I switched 3 home computers to Linux of various flavours. One a HTPC, one a general desktop, and one a gaming system. I actually prefer it to Win10. Faster, Less bloat, and hardly ever have to reboot.

Google did not semi-cave. The government did. The act requires payment for links to news sites, even if the news sites themselves post those links. So government caved and removed the link tax for Google, and google agreed to pay a set amount, to a fund, tied to inflation. This is what the act should have been, but is not. If link payments are enforced in the future, then Google will block all news.

An amendment was asked to do just that, but was rejected by Trudeau.

This is how Canada has been for years. Telco execs get appointed to government agencies and get to help their old buddies while shafting regular Canadians. I feel bad for you that this is happening to you as well. Expect extreme high costs for internet and mobile in your future.

I will pay more not to be locked in.

They should also rename US apps "US Spying App1, US Spying App2,...", and you will quickly see them climb into the thousands.

Ummm no, Sensitivity of PCR in the field is between 66-80%, which is not good. It's better than nothing but not good. https://theconversation.com/co... This is based on the science around these tests.

It goes further than that. Everyone here assumes everyone is directly below the satellite, when in fact a vast majority are much further away.

I looked into their solution as part of a review of various technologies to provide broadband to remote communities. It will not be affordable to most, and uses less satellites(120) then the other two big satellite mesh networks from SpaceX (1000 - 4,425) and OneWeb (750). Altitude and number of down links is also an issue. Telesat is targeting 1000 km, OneWeb at 1200 km, and SpaceX at 338 to 1000 km. The closer the better for latency. Down link numbers and locations will determine max bandwidth from any given satellite and the latency to a remote location. This is a pure vote magnet, sucking in people who don't understand the technology. Take their statement (Will be affordable) while SpaceX and OneWeb both say same or cheaper then current FTTH services.

But iOS is a walled garden. Try to put music onto an iPhone without using iTunes. A friend was shocked when I told him he had to install it on his computer if he wanted his library on his phone. Needless to say, he returned the iPhone.

I agree. I want to know about all propaganda, not just Russian. I feel that most of the propaganda is from the U.S.

You say that the rule of law should apply, but big business controls congress. Is that not cheating? Currently big $ controls all levels of government. Big $ will never let rules that restrict their ability to control government so therefore would never allow true net neutrality through congress. Only way is to cheat the system, since the system refuses to work for the people.

Isn't it about time that they also block the largest driver of propaganda? The U.S.! American news site publish so much false news that favours the U.S., that they are much worse than the Russians. Apply the rules equally to all.

Uhhh I mentioned spreadsheets and complex documents, as well as typing long emails. I never mentioned photoshop, or playing high end games. That's what my desktop is for. As well, I never complained, just stated facts.

But Apple advertises it as more powerful than a laptop. Your describing someone who does not need anything as powerful as a laptop.
