My laptop is 4 years old at this point. I spent $2400 on it before I wanted something future proof, and while it's still plenty fast with it's 10th gen Intel processor and 32gb ram, knowing that I could drop $500 and upgrade to the latest AMD or Intel chip makes me wish I could have held out another year and gotten the framework.

Given that we've more or less peaked in terms of non-gaming performance I probably won't be buying another laptop until this one dies but my next laptop will be a framework without question as well.

Lol the US will invade not because they are our ally, but because they believe they are the only ones that are allowed to attack Canada.

Google didn't buy HTC. They bought the parts of the company responsible for making the first Pixel phone.

HTC is still a separate entity. They just don't release 25 phones/year now, and all of their stuff is mid-range garbage.

New idea for Lemmy apps: drunk text mode. Between 10pm and 6am you have to answer a skill testing question before submitting.

My favourite Jellyfin feature is the one where it doesn't 'accidentally' reset my dashboard every few weeks to promote its garbage free streaming partners. I don't think I could give that feature up.

I have a $2 USB C cable I got off of Ali that I use to charge my laptop at 65W. It's rated for 100W but I have no way of testing it.

It's actually higher quality than any official apple cable I've used, although that's a pretty low bar.

The first USB-C Android phones were also only USB 2.0.

Although that was 8 years ago, when USB 3 was only just starting to become commonplace.

The argument was that Shaw and Rogers generally don't compete in the same markets. Rogers wanted Shaw to expand their presence in the west. Shaw wanted the deal because they are actually a horribly managed company and didn't want to spend the money needed to upgrade their ancient copper lines or roll out 5G towers. They are a shell of the company they were 10+ years ago.

The one area they did compete was in wireless, and they were forced to sell off Freedom Mobile.

Honestly as a Freedom customer this deal has been fantastic. Quebecor has done more in the past 6 months to expand their service than Shaw has done in the previous 2 years. Prices have dropped, they eliminated the nationwide data cap, rolled out 5G, and the overall quality of the service has improved substantially.

So on the surface it sucks because we lost a major player in the tv/home internet space, but they were rapidly fading into obscurity anyway. I would have seen Quebecor buy them in their entirety and merge them with Videotron, but as it stands not much of value was lost.

If I want to watch every game I need to subscribe to 3 different services and pay something like $60/month, and I'm in an out of market area.

It wasn't a ban. It was a tax designed to funnel money into the media companies that own our politicians.

It failed spectacularly because it shows that Canadians don't visit Facebook for news coverage, and that Meta was 100% correct to not pay for access to content that its users don't care about.

I know there is probably a historical reason but I hate how find parses its arguments.

Any other app would be fine --name or find -n.

Every time I use it I have to spend a few minutes checking the results to make sure that it's actually doing what I want it to do.

I worked at a grocery store and the produce department got a big load of fresh cilantro in. My eyes watered as I walked into the back room. I thought they had just done a shitty job of cleaning the floors.
