00:29 DaemonFC; Avoid the rate hike, still not committing a crime because it's "insurance".

03:07 DaemonFC; You'd think the bridge disaster last week would up that a bit. Just shows you how much shit there is in the pipe.
03:07 XRevan86; DaemonFC: The British intelligence estimated, yes.
03:08 DaemonFC; Well, the Russians are evacuating from most of the cities they failed to occupy to try to shore up whatever they think is salvageable.

03:15 DaemonFC; They keep offering her something else instead. Full credit. She says "No, fix this!" and they do something to it and hand it back and it still doesn't work.

03:19 XRevan86; Russia does advance in a few directions still, but at an incredibly slow pace, and suffering from the Ukrainian counter-offensive on others. It is safe to say even advancement is a loss as well, as Ukraine is going to push back there eventually, too. With better weapons and such.
03:19 XRevan86; It's only a matter of time.
03:23 XRevan86; The already occupied territories like Melitopol, Kherson, Mariupol are a question mark currently, but we'll see if Russia can hold onto it, and at what further cost.

13:59 psydroid2; I hope they keep mocking countries for a long time to come
13:59 psydroid2; and in the meantime I'll be buying products from those same countries
14:00 psydroid2; I got UT2004 working with native Linux binaries after installing the GOG version on Wine
14:01 bnchs; psydroid2, nice
14:01 psydroid2; now I'm interested in finding out how to reverse engineer things in a legal way, for example by recording all function calls and syscalls
14:02 psydroid2; strace creates very long logs, so maybe valgrind?
14:02 psydroid2; os is there some other way to find out what is happening?
14:02 bnchs; psydroid2, "recording all function calls and syscalls"
14:03 bnchs; that only works IF you have the debug symbols
14:03 bnchs; if you don't, then you're gonna have to rely on disassembly
14:03 psydroid2; decompilers aren't legal either, are they?
14:03 psydroid2; as far as clean-room reverse engineering is concerned
14:05 bnchs; well no
14:06 bnchs; psydroid2, here's a plan
14:06 bnchs; 1. the reverse engineer, he will reverse engineer (disassemble, etc.) the program
14:06 bnchs; and write documentation on how each of the functions works
14:07 bnchs; 2. the lawyer, who checks the documentation if they violate any IP
14:07 bnchs; 3. the programmer, who reimplements the functions based on the documentation
14:07 psydroid2; I wonder if anyone is willing to do the reverse engineering
14:08 psydroid2; who has done that before and isn't planning to get involved with free software games
14:08 psydroid2; or is involvement with reverse engineering specific to each game?
14:08 bnchs; this is how clean-room reverse engineering is done i think
14:08 psydroid2; yes, I know
14:08 bnchs; psydroid2, you also need to MAKE SURE that the programmer has NEVER seen any of the code of the game
14:08 bnchs; like source code leaks or some bullshit
14:08 psydroid2; I have never looked at proprietary code
14:08 bnchs; it will ruin your project
14:12 psydroid2; I wonder if there is anyone who is interested in 1
14:12 psydroid2; and good luck finding a lawyer for 2
14:12 psydroid2; I wouldn't mind doing all the work for 3, but that is kind of a moot point
14:13 bnchs; well i don't know
14:13 bnchs; you can do it without a lawyer
14:13 bnchs; but it would probably be unsafe
14:15 psydroid2; the only thing is that I want to get this game and possibly other ones in source code form so it can work on ARM/RISC-V/Loongarch etc. SBCs
14:16 psydroid2; and Intel, AMD, IBM and Microsoft can go screw themselves

17:52 DaemonFC; Okay, so it looks like Gilette5 is just some sort of downmarket razor they made purely to compete with Harry's and Dollar Shave Club.
17:52 DaemonFC; People on Amazon are saying they shave alright for a few and then go dull. So that's just money down the toilet.
17:53 DaemonFC; Seems like Gillette just isn't willing to compete with themselves downmarket.
17:53 DaemonFC; So these 3 and 5 things that don't say Mach or Fusion are "Oh, you want a cheap shitty razor that binds up and cuts you? FINE! HERE! But you won't like it. Just remember the handle works with the Mach 3 or Fusion 5 when you get sick of this.".
17:55 DaemonFC; There's a huge quality difference between Gillette razors, even the ones that say Mach or Fusion, depending on where they make them. They make Mach 3 cartridges for the South American market in Brazil, and people tried to get cheap and just import those, and there's a lot of complaints about quality. Apparently, the only good ones are made in the USA or Germany.
17:55 MinceR; i realized i can't be bothered to wet shave often enough to avoid stubble and just trim to stubble with a beard trimmer instead
17:55 MinceR; a lot less work :>
17:55 chicksahoy; DaemonFC: have you ever tried a safety razor? the blades are dirt cheap. Even if I replaced a blade every week (which I don't), they would last two years for $20
17:56 DaemonFC; Hmmm. Nope. I just bought like, a handle and 16 Mach 3 caertridges from Walmart.
17:56 chicksahoy; safety razors get a closer shave too
17:56 DaemonFC; I did Razor Math and figured I could.....cut(?) the price the most by getting them from Walmart and using my associate discount and 5% cashback credit card.
17:58 DaemonFC; From what people are saying, the Mach 3 heads for the reusable system are the exact same heads as the disposables. They just give you a discount vs. full price for not buying them on disposable handles.
17:59 *bnchs (~bnchs@n35c8dvfcxcng.irc) has joined #techrights
18:01 DaemonFC; I did the math and with my discounts, it works out (for me) to $1.65 per cartridge with the reusable system in the 15 ct refill pack from Walmart vs. $1.92 as a disposable razor.
18:02 DaemonFC; So you end up saving 27 cents per head. Now, Gillette claims you get "15 comfortable shaves" per head, so assuming you do change them out twice a month, you save 54 cents plus tax per month buying them as part of the reusable system.
18:02 DaemonFC; So you do get some savings.
18:03 DaemonFC; But what makes it even murkier is that if you can get ahold of some newspaper coupons, sometimes you get $3 or $5 off coupons for the disposables, but they don't do coupons on the refills.
18:03 chicksahoy; safety razor blades are still cheaper
18:03 chicksahoy; 100 blades for $11.39

18:03 DaemonFC; So if you're willing to seek out newspaper coupons, the disposables can work out to cost about the same in the end. Maybe even a little less.
18:03 DaemonFC; But it's a question of what your time and effort are worth.
18:04 DaemonFC; With refills, you just buy them and you're done.
18:04 chicksahoy; thats 0.1139 per blade
18:07 DaemonFC; I haven't seen any significant Gillette coupons roll past me in a while now unless it's on their highest margin razors.
18:07 DaemonFC; They put some on iBotta, but it's off a starter kit for a system where they want $6.49 per refill after you buy it.
18:07 DaemonFC; Which is insane.
18:08 DaemonFC; Let's say these GilletteLabs razors are REALLY good, twice as good as the Mach 3. So good they last twice as long.
18:09 DaemonFC; You'd still pay about twice as much per month to use them.
18:09 DaemonFC; chicksahoy, Yeah, Gillette is an evil evil company.
18:10 DaemonFC; Apparently, there was a guy who went to prison over the Mach 3 razor.

18:10 DaemonFC; In 1998, Gillette had apparently invested over $750 million designing the Mach 3, don't ask me how. They also budgeted $300 million for marketing for the first few years after they released it.
18:11 DaemonFC; They put up plywood walls around their manufacturing line so that many of their own employees were unaware of what they were doing, and made the ones who were authorized to know about the Mach 3 sign Non-Disclosure Agreements.
18:12 DaemonFC; Well, a subcontractor working for the company who actually designed the Mach 3 sold the specifications to competing razor companies. I don't think they ever managed to clone the Mach 3, because the companies that bought the information about it produced/produce razors that cut the hell out of your face instead.

18:13 DaemonFC; The competition wanted to "undercut" Gillette, and they did. Oh, they all released these really shitty triple blade razors that didn't work right.
18:14 DaemonFC; My guess is maybe Gillette also had patents on it and they didn't want to be sued for infringement?
18:14 DaemonFC; So 1998 was when the "blade count wars" started.
18:15 chicksahoy; I just use a safety razor, the blades are even cheaper than what you're getting
18:15 DaemonFC; And at the time there was a parody of Gillette's Mach 3 razor where in the parody ad, there was a 6 blade razor. And now Gillette actually makes one of those.
18:16 DaemonFC; It gets pretty ridiculous after 3.
18:16 TM; use philishaveTM
18:16 DaemonFC; Well, the whole sales pitch of the Mach 3 was "you take one stroke, it takes three".
18:16 chicksahoy; you don't need more than 1 blade tbh
18:17 DaemonFC; So the angle was that with a single blade razor, sometimes it would actually miss hairs or fail to trim some of them.
18:17 DaemonFC; And I've had problems with that.
18:17 chicksahoy; thats not a problem with safety razors
18:17 DaemonFC; You can actually fix that with a double bladed razor, but the Mach 3 isn't much more than those and always seems to get the stragglers.
18:17 DaemonFC; So I've never really understood what kind of a problem the Fusion 5 was supposed to solve.
18:18 chicksahoy; i get a much closer shave with a safety razor, much closer than 3 or 5 blade gillette nonsense

18:24 chicksahoy; and just regular soap with my body
18:25 DaemonFC; And it's just liquid hand soap from the refill size with aloe vera.
18:25 DaemonFC; There's just too many gimmicks in the consumer packaged goods industry.

18:37 DaemonFC; And if you were wondering how the margins can be so low on consumables, one of the reasons is that this is the margin between what Walmart pays the supplier and sells the item for, but it does not account for the kickback money that the supplier pays them for purchasing the rights to use that part of the shelf.
18:37 DaemonFC; And I always thought it was insane that this is even legal.

18:38 chicksahoy; shit daemonfc says would be an instant hit
18:38 DaemonFC; Walmart defends the practice as forcing the supplier to optimize shelving arrangements and pay Walmart a risk premium in case a product doesn't sell very well.
18:38 chicksahoy; they would never run out of stuff for him to say
18:38 DaemonFC; Which might make sense for a new product that is being rolled out.
18:39 DaemonFC; But they also have to pay it for things that we know people will go out of their way to buy anyway, like original Tide laundry detergent.
18:39 DaemonFC; Or Valvoline motor oil.
18:39 chicksahoy; i like walmart's great value brand
18:39 DaemonFC; There's little risk to be had in stocking those because they've been around forever and people buy them.
18:40 DaemonFC; <chicksahoy> i like walmart's great value brand
18:40 DaemonFC; In many cases, it works out as well as the national brand, but not always.
18:40 chicksahoy; i love great value breaded chicken burgers, $5 a box
18:41 DaemonFC; I'd say 98% of the time it works out just as well or better.
18:41 DaemonFC; But 2% of the time it's fucking gross and that never goes on the list again.

18:42 DaemonFC; The CPG industry is tricky like that. Most of the time, the national brand is just paying more to fund their bloated ad campaigns and stuff.
18:42 DaemonFC; But like, Equate brand shaving razors? Disaster. Great Value's take on Miracle Whip? Gross.
18:43 chicksahoy; nothing can replace miracle whip
18:43 DaemonFC; The whole Generics and Store Brands market is still a pretty recent concept. They emerged during the hyperinflation and oil shocks back in the 1970s, but they didn't put any effort in them, so they were like, cheap and really bad.
18:43 chicksahoy; generics are good most of the time
18:43 DaemonFC; But then the stores all decided "Hey, we should put some effort into this because we can cut out the national brands entirely, offer customers a discount, and enjoy higher margins".
18:44 DaemonFC; So that's why there's not much difference in quality most of the time, today.
18:44 DaemonFC; But I almost suspect that Walmart's store brand shaving razors are part of a ploy by Gillette.
18:44 chicksahoy; lol
18:45 DaemonFC; It wouldn't surprise me at all if they worked out a deal with Walmart where Gillette knowingly produces bad razors so that people will try them and run screaming back to "Gillette".
18:46 DaemonFC; Well, I believe that Walmart's razors are made in Brazil, and Gillette does make some razors in Brazil, and I've never used a razor they made in Brazil and been happy with it.
18:46 DaemonFC; So they probably just package some of them and call it "Equate" and send them to Walmart while they're at it.
18:47 DaemonFC; I bought a system from Walmart that says "Compare to Gillette Fusion 5". Well, I did. And unless the Fusion 5 cuts up your face like shaving with a piece of broken glass, I don't care to compare the Walmart brand any further.
18:48 DaemonFC; Every time I tried a Walmart brand razor I threw the piece of fucking crap in the trash.
18:48 DaemonFC; Now they're back, again.

19:22 DaemonFC; I think the angle of his performance, the cornerstone, with that one is that greedy, selfish, dishonest people, will install greedy, selfish, dishonest politicians.
19:22 DaemonFC; The funny part is that then they complain that they're all a bunch of bums.
19:23 DaemonFC; The problem is people expecting politicians to solve every problem for them.
19:23 DaemonFC; It's working well so far. I'm sure we're just one election away from perfect.
19:24 DaemonFC; The problem is not people not knowing what they want. They know what they want.
19:24 DaemonFC; Every person wants more for themselves and less for everybody else.
19:24 DaemonFC; And the fact that this is impossible doesn't seem to bother them because they'll try anyway.
19:25 DaemonFC; If you're very lucky they'll just vote for politicians to steal from honest hardworking people, and that way at least it spreads the pain around and makes it all very official.
19:25 DaemonFC; And if you're unlucky, the stuff the state stole from you and handed to them for sitting on their ass won't be enough and they'll carjack you or rob you while you're at the ATM, at gunpoint.
19:26 DaemonFC; That's the problem. Even if the state is doing a good job feeding them, taking care of all of their healthcare needs, etc., it still expects them to go find SOME way of making SOME of their own money to get that, and it's easier to just carjack you and run it over to a chop shop.
19:27 DaemonFC; The only reason any of them get caught is they're on Facebook dancing around with wads of $100 bills and guns.
19:27 DaemonFC; Or they blow past a cop at 100 miles an hour in a stolen car.
19:28 DaemonFC; I saw an article on WGN last night, about two guys on the south side of Chicago that got busted for pimping and sex trafficking minors, and the news showed photos they made of themselves flashing wads of cash and guns on their Facebook walls.
