Using the first numbers I found Canada is ~7% of Netflix’ total subscriber count, and less than 1/3 the number of subscribers as the US. They could shut off service to Canada for a month until people start burning down service Canada locations and the tax gets dropped.
The routes that locals use for commuting?
Southern Alberta is probably the best place in Canada for massive scale solar installations. Get on it.
Alberta declared solar panels “ugly” so they wont be installing them anymore.
push for work from home
Work from home will never be accepted by bureaucrats. It immediately showed that employees can be happier while maintaining productivity, ‘hours of operation’ are irrelevant, and those HUGE buildings with astronomical rent are totally useless. All things that get under the skin of bottom feeding management and bureaucrats because it takes away their control over other people.
Makes me wonder if there are any cyphers that are easy enough that human meat could implement it but hard enough that it would take some serious GPU time to crack?
In Ontario the only other options are Cogeco (just as bad) and Teksavvy. Literally every other independent ISP has been bought or put out of business by Bell or Rogers.
Around 2007 I had a Windows laptop die on me and drove me to device agnosticism. Maybe I learned the wrong lesson but now I keep my OS and data separate enough that a b0rked OS is an hour’s inconvenience instead of a day’s recovery.
Still, it’s pretty awesome that you can just shuck a drive into a totally new machine and only have to adjust network settings.
Computers are hard, can everyone go back to unobfuscated telephone calls and handwritten letters?
I know it is kinda frowned on but I like to use new directories at root to cut down on confusion as to where things are. Video storage for the NVR goes in /video, user data for Nextcloud goes in /data, etc. But I also keep everything in it’s own LXC so I don’t have one machine with 30 extra directories cluttering up the root.
I have given in to GNOME. Set dark mode, install the extension “Tactile” and never touch the setting again.
There was a Defcon talk a few years ago (oh god it was 8 years ago) where someone found a way mess with Chryslers because they were all on the Sprint wireless network. Things like lock out the physical controls on the radio then max out the volume, or turn it into a GPS tracker, or disable the brakes! The cars had some service listening on port 6667, there was no way to stop them from accepting malicious connections so Sprint just blocked all traffic on that port on their network at the request of Chrysler. The speaker mentioned they were sorry if you were unable to use IRC any more on Sprint wireless.

Ex: If I move to Russia, I don’t have to become a bigot.
You kinda do though. If you were to move to Russia and loudly voice liberal opinions you will not have a good time. You might not have to adopt the local culture as your own but you can not go against it.
Thanks for the heads up!
Maybe, some people are for sure born assholes and are destined to go into middle management. Religious indoctrination can turn 100% of people into intolerant assholes because it is a ‘sin’ to do otherwise.
The Trick: do the crime the cops were going to do anyway.
Nothing will ever be as accurate as a 1:1 pointing device. Using a thumbstick sucks ass for general mouse-work why would it be suddenly good for FPS games? Thumbsticks are best at racing, platforming, flight sims, maybe RPGs and scrollers.
Right tool for the job.
Actually, lack of capacity is pro-petro propaganda. In Ontario demand and generation can literally double in a week and still be within the normal range. Using smart charging (not SmartTM) it would be easy to recharge commuter vehicles overnight in such a way that the baseload is increased making the grid MORE stable, not less.
Conservatives don’t want rights, rights apply to everyone.
Meanwhile, Windows requires you to buy a new license if you change your mouse.
But that kind of thinking doesn’t make the line go up!
