A phone CPU challenging a top of the line desktop GPU is crazy.

I hope the latter.

The food in couche tard is just so uninspiring. Not downright terrible, but pretty overpriced for what they are.

Homicide rate in Winnipeg is 5/100k: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=3510007101&pickMembers[0]=2.2&cubeTimeFrame.startYear=2020&cubeTimeFrame.endYear=2023&referencePeriods=20200101%2C20230101

Definitely much worse than being in Poland, where the rate is 0.68, one of the lowest in Europe.

This attack comes less than eight months after another incident where a Ukrainian newcomer was stabbed and killed on his way to work at the corner of Talbot Avenue and Watt Street, several blocks from where Sokolova was attacked.

I'm starting to think those attacks could be ethnically-motivated. Especially asking if they are Ukrainian before attacking. I wonder if the two events are connected.

Tbh this is probably for things like DLSS, captions, etc. Not necessarily for chatbots or generative art.

Yeah I forgot Manitoba was mostly relying on hydro!

I don't think it's fair to look at Canada as a monolith. Quebec is generating most of its energy from hydro, whereas Ontario relies on a well established nuclear energy infrastructure. Provinces that need to change are Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta.

Edit: Manitoba actually relies on hydro for 97% of their usage. So correction: only Alberta and Saskatchewan!

Fire to improve productivity???

Might look good, but with price of mobo and ram it's not worth it (i.e. might as well spend more to get a better CPU).

Yeah with a docker container running 24/7 and a phone app it's much better. they also have a setting where deleted files on phone are simply moved to archive on the server.

Having setup both, ive found syncthing to be much simpler. I would probably not go through the headache of setting up https and databases for next cloud again...

You want people to go downtown more? What about making it easy and safe (from stabbing) to go downtown via public transport? Rather than trams that takes 1h+ when it should be taking 20min?

If they have everyday low price why would there be a price drop?

Opening up the tools for becoming competitive in the market would be a good start. Crazy that it's harder to start your own farm or restaurant than to build your own web service company or open your own online clothing brand.

Yeah problematic tenants are an issue, especially when the landlords are elderly folks whose alternative would be to seek professional management or sell it to REITs, both of which exacerbate the issue of rent price.

I think a rent cap could be a good way. It could be raised wrt to inflation. Then, government housing, better loan systems for non profit and maximize density to allow building taller rather than wider (making land cost minimal), but not tall enough that would create increased cost (elevators are expensive to maintain for example). A lot of initiatives need to be put in place, but one that could be effective is to lower costs of construction and find ways to increase productivity by improving resource management

The fundamental issue with housing as an investment is that it is a monolithic and non-fluid vehicle, which makes it worse when leverage comes into play. Whereas stocks can be purchased/sold at any time in an instant and have fractional costs (sometimes as cheap as 10$ per stock), houses are not, and fast fluctuations in prices could heavily impact your ability to realize your gains. So it is, on that aspect, a terrible investment.

For large companies owning thousands of units, this is not an issue since they are spreading the risks across the units (by buying diversely located units of all types). They can also quickly execute purchases and sales since they are in that exact business.

So the argument that houses are ways to pass down wealth is misguided: they are terrible ways to pass down wealth, and parents should leave a trust fund or safe investments rather than a house if their goal is to build generational wealth - housing should be passed down for personal reasons.

Take the recommendation from reddit with a grain of salt: if you are looking for a Mac alternative, you should look into the battery life before deciding. This also has a touch screen and pen, so I'd say its much more an iPad/yoga/surface alternative with better keyboard than an alternative for Mac.

How can you ever learn the risks of exposing ports if all answers are "if you don't know you shouldn't do it"?

The post explicitly recommends ONLY exposing the wireguard port, not 80/443/22 which one should usually not do anyways. Very different things!

Yeah below 250 would make sense. Perhaps it's better than connecting 3 screens to a laptop

What's the point of an egpu if it's an under powdered low end mobile GPU?

Crazy we never heard about him in history classes then.

33 victims! Wow can't believe this has been happening in 21st century.

Clippy was the pretext not the goal

Crown corp would be great but letting them monopolize the entire process might not be the optimal thing to do. In some cases it worked well (e.g. hydro-quebec prices are very competitive) but in others it gives them unlimited power to set the prices as they want in order to achieve a target profit, with potentially murky decisions like automatic bonuses and millions in severance payments.

Oth crown corps competing in the market allows it to be more efficient since other players cannot push crown corps out of the market through acquisition, yet crown corps have to adapt their practice to be competitive and lean; good example is CDPQ infra participating in a competitive market when building light rail systems across Canada/UK.

As much as I disagree with the convoy movement, it seems that the charges are more politically motivated (anti-far right) than bringing justice. A lot of those charges could be applied to anyone partaking in a protest: mischief, obstructing police, and intimidation are all charges that could potentially be applied to both the convoy and the current ceasefire protesters at various North American campuses; given a literal reading of the criminal code.

Intimidation:

besets or watches the place where that person resides, works, carries on business or happens to be;

Mischief:

(b) renders property dangerous, useless, inoperative or ineffective;

Offenses related to public officers:

(a) resists or wilfully obstructs a public officer or peace officer in the execution of his duty or any person lawfully acting in aid of such an officer,

Obviously there's a double standard where such charges would not even be brought up unless it's extreme cases. But shall pat King be charged and given a lengthy prison sentence (5 years for example), that'd probably set a precedence for the justice system to be used to deter politically motivated protests; this time it's the freedom convoy, the next could be Gaza-related protests shall it persist.

Oh there's so many people who want to be doctors! No shortage of that.

What ends up is the extremely difficult admission process, poor mentorship/training structure, long work hours, and low salary; at the end you are rewarded with high salary and prestige, but very few makes it that far.

Honestly I'm really not surprised. Tim is known for choosing the lowest bidder.

From the blogto article linked by op:

He says that "After a couple of sips, it became soggy and started to stain. Thereafter, I could taste a few small lid pieces in the drink, which was like 'yuck.'"

Yep sounds like terrible design and Tim's cheapen out in the material. I've had non plastic caps that were much better than that.

You know what would bring us back to the good old days? A real ceramic mug you can use to sit down, drink it slowly and enjoy. But I haven't been to a Tim's in a while where the server would ask if I wanted a mug or to go. Maybe the lady would call that woke too?

I tried finding it but couldn't, I think I just googled the error Msg and found a solution online, then made it into a bash script

It's only when playing multiplayer

If you go on social media and ask why Canada cares about disabled and veterans, it's not gonna go well. But the "darn immigrants" is a popular trope and people will get behind you

In other news: "federal govt sparks outrage for giving seniors free access to Canada's dentists"

Social media user: "why are we even paying taxes? Canada cares about anyone but the taxpayers"

Can't wait to see the $100k price tag and instantly being sold out

What's the tldr? Just read the entire article and couldn't grasp the main point of this article

I've never played a Sony game or owned a Sony console. I'm simply stating how a major japan-based company could save a young studio from completely disintegrating, allowing them to realize what could be a promising new IP. Also Sony could easily spinoff the studio once they've gained a certain size/reputation (they have spinoffed subsidiaries like financial services last year). Oth Microsoft would never spinoff any game company (they'd rather shut the whole thing down).

Honestly iced v60 is so much simpler.

Would be a great time for Sony to acquire essentially the entire studio for $0, simply paying for their salary (won't even need relocation since it is already based in Tokyo, they could probably just reuse the same office space).

They would not even need to think of a game, simply focus on the planned sequel to hi-fi rush (obviously with different name but keeping the same core idea that was proposed for the sequel) and release it as a Sony exclusive.

Can they fix aoe2:de? The game keeps crashing and I needed to fix it every patch with a special bash script

They should get fined for any food thrown away.
