That's why many stores give a cash rebate instead. Microbytes in Quebec is one of them. And many places only accept Visa and Masterdard due to Amex's higher fees
Not here in Montreal. I called 911 for a very depressed friend, and only the Ambulance showed up. But I called from my cell phone, not a land line, maybe that's the difference
I don't know about AAA, but here CAA is buying mobile charge stations. So they will be able to give you a quick charge so you can get to the nearest charger. I'm already seeing a lot more Model 3s on the road, and it's a very nice car. Yes it's expensive, but as with any new tech, it will go down in price. I can buy a Bluray player for 50-60 bucks now, they were ten times more expensive when they came out. So yes prices will trickle down. Besides, if you take in account the only maintenance you have to do on an EV is make sure the washer fluid is filled up, an EV makes sense in the long run.
Some of us are not using their ridicule low bandwitdh for pirating stuff. 15GB goes by pretty fast when you're using a *legal* streaming service (also known as Netflix & such). Besides, some games go easily over multi-GB downloads, PC or consoles (most recent console is a PS2, I'm more of a PC gamer). What about people streaming from Tou.TV or other channel's streaming services, in a legal way? it's CD-tax all over again because they are stuck in a model that doesn't work anymore... What about people using backblaze or any other cloud service? My DVR has a 3TB drive, and I stream a good percentage of it over my phone while not home, so my legally recorded OTA contents is gonna cost me is I stream more than about an hour and a half of free ATSC? And they're wondering why people are going illegal IPTV...
client and server can run on the same machine. For now I'm recording TV with a Media Center machine, but could do it with either MythTV or BeyondTV. The reason I chose MCE is for simplicity, and with a couple plugins can be used as a backend for any Kodi device
I'd wager that a really high percentage of people who buy those devices do it to stream illegal contents (and *paying* for those subscriptions). And it really does give KODI a bad name.
On the other hand, Apple (like any other manufacturer) tests updates with hardware they sell. They can't test every combination out there. I don't think they're doing it intentionaly, they just didn't test it, because they don't sell those screens
Cable bundles are made in a way to force people to get 2-3 packages to watch their shows. Even if some Cable providers offer a-la-carte packages, they are way too pricy. In Canada the TV providers have to provide a 25$/month package. But you still have to rent a box for each TV, not all channels can be added, so it still comes out to 50$/month.
Years ago I setup an external antenna, put a ATSC tuner in my BeyondTV machine, and hooked up all my HDTVs to the antenna. Don't have to rent anything, digital decoder for the old TV cost me 20$ on eBay, antenna was given to me. All I had to buy was a mast and the hardware to install it. Total cost was under 100$. total cost is 0$/month and I don't have to mess with unstable cable boxes.
They shot themselves in the foot, and are now aiming for the other one.
Exactly one of the reasons I use foobar2000 when adding albums to iTunes. Equalize using replaygain (meaning leaving the file intact), and then convert to itunes proprietary format (instead of using iTune's equalising stuff (don't remember the name, haven't used for a while)
Last machine I watercooled had heatsinks put over the VRMs (something like 15 cents a piece), and a big Noctua fan right in front of my Hard drives and SSD. But I agree, some people forget to sink the VRMs when they go water
Last time I downloaded that monstrosity on my iPhone 4S, it was a 113MB download. Seriously? 113MB for something that checks email? Last time I fired up my C64, I was running Skyfox in under 64K RAM (probably less, unless you bank-switched that 6510 you had 38K free RAM)...
I'm not a millenial, I'm a full-blown X-gen (born in 1971), and have been cord-free from 2009, (if it wasn't for the free cable TV my employer gave me for free, I'd be a cord-never. Even then, I had a VHS deck hooked up to an antenna for free TV. I've been recording and watching OTA for the last 10-15 years, and it's not that expensive. Buy an OTA antenna (not the preamplified shit), and some kind of DVR (channelmaster or build your own, One machine is running BeyondTV, I'm building a MythTV one), pair that with a Netflix subscrition and all the related online services, and I've got more TV hours to watch than I'll live.
"If you truly care about great photography, you own an iPhone"
Pretty sure I read that as "If you truly care about great photography, you own a Camera"
Yes, iPhones take great pictures (for a cellphone), but even the newer ones can't touch my old Nikon P50, let alone a proper DSLR. If the argument is the number of Mpixels, please hand over your geek card right now.
Future lower power version for sniping? that would be a sniper's dream come true. No trajectory to calculate, no wind to take into account, virtually unlimited distance compared to bullets, and *silent*
I'm pretty sure something in the Kw range should be enough to kill someone (or at least seriously incapacitate)
Funny, I still have one here, and after years of abuse, it probably needs a little realignment on the mirror (slightly out of focus). Yes, built like a tank.

And win95 boots with a 386 and 4MB RAM. Doesn't mean it's useable. Running XP under 512MB is punishment.
Yes, but even a coal plant is way more efficient than a ICE, thus less polluting than burning gasoline
Thermal management should prevent that from happening. Maybe it was holding the battery wrong?

Don't be too quick to judge, we elected Trudeau
Takes 2 minutes to change an iPhone battery, and they don't cost 90$.

Amen to that, a 12.99 OTA tuner with USB recording does the job (very slowly, but then 13$)

If it makes that sound and shoots blue ziz zags, it would be so cool...

exactly. owners should be held criminally responsible too.
