Same - just as I started watching he was saying the democrats had weaponised law enforcement against their political opponents, on the day that said he would crack down on political opponents in universities. (I know he’s abusing law enforcement in many other ways - it just struck me that the that the university protest crack down was one of the big stories of the day. Such a stark example of “every accusation is a confession”)
You are correct in all your assumptions and your assertion that the Standard layer will update. It didn’t happen immediately and I just assumed it was another, independent, layer. I just went and double checked and the “bad” things I deleted yesterday are indeed gone from the Standard layer. Thank you.
Thanks for trying! But, I really need 32GB - I want to upgrade a machine that currently has 4x4GB. I know it seems wrong and I’ve thought about doing a whole new motherboard, CPU and RAM but that very quickly gets to several hundreds of dollars and puts more stuff in the ewaste bin. I’m confident I can easily get a few more years from it with $50(ish) worth of RAM.
The SSD is for another project - repurposing the motherboard and CPU that used to do the job of the 16GB one above :-) I’ll probably go for a new SSD because they do wear out eventually and someone else pointed me one at a Canadian supplier for $20.
Thanks for the suggestion. I know about PC Part Picker. The sites they list mainly sell current technology, which makes sense but it’s not what I’m after. This stuff is for an old PC. It’s not urgent - I’m watching FB marketplace for used memory and also considering buying direct from China, with slooow shipping, for the SSD and cable.
I guess I should have stated the obvious - that I understand none of this stuff is going to be made here. I’m looking for local resellers.
I found Memory Express - 32GB of DDR3-1600 memory from them is $120 for Kingston or $220 for Corsair. I’m assuming they won’t price match because the kit I’m looking at on Amazon is a different brand. I’m willing to pay more to buy from a Canadian reseller, but 3x price plus shipping??
I also live in an area with frequent power disruption. We have a backup generator. It is more than enough to power the electronics in our propane gas range, but nowhere near enough to power an electric range.
I’m not lawyer, but my reading of it says they can use that to at least get you targeted ads. Is that not a worry, or is it not new?
It’s very close to what I imagined when he first started talking about the Riviera of the middle east - but I have to admit, I didn’t have the statue and I had more golf. I obviously didn’t have the bearded belly dancers either - I guess I expected them to review it before release.
It might be the correct deal, but it worries me. I can only imagine the people saying he wants to be a dictator are those that want a Putin style election to install another puppet. I know they have to have elections at some point - it’s just a worry!
Oh, wow. I expected someone to correct me and say it will be much sooner due to the size of the two galaxies but didn’t think I was that far off.
Yep - me too. I had to go to our “mainframe room” where we had our only Sun workstation - the only thing that would run the first versions.

So, if my old brain did the math right, it’ll get here in about 2.5 billion years?
Oh shit. I’m not a citizen yet, only a PR. Was planning to apply as soon has I reach 3 years. I’ll struggle with that. I’m Australian, so I was born with an allegiance to the British monarch, but to actually say it - urgh.
Yep, it’s just evil to their own staff. It seems every time I have to call some call centre these days, when I finally get to a human the conversation starts something like “I’ve just spent 40 fucking minutes trying to get to talk to a person and I’m really pissed off. I know that’s not your fault and I apologise in advance if I struggle to contain my frustrations while we talk. Now…”
When you say “applied in the other direction” - I read that as granting, rather than revoking, citizenship. Which doesn’t really make sense? I assume you mean an evil government revoking citizenship of good people, rather than this proposal for a good government to revoke the citizenship of an evil person.
It sucks that you’re right.
That was my first reaction too. Did you read the text of the petition? What he’s doing isn’t just politics, he’s actively working to erase Canada. There must be some level of anti-Canada behaviour (really bad phrasing, but I can’t think of anything better and you know what I mean) that warrants revocation of citizenship?
From a consumer perspective it’s a good solution for internet in remote areas and Ontario has a lot of remote areas. I used it for a couple of years when my only other option was a local wireless provider with an expensive high speed plan with advertised downloads up to 10Mbps, but actually never got anywhere near that. I’m lucky that I now have fibre and my starlink hardware is collecting dust in the shed.
