even under Biden | Apr 16 04:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i worry not that much because | Apr 16 04:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 1) selling out is a bad plan | Apr 16 04:28 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | 6) then whoever youi sold out to sees little "returns" | Apr 16 04:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 7) your sugar daddy leaves | Apr 16 04:29 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 8) you shut down | Apr 16 04:29 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the same for LLMs | Apr 16 04:29 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's happening right now to Quartz | Apr 16 04:29 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], Maybe run the piece about Bill's Casio watch again. | Apr 16 04:30 |
| IsambardPrince | He's just like us, complete with the Mercedes that his wife wouldn't recognize him in as he slipped out of the office after 1 hour work (screaming at people) every day, so he could pay women for sex. | Apr 16 04:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Don't we all have the second Mercedes and 5 hour work week? | Apr 16 04:31 |
| IsambardPrince | I would love to be paid that much for screaming at people until, while it was an open secret where I was going in the other Mercedes every day, nobody cared because at least it was over with for that day. | Apr 16 04:32 |

| IsambardPrince | They demanded his pet cat. | Apr 16 04:37 |
| IsambardPrince | It was supposedly a $2,700 cat or something. | Apr 16 04:37 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], I told my mom some of this. | Apr 16 04:41 |

| IsambardPrince | This sounds like Lobsta before the Lobstabotomy. | Apr 16 04:50 |

| IsambardPrince | βComputing is entering a world dominated by two platforms: Linux and Windows,β | Apr 16 04:53 |
| IsambardPrince | More like exiting the world dominated by Windows. | Apr 16 04:53 |
| IsambardPrince | It's a remaining value product that is hardly even tended to. | Apr 16 04:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Farmed out to India and on life support, working less and less each time they send out updates, that shuffle around what's broken. Assuming you don't get hit with one where the computer won't even start that time. | Apr 16 04:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Even in the Windows XP era, Windows at least wasn't anywhere near as temperamental as it is now. | Apr 16 04:54 |
| IsambardPrince | When you're in the C-Suite, you apparently see things like in-house testers as expendable, so the product can push updates that don't even barely work. Almost everyone I know that uses Windows has had to become proficient at spending all their time backing up files, planning that it could go out at any minute. | Apr 16 04:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Then hours restoring from the backup image every so often. | Apr 16 04:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Truly modern computing doesn't work like this, where the OS is so rotten and horrible that you have to plan on it failing outright at least once a year. | Apr 16 04:56 |
| IsambardPrince | We left that era a while ago, in Free Software and otherwise (Chrome OS and Mac OS). | Apr 16 04:57 |
| IsambardPrince | People want one thing from Windows and that's for the version their particular workload depends on to stay running. I know an optometrist that still has Windows XP on an airgapped computer. | Apr 16 04:58 |
| IsambardPrince | He says the vendor refuses to fix the software so it works on a supported release of Windows, because they can hold it over his head as a reason to buy a new $40,000 machine. | Apr 16 04:58 |
| IsambardPrince | Meanwhile, supported versions of Windows have definitely changed enough so that they can't run that program. Why? | Apr 16 04:59 |
| IsambardPrince | Microsoft paid to throw a lot of trash on top of a system that was basically working in the past 20 years. | Apr 16 04:59 |
| IsambardPrince | Why would you pay thousands of people to deface something that basically worked and may need a few updates here and there? | Apr 16 05:00 |
| IsambardPrince | I figure if they just kept developing something that was basically Windows XP, people would still go along with it. | Apr 16 05:01 |
| IsambardPrince | You know, does process scheduling and memory management have to be better than XP? Yes, does sound and graphics APIs? Sure. | Apr 16 05:01 |
| IsambardPrince | But like over 90% of what they've done since XP is just trash. | Apr 16 05:01 |
| IsambardPrince | And it's causing the platform to age badly and in ways they can't even hide anymore. | Apr 16 05:02 |
| IsambardPrince | I would literally rather deal with a mid 90s system with one of the OEM releases of Windows 95 than what they've created now. | Apr 16 05:02 |
| IsambardPrince | We've moved out of the Windows world. You go to Walmart even, they have more Chromebooks and even a Macbook. | Apr 16 05:04 |
| IsambardPrince | Over 50% of the laptops there are not running Windows. | Apr 16 05:04 |
| IsambardPrince | So if they're being almost forced out of the market even at the "cheapo bargain basement shit" level, what does that say? | Apr 16 05:04 |
| IsambardPrince | When not even Walmart customers will tolerate it, increasingly. | Apr 16 05:04 |
| IsambardPrince | Walmart has never been beholden to Microsoft. They'll sell whatever they can make good margins on and that people want. | Apr 16 05:05 |
| IsambardPrince | If the market for consumer products wasn't shifting to Chrome OS and Mac OS, then it would still be a bunch of poorly designed clunky PC laptops with bad firmware, Windows, and two dozen pieces of bloatware to try to recoup some of the licensing fees. | Apr 16 05:06 |
| IsambardPrince | I just don't see Microsoft ever recovering in the consumer market. They're treading water and trying not to go under on the low end of the market now. | Apr 16 05:07 |
| IsambardPrince | It's sort of like how empires die, you know, like the British, or the US one. | Apr 16 05:08 |
| IsambardPrince | First you control or influence 80% of the world. | Apr 16 05:08 |
| IsambardPrince | Then there are some setbacks. | Apr 16 05:08 |
| IsambardPrince | But people still fear or respect you. For a time. | Apr 16 05:08 |
| IsambardPrince | Then next thing you know, you have an island and you're still finding new ways to lose. | Apr 16 05:08 |
| IsambardPrince | When you have a brexit and then you have a close call with Scotland, you know. | Apr 16 05:09 |
| IsambardPrince | And then they want another go at it. | Apr 16 05:09 |
| IsambardPrince | If you look at Microsoft in the last 15 years, it was clear even in the Ballmer era that they knew they had to be something else, they just couldn't figure out what. | Apr 16 05:11 |

| IsambardPrince | Looks okay. | Apr 16 05:33 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], I'd say tariffs could be the death of Microsoft in the consumer space. | Apr 16 05:33 |
| IsambardPrince | People already want something robust enough that it will work for 8-10 years, and you don't get that with Windows hardware. Quite often, the hardware can't even make it more than 3-4 years before you get broken keys or the computer stops working reliably. | Apr 16 05:34 |
| IsambardPrince | If people start facing massive tariffs that significantly increase the cost of a computer, they don't want to pay that tariff every 3-4 years. They want a system that lasts 8-10. | Apr 16 05:35 |
| IsambardPrince | We've seen what massive consumption taxes have done in the rest of the world, that has them. | Apr 16 05:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Nobody has done anything as stupid as what Trump says he's doing, to my knowledge. | Apr 16 05:35 |
| IsambardPrince | But consumption taxes drive down consumption. It's easier to hack around problems and use something until it falls apart than it is to keep paying onerous taxes. | Apr 16 05:36 |

| IsambardPrince | So Brita won on the patent infringement, now Culligan is going after them for antitrust reasons. | Apr 16 07:22 |
| IsambardPrince | It's become a full scale war between water filter companies. | Apr 16 07:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I wonder if this is why the Walmart Great Value Lead Reduction filters disappeared from the shelves. They did an okay job on that I guess, but it was not a carbon block design like Brita's patent described, just densely packed granules. | Apr 16 07:30 |
| IsambardPrince | They tended to stop up because of air pockets, but you could tap them with something to get them going again. | Apr 16 07:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Now Walmart is back with some new "basic" pitcher filter that fits Brita systems, but different supplier and it's just the standard taste and odor claims. | Apr 16 07:31 |
| IsambardPrince | They paid a bunch of fake reviewers and maybe even some chaffbot spew. | Apr 16 07:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Many people who reviewed it that didn't get a "free product" gave it one or two stars and say it stops up. | Apr 16 07:31 |
| IsambardPrince | For some reason, Brita's filters don't stop up and the other ones seem to. | Apr 16 07:32 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], I acquired several good movies from a library sale today. | Apr 16 07:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Paid $2 each and they list for almost $40 each on Amazon. | Apr 16 07:33 |
| IsambardPrince | I can't believe someone threw out Criterion blu rays of anything! | Apr 16 07:34 |
| IsambardPrince | And there's no scratches on any of them. | Apr 16 07:34 |

| IsambardPrince | How does a TV that nobody ever touches get handprints? | Apr 16 07:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i opted out | Apr 16 07:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 23 years ago | Apr 16 07:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | that was CRT | Apr 16 07:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | heavy but small TV | Apr 16 07:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it cost about 80 pounds in dixons | Apr 16 07:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | which would now be pcworld | Apr 16 07:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and selling only "flat" and "smart" | Apr 16 07:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | if they sold only flat and stupid, I'd call it "Lozza" | Apr 16 07:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Oh my God. I had an HD CRT and got rid of it. | Apr 16 07:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | when? | Apr 16 07:44 |
| IsambardPrince | It was so heavy that it was basically hernia inducing. | Apr 16 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i gave the council my old CRT before pandemic started | Apr 16 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | around 2019 | Apr 16 07:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Oh, maybe 15 years ago. | Apr 16 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it was a Dell computer monitor | Apr 16 07:44 |
| IsambardPrince | If it wasn't for the weight of it, I'd have never gotten rid of it. | Apr 16 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it no longer worked, it got so bad it would make noises anf flicker | Apr 16 07:44 |
| IsambardPrince | It had an amazing picture. | Apr 16 07:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Just absolutely blows these LED screens out of the water. | Apr 16 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | now it's hard to find CRTs | Apr 16 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | probably still possible, but i have seen none in ages | Apr 16 07:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i used to work in a computer store as a teen | Apr 16 07:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | back then flat screens were: | Apr 16 07:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 1) expensive | Apr 16 07:45 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm sure I got one of the last CRTs they sold. | Apr 16 07:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 2) of low picture quality | Apr 16 07:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 3) not known to many peolple | Apr 16 07:45 |
| IsambardPrince | I bought it at KMart in like 2005 I think. | Apr 16 07:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it was almost 25 years ago | Apr 16 07:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | with many patents on such screen | Apr 16 07:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | LG was among the frontrunners (south korea) | Apr 16 07:45 |
| IsambardPrince | Flat screens still have not caught up with CRT on quality in some ways. | Apr 16 07:45 |
| IsambardPrince | The contrast for example. | Apr 16 07:46 |
| IsambardPrince | And the color accuracy. | Apr 16 07:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | digital ones make up by high res | Apr 16 07:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not sure how to compare them | Apr 16 07:46 |
| IsambardPrince | My Blu Ray copy of Spirited Away looked so much more vivid on the HD CRT set. | Apr 16 07:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | my uni opfficer had 2 CRTs | Apr 16 07:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | very large ones | Apr 16 07:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they could do amazing resolutions | Apr 16 07:46 |
| IsambardPrince | You can't even hook up a Blu Ray Player to a set like that now. | Apr 16 07:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like 2k+ | Apr 16 07:47 |
| IsambardPrince | The first batch of Blu Ray Disc players had component out. | Apr 16 07:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they make up by | Apr 16 07:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 1) res | Apr 16 07:47 |
| IsambardPrince | And now it's just HDMI. | Apr 16 07:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 2) size | Apr 16 07:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so they make it like 4k | Apr 16 07:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and 70 inch screen | Apr 16 07:47 |
| IsambardPrince | Worse, if you can even play a newer title on an older player, it will deliberately limit the resolution to 540p. | Apr 16 07:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | then tell you to sit on a couch on the other wisde of the room | Apr 16 07:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | phones are another BS | Apr 16 07:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they may have high res | Apr 16 07:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but they are SO TINY | Apr 16 07:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | who would want to watch a movie like this? | Apr 16 07:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | if you allocate 2 hours to watch a flick | Apr 16 07:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | then do it properly | Apr 16 07:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | with proper sound and picture | Apr 16 07:48 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], Blu Ray was a trap. | Apr 16 07:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's like esting "coke" and "chips" instead of a meal | Apr 16 07:48 |
| IsambardPrince | They had some time bombs they never intended to let you have after they got it in your house. | Apr 16 07:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Like component out. | Apr 16 07:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's not good fore you and less enjoyable | Apr 16 07:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | my laptops still have disc | Apr 16 07:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | optical disc | Apr 16 07:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | even the one i bought months ago | Apr 16 07:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they play - DUMBFOUNDED - music WITHOUT a nET CONNECTION! | Apr 16 07:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | NO NETFLIX OR APPLE MUSIC OR WHATEVER THEY CALL IT! | Apr 16 07:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you can like, you know, play music | Apr 16 07:50 |
| IsambardPrince | Right, Blu Ray enshittified itself. | Apr 16 07:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | without wifgi or "5g" or... | Apr 16 07:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and you can pass around the music | Apr 16 07:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | cd out | Apr 16 07:50 |
| IsambardPrince | In the standards documents, which most end users would never see. There was a time frame for everything, right? | Apr 16 07:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | cd in | Apr 16 07:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | plays in another machine | Apr 16 07:50 |
| IsambardPrince | Image Constraint Token off, until.... | Apr 16 07:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | amazing! look ma, no apps! | Apr 16 07:50 |
| IsambardPrince | Support Component out, until... | Apr 16 07:50 |
| IsambardPrince | All this nice stuff they planned to take away a few years after getting it in your home. | Apr 16 07:51 |
| IsambardPrince | When something has zero market share, you don't do a full frontal assault on the user and say "Buy It!" usually. | Apr 16 07:51 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | pose DRM | Apr 16 07:51 |
| IsambardPrince | You let them fall into the trap. | Apr 16 07:51 |
| IsambardPrince | You make a format that's very amenable to them. Then you take all the nice things away and spring the trap once it's in their home. | Apr 16 07:51 |
| IsambardPrince | HDMI is an objectively horrible standard. | Apr 16 07:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | now headphones | Apr 16 07:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they want to impose DRM | Apr 16 07:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you must be "doing something iolllegal" fopr wanting a standard "jack" | Apr 16 07:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | jack the pirate | Apr 16 07:52 |
| IsambardPrince | It's mainly for the DRM. | Apr 16 07:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Even the physical connection sucks. | Apr 16 07:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Tug on a cord and you break the fucking TV or a laptop. | Apr 16 07:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Or whatever the port is on. | Apr 16 07:52 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | HDMI demands perfect wire | Apr 16 07:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Get a kink in the cable, there's an expensive cable in the trash. | Apr 16 07:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | if the cord is slightly damaged, you get nasty effect or just blANK SCREEEN | Apr 16 07:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | which is bad for the planet | Apr 16 07:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i have so many "bad" HDMI wires piling up | Apr 16 07:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i avoid them with VGA any time I can | Apr 16 07:53 |
| IsambardPrince | To use as trip wires for if the crime boss breaks in? | Apr 16 07:53 |
| IsambardPrince | :D | Apr 16 07:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "crime boss" | Apr 16 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | rianne loves that joke | Apr 16 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i think you saidd it's a reference | Apr 16 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | to pop culturee somethinbgv | Apr 16 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "head of crime" | Apr 16 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | what sort of law firm has a "head of crime" | Apr 16 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | makes it sound like they commit or defend crime | Apr 16 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | which they sort of do ^_^ | Apr 16 07:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, a crime boss is like Al Capone or the head of the Chicago Outfit or something. | Apr 16 07:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | anyway, about HDMI | Apr 16 07:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you can get cheap ones | Apr 16 07:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the issue is | Apr 16 07:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | do not move them much | Apr 16 07:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they are flaky | Apr 16 07:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they are also short | Apr 16 07:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | usually 1.2 m | Apr 16 07:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not 2m | Apr 16 07:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | def. not 5m | Apr 16 07:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | we have a long one and you cannot jerk it much | Apr 16 07:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or you lose the picture | Apr 16 07:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | waste of money | Apr 16 07:55 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], Watching Seven Samurai. | Apr 16 07:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Even the criminals who raid the village in the movie are more decent than my landlord. | Apr 16 07:56 |
| IsambardPrince | First scene they say "Raid that village!" and the other one says they took the rice from them last harvest and if they steal again they'll have nothing left. | Apr 16 07:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | that says a lot | Apr 16 07:57 |
| IsambardPrince | Back when criminals wouldn't leave you with nothing because they needed more from you later. | Apr 16 07:57 |
| IsambardPrince | Now they don't even care. Steal it all in one go. Move on like locusts. | Apr 16 07:57 |
| IsambardPrince | Now they're debating over how to deal with the criminal raiders. | Apr 16 07:59 |
| IsambardPrince | One of them suggests that the "Magistrate" can do more than collect taxes, and then another one says all they do is show up after each raid and assess the damage, and they're useless. | Apr 16 08:00 |
| IsambardPrince | Seems like the government worked about as well for them as the American one works for me. | Apr 16 08:00 |
| IsambardPrince | They end up hiring mercenaries to protect them iirc. | Apr 16 08:01 |
| IsambardPrince | I doubt that's an option for dealing with the landlord. | Apr 16 08:01 |
| IsambardPrince | Though it would be fun. | Apr 16 08:01 |
| IsambardPrince | Star Trek Enterprise had an episode that was just straight up plagiarism of this movie. | Apr 16 08:03 |
| IsambardPrince | They replaced the raiders with Klingons. | Apr 16 08:04 |
| IsambardPrince | And they wanted dilithium ore. | Apr 16 08:04 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], Something about cultural appropriation? White Savior? (Archer) | Apr 16 08:04 |
| IsambardPrince | "Star Trek was always woke!" Yeah, not so much. | Apr 16 08:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | TNG? | Apr 16 08:09 |
| IsambardPrince | TNG had some troubling episodes too. | Apr 16 08:09 |
| IsambardPrince | Like the black people on the ooga booga planet. | Apr 16 08:09 |
| IsambardPrince | That was really painful to watch. | Apr 16 08:10 |
| IsambardPrince | TNG had some really shitty wtf even is this episodes. | Apr 16 08:10 |
| IsambardPrince | Most of them were in the first couple of seasons. | Apr 16 08:10 |
| IsambardPrince | If Gene Roddenberry hadn't died the series would have probably been canceled shortyl after Season 2. | Apr 16 08:11 |
| IsambardPrince | He was in such bad shape he had his idiot lawyer making script changes which were just awful. | Apr 16 08:11 |
| IsambardPrince | The Writers Guild went on strike and that was the only episode that was worse than Roddenbery's stuff in the first two seasons. They needed filler so Riker got poisoned by tripping over something and getting a barb in his leg. | Apr 16 08:13 |
| IsambardPrince | The rest ended up being a clip show while he was in the infirmary. | Apr 16 08:13 |
| IsambardPrince | That episode should have just been dropped from the Blu Ray release. It's a waste of space. | Apr 16 08:14 |
| IsambardPrince | Even before I knew that episode was because of the WGA strike I said "WTF happened that they did this?" and actually stopped and googled the name of the episode. | Apr 16 08:15 |
| IsambardPrince | It was that bad. | Apr 16 08:15 |
| IsambardPrince | What's kind of hilarious is that I'm armed well enough to take on all of the bandits in this movie, easily, by myself. | Apr 16 08:17 |
| IsambardPrince | But they're all terrified of them. | Apr 16 08:17 |
| IsambardPrince | That's what happens when you bring a sword to a bullpup rifle fight. | Apr 16 08:19 |
