As someone who has been saving my ticket stubs for 20+ years I was very frustrated by the disappearance of physical tickets. I paid the extra fee to have them mailed to me, but eventually that went away. Printed emails are not the same. I e

I just cancelled my Midjourney subscription, it feels like it's fallen too far behind for the stuff I'd like to do. Spent a lot of time considering using Replicate as well as Ideogram.

Yep, pretty much just need to see (inc.com) and then ignore it.

I saw the real life Book of Kells earlier this year and it was so pristine and high quality it didn't look real, like seriously looked like a modern fancy reprint, it was a bit confusing!

This is the company whose instagram ads show ridiculous stuff for like $17 and you think this has to be a scam, right? And their biggest market is boomers and gen x, those still most likely to fall for the scam or just say fuck it and order

Kind of concerning to see so much sketchbag behaviour from possibly the top AI company so consistently. Sure brings a lot of confidence in the future and sad that they can get away with it and still succeed because of the tech and their big

In the video where the 2 AI's sing together, it starts to get really cringey and weird to the point where it literally sounds like it's being faked by 2 voice actors off-screen with literal guns to their heads trying not to cry, d

My favourite part of the article is the Sabaton reference, just perfect timing.

Yeah, I don't hold a lot of money in there if I can help it, just until the rate seems favourable, then I convert it to CAD and send it off to my Canadian bank account for safer keeping as WISE is not FDIC protected.

Sorry, I meant after I've converted my USD to CAD in Wise, I can then send the CAD to my Canadian bank for like $0.66

by CosmicShadow 3y ago
I definitely love using Wise for my business. As a Canadian I can collect USD (which my shops charge in) and hold it for free as opposed to the fees my bank would charge and I don't get hit with conversion fees on every deposit. I can

If only they'd let you put any SD card in a new phone, but nah, how about an extra $500 for like 256gb

Is it hard to remember the one password you use for all Google services everyone's already been doing forever and will still have to do for every other site? When's the last time anyone even had to log into Google on any device? I

Food is not absurdly cheap in Canada, and has gone up an incredible amount in the last 2 years.

or is that an opportunity?...

by CosmicShadow 3y ago
Hmm, they keep making phones more expensive and taking away features that you used to get for free, like access to SD card and headphone jack so you have to pay more to them for a worse experience. I really want the fold, but it's stil

That is the portrait of a typical Torontonian.

I've been using it for years and it's something where you need to learn what it's for and how to use those parts properly (static vs server), but once you get that figured out it's pretty quick to do a lot of things well

It was and still is the coolest device, holding it sideways and scrolling with your thumb, it was so light and perfectly sized, the battery lasted for DAYS. I really want another phone like it, but everything now is the same, except for the

That is massive! I feel like I've got a lot when I hit like 28h.

I'm kind of confused. 10 years ago a guy stole from an illegal underground operation and today, years later after it was shutdown, someone form the government finally found them and brought them to justice? Who reported the crime and w

Amazing, we need more cool stuff like this out there.

This just seems like a faster way to infect people with incorrect information. I mean every result returned will soon enough just be AI generated articles with that incorrect information, and you are saving us a step from clicking, but I&#x

How do you get away with defending tax fraud to the point where the fine is pointless? Does the SEC not get to keep the winnings to use for their future cases so they can hire a ton of lawyers? I guess the real problem is why are judges (pr

I guess it just seems strange that if their job is to essentially take wrong-doers to court and win loads of money, even if those winnings are relatively small compared to what they should be, they would still both have a lot of lawyers on

Thanks for the definition

But what kind of staff or funding does it take to say literally different words out of your mouth like, you are fined $5B instead of $5MM? I can do that for free, especially if they are already at the point where they are making the charge.

St. Thomas is a small city (less than 50k, and it's not a suburb of a bigger city) in Ontario, Canada that is probably almost devoid of any tech or startup action, so it's cool to see one that stuck there and made it work instead

Just start with the word "downloadable" in the Etsy search bar, you'll get quite the wide variety of random crap. Page through it and you can start rabbit-holing down different keyword combinations. It's vast. Most peopl
