iOS 18 in one image. What are you most excited for?
  • Does anyone else have this problem: Some messages only showing up for iPhone users in the group SMS chat? For example someone will answer a question that the Android users never see. Then those questions randomly show up a week later for Android users? Hopefully RCS will fix that.

  • T-Mobile users thought they had a lifetime price lock—guess what happened next
  • Is that a good deal anymore? I live in Canada where we typically get dry fucked on cellphone plans. I used to pay $50 for 6 GB, but they keep having deals and I keep switching up my plan. I'm currently paying $35 ($25.50 USD)/mo for 70 GB.

  • Average credit card balances jump 10% to a record $6,360, and more consumers fall behind on payments
  • I assume it's total outstanding debt divided by credit card holder. Kids, never carry a balance on your CC. Do not accept 20% as a reasonable loan. Spend against your budget, save up for big purchases and pay your CC bill in full!

  • That's a low blow
  • I'm 6'-7" and consider everyone short, until I come across someone 6'-5" or taller and then I'm like "holy shit that guy is tall". Has to do with your eyes being a few inches lower than the top of your head. I'm just glad I clear standard 6'-8" doorways, can pay for exit row and somehow a Mazda CX-5 fits me comfortably.

  • They'll make anything you need
  • Why is it that all good calculator manufacturers also have a dark side? I have an RPN calculator made by HP, back in the day they made the holy Grail of RPNs the 32 SII. But they are the single worst thing that has happened to printer ink.

  • To people currently facing extreme cold, how are you guys doing?
  • Fire code in Canada, all new buildings need a pressurized sprinkler system. The pipe runs through the attic to a sprinkler head on the ceiling. But the dick head contractor did not insulate the pipe portion that was running through the uninsulated attic.

    Oh and when the sprinkler is triggered only the fire department can turn it off.

  • To people currently facing extreme cold, how are you guys doing?
  • Sprinkler in the attic burst due to the cold and flooded 10 condos including my own. Great way to relax on a Sunday night, losing a battle to water rushing in from vent, sprinkler heads, lighting fixtures. Currently living out of a Best Western while they are drying out my apartment. Next step demo and restoration, yay.

  • Hackers can infect network-connected wrenches to install ransomware
  • My dishwasher is connected to the network. I can start it from my phone but it's more convenient to press start when I close the door and put in soap. The only reason I'd want it to be connected to the network is if it had tiny cameras inside. Why do network connected dishwashers not have tiny cameras and lights, so I can watch it actually cleaning my dishes?!

  • Internet Plans - Oxio

    Looks like my Telus discounts expired and I wasn't paying attention. Every couple of years this happens and I have to play the call customer support and threaten to cancel game to get my bill down. I see that both Rogers and Telus have Black Friday deals, but after 2 years the price goes up again.

    I found out about another company named Oxio.ca that has no contracts and cheaper prices than Telus. They operate on Rogers network, similar to what Tek Savvy was doing. I'll follow up with another post once the service gets connected (should be Dec 6). I'll put my referral code in in case anyone else is sick of Rogers / Telus and wants a month free (I get a month free too)

    Now I get to call TELUS to cancel my services because there is no option to online. Plenty of options to add services though...

    Edit: If anyone actually reads this, Oxio is solid. No problem to set up and support techs are great as well. You can't call them, only text or email but they get back to you quickly. Contacted them the first few days, mainly for mistakes I made and have had solid, consistent internet ever since.
