00:00 t0talist; that's a decent intermediate compromise, and it's not the worst
00:01 t0talist; the vendor-specific clusterfuck down in the realm of assembly language, that's a whole other debate
00:05 t0talist; and oasis too works towards compiler alternative, they chose cproc/qbe, wherever that was possible
00:06 t0talist; i am slightly ahead with some other tasks: full removal of c++ dependencies, full removal of binutils/gcc (except for kernel and musl-libc which still need it)
00:07 t0talist; oasis-linux is ahead with their system-integration, the lua-scripting they chose; on my build-host, i am still locked into python/gentoo
00:07 t0talist; which is on the hitlist for final removal, once the kernel and musl-libc problems are solved, with tcc-toolchain
00:09 t0talist; in fact, i don't see a hard-blocker currently, if i will compromise on binutils-AS
00:10 t0talist; i too removed libtool already and all dependencies
00:10 t0talist; there work remaining still, to wipe ncurses, and wiping libressl/openssl
00:10 t0talist; *is
00:11 t0talist; i got bearssl inside some crucial components already: such as my irc client
00:13 t0talist; cross-compilation setups, is another hindrance; ideally i can avoid varios GCC cross-compilers soon, and use tcc-cross-compilers only
00:16 t0talist; anyway, that's why my patch to remove C11 clutter from linux-5.10 was that important, because otherwise i couldn't have used gcc47 or tcc-toolchain with it
00:17 t0talist; and i will be more strict with acceptance criteria than oasis-linux is, in particular no-c++
00:17 DaemonFC; I hate glasses.

02:47 schestowitz[TR]; you'll be OK
02:48 schestowitz[TR]; anyway, the clean home will last till xmas at least
02:48 schestowitz[TR]; november
02:48 schestowitz[TR]; try to pay ahead another 12 months
02:48 schestowitz[TR]; gives you ample time to focus on what matters right now
02:48 DaemonFC; Yeah, I emailed the landlord about starting the lease over before he sells it.
02:48 DaemonFC; It's not like I expect he will.
02:48 schestowitz[TR]; in case mandy or you start a new job, you can plan relocation in 2024
02:48 DaemonFC; But it's not going to happen if I don't ask.
02:49 DaemonFC; Plus, the deal could fall through.
02:49 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: some people have no place to stay
02:49 schestowitz[TR]; or live with parents
02:49 DaemonFC; They made the offer before all these banks started to collapse.
02:49 schestowitz[TR]; compatibly you do ok
02:49 schestowitz[TR]; some people are in prison
02:49 DaemonFC; Who knows if they can even get financing easily right now.
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!"
02:51 schestowitz[TR]; it started friday 10 days ago
02:51 schestowitz[TR]; then he sends SMS
02:51 schestowitz[TR]; got 4 days
02:52 DaemonFC; No, left paper taped to the doors.
02:52 DaemonFC; Saying inspections on Friday.
02:53 DaemonFC; I'm sure that they were probably less impressed once they saw all the dents and dings.
02:53 DaemonFC; This place hasn't been modernized.

02:53 DaemonFC; It has water damaged fixtures from the 70s.
02:53 DaemonFC; I mean, our apartment probably isn't even the worst.
02:53 DaemonFC; They're going to need to replace the entire laundry room.
02:54 DaemonFC; I mean, if they buy this place for $2.375 million, they'll be sorry.

02:54 DaemonFC; I wouldn't touch this place unless he came down to about $1.8 million myself.
02:54 DaemonFC; You're going to need money to fix and modernize it.
02:54 TR News; Should people work to live or live to work. If you work for someone else and consider this the purpose of life, then you're lifeless. "kill yourself" -Bill Hicks
02:54 DaemonFC; And you have to consider how long until you reach break even, even if you don't plan to spend a lot fixing things.
02:55 schestowitz[TR]; yes, compliance and all
02:55 DaemonFC; If he came down to $1.8 you'd have a healthy budget to fix things. A realistic one. Materials, labor, building permits.
02:55 schestowitz[TR]; there are things they MUST fix
02:55 schestowitz[TR]; for compliance purposes
02:55 schestowitz[TR]; to rent out
02:55 schestowitz[TR]; and sometimes there is another issue
02:55 schestowitz[TR]; spoke about it on the way back home yesterday
02:56 schestowitz[TR]; and they started boarding up some Council Houses
02:56 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I don't know that this deal is going to go through.
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.
02:57 DaemonFC; Find cheaper landlords.
02:57 schestowitz[TR]; and over time the real cost will grow to 4 million
02:57 schestowitz[TR]; at least your unit is neat and tidy now
02:57 schestowitz[TR]; and the cats know it
02:58 schestowitz[TR]; also, if other tenants leave
02:58 DaemonFC; I mean, when John and I moved to Chicago, on the South Side, we moved to this cool old building.
02:58 schestowitz[TR]; and you extend your contract
02:58 schestowitz[TR]; it means fewer neighbours
02:58 DaemonFC; It was built for the World Expo back in the day.
02:58 schestowitz[TR]; less of them means more calm
02:58 DaemonFC; Like, when they wanted to promote Chicago as the first major city with electric and stuff.
02:58 DaemonFC; And they built it VERY well.
02:58 schestowitz[TR]; some of chicagho is still that
02:58 schestowitz[TR]; some
02:58 schestowitz[TR]; parts of it
02:59 DaemonFC; And despite 50-60 years of utter neglect, it still almost all worked.
02:59 DaemonFC; Needed fixing.
02:59 schestowitz[TR]; like some of manchester is now skyscrapers

03:00 DaemonFC; At a loss!
03:01 schestowitz[TR]; yeah
03:01 schestowitz[TR]; well, i told you
03:01 schestowitz[TR]; renting is no luxury business now
03:01 schestowitz[TR]; you must chase tenants for paayments
03:01 schestowitz[TR]; and compromise
03:01 schestowitz[TR]; or risk vacant units
03:01 DaemonFC; No it's not. These are NOT luxury apartments and Waukegan is NOT on the way up.
03:01 schestowitz[TR]; and it's not a good time to sell
03:01 schestowitz[TR]; not many buy
03:01 schestowitz[TR]; and price fell a lot so far this year
03:01 DaemonFC; These are people with 10 notices to appear in court that they're dodging, and selling drugs.
03:02 DaemonFC; There's like three decent people who live here and we're all on the same side of the building and across from each other.
03:02 schestowitz[TR]; "offer" and "expected offer" prices are beyond what people would pay for
03:02 DaemonFC; So nothing too bad usually happens down here.

03:09 DaemonFC; If anything does happen where we have to move I'm sure I'm the best positioned here to do it.
03:09 DaemonFC; A lot of these people are paycheck to paycheck.

03:10 schestowitz[TR]; for many people i know kids currently turn out to be "bad investment"
03:10 schestowitz[TR]; but they don't use such terms
03:11 schestowitz[TR]; the kids cost 900 a month per child for childcard
03:11 schestowitz[TR]; some moms earn that much
03:11 schestowitz[TR]; so they go to work just to cover the kid being looked after while they work

03:16 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: i have a friend who lost everything
03:16 schestowitz[TR]; and cannot even look after his own kid anymore
03:17 DaemonFC; Yeah, you have kids now and then shit happens later and you can't afford them.
03:18 DaemonFC; I was looking around at apartments that allow CATS.
03:18 DaemonFC; A lot of them want $40 a month now per cat on top of your rent.
03:19 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I told mom I'll keep my cats, but if anything happens to them then I'm not getting more.
03:19 schestowitz[TR]; don't check just yet
03:19 schestowitz[TR]; you might be fine where you are
03:19 DaemonFC; It's just getting too much, you know?
03:19 DaemonFC; Oh not every landlord is some salty bastard like that.
03:19 schestowitz[TR]; it might not even solld
03:19 DaemonFC; Most of them aren't.
03:19 schestowitz[TR]; why? here is why

03:20 schestowitz[TR]; why visir all the units?
03:20 schestowitz[TR]; AFTER buying?
03:20 DaemonFC; That's true.
03:20 DaemonFC; You never buy something sight unseen.
03:20 DaemonFC; That's why it's a contingent offer.
03:20 DaemonFC; They signed a tentative agreement to pay a certain amount based on some "assurances".
03:21 DaemonFC; But if they don't like what they see they can find excuses to just walk away.
03:21 DaemonFC; And then nothing changes, for now.
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; <DaemonFC> That's why it's a contingent offer.
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; why he messaged everyone
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; in a panic
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; to clean
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; and gave them FOUR days
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; skips/bins piling up
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; he wanted to secure a sale
03:21 DaemonFC; So we'd all get everything looking good for HIS showings.
03:21 DaemonFC; Yes, that's what I figured.
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; yeah
03:21 schestowitz[TR]; but
03:22 schestowitz[TR]; at least you will enjoy it being cleann
03:22 schestowitz[TR]; hopefully the buyers hated what they saw
03:22 schestowitz[TR]; in general
03:22 schestowitz[TR]; noit your uni but others'
03:22 DaemonFC; He picked up the trash twice out of the usual schedule so he knew what was going to happen.
03:22 schestowitz[TR]; "dude, we ain't paying THAT
03:22 DaemonFC; LOL
03:22 schestowitz[TR]; "deal is off"
03:22 schestowitz[TR]; "offer withdrawn. goitta run, banks failing lols"
03:23 schestowitz[TR]; now, nobody sane would offer 2.4 million for the same
03:23 schestowitz[TR]; he might remove the listing
03:23 DaemonFC; Well, I mean, some people just aren't going to try to fix their trashed apartment.
03:23 schestowitz[TR]; the economics changed
03:23 DaemonFC; Because they're in there strung out on drugs hiding from the court.
03:23 DaemonFC; You know?
03:23 schestowitz[TR]; yeah, i was thinking the same
03:23 schestowitz[TR]; and they are not a gay couple
03:23 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], If he can't get at least a certain amount he might as well just give up trying to sell it and keep taking the rent.
03:24 schestowitz[TR]; they are smelly
03:24 schestowitz[TR]; and they are stuck in a mess
03:24 schestowitz[TR]; with ugly belongings
03:24 DaemonFC; Oh yeah, always something foul coming down from their unit.
03:24 schestowitz[TR]; and the people visited before you were like far far
03:24 DaemonFC; I took the duct tape off my vent.
03:24 schestowitz[TR]; so he and his paretner count how many are "trash"
03:24 DaemonFC; I figured if they were going through my bathroom, let them smell the cigar smoke coming through the vent from some other unit.
03:24 schestowitz[TR]; trashed units and trash tenants
03:25 schestowitz[TR]; maybe the bank collapses even saved you from moving
03:25 schestowitz[TR]; as it won't sell
03:25 schestowitz[TR]; the landlord won't reply to you soon
03:25 schestowitz[TR]; until the offer oficially falls through
03:25 schestowitz[TR]; then he'll saw, sure yes!
03:25 schestowitz[TR]; "I'kll take another 12 months' money"
03:25 DaemonFC; Yeah, probably.
03:26 schestowitz[TR]; sorry, for all those tyopos, multitasking
03:26 schestowitz[TR]; i realise I really dislike emaqil
03:26 schestowitz[TR]; even just opening an email client grosses me out
03:26 schestowitz[TR]; but I have to do it every now and then
03:26 schestowitz[TR]; then close the darn thing and get back to useful things
03:30 DaemonFC; Well, it's like you said.
03:31 DaemonFC; Wait until they find out about all of the mold, the mildew, the shitty pipes, the stuck windows, the broken air conditioners, the fixtures that are rotten and broken and needed to come out 20 years ago.
03:31 DaemonFC; God only knows what else.
03:31 DaemonFC; I mean there's a reason he wants to sell this one and keep his others.
03:31 DaemonFC; I call this place mold and mildew central.
03:32 DaemonFC; I run a dehumidifier and it fills up a 2.5 gallon bucket almost every day.
03:32 schestowitz[TR]; my uncle just died :/
03:32 schestowitz[TR]; on his niece's birthday
03:32 schestowitz[TR]; (my mom)
03:32 DaemonFC; If you turn it off, the humidity goes from 35% back up into the 50s in a couple of hours, then into the 70s a few hours later, then the 80s sometimes and the wall sweat.
03:32 DaemonFC; Ah, I'm sorry to hear that.
03:32 schestowitz[TR]; born 1925
03:33 DaemonFC; My grandfather was born in 1925. Died 1998.
03:33 DaemonFC; Cancer.
03:34 schestowitz[TR]; "So sad
03:34 schestowitz[TR]; I guess you did not manage to talk to him one last time?"
03:34 schestowitz[TR]; my mom tried to reach him
03:34 schestowitz[TR]; he was already on morphine
03:35 schestowitz[TR]; he could leave longer
03:35 schestowitz[TR]; but refuse to be treated anymore
03:35 schestowitz[TR]; he had had enough
03:35 schestowitz[TR]; *live longer
03:35 schestowitz[TR]; all his friiiend had died already
03:36 schestowitz[TR]; and he was losing some senses like hearing and sight
03:36 DaemonFC; Yeah. At some point it doesn't make sense to go on I guess.
03:36 DaemonFC; If this is how life is at 39 (almost) I wonder how being 80 or 90 would be. Not fun.
03:36 schestowitz[TR]; last of his generation/tier
03:37 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: that depends really
03:37 schestowitz[TR]; if you still function ok
03:37 schestowitz[TR]; like an old car, things break down
03:37 schestowitz[TR]; and you need to do lots of expensive "repaits"
03:37 schestowitz[TR]; *repairs"
03:37 schestowitz[TR]; at some stage you go, fuck it, i'm not gonna bother"
03:38 schestowitz[TR]; he's in the US also
03:38 schestowitz[TR]; so it's expensive
03:38 DaemonFC; Yeah, these new owners probably either have no idea what they're in for with this place or they'll walk away.
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!".
03:46 schestowitz[TR]; if he does not reply to you
03:47 DaemonFC; If you put major repairs into it, it sets you back further from making a decent profit.
03:47 DaemonFC; So you throw down some of the cheapest carpet and paint between tenants, never fix anything right, and the whole building spends another year getting worse.
03:47 DaemonFC; It was probably in better shape when he got it in 2008.
03:48 DaemonFC; A series of landlords running it into the ground, and now he wants all this money.
03:49 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], There's nicer buildings than this one going for about $1.5 million in Chicago.
03:49 DaemonFC; I can't imagine how you'd get to $2.375 million here.
03:49 DaemonFC; Thing is...
03:50 schestowitz[TR]; yeah
03:50 schestowitz[TR]; chill
03:50 schestowitz[TR]; make tea
03:50 schestowitz[TR]; biab
03:50 DaemonFC; Even if there are only 12 units in the buildings in Chicago, the landlords have to face SERIOUS code inspections.
03:50 schestowitz[TR]; am multiitasking atm
03:50 schestowitz[TR]; might be slow to reply
03:50 DaemonFC; So they don't just hand them off down the line letting them rot, usually.
03:50 schestowitz[TR]; you have a cleaner apartment now
03:50 DaemonFC; Oh that's another thing!
03:50 DaemonFC; I heard one of them ask "You say this place was built in 71?"
03:50 schestowitz[TR]; banks collapsed won't kill walmart
03:51 DaemonFC; And he goes "Yeah yeah."
03:51 schestowitz[TR]; people still need food
03:51 schestowitz[TR]; old buildings can be ok
03:51 schestowitz[TR]; depending on materials used
03:51 schestowitz[TR]; and the methods
03:51 schestowitz[TR]; some "modern" methods are just cost-cutting
03:51 schestowitz[TR]; at the expense of durabvility
03:51 schestowitz[TR]; like "modern" cars
03:51 DaemonFC; They didn't really build this one to the highest standards of 1971. It was a working class building then.
03:51 schestowitz[TR]; tesla cars with doors and wheels likterally falling off
03:52 DaemonFC; Real basic stuff, you know.
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; never mind the "Smart" aspect
03:52 schestowitz[TR]; an even bigger can of worms
03:52 DaemonFC; Oh yeah, the Smart stuff usually stops working after a few years.
03:53 schestowitz[TR]; yeah
03:53 schestowitz[TR]; no replacemement even feasible
03:53 schestowitz[TR]; due to complexity
03:53 schestowitz[TR]; in manufacuring
03:53 schestowitz[TR]; and that's even before us going rambo on china
03:53 schestowitz[TR]; its producers
03:53 schestowitz[TR]; bans, sanctions,. tarrifs
03:54 DaemonFC; The Buick doesn't have smart stuff.
03:54 schestowitz[TR]; "car panel" (smart), made in Waukegan by drug addicts
03:54 DaemonFC; It has Bluetooth after my stereo shorted out and I had to replace it anyway.
03:54 schestowitz[TR]; use a laptop
03:54 DaemonFC; The Sony deck is nicer than the factory stereo.
03:54 schestowitz[TR]; and headphones jack
03:54 schestowitz[TR]; used laptop $100
03:54 schestowitz[TR]; some old cars have universal charge
03:54 DaemonFC; Thankfully the controls for the car's computer interface aren't in the radio in this one like they were in the 2003 Impala.
03:54 DaemonFC; So a radio is a radio.
03:54 schestowitz[TR]; you can use an adapter tyo keep the laptop running off ot the car battery
03:54 schestowitz[TR]; i.e. the fossil fuels
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; laptosp have better interfaces
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; throw plasma5 on it
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; better than those "smart" cars
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; costs $100
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; comes with mouse, keyboard
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; so you can search for songs on a real keyboard
03:55 schestowitz[TR]; i did this in the 1990s
03:56 schestowitz[TR]; laptop + hyundi car speakers
03:56 schestowitz[TR]; windows down

04:16 schestowitz[TR]; this is 2023
04:16 schestowitz[TR]; not 2008
04:16 schestowitz[TR]; the media has been defanged since

04:20 DaemonFC; Every time they steal American pensions, they keep them and laugh about it, and that goes triple if they're a "religion".
04:21 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], My mom's pension was supposed to keep growing until she was 67.5 and then they changed it to 64, so that's a cut.
04:21 DaemonFC; So I told her if you have to be 65 to take it, go to part-time at 65 and take it right away.
04:21 DaemonFC; It's not gonna grow anymore and leaving it means you never get that month's check.
04:33 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], There may have been some other things in my apartment that caught their eye.
04:33 DaemonFC; Like that patch on the bathroom ceiling where I had to scrub so hard to fight back the black mold that the paint came off.
04:33 DaemonFC; I don't think this is going to go the way he wants it to.
04:34 DaemonFC; Either he'll take less or they'll walk away.
04:34 DaemonFC; I don't think he had it appraised. I think he just put it up with a price on it.
04:39 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], The interest rate that these buyers could get today would add over a third to the monthly mortgage payment vs. if he had sold last year.
04:39 DaemonFC; Those Fed hikes may have scuttled this deal.

05:03 DaemonFC; "The landlord doesn't owe you anything." I said, "Well there should be a law that says they have to inform people when a building is for sale that they live in."
05:03 DaemonFC; She accused me of wanting the "government to take care of you".
05:03 DaemonFC; She wants us to go spend several hundred dollars to join her at some hotel out of state this summer.

05:21 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I'm going to laugh if the Fed Funds rate would put the buyers so far under water with this place that they bail and he gives up selling it until rates come down.
05:21 DaemonFC; Jay Powell is discouraging people from buying my apartment.
05:21 schestowitz[TR]; ah
05:21 schestowitz[TR]; well, not really
05:21 DaemonFC; It's nice to know the Federal Reserve is helping me for once.
05:22 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], How so? Investors who know anything about real estate know there will be another building but if they buy this while rates are high they may not be able to easily refi later.
05:22 DaemonFC; And they might be stuck with this.
05:22 DaemonFC; It's certainly a big factor unless these people are amateurs.
05:23 DaemonFC; Then again, maybe they have $2.375 million laying around in cash?
05:23 DaemonFC; Not many do, but I guess some do.
05:27 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: nor progressing this isn't in the interest of Standard Life as it may culminate in a lawsuit soon (colleagues speaking about it already).
05:28 DaemonFC; Yeah, I guess me griping about my landlord is small compared to this.

05:39 schestowitz[TR]; right now people already lack confidence in financial institutions, even the Swiss ones
05:40 schestowitz[TR]; What remains unknown is, based on the processes and protocols, is whether Standard Life can be held legally accountable for effectively facilitating the company's fraud by issuing official paperwork that serves to legitimate if not validate what was going on for over 5 years. They need to keep checks and balances in case of such embezzlement, which in this case impacts a lot opf people for a very long time (in secret). We were mean
05:40 schestowitz[TR]; t to assume that the pension provider's credibility was on the line, so when Sirius refused to respond to queries about the plan we thought, "OK, well, Standard Life would not allow this to be rogue, would it?"

06:51 DaemonFC; I mean, I don't know what Joy's thing was with me.
06:52 DaemonFC; If that was some sort of power trip or something. Or if she just liked walking in and seeing me naked.

10:37 Sompi; I got a "newish" laptop, Acer Aspire E15. 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?
10:47 Sompi; If they are sold as general-purpose computers and the buyer cannot know about these limitations
10:48 Sompi; I thought that this boot locking with x86 computers is a rare thing, but seems that actually almost all new computers are like this
10:49 psydroid2; the x86 PC industry has gone rogue on its own clients
10:49 psydroid2; hence why I'm pretty much done with it
10:50 psydroid2; I still use what I have but I must have a very good (legacy) reason to buy more of that hardware
10:51 Sompi; But most ARM machines are also locked, and everything else than x86 and ARM is very rare
10:51 techuser; Smartphones are also "general purpose".
10:52 techuser; It is stupid to think that PCs are truly different, permanently.,
10:52 techuser; *permanently.
10:52 Sompi; It cannot be a general purpose computer if it is physically limited to run only one program
10:52 Sompi; You don't call game consoles general purpose computers either
10:52 techuser; "You install other programs from our app store"
10:53 techuser; "This way it is more secure because we only provide trustworthy software"
10:53 Sompi; It isn't general purpose
10:54 techuser; Anyway, corporations have enough money to pay all the fines, if any.
10:54 Sompi; And you cannot install a different operating system from Microsoft Store
10:54 techuser; People at courts are also likely brainwashed.
10:55 Sompi; Has anyone done a list of boot-locked computers that are being sold to customers?
10:55 techuser; I think eventually there are going to be more.
10:57 Sompi; Maybe techrights wiki should havea page about those
10:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
10:59 Sompi; That Acer is 100% locked. 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
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. And there IS a valid boot sector that should work

11:20 psydroid2; Which Acer?
11:20 psydroid2; I dont think I have seen an Acer machine in a decade or so
11:21 Sompi; Aspire E15
11:23 Sompi; Earlier in this channel here was discussion about some UEFI-compatible Lenovo laptops that refuse to boot from a PC-compatible boot sector if there isn't a MSDOS-type partitioning table. 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

21:03 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I figure this market sucks and the landlord is having trouble even getting people to pay their rent. "Positive Vibes" from CNN aren't fixing his problems.
21:03 DaemonFC; The problem is selling a Lada without air conditioning to some idiots.
21:04 DaemonFC; For every one of us, he probably has 2-3 people dealing drugs, trashing the place, and ducking him when he wants his rent.
21:04 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights
21:04 DaemonFC; The fact that he hasn't gone to eviction court against anyone since November 2019 probably signals that he's getting jammed up by (1) the backlog and (2) the forced mediation process that forces him to look at all the options to avoid evicting people.
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; March 20, 2023 4:59 pm ET
21:52 DaemonFC; DUBAIRiding an oil-price boom last year, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman directed government-backed Saudi National Bank to make a $1.5 billion investment in Credit Suisse CS -52.99% Group AG that his financial advisers harbored doubts about, according to people familiar with the matter.
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."
21:52 DaemonFC; :)
21:53 DaemonFC; "The investment made Saudi National Bank the biggest shareholder in Credit Suisse, with just less than 10% ownership."
