Comment Happy owner (Score 1) 58

Not a shill - wish they had done it sooner as I bought a MacBook start of 2024 as my x86 surface was showing its age. MacBooks are fantastic as everyone knows but I just donâ(TM)t dig macOS myself. The ARM surface laptop was introduced in July I picked one up in August. The Surface Snapdragon Elite with 64G of ram. The machine rocks and the battery is amazing. Iâ(TM)ve owned a lot of computers this one is one of my all time favourites. From my understanding the bottom cover is removable and you can put SSD and battery in (I think-I could be wrong)

Comment Hating aside... (Score 1) 62

MS bashing & security aside (which are all excellent points) - I can see this feature being useful for times. It would have helped me diagnose a few things today with a project we were working on and viewing past result on a dashboard where we have no logging available AND where at the time we didn't think to note things down. So seems like has the potential to be useful.

Comment "Lost deals" (Score 1) 23

"Losing Deals" over a computer outage is FUD - I'm in IT for car dealerships and the folks that work dealerships love to blame IT outages (minor and major) on their inability to close a deal with a client. Sure, having your CRM/etc is not ideal, but should lose any deals over a computer system - silly.

I own a DA40, not as sexy as the SR22 but I can tell it's more forgiving aerodynamically having flow a SR22. I agree low time pilots should hold off on an SR22 pilots such as myself (I'm only 1,000 hours), about 800 in the DA40. I've never found the glass cockpit difficult at all. Was thinking of a SR22 about 5 years ago, got turned off with all the stall/spin accidents - including an acquaintance who fatally crashed last year in an SR22. Looking at all this, I know engine had nothing to do with this accident, but I'm now turned off by single engine piston. Got the twin rating on a DA42, looking to buy a DA62. Trouble is, insurance on a twin is mega bucks - now I know why a lot of people keep single engine. Smart thing to do would to exit aviation altogether, but I just can't - it's too much fun. Stay safe.

Comment He's a criminal and won't last (Score 1) 405

Liberal government won't last in Canada for much longer. Minister Steven Guilbeault is actually a criminal. Look it up. Liberals keep using environment as revenue stream. Only thing that can save the environment is either less people, dropping/reducing dependence on technology, or technology that doesn't pollute. Wishful thinking and taxing is not the solution.
