04:00 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Mom's one of those people that hits the snooze button on the IRS.
04:01 schestowitz[TR]; i hit the alarm snooze at 10pm
04:01 DaemonFC; On April 15th, she's normally on the phone with the tax lady that day requesting an extension through October.
04:01 schestowitz[TR]; went back to sleep

04:01 DaemonFC; Then sometimes she barely gets things filed.
04:01 schestowitz[TR]; us tax processes are notorious
04:01 DaemonFC; This year, she has a W-2 from her job, a 1099 from Social Security, and a pension tax form.

04:01 DaemonFC; <schestowitz[TR]> maybe designed to just mostly bring profits to intuit, and nothing else
04:02 schestowitz[TR]; and then worries about it
04:02 DaemonFC; It was a disaster before that.
04:02 schestowitz[TR]; maybe good for the accounting "sector';
04:02 DaemonFC; Lots of "tax accountants".
04:02 DaemonFC; There's a lot of "tax places" around here that pander to illegal immigrants and stuff.
04:02 DaemonFC; They'll "get you an ITIN".
04:02 DaemonFC; There's no telling how badly people that go there get screwed.
04:03 DaemonFC; Sometimes, the tax preparation people file a return with the IRS, and you get a refund of $3,000, so they take $2,000 from you, give you a fake 1040 to run off with as your copy, and that one says you only got $1,000.
04:04 DaemonFC; So I just do my taxes with TurboTax.
04:04 AdmFubar; the turbo tax tax
04:04 DaemonFC; It's basically that or going to some office temp that they kind of told how to get on a computer and use a tax wizard.
04:04 DaemonFC; And they might not even know how.
04:04 DaemonFC; You can hire anyone now. THey don't need to know anything about tax preparation.
04:05 DaemonFC; They call the store "H&R Block" but instead of an accountant, you get some person making $15 an hour to punch your tax documents into their Web site and e-file.
04:05 AdmFubar; dp gumby can do taxes
04:05 DaemonFC; And so you think it's an accountant but it was that or burger king.

04:06 DaemonFC; I had everything I needed to file today so it's filed with TurboTax and it'll get submitted sometime in the middle of the night Monday morning to the IRS.
04:07 DaemonFC; One reason is that the IRS will have our return with our real information on it and we'll get our refund, and then if any of Mandy's crooked family members get any bright ideas, all they get is the IRS on top of them investigating why MARISOL got on her iPhone and tried to file a fraudulent return.
04:08 DaemonFC; I never file tax returns using my phone. EVER.

07:48 DaemonFC; Sophos fired 450. Less need for antivirus. Less Windows users than ever.
07:48 DaemonFC; PornHub Insights for 2022 (year end), Windows remained stagnant at 64.7% of all desktop hits to their site, but the "Desktop" category fell by 6%.
07:48 DaemonFC; Windows is a desktop OS.
07:48 DaemonFC; The Mac went from 27.3 to 27.4% of Desktop.
07:48 DaemonFC; Linux, Chrome OS (also Linux), and Other remained flat.
07:48 DaemonFC; Linux on a PC doesn't require "licenses". Windows does, and with shrinking market, it dies as a money maker.
07:48 DaemonFC; Tablet fell by 34% and phone gained 1%.
07:48 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
07:48 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
07:48 DaemonFC; Since PC sales are in the dumps, (6% drop in hits to PornHub in 2022) and with them Windows license revenues drop even if it remains at 64.7% on the desktop, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that a lot of those 11,000 layoffs at Microsoft were in Windows.
07:49 DaemonFC; There's rumors of an even bigger layoff coming later in the year, and that will certainly get Windows people.
07:49 DaemonFC; The Internet Explorer-ing of Windows continues unabated.
07:52 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
07:52 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
07:52 DaemonFC; If I had to guess, people who were only marginally attached to the PC as a platform just didn't buy a new one when their old Windows 7 or 8 (even some 10s) system broke down and that's why "Desktop" fell 6% this year on PornHub hits.
07:52 DaemonFC; It's fairly obvious, looking at the data, that almost all of these users are buying Macs and iPhones.
07:52 DaemonFC; In many ways, those are as nasty as Windows, as Apple builds in Spyware too, but the "unexpected malware" like ransomware is certainly not as outrageous.

08:01 DaemonFC; Surprisingly, Firefox is back up at 5.18% on desktop compared with 3.9% in 2021.
08:01 DaemonFC; Despite Microsoft disabling all obvious ways to get at Internet Exploder, your dad still counts as 2% of desktop PornHub.

08:07 DaemonFC; 73.1% of game console traffic to Pornhub is now from Playstation users compared with only 25.5% for XBOX.

08:10 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
08:10 DaemonFC; So, if the usage stats from Pornhub Insights is true, this is the picture for Microsoft in the Consumer division.
08:11 DaemonFC; Desktop PC usage down 6%, and Windows is only 64.7% of that.
08:11 DaemonFC; XBOX fell to only 1/4 of the gaming console market, vs Playstation at nearly 3/4ths, by browser hits. (2021 was 60.6% Playstation and 36.8% XBOX)
08:11 DaemonFC; MS has no OS for Mobile, unless you count bribing / threatening Samsung to destroy their brand by preloading crapware that pissed everyone off, and Samsung is down by 25% YoY.
08:11 DaemonFC; Whoa, oops.
08:11 DaemonFC; Anyway, schestowitz[TR] Here's some stats for you to go over.
08:11 DaemonFC; Notice the last set.
08:11 DaemonFC; The big picture for Microsoft's consumer division.
08:11 DaemonFC; DEAD DEAD DEAD.
08:11 DaemonFC; XBOX is being murdered and the PC slump continues, and they've destroyed Samsung.
08:12 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], You figure they still have enough to run a welfare program for stabbers on the Debian Tech Committee for much longer?

08:17 DaemonFC; "Layoff Tracker" has curiously not reported on the 11,000 announced layoffs at Microsoft (first round this year).
08:17 DaemonFC; I wonder what the hold up is.
08:17 DaemonFC; January is ALREADY by far the worst month for layoffs since they began tracking them a year ago, and we still have over a third of the month yet and they haven't reported Microsoft.

08:58 DaemonFC; I declared the $5 from the Equifax Data Breach Settlement on Other Income on my tax return.

09:05 DaemonFC; A Class Action Settlement is income and goes on Line 8 of the 1040.
09:05 DaemonFC; This requires you to list the total amount during the tax year along with all Other Income on Line 8z of Schedule 1 "Additional Income and Adjustments to Income", to be totaled with Schedule 1 on Line 10 of Schedule 1, and then include a statement explaining to the IRS the source of each portion after stating "See Statement" on the blank line under 8z leading to "Additional Information From 2022 Federal Tax Return".

09:09 DaemonFC; The question about what the settlement was intended to replace is to gauge whether the damages were for physical injury, emotional distress, and pain and suffering, or not.
09:09 DaemonFC; If not, then taxable.
09:09 DaemonFC; You confuse settlements with rebates, like "if I use iBotta and they give me $100 back that year, that's not income" or "if I get credit card rewards points based on my spending, that's a rebate and not taxable", or a mail-in rebate.

20:27 DaemonFC; Elon Musk corrected about "CB radios being free of government control" by the Crime a Day account.
20:27 DaemonFC; Whistling, campaigning, making weird noises, selling something, trying to entertain or amuse people, talking to people in another country (except Canada) are all federal crimes you can commit with a CB radio if you're not careful.
20:27 DaemonFC; You can be fined $500 for every day the violation occurs and risk going to prison if you do two of these things on any particular day.

21:35 DaemonFC; Biden could go after Kyle Rittenhouse again if he wanted, including having Merrick Garland charge him under 18 USC 1073, which makes it a fed crime to flee a state to avoid prosecution for Felony.
21:35 DaemonFC; After committing acts in Wisconsin, Rittenhouse fled to Illinois.
21:35 DaemonFC; Once he was in Illinois, the Trump people paid for a lawyer to fight the extradition (which is pointless because it's just time in jail with no credit). The fact Wisconsin let him off on the murder and great bodily harm is irrelevant.
21:35 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
21:35 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
21:35 DaemonFC; The fact that Rittenhouse was acquitted on the underlying charges in Wisconsin doesn't mean that he didn't flee to hide from prosecution into Illinois as described under 18 USC 1073.
21:36 DaemonFC; The fed statute doesn't specify how long you have to try to evade prosecution in the other state before surrendering yourself, and the fact that the Trump-affiliated lawyers fought the extradition proceeding on what turned out to be a valid warrant, and then gave up provides further evidence of a federal crime.
21:37 immibis; Why would Biden want to go after Kyle Rittenhouse?
21:37 immibis; Biden is a do-nothing centrist.
21:38 immibis; Even if he were left, there are way higher things on the priority list than arresting Kyle Rittenhouse
21:38 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
21:38 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
21:38 DaemonFC; Most fugitives who flee to evade felony prosecution are not charged under the federal UFAP statute, because the federal government doesn't really want to piss around with them.
21:38 DaemonFC; It's another example of how a law that is rarely enforced can be enforced if you show your ass and make a prosecutor angry at you, so this really feeds into Harvey Silverglate's point from Three Felonies a Day about how there are over 40,000 federal crimes, nobody knows what they all are, and they aren't always enforced.
21:38 *oarion7 has quit (Quit: Running IRC on a charmed medieval abacus.)
21:40 MinceR; also, why would this even be the president's job? don't they have prosecutors over there?
21:42 DaemonFC; MinceR, The Attorney General in the US is a hack and a political crony of the President.
21:42 DaemonFC; So most federal prosecutions are politically motivated.
21:43 DaemonFC; For example, George W. Bush told John Ashcroft to go after as much porn as possible and "figure out a way to make it illegal", and had him file federal charges against the State of Oregon to try to stop their Death With Dignity law.
21:43 DaemonFC; So a lot of federal resources went into fighting consenting adult pornography and assisted suicide for the terminally ill.
21:44 DaemonFC; Ashcroft bungled both of them btw.
21:45 DaemonFC; He took some cases to the Supreme Court where the Oregon law was upheld and the Child Pornography Prevention Act of 1996 was struck down entirely.
21:45 DaemonFC; At great taxpayer expense, because the federal government also had to pay the legal fees for Oregon and all of the defendants in the CPPA cases.

22:05 DaemonFC; Basically, you absolutely can get a terrible lawyer who is not giving you the best advice.
22:05 DaemonFC; Many people say that Rittenhouse got away with murder, but he also made himself a victim of a political stunt by a Trumpist showboater who made him spend two unnecessary months in an Illinois jail to draw media attention to the lawyer.
22:05 DaemonFC; When people say "You're full of it! I talked to a lawyer and they said X.", I've talked to 5 lawyers in a row about something before where they were wrong and I was right.

22:07 DaemonFC; Why are so many lawyers wrong about the law?
22:07 DaemonFC; The law is complex and constantly changing, and they may not be up to speed on it.
22:07 DaemonFC; They're human and when something is a matter of interpretation, then it's up in the air. The government agent may not even interpret it the same way another government agent would have, much less any two lawyers you talk to.

22:17 DaemonFC; If the legislature thinks that Illinois residents don't want cash bail, they need to ask us at an election with a proposed amendment.

22:23 DaemonFC; IBM fired 80 people in the US and shifted its legacy support of AIX to India.
22:23 DaemonFC; Legacy UNIX is not really that important anymore thanks to Linux, and so all these companies see it as is "We need to make customers who still have our UNIX happy until those machines are retired or the system is moved into a VM somewhere.".
22:23 DaemonFC; Windows Server is going off in that direction too.
22:23 immibis; the only first-world developing country
22:23 DaemonFC; Windows Server on ARM is the Itanium era repeated as Microsoft falls apart.
22:24 immibis; DaemonFC: why is this your fediverse feed?
22:24 immibis; this channel, I mean
22:24 DaemonFC; Matthew GULAG tried to imply that the Itanium failed because they tried to pair it with UNIX/Linux.
22:24 DaemonFC; Not because it was a very expensive chip that wasn't compatible to a meaningful degree with x86-32.
22:25 mjg59_; I did? When?
22:25 DaemonFC; He forgot to mention that Windows on Itanium was a fucking botched mess that took out the entire hope of the platform catching on.
22:25 immibis; DaemonFC: this channel is your fediverse feed because of Matthew GULAG?
22:26 mjg59_; I think it was more that it was extremely expensive, not significantly faster than amd64, and people were moving away from proprietary UNIX
22:26 mjg59_; Oh, and much more difficult to transition to from x86
22:26 DaemonFC; On the Shitter. When you said that the Itanium "mostly ended up running UNIX". Most of the Itanium systems I dealt with ended up running Windows, and that's what few I ever saw. I was offered to buy some cheaply.
22:26 DaemonFC; But I turned it down because nobody was supporting it well.
22:27 DaemonFC; You couldn't just grab Fedora and boom there it was on that Itanium system.
22:27 mjg59_; Yeah, the only reason you'd want Itanium is if you were stuck on HPUX and wanted new hardware
22:27 mjg59_; There was zero reason to have it on client systems
22:27 mjg59_; Itanium workstations were loud and hot
22:27 DaemonFC; The only thing that lives on about Itanium is the overall high level layout of WoW64 and EFI, from what I can gather.
22:28 mjg59_; I'm not sure how you get from "Most Itaniums ended up running proprietary UNIX" to "Itanium failed because they tried to pair it with UNIX/Linux"
22:29 DaemonFC; Windows XP 64-bit Edition and Windows Server 64-bit Edition, which they should have called the Itanium Edition, because now we have yet another bogus Microsoftism (x64) to describe x86-64, was on all of the Itanium systems that Stride Rite ended up buying to replace Windows 2000.
22:29 DaemonFC; I can only imagine who made this call.
22:30 DaemonFC; Not just Windows 2000, but NT4.
22:30 DaemonFC; And I don't know why they did this when it was so obvious that AMD64 was the future.
22:31 DaemonFC; I already had a PC with 8 GB of RAM in it in 2005. They were selling them with 4 because anything more would be a waste with Windows.
22:31 DaemonFC; But it had an empty DIMM slot and I put in another 4 GB and Windows obviously couldn't use it.
22:31 mjg59_; Possibly because XP for Itanium was released in 2001, and Athlon 64 in 2003?
22:31 DaemonFC; So I ended up going and grabbing a 64-bit Linux distribution and there it is. There's my 8 GB of RAM.
22:32 DaemonFC; Windows is hopelessly fucked.
22:32 DaemonFC; And this whole Windows on ARM debacle will be another fire sale, entire pallets at some warehouse written off.
22:32 DaemonFC; Nobody is buying the Surface ARM things.
22:33 DaemonFC; They fired a bunch of Surface people the other day.
22:33 DaemonFC; Wanna bet that's who got it?
22:33 DaemonFC; Thanks to "Secure Boot", you can't use them for anything else, so it's just money down the shitter.
22:34 DaemonFC; At best you'll get Microsoft Edge and "Clown Office" and they have to give you security updates for a little while.
22:34 DaemonFC; And it's not like you can just throw $100 bucks at it on the clearance rack and use them like a really terrible Chromebook, like Windows RT.
22:35 DaemonFC; These are "premium" dog shit wrapped in cat shit.
22:35 DaemonFC; Thousands of bucks, retail.
22:35 DaemonFC; They're not Apple.
22:35 DaemonFC; <mjg59_> Possibly because XP for Itanium was released in 2001, and Athlon 64 in 2003?
22:35 DaemonFC; Still made no sense to buy it.
22:35 DaemonFC; The Windows 2000 systems they had were still functional.
22:36 DaemonFC; That company was so badly managed it was a wonder it functioned at all.
22:37 DaemonFC; They had money going to waste on everything, and the plant manager was this total Bill Lumbergh clone.
22:37 DaemonFC; I started actually calling him "Lumbergh" behind his back.
22:37 DaemonFC; He even wore aviator glasses and suspenders with a belt.
22:37 DaemonFC; It was too easy.
22:38 mjg59_; I'm still trying to figure out why you think I said Itanium failed because the tried to pair it with UNIX/Linux
22:38 DaemonFC; Then there was his underling which also dressed that way and had the same mannerisms.
22:38 DaemonFC; So we had Lumbergh and Mini Lumbergh.

22:46 DaemonFC; The movie and book never try to make the statement that the homosexuality is the root of the perversion.
22:47 DaemonFC; The reason you could never do Wint and Kidd again is because Hollywood is on an extreme apology tour to the point where you can't portray someone for being both homosexual and villainous and/or perverted even though it's hardly mutually exclusive.
22:47 DaemonFC; There's, I figure, the same amount of villainy and perversion as there is among straight people.
22:47 DaemonFC; But you can't say that anymore because of woke virtue signaling.

23:12 DaemonFC; mjg59_, In November 2011, $100 would get you less than 6 shares of the company you work for. Today, $100 is 77 shares.
23:12 DaemonFC; Because the company is worthless and running out of time.
23:12 MinceR; "I'm Mr. Kil." "Now there's a name to die for."
23:12 DaemonFC; At this point, it actually only gets a stay of execution by becoming a meme stock in Reddit, or if someone buys it for patents.
23:13 DaemonFC; Err, 2021.
23:13 DaemonFC; Typo.
23:15 DaemonFC; So if I invested $10,000 in Aurora in 2021, I'd only have about $800 today. Why is that a good investment? Is that a good investment?
23:15 DaemonFC; This is like that scene in Defending Your Life where he tells the judges he invested in cattle instead of Casio and "I don't know. The last thing I heard, their teeth fell out.".
23:16 mjg59_; I'd say that investing in startups is usually a bad idea
23:16 mjg59_; But my salary doesn't depend on our stock price, so
23:16 DaemonFC; So you're on record saying that investing in your company is a bad idea if you want to make money as an investor?
23:17 DaemonFC; You make a small fortune with Aurora by giving them a large fortune to start out. :)

23:18 DaemonFC; You've had years and your negative cash flow has been worse every year as far as I can tell, and that generally tells me you're losing investor confidence that you'll ever have a product that can be monetized to the point of a positive cash flow on an ongoing basis at such a hypothetical point in the future.

23:20 mjg59_; I've never invested in any company I work for
23:20 DaemonFC; I mean, if you have confidence in your company enough to have a significant holding in it aside from "Oh they gave me some that I didn't buy and I'm just waiting for it to vest...." that would go a small way.
23:20 DaemonFC; <mjg59_> I've never invested in any company I work for
23:20 DaemonFC; Is there any reason for this other than Insider Trading accusations later?
23:21 DaemonFC; I mean, you could still passively invest where you're not directing the trades.
23:21 DaemonFC; It just happens on a schedule without your input.
23:21 DaemonFC; But you don't even do this?
23:22 DaemonFC; I don't invest in Walmart even though the company would match us with 15% more stock than we paid for.
23:22 DaemonFC; Because the whole thing would just be a tax nightmare.
23:22 mjg59_; Because it's not financially prudent to have a salary and investments tied to the same company?
23:22 DaemonFC; It's much better to put it in a 401(k) where they match it 100% and the IRS gives us numerous tax credits.
23:23 DaemonFC; Then if you sold any of that Walmart stock, they'd issue a 1099-B and you'd get to calculate capital gains and losses, whereas money coming out of a 401(k) someday is income tax. You get a statement at the end of the year, and it's income tax.
23:24 DaemonFC; Which in our case would be lower than Capital Gains, even at the longer term rate.
23:24 DaemonFC; Walmart is already a big component in the S&P 500.
23:25 DaemonFC; So to an extent, you're investing in Walmart anyway in a 401(k), but it's more diversified.
23:25 DaemonFC; So if you're going to invest in anything with a company match, do the 401(k) first and foremost.
23:25 DaemonFC; I see people doing company stock and not the 401(k) and I have to tell them that's a terrible idea.
23:26 DaemonFC; Most of these people are not high paid, so they're screwing themselves in three ways by not putting 6% in their 401(k).

23:30 DaemonFC; Not putting $2,100 in there costs you $3,300.
23:30 DaemonFC; And the $2,100 you put there of your money is still your money.

23:49 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], The situation is impossible to hide because of Edge on XBOX broadcasting its User Agent.
23:49 DaemonFC; :)
23:50 DaemonFC; If this was the XBOX 360 v. PS4 we could go by total sales, but they don't tell you anything about how actively people use the console.
23:50 DaemonFC; If they're not using the Web browser, are they buying any games?

23:50 DaemonFC; The games are profit.
23:51 DaemonFC; So if Playstation users engage with the console's browser, they probably have it on to play games, which means they're out there buying more games./
23:54 schestowitz[TR]; The console is subsidies.
23:54 schestowitz[TR]; iirc, costs about $800 to 'makke'
23:54 schestowitz[TR]; and sold for $600
23:54 schestowitz[TR]; but unsold means $800 in losses
23:54 schestowitz[TR]; so they sell at a loss
23:54 schestowitz[TR]; btw, the ps5 I tried yesterday was disappointing
23:54 schestowitz[TR]; nothing too exciting
23:54 schestowitz[TR]; just better graphics
23:55 schestowitz[TR]; the store was almost empty
23:55 schestowitz[TR]; it's almost like the economy is weak or something...
