[02:49] schestowitz[TR] bank collapse means empty units [02:49] schestowitz[TR] they don't like them vacant [02:49] schestowitz[TR] will settle for less [02:50] DaemonFC Bob said if they want my unit immediately, they may even offer to buy out my lease. [02:50] schestowitz[TR] DaemonFC: yes, you don't even know if they signed anything [02:50] DaemonFC Which could mean more cash to move. [02:50] schestowitz[TR] the "inspection" happened AFTER the collapse [02:50] schestowitz[TR] maybe they look for excuses not to sneak out [02:50] schestowitz[TR] of a deal [02:50] schestowitz[TR] "too many A/Cs do not work!"

[02:56] schestowitz[TR] to replace or fix (with new) homes that are worth so little is a hard decision [02:56] DaemonFC There's a significant chance it won't, or that they'll demand concessions first. [02:56] schestowitz[TR] like brand new windows for a unit that's rotting since the 1970s [02:56] schestowitz[TR] or roof [02:56] schestowitz[TR] DaemonFC: they asked about A/C [02:57] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], Let's face it. The neighborhood sucks. They're not going to get away with luxury units. [02:57] schestowitz[TR] maybe they started to realise they bought a "property" like your buick [02:57] DaemonFC They raise rent without fixing it, people bolt.

[03:38] schestowitz[TR] the likes of MARISOL suck money out of people like him [03:38] DaemonFC You'd have to be incompetent to spend a lot on a building in a neighborhood with no prospect and a tenant base that isn't going to react well to rent hikes. [03:39] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], I did the math. [03:39] DaemonFC It would take them over 18-20 years to break even on this place if they bought it and collected market rent off of it. [03:40] schestowitz[TR] yeah [03:40] DaemonFC Over 20 if they set out to actually fix it to code. [03:40] schestowitz[TR] if the landlord does not reply, they are bailing out [03:40] schestowitz[TR] they just needed the pretext [03:40] schestowitz[TR] and he was desperately trying to do a nip-tuck job [03:40] schestowitz[TR] by alaerting tenants [03:40] schestowitz[TR] without scaring them away [03:40] schestowitz[TR] (i.e. without telling them what was happening) [03:40] DaemonFC You think alerting us to "inspections" to panic clean was a hail mary pass? [03:41] DaemonFC Lipstick on the pig. [03:41] schestowitz[TR] better than norhing [03:41] schestowitz[TR] given the garbage you saw in the skips outside [03:41] schestowitz[TR] now he can diumpster dive [03:41] schestowitz[TR] and assess how much of a mess his "property" was [03:41] DaemonFC So they had to walk it through to say that they had done their due diligence and they're leaving. [03:42] schestowitz[TR] yes, they can [03:42] schestowitz[TR] not sure us law [03:42] schestowitz[TR] in uk law, "house survey" [03:42] schestowitz[TR] you pay like 800 pounds [03:42] schestowitz[TR] they go thnrough everything (so they claim) [03:42] schestowitz[TR] if the assessment does not meet your expectations., you can cancel [03:42] DaemonFC I don't think this was even that. [03:42] schestowitz[TR] "they said the roof was about to fall" [03:42] DaemonFC I think these three guys were "the investors". [03:42] schestowitz[TR] and you cite a technical document [03:43] schestowitz[TR] he already got his price evalution [03:43] schestowitz[TR] in the web site [03:43] schestowitz[TR] they were not assessing th worth [03:43] schestowitz[TR] they were the potential buyers [03:43] schestowitz[TR] after baking collapse [03:43] schestowitz[TR] looking for reason, "deal is off!" [03:43] schestowitz[TR] he tried to sell it quietly and blindly [03:43] DaemonFC Complaining about air conditioner in my apartment. [03:44] schestowitz[TR] no assessment first [03:44] DaemonFC Probably more I didn't hear about in the others. [03:44] schestowitz[TR] missed the dwadline [03:44] schestowitz[TR] banks started collapsing [03:44] DaemonFC LOL [03:44] schestowitz[TR] could put it on sale in 2022 [03:44] DaemonFC He did. [03:44] DaemonFC He wanted $2.5 million in November. [03:44] schestowitz[TR] yes, they saw many bad A/Cs [03:44] DaemonFC Then in February he came down to $2.375 [03:44] schestowitz[TR] so they started seeing a pattern [03:44] schestowitz[TR] and took stock [03:44] schestowitz[TR] A/C is expensive to replace//repair [03:45] schestowitz[TR] not some carpet or table [03:45] DaemonFC Yeah, these units like this? Probably $1,000 or more to replace with ones that will hold up a while. [03:45] schestowitz[TR] yeah [03:45] DaemonFC You can't just run down to Walmart and get window units for this place. [03:45] schestowitz[TR] i reckon he'll keep and not sell [03:45] schestowitz[TR] or sell cheaply [03:45] schestowitz[TR] but not worth the sale [03:45] schestowitz[TR] compared to inflow of rents [03:45] schestowitz[TR] biab [03:46] schestowitz[TR] got a new article [03:46] DaemonFC You think he's stuck with the piggy for a while then? [03:46] schestowitz[TR] yeah [03:46] schestowitz[TR] seems so [03:46] DaemonFC Tell his buddies down at the bar, "Man I wish I hadn't bought that. I can't sell it and I don't want to spend half a million repairing it right!".

The SETUP program has two boot options, "UEFI" and "Legacy". When the "UEFI" option is selected, the secure boot functionality is forced on and there is no option to edit the keys. When the "Legacy" option is selected, it displays many warnings about how Microsoft recommends using UEFI to get the full Windows 8 functionality. And even in the "Legacy" mode it seem [10:37] Sompi s to be unable to actually boot from a USB stick that does have a valid boot sector in it [10:38] Sompi So it is 100% Windows-only, cannot boot anything else [10:42] MinceR good to know that acer is playing this shitty game too [10:42] MinceR not just hp [10:43] MinceR the "yeah, you can select 'legacy' but it isn't going to work anyway" game [10:43] MinceR then again, intHell killed off the CSM [10:43] *psydroid2 (~psydroid@cbcfptirpkfqa.irc) has joined #techrights [10:46] Sompi Is that even legal to manufacture computers like that?

[10:52] techuser It is stupid to think that PCs are truly different, permanently., [10:52] techuser *permanently.

With UEFI the secure boot is always on, and the user cannot change the keys. With the "legacy" option it just does not work, it does not even try booting from a boot sector on a USB stick. It just says "No bootable device" [10:59] Sompi It probably expects that the boot sector is completely or nearly similar to something that is distributed by Microsoft ● Mar 20 [11:00] Sompi (or just doesn't work at all) [11:02] Sompi The light on the USB stick blinks so it does read something from there, but it doesn't boot.

I'm actually interested to know how the BIOS knows that the partition table isn't there, because the partition table does not have any checksums or "magic numbers" that could be used to detect it [11:24] Sompi Basically there can be any random bytes at those offsets and it is always a "valid" MSDOS-style partition table [11:25] psydroid2 that's good to know, I'll avoid such machines even more now [11:26] Sompi And what have the programmers thought when they wrote the BIOS. There is literally nothing that the BIOS can do with the information from that partition table [11:30] Sompi In any case, if the computer works like that, there must se some very nonstandard code that could break at any moment, even with a Microsoft OS [11:31] schestowitz[TR] it does [11:31] schestowitz[TR] they like complexity [11:31] schestowitz[TR] like OOXML [11:32] TR News Best Steam Deck Games Released in the Past Week with Planet Cube: Edge 2023-03-19 Edition https://boilingsteam.com/best-steam-deck-games-2023-03-19-edition/ [11:32] TR Bot Best Steam Deck Games Released in the Past Week with Planet Cube: Edge - 2023-03-19 Edition - Boiling Steam [11:33] TR News Standard Life Has in Effect Legitimised Business Fraud https://schestowitz.com/Weblog/archives/2023/03/20/standard-life-and-fraud/ [11:33] TR Bot Blog Archive Standard Life Has in Effect Legitimised Business Fraud [11:35] TR News Egg freezing and storage remains shockingly analogand ripe for disruption https://qz.com/egg-freezing-and-storage-remains-shockingly-analog-and-1850051031 [11:35] TR Bot Egg freezing and storage gets an update at TMWR's cryobank [11:36] TR News Financial bubbles bursting?

[21:05] DaemonFC He was evicting about 3-5 people every year in the local court through the end of 2019, and so he was fairly litigious. Some of them owed him as little as $1,200. [21:06] DaemonFC Many landlords won't go to court over $1,000. They wait until someone has really stiffed them and fallen behind or done $5,000 or more in unpaid rent and/or damages. [21:07] DaemonFC This guy doesn't walk away from anything. He'll take you to court just to spite you and leave you with a record. [21:07] DaemonFC So the fact that it just STOPPED entirely in 2019 is odd. [21:08] DaemonFC The court notes show that some of the lawsuits stopped at the "refer to mediation" stage, so in other words they go off into a room and bicker for a few minutes and meet in the middle on something.

[21:52] DaemonFC Now, the Saudi investment is almost wiped out after Credit Suisses emergency merger with UBS Group AG. Credit Suisses meltdown also erased billions of dollars in investments made by Qatars sovereign fund and the Saudi-based Olayan family, making the Persian Gulf one of the biggest losers from a slide in financial stocks since the collapse of two U.S. banks last week. [21:52] DaemonFC The Saudi investment in Credit Suisse was meant to be the kingdoms splashy entrance into the global banking sector, cementing its emerging status as an oil-fueled investing powerhouse. The Saudis struck the deal when oil prices were just below $100 a barrel, as Russias invasion of Ukraine juiced energy markets. [21:52] DaemonFC The steep losses are a reminder of how Gulf states were burned investing in Western banks and hedge funds during the financial crisis in 2007 and 2008. The value of foreign assets in portfolios of the Gulf Cooperation Council states in 2008 fell by $100 billion to a total of $1.2 trillion, not counting the vast personal holdings of their ruling families, the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations reported in 2009."
