Quite a bold move by STM here in Montreal, by giving free metro ride from June 24 to Sept 5 .
In total 7 metro station from when you can get a free metro ride back home if you live near a metro station.#ENCS393#merci@Val_Plante
Cet été, l’accès aux stations de métro suivantes sera gratuit les fins de semaine : Saint-Laurent, Place-des-Arts, McGill, Peel, Champ-de-Mars, Place-d’Armes et Berri-UQAM.
La meilleure façon de venir au centre-ville, c’est en transport collectif! 🚈🙌 #polmtl
We had a very compelling presentation in #ENCS393 Dr Rob about fake news.
Apparently Canadians' trust is getting low in news media, but this is
due to recent COVID situation that people do not want to have a
negative impact on their mental health! https://t.co/S8kDScfBqK
At #WWDC22, @Apple revealed a new #privacy feature called #safetycheck. Users whose personal safety may be threatened by domestic/intimate partner abuse will benefit from this feature. #ENCS393 I feel these victims require privacy.https://t.co/OvtvHDJ2ls
Very great presentation by my friend @SimonENCS393 & his group about #righttorepair at #ENCS393. Measures taken by EU in Europe are exceptional, I hope here in 🇨🇦 we see the same.
This tweet came up to my feed, is worth sharing.
The article in tweet is👌🏽@jesseadamsstein.
@Apple
EU charger standardisation is great news for addressing #repair#ewaste & consumption of portable devices. Shame it wasn’t recommended in the cautious PC #Righttorepair inquiry here.
Worth looking at EU product sustainability measures

I would love to show you the stats #ENCS393 about my home country. Where they have taken strong initiatives to build smart cities by providing all the necessary digital tools to #ruralIndia . I am very proud to see that this all is happening while committing to #digitalliteracy
Government of India is committed to the development of 'Digital Infrastructure'
🔸India's first global payment network #RuPay card is associated with 700 million Indians
🔸More than 3.56 crore candidates are authorized in the PM Rural Digital Literacy Campaign

The presentation by #group5 at #ENCS393 was thoughtful🧐.
Reading this interesting article we are currently in #partialautomation .
To fully automate driving we must overcome 3 key barriers: technology, regulation & public acceptance. @elonmusk@Tesla

As we see, #ENCS393 in class today about the scams .I would address you all about the scam that many new international students face in 🇨🇦, when they get a new SIM card. They receive a phone call from a fake @ServiceCanada_E official.
I almost fell for it: https://t.co/OkAXE5QVM8
#ENCS393 what do think about this AI tool ? Which could take a natural language input and turn in into a realistic image. #dalle2 . I feel it’s so cool 🫣😜Also,
What would you generate from this tool if you had it #ENCS393?

@ArshiaJavidan Apple doing this same chip thing would make us feel more than ever like we are at peak smartphone.
But I am waiting for Apple to announce how #iphone14 is not different from #iphone13 given that they have same chip🤥, #ENCS393
@ArshiaJavidan The gut reaction is usually yes from everybody that we are at PEAK smartphone. But personally I don’t think we are until the things in smartphone are getting slightly better and we are getting new features ,like under screen camera and fingerprint readers, etc. #ENCS393
@ArshiaJavidan The other part of the whole #IPHONE14samechip thing is that there is a chip shortage. I think A15bionic in
#iPhone13 is already powerful enough that it wont make much of a difference on benchmarks. #Apple to ship the old chip with slightly cheap phone seems fair with extra RAM.
@SimonENCS393 @ArshiaJavidan I completely agree with you guys about it , but this important tracking tool is becoming dangerous . They are being used to stalk people and even follow them home.
Check this out #ENCS393
