I'm in Canada and those are the prices I saw when I looked at the Apple and Best Buy websites this afternoon. Apple seems to enjoy charging a premium up here.

> It's priced identical to the Samsung Fold 8. Not around here it isn't. The iPhone Duo starts at $2999 for the base storage. The Fold 8 is $2399 and even the Fold 8 Ultra is $2699. This only confirms that Apple has been ste

Except my aunts are already on WhatsApp and I would have to get all of them on Signal. And then they would still need WhatsApp because of everyone else they talk to who isn't on Signal. The network effect is very real. On top of tha

I am forced to use AI as part of my job to write code. As a matter of fact, I was recently told that I'm not using enough AI according to their metrics, even though I'm producing good quality code on time. Since the cost is one

How many of those can my elderly mother use to talk to her sisters? By my estimation the answer is, "zero," and the alternatives will get even scarcer thanks to Bill C-22.

This might be true in your country but it's absolutely incorrect in mine. Most of the telecoms here started as crown corporations, making them an arm of the government. Some of them have been privatized since then but they all receiv

Most of what I've heard is about the electric vehicles they produce, not the ICE cars. My understanding is their EVs are different beasts and much better.

I don't like using AI. I don't find it particularly helpful. But my employer insists that we use it and tracks metrics so I make sure to give it pointless busywork daily. That way I show as using it even if it causes more probl

I know a number of people with this view on Kia and Hyundai. "They were garbage back in 199X or 200X so they're still garbage now." Except that was twenty or thirty years ago and from what I've heard they made advances

There are large areas of British Columbia not at all suitable for farming due to lack of water, or mountains, but you still see cattle ranchers. On top of that, most of Alberta is classified as semi-arid because the Rockies block the vast

Not to mention you can't trust that the AI is actually filtering out applications properly. I've run into that myself when I was responsible for hiring at my last role. The AI solution my boss insisted we use was awful. It high

It works well provided your needs are simple. I rely on a lot of features in LR that simply don't exist in any open source tool. Even a lot of closed source ones lack them. As much as I would like to move to something else I'm

> Oh, there's one important detail here. The drop in the study was about 2 feet total, because the biplane and helicopter were parked. I don't think that's making the argument you think it is.

I have the Shure TW2 adapters and they work great. No connection issues, great battery life, and the passive isolation I get with the right ear tips is better than any ANC I've ever used. As an added bonus, if you order when they&#x2

I also have a pair of these and they sound really good. Then I received a pair of the Shure Aonic 4s for Christmas one year and those sound amazing. As an added bonus, the passive noise isolation with proper fitting eartips beats any nois

I would argue that vinyl sounds better thanks to the Loudness War[0]. CD is technically superior and should sound better but it's been compressed to hell and back during mastering in ways that vinyl simply can't be due to physica

At one of my previous jobs, we were acquired by a company whose CEO had been caught for something involving bank fraud and was under a gag order not to talk about it. As far as I know they're still in business.

How is it an insane take? My mother is in her seventies, has an iphone, and can't seem to figure out how to put me on speakerphone when I call her. It's a struggle to get her to do much of anything on there. My father is even w

RCS works perfectly on stock and I haven't had any random drops of the cell network since I switched back. I'm not saying it's bug-free, but those particular issues disappeared with stock compared to GOS. It could also be b

This experiment backs up what I've been saying in my social circle for a while now. Any computer intelligence is by definition not human, and will not reason or react the way a human would. If that doesn't scare the hell out of

I've found that your experience with GrapheneOS greatly depends on which country you're in and which mobile provider you use. I'm on Freedom Mobile in Canada and I had enough issues that I went back to stock. RCS didn'

Every single new iPhone costs more than $1000 in Canada. Even the older/cheaper models cost more than $1000 after tax and environment fees. I knew this day was coming but damn.

I mainly stick to the stock launcher these days but I also go for phones that are close to stock android. I've heard good things about Niagara and Lawnchair if that helps.

I used to be all about nova launcher on my android phones. But they got purchased by a mobile data analytics company a while back. I don't trust them anymore and I don't recommend them anymore. Good thing there are loads of qua

Probably Ubuntu or Mint. They're friendlier for new users and handle a lot of the proprietary drivers for you. Something like Kubuntu, which uses KDE as its desktop environment, is closer to Windows than bog standard Ubuntu. I haven

There are a couple different streaming services that I subscribe to for different reasons but it gets harder to keep doing it. CBC Gem - free public broadcaster, but I want to remove ads Shudder - $50/year, cheap as chips Netflix - che

Does that apply to Boeing too? Letting poorly run companies fail runs the risk of causing national security problems when you're suddenly dependent on a hostile power for parts of your supply chain.

I can remember paying $130 CAD for some SNES games back in the day. The price differed from title to title and some of them were really expensive.
