The RÉSO is pretty nice, its main part connects between 6 subway stations under downtown: Lucien L'Allier, Bonaventure (with its bus and railway station), Square-Victoria, Place d'Armes, McGill and Peel. It connects directly to sh

If it succeeds (and I think it will), I hope other cities will take example on this. The rules seems reasonable: no through traffic but local traffic and deliveries permitted, and Paris has an extremely dense subway.

It reminds me the old iGoogle personalized homepage with tabs, themes and movable window widgets with news, inbox, weather, maps, calendar and other things.

The lack of options for 27 inch 5K monitors is disappointing. There is nothing cheaper than the old Ultrafine 5K.

You're right, the power of Inkscape is its ability to work natively with SVG capabilities and its technical aspects (instead of some obscure proprietary format). Affinity is more artist-focused.

Affinity Designer is a pretty good tool for vector drawings (for 55$ unique payment). It fills the gap between Inkscape and Illustrator.

Infomaniak is great, starting at 1,50€/month for 5 email addresses, custom domains and unlimited space. They have a real support with humans.

If other states/provinces in North America had the same law, those companies would be forced to propose really free trials.

Some big companies (Amazon or Apple) breaks the law by offering a free month of Prime or Apple Music in Quebec.

Computer Modern is too thin for laser printers and uncomfortable on computers screens (low or hi-DPI). I feel it less readable than Garamond for French publications.

I have the Sony XM4 headphones but it's not perfect. It takes nearly 30 seconds to connect to the computer with the voice saying "Power on", "Device 1 connected", "Device 2 connected". When I restart the c

In France main numbers for emergencies are still 15, 17 and 18. The 112 redirects on these.

It's a great idea! At home I use a rotary Northern Electric 500 and a french S63 with DTMF keypad, both connected on the same VoIP line with an old ATA box (Grandstream HT502) compatible with pulse dialing. Because of differences betwe

In my city, the public local station (CBFT-2) is broadcasting news and some other emissions on the Web. But I love my cheap ATSC tuner "converter box": can be useful in case of network outage, it can also record programs on a USB

I grew up with french plugs (compatible with schuko) and I’m very careful when I’m using US plugs and outlets. The fact that a plugged appliance can have visible metal prongs is terrifying.

The CSA layout is pretty nice, I use it everywhere (writing French and writing code) and don't have problems with {}[]() because these characters are juxtaposed (unlike the french AZERTY).

Unfortunately this layout seems mostly unavailable with PC keyboards (I only seen a Lenovo model).

I had a computer with an US ANSI keyboard a few years and I don't remember it to be very easy. It's annoying to compose accents, it's worse when you have to switch to another OS or another computer. On Windows, it's a me

The problem with US keyboard is that it's most of the time an ANSI layout, with a missing key between Z and left-shift. I love the CSA keyboard because letters with accents are in direct access (a lot better than French Azerty) and {}[
