Marc Garneau was my role model, mentor, 30-plus year close friend and a brave and exemplary Canadian for us all. My heart goes out to his family. The world has lost a very good man.
@ellenroseman@loblawco@pc_optimum Bonus: their app now prominently shows at the top how many points were stolen in total.
PSA: set your account to earn only until you're ready to redeem. Even with 2FA, do not trust PC Optimum/Loblaws' non-existent security.
Galen's yacht is named "Bread" for a reason...
@ellenroseman@loblawco@pc_optimum So they've finally updated their app because they know their fraud & security is an absolute joke so they've finally added in the ability to set your account to earn only -- what the agent was supposed to do when my @pc_optimum points were stolen the first time.
@GreenPParking needs to fix their app. Beyond the sluggish responsiveness, it's sending notifications for parking sessions from weeks ago.
Another nice to have: submitting parking infractions along with photo evidence.
Over 11 years later, it's time to say goodbye to the original @ecobee Smart WiFi EB-STAT-02 thermostat. It's served me well.
In 2 days (2024-07-31), it gets disconnected forever & becomes an offline thermostat that still supports local control, scheduling, etc.
Onto the next!
The ridiculous oligopoly that is Canadian telecom: all the carriers have raised their smartwatch plans to +$15/month. My plan's only $40 so adding an LTE watch really doesn't seem worth it anymore.
Just passed 20,000 km in one of the @VinFastCanada VF8s that I'm testing.
Today's electric vehicles: updates, improvements, and new functionality thanks to over-the-air updates.
Either penny pinching or bad design: using a 25V capacitor on a 24VDC power rail. Finally failed after 10+ years. Replaced by high quality yellow caps.
Dead washing machine revived. Beats spending $300+ for an entire control board.
Happy Wednesday. I drove down to P5 to do some signal testing & discovered @YorkdaleStyle now has cellular coverage all the way down to P5.
As a telecom engineer, yay technology. As someone purposely trying to force No Signal & network searching, *shakes fists*
