Comment Re:Canada cannot afford this (Score 2) 235

Do you trust the white house press secretary who said "White House Press Secretary said: “This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from The Lion King. Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public.” and not "Donald Trump made no such post"?

But otherwise you can find every news source reporting this and it seems like the whitehouse is at least proud to defend posting it.

Comment Re:Bad Apple Ad (Score 1) 127

I'm not even thinking about security.

I don't want random FaceTime, so I'd turn that on. I don't want location data in shared photos (or really to even accidentally share photos). I'm fine with not getting invitations for apple services, I don't want those. I don't use configuration profiles, so I'd like to remove the risk I accidentally add one. I don't want link previews in iMessage

Just quality of life things.

I pay $90 for 5gb/5gb fiber that usually performs at least 4.7gb each way on average. I pay $275 a year for visible for my phone.

Before that I paid $139 a month for xfinity 'gigabit' internet which was at best 600mbps/30mbps and $100 a month to verizon for cell service.

I'll keep the fiber and verizon's own MVNO which has performed as good as verizon every day for the last 2 years.

When Metronet came through my area I'm fairly sure every single person switched. I haven't seen a Xfinity truck in ages out here.

The fun part was comcast knew about it, so they went down the street and installed the underground pull boxes to try to stop it.

Metronet saw the other side of the street was better anyways and installed their pull boxes. Those comcast ones have been empty now for years.

Comment Re:Upgrade every year or an new option every year? (Score 1) 24

So I have a 4 year old phone. Will their 2 year old phone feel significant compared to the company that put out a phone this year?

Basically you are on their upgrade train or you are investing in older technology when you buy their phone. That's what not putting out a upgraded model yearly does.

Comment Upgrade every year or an new option every year? (Score 0) 24

The idea that a phone has to be an 'upgrade' of the previous phone is laugable.

Apple releases an iPhone every year. I buy a iPhone every 3-4 years. I'm glad they release one every year so that when I'm ready I'm getting the latest battery/cpu/gpu/memory tech and not the tech that came out 2 years ago.

I guess his thought is you buy a nothing phone and then every time one comes out you 'upgrade'. That is madness.
