- Comment on Please ban data caps, Internet users tell FCC 4 weeks ago:
I understand it could make sense for 4G/5G telecom as transmit towers can be saturated etc if people download terabytes and terabytes every day. But for at home cable? having a cap makes no sense really…
- Comment on Looking for TV recommendations 5 weeks ago:
Canadian? then …redflagdeals.com/costco-hisense-2022-2023-2024-4…
With your budget, take the 75U78N at Costco, 2yr warranty + you can extend to 6yr for 150$ I think.
Hisense especially the 78N (and 88N) have absolutely beautiful stunning picture, maybe one of the best for the buck, check the review www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/hisense/u7n-u7-u75n it handles DolbyVision, HDR, 144Hz, etc
It does not use a shitty OS like roku nor ads like Samsung. You may need to have it plugged on internet for 1st boot and FW update, but after this you can obviously disconnect it, plug your HDMI device and that’s it, it will act as a dumb monitor.

TOS of course, will never skip it
- Comment on Elon Musk’s misinformation machine made the horrors of Southport, a small town in the UK, much worse 3 months ago:
Imagine in Canada, where real news media like TV, newspaper, etc, cannot be used by Meta (FB, IG, etc). So in a Canadian facebook feed, you only have conspiracy and right-wing false info, that’s it. For the people who took their info from FB, they are flooded by fake/alarming news.
- Comment on Why does Asia scan to pay when the rest of the world taps? • The Register 5 months ago:
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.
- Comment on Chinese network behind one of world’s ‘largest online scams’: Vast web of fake shops touting designer brands took money and personal details from 800,000 people in Europe and US, data suggests 6 months ago:
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.
- Comment on Almost all Chinese keyboards have severe security flaws that can be (mis)used for mass surveillance, report reveals 6 months ago:
yeah, it’s a feature required by CCP
- Comment on Low tech DHCP 7 months ago:
Superb, really!
- Comment on Consumer first; Citizen second 8 months ago:
I absolutely hate it for medias like music or movies. Back in the time, you had your CD and DVD/BD in physical format. Now there’s music you about cannot buy to own. Same for old movies, you cannot find them physically, only rent them on youtube for instance.
