The solution in Canada is to break up some of these huge companies. The free market can solve things, but only if there's a free market. When you have 1 or 2 companies, there's no competition.

The real problem is there's no competition in Canadian media. In Canada, "Monopoly" is often confused for a free market.

I grew up in Newfoundland. We have several dialects, and a whole bunch of accents. I find the Hiberno-English ones the best!

They were speaking after the end of the war, and Germany had been partitioned already into occupation zones. Potsdam was signed just before this conversation?

My kids use e-sims from Orange France on their iPhones in Canada. 365-day great for kids that are always around WiFi, but need data once in a while. I basically pay for 5 gigs and it lasts a year. Roams on Telus, Bell, Rogers on 5G. I th

The German side was also starved for weather data. And since weather tends to flow West to East over the Atlantic, they were even more disadvantaged. Interesting solution was un-manned, automated weather stations like this one: https:&#x2

ANAC doesn't fuck around. And they're great with e-mailing in English. So formal though :-) I've had a similar issue with KLM, and once ANAC is involved, it's over.

It's cool to use pbcopy and pbpaste with your phone! Copy some text on the phone, and you can pbpaste it onto the Mac command line. So cool.

I'm wondering if the port forwarding was the reason so many of Mullvad's IPs were frequently blocked or had "bad reputations" ? Anyway, I've been a customer for a long time, and will continue to be.

I think it's because of the popularity of Apollo. I know that's the only app I use for Reddit.

Yeah, I think we're actually proud of stuff that was lampooned on Air Farce. That's the whole point of it. Remember the Chicken Cannon?

Is this the wildfire smoke from Northern Canada? Here's the view from Fort McMurray, Alberta -- a drone video I took last week. Check out the swarm of birds at 2:30 or so in the video. Fort McMurray had Canada's largest wildfire

I have Mullvad running on my devices all the time... I wonder if they showed the ad to Mullvad users? Also, Mullvad is unique in that it generally doesn't do commissions or special sale prices, etc. The "top rated" VPNs on r

That's kind of funny the iOS / Android thing for thieves. On one hand, it's practically impossible to use an iOS device that has been remotely locked / disabled. So they shouldn't be worth much. This doesn't

Check out also https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/Upload/ which is free. And https://airdata.com which has a free tier. It can also sync automatically with DJI and third party apps (I use Litchi).

My impression is that the tech-savvy people still use torrents, but nowadays they share these torrents with their less savvy group using things like Plex (and Plex alternatives). That's what I've witnessed with my Portuguese and S

The best way to encourage pirates is expecting a Canadian viewer to pay $100 or more a month to watch soccer. I don't condone it, but hypothetically, the $7 a month I pay to stream illegally is a fuck you to the leagues and their right

When this was first proposed in the EU, the connected they wanted to mandate was the "standard" at the time. USB Mini-B. Which is now deprecated and a few generations behind. And the same arguments were made at the time. "

GM has no other way to distinguish itself from the others. If it came down to choosing between a GM without CarPlay and a Ford or Toyota with CarPlay, I wouldn't choose a GM.

I tend to try out a lot of Raspberry PI projects (PI-hole, WeeWX, etc) then eventually migrate them to a VM in an ESXi server. Much easier to manage and more reliable.

As a Canadian kid, I spent summers in Portugal, in my mom's hometown. My grandfather ran the local newsstand, and I spent a lot of my summer vacation reading English computer magazines. It was a completely different world than the N
