In Québec this is our first phone-free school year too, I know some parents and children want to basically strike and protest, because helicopter parents will not be tethered anymore...

Yes, but only some places like theatres and mall centre. I think in houses it is something like 4%, compared to 90% in Florida or even 60% in Canada.

Working from home, as a contractor, so always connected to client via VPN. A contract could be done with a 1MB link because there is about no comm needed, another contract for a broadcasting company required downloading/uploading gigs and gigs of video per day and the gigabit link makes a big difference here.

When I saw the poster for the new Fantastic Four movie, I thought it was generated by AI or by a fan in his basement. Then I saw the trailer... oh boy... this looks horrible... About all Marvel movies have bad CGI, bad acting, and dull and shallow scenario.

I guess they didn't know AWS right and for them it was easier to make it public than to write a small JSON in the Permissions/Bucket Policy to allow access by giving the ARN IAM role etc.

I have to agree, I'm old and played pong, old coleco/atari etc and 8bit games before consoles and all, and I must say Doom was a turning point in gaming.

I tap to pay since ~2016, checking account or credit card, both are in Google Pay, I never went back.

I only use cash for things I buy on Marketplace and even then, in Canada we do interac transfer it's instantaneous and free.

nah, any day, bring me camembert or bleu, real cheese.

In great Montreal, traffic info is on AM, and are pretty good, so sometimes I listen to AM on the road. At home about never.

You don't even have to post it, my GF and me talked about a particular brand of travel trailer, and it appeared after 30 seconds in her FB feed.

I agree that in case of catastrophic event, an AM radio working on battery, at home, could be useful. I guess they want it in cars because if there is no power, at least people would be able to hear news.

True, 2 years ago I downgraded from the Premium plan to the standard plan, last year I downgraded to the ads supported one, I may just cancel it soon.

I'm in QC and will vote for Bloc, the only valid choice for us.

Same thing, a false popup of a site saying that I have to unblock html-load.com because it break the site, it is not broken, they are using an anti-ads script. uBlockOrigin does not block it, it needs javascript injection or a tampermonkey script.

Where is the "Disable Ads" checkbox we had for 25 years?!?

I have 11 plugs and others IoTs on my 2.4GHz, and 6 devices on 5GHz which are phones, laptops, tablets.
