mircea_popescu: No kidding. That is exactly what went on — we never bought any, but we know people who did, and you could have any chipset you wanted. Well, you could have any chipset label you wanted. We only remember seeing these boards with UMC or PC Chips labels, but apparently you could ask for anything at all: UMC, SiS, Intel, you name it. After all, from the importer's point of view, if it helped close a sale for 500 motherboards, h
mircea_popescu: ow much did it cost to get some sticky labels printed up?
ben_vulpes: whoever it was managed to get some identifying bits right and others insultingly wrong
mircea_popescu: so now... you sell 500 boards for 76 bux each, that's $3800! if the margin on that shit is 2% you're doing fucking great, so the whole charade was organised for a whopping $75! which is half what a fucking steak costs.
mircea_popescu: somewhere there was a fucktard painting stickers for biosen in order to make 75 bux. who ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the same sort of fucktard who goes around being a "woman in tech [journalism]" and so forth.
mircea_popescu: cuz apparently fucktard getting to pretend he's on top of things is worth ~infinity to the fucktard in question.
trinque: bahaha, fucktard in ben_vulpes' case actually thought to itself "I AM CALLING YOUR MOTHER!"

phf: anyway, i did recently replace an iphone (6?) screen, i mean, as far as legoes go that is 6/10. i suspect people who do that for living can do it in 1/10 of time
phf: yeah, i think i gotta do that.. my workhorse machine finally died at motherboard (2011 mac, colleges sighed existential relief "finally you can upgrade like a normal human being", not so fast!)
phf: which i suspect is a "bga ball defect" on the secondary video card
phf: i actually found a lab that repairs apple motherboards of certain vintage, cheap
phf: correct, the exercise is more of a "zen and the art of motorcycle" than anything else

ben_vulpes: funniest thing to me is that the ask is for ~0.05 btc, which is what, just twice what real tits bring in these days?
trinque: because the point is stability of the tard's identity, and not the money
ben_vulpes: were i to venture a guess into what's going on in the addled mind it'd be that it thinks the sum is just right to dispatch an annoyance?
ben_vulpes: funny aside is that it claims i'm ignoring, when in point of fact the ignorance goes strictly the other direction

mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1771302 << i am quite persuaded by this view. what they disliked in bush maps exactly on what we dislike in obama and his herd of subhuman brown orcs ; and more generally what they disliked of hitler (incidentally -- also what they ended up copying of hitler) very much exactly maps on the whole substance of what we don't like in pantsuit.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform or anything else. at least the lost of symbolics era have something to point to. "omg i wrote emacs!!1" "it sucked" "yeah well."

phf: yeah, that battery is a joke, and it's the extended one (the one that sticks out of the frame, unlike the stock smaller one, that i can't seem to find anywhere)
phf: it seems like if i'm going to be power tethered anyway, might as wel lhave a smaller battery purely to keep the ram warm in transport
phf: well, ups/suspend to ram
phf: i believe that in japan land they still have sane hardware produced like that, except they run windows on top of it. some bossman had ritual sake with bill gates (matching honor!) 40 years ago, and since then every japan machine has windows on it
phf: they tried re-negotiating, and couldn't understand what means "bill gates stepped down", tried asking to speak "to his honorable son"
phf: libretto box was also microsoft machine
phf: that doesn't contradict anything i said
