I just bought a house and this was the conclusion I came to. A cheap PoE-capable multigig switch and a single Omada access point cost about the same as a cheap WiFi 7-capable router would have. I did opt to run the…
How often are you still receiving physical cheques that mobile deposit is an essential feature? I could probably count on one hand the number of cheques I've deposited or written in the past ~15 years, nor can I say…
> Canadian TikTok is now also being similarly moderated for content unfriendly of your administration. I feel like this has to do more with the consolidation you typically see international companies do with their North…
I don't know, maybe it's the way I was raised, but to me it just seems like common sense that a privatised monopoly is going to be worse in literally every metric imaginable, than maintaining public ownership - not just…
> Anyone will hopefully lend you a phone if you're in a pinch I honestly wouldn't count on it, at least not where I'm from, not anymore anyways. IME, having been in that situation (and knowing the numbers I need to…
And honestly, that's my biggest gripe. Identical search terms on different systems, or even the same system in different physical locations, almost always return different results from one-another. Telling someone to…
The author's complaint(s) stem from the ads that "just keeps downloading" which in approximately five minutes downloaded "almost half a gigabyte" worth of information. This is a prime example of why many people use…
I feel like an easier solution to having six different email addresses is to use Gmail aliases - I've caught a few less-than-honest companies either selling my email address, or been breached without disclosing such,…
Your dates are a little off - Rayman Legends released in 2013 and saw a remaster in 2017. Rayman Mini was released in 2019, but it's not exactly a main-franchise title...
> Keep in mind that the US auto industry is also very much a Canadian one. As someone who's worked in the auto industry (in Canada) I have to 'hard disagree.' The big three have proven time and time again that we…
> It's not profitable to recycle small electronic devices otherwise you'd see heaps of shops doing it. It's toxic, hazardous and labour intensive. Sounds like they should be banning their sale and/or production then,…
What burned me was that there was no updating from WP7 to WP8 - After playing around with one and genuinely enjoying the experience, I convinced myself to buy a Lumia 900 in April of 2012, just for Nokia/Microsoft to…
It's pretty easy to accomplish the same using virtually any 3D printer, even something as simple as an Ender 3 can be set to pause at a set layer in GCODE where the filament can manually be changed to the next desired…
This seems like an incredible disingenuous take. There's a marked difference between collecting information to freely share with the rest of humanity, and collecting information to feed into algorithms under the guise…
I don't even get calls from my doctor anymore, everything is done online/through a portal, I just get an email with a link to my doctor's "secure portal," enter my DoB, and all our "conversations" are right there,…
> But where I live, winters could be a big issue. These vehicles could coat the roads with thin black ice. I never even considered this as a problem. Is the exhaust liquid water though? Because my understanding of the…
I was thinking the same thing; the city I'm in isn't even that large (approx 450k pop.) but I could probably go through my list of contacts that live in-town and rattle off at least two-dozen area codes that aren't…
Not necessarily my own use, but I built a few tools (that I volunteer free for use on a perpetual license) for my day job to make life a little easier in a few departments. Nothing impressive imho, they're mostly…
Realistically, it's been possible on and off for quite some time. Chrysler's UConnect system received quite a bit of flak some years back over just how easy it was to take over full control of a vehicle[0]; not just…
Given GM's commitment to actively removing the most popular and asked-for feature in the automotive world from their own infotainment systems, I'm not even surprised. This is a company that has proven before and…
In many cases the coils were integrated into the casing of the battery, and the back panel of the phone was thin enough to transfer sufficient power through.
Being one of those weirdos still using a proper receiver and 5.1 speaker setup on our main TV, but a stereo pair on our other TV, it's incredible the difference the lack of a discrete center-channel can make. It seems…
It's become wildly prevalent the past few years in Canada, to the point where co-workers whom I've thought were decent people for the past ~10 years are actually inhuman pieces of shit, they've just never felt 'free' to…
I think, for me, it satisfies some kind of hoarding instinct. I have a hard time keeping 'random junk' laying around my apartment, but I have absolutely no problem keeping a copy of a DVD I ripped 15 years ago that I…
A friend and I were able to phish passwords from nearly the entire school we went to with VB6 - the school (board) used active directory for logins on a shoddy network where some switches would often just drop all…
