  • Except we do. Canada’s military isn’t large, but it’s quite modern. We’ve been a significant part of training Ukraininian forces on how to use NATO equipment. I think you’re a bit confused.

    And while I don’t agree with our participation, Canada hasn’t been a peacekeeping corp in a long time either, having been a player in the war in Afghanistan and Syria. We’ve pretty consistently assisted American troops in these areas. Canada is a member of NATO, and a developer of arms and munitions as part of the indistrial military complex. We aren’t reliant on an island across the ocean for our own protection.





  • The GPU notwithstanding, there’s actually a pile of scientific usecases that this kind of power and portability would be very useful for. The dual network ports also provide a nice means of connecting to lab equipment that primarily communicates over ethernet, while still maintaining an easy way to have a reliable connection to a network.

    It’s almost definitely not targeted at this use-case, but I could certainly see it being looked at for it.










  • The company providing this promotion has a set budget that covers the “cost” of the giveaway. Since this is a monthly service, that budgetary constraint is likely just the value of 6 months times the number of people they feel is acceptable to lose money on in the efforts of a marketing campaign… Once that allotment has been used, by way of people redeeming the offer, they end the promotion.

    The people who redeemed the code or whatever credit to their account is still going to get 6 months of that service. There’s no threshold that has to be met in order for everyone to get it.
