So I’m going to put it a different way that you absolutely won’t appreciate but is the truth.

I’m a homeowner (single detached) that has a significant mortgage. Anything that happens to lower prices is going to negatively impact me so I don’t want change to bring property prices down now, but to have them go up as high as possible so I can sell down the road and make money.

That’s what you’re dealing with. It’s not defeatism, it’s people actively voting against and impeding stuff that will go in the direction you seem to think people want. Many do not want change in that direction at all.

Preparing for downvotes from those who don’t like cold hard truth.

So problem will never be solved then. Far too much vested interest in the status quo from existing landowners.

Nobody is going to build “affordable housing” unless you like living 10 hours commute from major cities. And as soon as someone builds a bullet train to shorten the commute to an hour the prices will skyrocket.

The best explanation I’ve heard is they have someone who intentionally makes a subtle yet inconsequential change for internet people to whine about.

The power button thing doesn’t matter. It’s not a PC, you never turn it off.

I love mine. Exactly the solution I was looking for. I was going to get a Mac Studio but it was too expensive and this meets all of my needs for a work desktop.

Mac Studio resale prices around here are just tanking right now.

The second one is the relevant one. You have to allow the computer to sleep when the display is off or it will still stay awake and drawing power when the display is off.

It’s meant for laptops you want to run in a closed position with an external display when plugged in.

A friend had this and it was because he had his display set to sleep never. So it was essentially on all the time.

Make sure that prevent computer from sleeping when display is off is also disabled.

Think I’d rather wait in line than give my biometrics to a big corporate airline.

Rogers CEO: “Because we can, and by the way fuck you”.

Government: “Ok then.”

And nothing will change until they make the one change that would terrify the monopoly. Fully allow non-Canadian telecom companies into Canada.

City Council: They could be playing safely in the streets for free, let’s make them play inside for fee!

Go by the cable seating fully or not.

If the cable doesn’t seat fully then there’s something in there you’re missing. If it’s seating fully it may actually be damaged. Take it Apple to service.

Looks more like trolling than anything else.

You’d need to be seriously stupid to post this junk on social media where authorities could easily track you down.

It’s possible to short, but the port pin outs show 2 or 3 pins between voltage lines and grounds.

It’s a pretty small port and a toothpick doesn’t fit well around the post in the centre if you want to get to the very bottom. I borrowed a very fine sewing needle from stepmom for port cleaning duties.

I did turn it off first though.

I want to run for government and my first platform objective will be to permanently end tax free status for churches/religions. They meddle too much in politics to not pay taxes.

We’ve got a heating upgrade planned.

Electric heat pump but with a gas backup/assist. I expect it will run electric most of the year but can’t gamble with only a single heat source for our family in our climate.

He’s a nut job. He won’t last a year before his pack of insane clowns implode.

Someone else for the government to order back to work?

I can’t vote NDP soon enough.

Mine wouldn’t seat fully and would pop out. Debris in connector. Cleaned out with a needle and it was fine again. Go by the USB C connector seating fully. If it doesn’t, there’s something in there impeding it.

I like Apple products because I have to deal with PC crap at work a lot of the time and I want my phone to work without ever having to spend any time at all on it.

That will take Dr. Emmet Brown and a heavily modified Delorean.

If you’re not urgent you’re 100% at the end of the line. I’ve been at both ends, the front and the back. The front sucks way more. They bring you in fast if you have a potentially fatal condition. And it sucks.

I know waiting sucks too but better than being close to kicking off. Public clinics around here (BC) are generally reasonable if you don’t have a family MD. Go in first thing in the morning to get on the list and they’ll call you back an hour or so before they can see you so you don’t need to wait in the lobby all day.
