Every single new iPhone costs more than $1000 in Canada. Even the older/cheaper models cost more than $1000 after tax and environment fees. I knew this day was coming but damn.


I used to be all about nova launcher on my android phones. But they got purchased by a mobile data analytics company a while back. I don't trust them anymore and I don't recommend them anymore. Good thing there are loads of quality alternatives available.


What do you prefer?


I mainly stick to the stock launcher these days but I also go for phones that are close to stock android. I've heard good things about Niagara and Lawnchair if that helps.


> 16" WUXGA IPS Anti-Glare Display

> $689.99

That computer has neither an OLED display nor a price of $600.


Probably Ubuntu or Mint. They're friendlier for new users and handle a lot of the proprietary drivers for you. Something like Kubuntu, which uses KDE as its desktop environment, is closer to Windows than bog standard Ubuntu. I haven't tried gaming on either, but when I tried on Fedora I had no issue running Doom, Diablo IV, or Cyberpunk 2077.

I wouldn't recommend diving right in. There are guides that show you how to shrink existing disk partitions or boot off external drives so you don't break your existing system. Once you're comfortable enough, then you can consider making the switch permanent.


Yeah I realized that if I reorganize things a little I can have entire empty drive, so I'll just install Mint here and slowly do the migration over long period of time


There are a couple different streaming services that I subscribe to for different reasons but it gets harder to keep doing it.

CBC Gem - free public broadcaster, but I want to remove ads

Shudder - $50/year, cheap as chips

Netflix - cheapest way to watch WWE pay-per-views live

Crave - got a year for 50% off on a Black Friday deal. I don't know if I'll renew

TSN - only during hockey and football season

AppleTV - wouldn't subscribe separately, but they throw it in with my Apple One family plan

Honestly my Jellyfin server sees more action than any of them. The biggest reason to pay for streaming is live events, which I believe is why Netflix is pushing to get more into them. And I've been increasingly annoyed at how many things I want to watch are simply not available at all, or not available without subscribing to yet another service in the hopes they might have it. I'm planning a Sergio Leone spaghetti western binge. The only place I found what I wanted was usenet.


Does that apply to Boeing too? Letting poorly run companies fail runs the risk of causing national security problems when you're suddenly dependent on a hostile power for parts of your supply chain.


I am not sure what your point is. If Boeing went bankrupt, someone could buy them and the company would continue running. Also, Boeing is not the most important defense contractor in the US. They don’t make the F35 and they don’t make the new B21 Raider. The world is not going to end if Boeing disappears.


I can remember paying $130 CAD for some SNES games back in the day. The price differed from title to title and some of them were really expensive.


> Not have 4 seats AND having a lower range makes it a niche vehicle from a consumer sales perspective.

The base model only has two seats. The article explicitly states there will be an SUV conversion kit that you can purchase and install at home. There will also be an extended battery available. It's a very customizable vehicle.


Only answering for myself here, but when I already have 10+ lbs of camera gear in my backpack, a huge gaming laptop makes a big difference compared to an ultrabook. And I'm not talking about an excessive amount of gear either. One body plus one lens plus a couple extra batteries, etc, easily gets me to 10 lbs. And then I still have to get on a plane with it.


Conversely, there are way too many Apple haters who don't know or care why someone might make the choice to use a Macbook.
