Funny how westjet wouldn’t deal honestly in negotiations until the union put their back to the wall over a huge holiday.

They were 100% counting on the government to impose a settlement to screw over the union.

Upgraded both of my systems, no issues at all.

Oh. Guess you are the exception. Good on you for escaping. Now you can give your cash, I’ll never be giving mine out to other than charities.

And they’re not an essential service. Let them take a massive PR and financial hit for screwing up peoples travel plans by not negotiating in good faith.

Word is that when a competitor tries to pop up westjet lowers fares and adds routes to kill them off then raises back up again when they have no viable competition.

I never give out cash. It will be misused most of the time. I donate to charities or food banks instead.

No issues upgrading either my main server or my backup (both are supermicro platforms).

Just got the latest iOS 17.4 public beta from Apple, and it fixed the bug that prevented my 2020 MYP from sending text messages from the car's infotainment system.

Finally....

They never intended to keep them.

100% if Apple didn’t have the easy return policy they would’ve never “borrowed” it in the first place.

Canadian here. Most of our banking is electronic in Canada and I just don’t physical currency much. I mostly stuck with using paper currency in Japan this past summer.

I couldn’t find a quick and easy way to easily convert my coins back to paper yen before the flight home so used up some of my baggage weight allowance with a big sack of Japanese coins. Any tips?

I don’t mind paying a percentage to do it but don’t want to count myself. If there’s a shortage of coins in Japan right now it’s because all your yen are in my luggage.

Banks here used to have machines to do it with Canadian coins but with few people using coins now they all got removed.

Plan B was to pour my 2kg sack-o-yen into a temple donation box and reap the good Karma for years to come.

I’ve got my mirrors set to auto fold at home due to tight parking in the garage. Wish the screen could have an option to automatically switch to camera view when they fold.

My home network is firewalled and reasonably secure (all permanent devices and IOT devices have MAC addresses tracked and registered) but I’d like to improve it even more:

  • Home devices (servers, printers, laptops, etc) with registered MAC addresses which can’t be accessed from my registered IOT devices or from unregistered guest devices.

  • QOS rules for all guest devices.

Using a HEX to run the network with unifi AP hardware.

Just wondering if anyone knows which SAS connectors on the SAS826A backplane control which ports?

On my current setup only ports 8-11 are working so got some troubleshooting ahead of me.

The online manuals show the connectors but unhelpfullyndont indicate which ports are being used for each.

Also, anyone know what the ribbon cable beside the SAS wires is used for on supermicro cables? I don’t recall seeing it on other SAS cables.

Just wondering what you do when the kids always want one parent over another?

Both of my kids are always about daddy (me). Even when mom spends time with them (2 and 5), they’re still asking about daddy all the time and it’s driving her crazy because they always want time with me rather than her.

I absolutely adore spending time with both of them. I’ll bathe them, put one of them to bed (mom gets the other one and we alternate), I help them get dressed in the morning, drive them to school and pick them up about half the time, change diapers and everything.

I’m very aware that you get 4 or 5 years with your kids then they’re not your little kids anymore and that part of all of your lives is gone forever.

I submitted my RPAL renewal back in September using the online system but still nothing.

I did get a letter stating if I didn’t renew my license I’d be in violation of everything though…. New gun control measures? Just don’t process license renewals in a timely fashion?

Ok it’s a wish list but I’m trying to check all boxes.

  • slim design
  • card ejector mechanism
  • AirTag integrated without a massive unsightly bump
  • MagSafe connection to iPhone
  • brown or black leather (optional but preferred over metal)
  • price $120 max

I haven’t found any options yet which check all boxes.

Getting my kids (2 and 5) out the door in the morning can be a challenge (you know it) so I decided to try and take something mundane and make it special. The “bumpy shortcut”.

Really it’s just a back laneway to my youngest’s childcare and a slight detour for kindergarten drop off, each with a set of speed bumps. But it’s different and had a name they can latch onto.

And so…. Everyone has had breakfast and got their shoes on, so we have time for the bumpy shortcut today!

Or (looks like we’re not focused enough today to get out the door on time, guess we can’t take the bumpy shortcut).

When I do the “shortcut” I make a game out of who gets the big bumps at speed and who gets a “little bump”.

They both love it. Try and take something every day and make it special for them!

I have to work, but the family is going camping without me. Wife asks which flashlight she can borrow to take with her and the kids.

I’m rocked to the core. Visions of Obi Wan just casually handing Luke a lightsaber to swing around in his house.

My flashlights only range between “hotter and brighter than the sun” to “wouldn’t be out of place on a police helicopter”.

Nothing in this range is remotely qualified for use by wife and kids, much less dealing with the batteries that power them.

The only solution is buy more flashlights. Maybe something that also uses AA batteries (le barf).

I don't care about earphones. Make a fridge or a washer, or a car that lasts a decade without paying for repairs to impress me. They make much more environmental impact than earphones.

Besides for every set of apple pods there’s 10,000 Chinese knockoffs with even less environmental responsibility in th or production.

"We've made a business decision we're not negotiating on" sounds an awful lot like "we don't negotiate with terrorists".

Is that what we are Steve-o? Reddit terrorists?

Fucker has lost everyone now, Digging the hell out of watching reddit fail because of mismanagement now. You don't double-down when you rely on your users to create your company.

What an idiot.

[-] [email protected] 64 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

As usual another insightful article from Ars. It’s nothing short of remarkable how cowardly and selfishly Reddit management is treating people.

To the reddits still closed: “Don’t open up again like we say, and we’ll just appoint new mods that follow our orders.”

Reddit management stands to gain tens of millions (Never work again in your life amounts of money) based on free content provided by users and free moderation provided by users.

Those users won’t see a single cent of that money. Not one cent. Ever. For all of their free labour that reddit takes for granted and brushes off concerns about. Reddit is the Nestle of the internet now.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

I am sorry to say this, but please be mindful of wearing Reddit gear in public. Some folks are really upset, and we don’t want you to be the object of their frustrations.

meaning: the users are our enemy and they hate us....

No Steve, we just hate management, that's who better not wear reddit gear in public... Not the rank and file who don't make the braindead decisions that kill platforms.

Just migrated here from reddit. Don't plan on going back. That platform is done.
