In Canada it's tap to pay for ~8 years now, never saw a QR code to pay. However when I go in USA, every stores is tap to pay, except one, there's one store in USA where there is no tap, it's Walmart, inconcevable.

It will be what? $1000? And the problem with Motorola in general is their update. One Android update, some security ones, and that's it.

Loblaws branded stores disappeared from QC years ago. In Québec, Métro is pretty expensive, like IGA or Provigo. The cheapest groceries are Maxi (yeah, it's Loblaws group) and SuperC (Metro group). But for me, all fruits/vegetable comes from local greengrocers, who also sell various ham/cold cuts and lot of cheese, sometimes for 50% of the price of groceries, and it's fresh cut. Else for some bulks there's bulk barn, and Costco, or sometimes even Amazon, a family box size cereal is $10.99 at IGA and the same one is $5.49 on Amazon.

I know, Maxi is part of Loblaws as I wrote, but unfortunately it is the cheapest grocery in QC, but I go more and more at SuperC now.

I'd use HEVC/H265 anyway, always, the best quality for its size. And AAC for audio

Boycot Loblaws, I went to Maxi, they have way better prices!

They are building thousands of condo at 1M$ and have a pikachu face when they realize it's hard to sell?

Frederic ,

agree, and it compresses automatically, can be useful for some backup

uhoh, and wait for the time when the user will update his BIOS, that resets TPM2, and at reboot bitlocker asks for the 48 digits key to decrypt hard drive, that the user never saved...

Frederic ,

it should be in your MS online account as someone wrote, but in case of, I always save it on a USB key, hidden somewhere. You can also print it, or take a picture of it with your phone. Because there is no way to get it back.

I have bought hundreds of stuff on AE, it's ok, especially for stuff that are less than $10 that local sellers sell for like $40 for the exact same thing. I got some items in less than a week in Caanda.

I'm using irplus, you can easily create/save/load IR files to emulates all possible remotes, takes them from https://github.com/irplus-remote/irplus-codes.github.io

I used ext4 for yeeeeaaaarrssss but now I'm using LUKS+btrfs, stable, encrypted.

I also saw some small rectangles batteries stacked

There's the same sign in NC/SC, plus the SOTB Pedro signs

At an old place of work, someone wrote an awk script that parsed strings using regex from a CSV file, and it generated JavaScript code automatically. It was ~5000 lines of awk script, it was beautiful. I understood it after a couple of weeks, I was in charge of maintaining it, super interesting.

It is funny because in something like 30 years, it will be children that will provide financially to their 80-90yo parents

Frederic ,

In my part of QC, the only "Loblaws" around me is a Maxi, it's pretty cheap certainly one of the most affordable groceries here. But I can go to a nearby SuperC just to boycott Galen.

Frederic ,

At least! Having this on screen is always ugly :
