I love this video too! I was in favour of the all-in-one pods (fooled by the ads), but after watching this video, I switched to powder, and I gladly saved a few more loonies.

Sadly, both manufactures and retailers are both pushing us to purchase dishwasher pods for more profit. I had found Canadian Tire discontinued a Cascade 1kg powder package (warn: US brand). I’m looking for a Canadian brand providing powder options now.

Thanks! Modified my text

I apology for my words causing confusion. I’m not arguing “even worse” vs “much worse”. I just want to emphasize Chrome is terrible at privacy.

They have a lemmy community /c/[email protected]

But yes, they should promote lemmy more

Chrome based browsers are even worse

IMHO “even worse” it not accurate here. Chrome based browsers are much worse, and they are always developing new technologies to exploit users’ privacy for profit.

I think the only viable option is to leave Chrome ASAP (for everyone). If one is unsatisfied with Firefox’s policy (we should!), then to choose a non-Chromium browser carefully

I’d suggest to have several tags, like [PR] = Product Recommendation [HS] = Help Needed, [Travel] [Food] etc.

Like https://lemmy.ca/c/bapcsalescanada they have [CPU] [GPU] [Monitor]

But I’m not sure how should we organize these tags

Thank you bearish!

I’d fly to Calgary, rent a car, and drive to Glacier National Park. If time permits, I’d also visit Banff National Park

Here are my two cents

I can put some extra payments on my mortgage and consider this a bond for a few years.

I think it worth some calculation about mortgage vs bond. When you pay extra mortgage, you’re saving your after-tax money from interest. When you invest in bonds, your interest earn is pre-tax. As you have kids, I assume you have some tax credit so your marginal tax rate is not so high.

Next is the US allocation.

I just learned that VOO in RRSP are exempt from 15% tax withholding. [1] Is your RRSP contribution enough for the US allocation you expect?

For me, I have some high PE, big cap stocks for Canadian market. My US allocation use for hedging CAD/USD, as my income is in CAD

My first thought was framework, they’re a transparent and small business and super linux-friendly. However, I just found that

Headquarters Address: 447 Sutter St, PMB 135, San Francisco, CA, 94108-4618, United States Trademark: Framework®, Registered in U.S. Patent and Trademark Office

Edit: I found a wiki page listing laptop brands, and there are several non-US brands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laptop_brands_and_manufacturers

I like Pop!OS, but fine to migrate

I think you don’t need to migrate if you find a laptop that works great in Ubuntu/Fedora/etc. IHMO most linux-related issues are caused by drivers, especially NVIDIA and WiFi. If the kernel is updated, then different distros should behave similarly.

AMD also claims that the Ryzen AI Max 395+’s integrated graphics, the Radeon 8060S, can beat the RTX 4070 laptop GPU by up to 68%

This sounds really promising. IMO previous NUC products are only targeting multimedia, and they performed poor at gaming. If a NUC could have at least mid-level gaming PC’s performance, it will be very attractive to those who have limited desk space

I would suggest every person to have a try. Even you feel SIFU too hard, you can only play 30 minutes.

This is the only game which gives me the feeling that I’m inside a 1980s Hong Kong Kung Fu movie. The only game.

I agree that Purdy had several great passes on Monday. I’m always confident in Purdy’s big plays. He can make big plays when the window is tight and pocket crashed fast.

Some Purdy-haters claim that these big plays are due to talented receivers(including Kittle) and every NFL QB can do that. As a Purdy fan, I think it’s obvious that Purdy is (almost) the most important role in these plays.

I’m okay for a loss today (and it’s close!), but I’m worried of the 2 ints. I hope Purdy won’t go into the downward spiral (1) Throwing INTs (2) Trying to prove himself with heroic but aggressive throws (3) More INTs

Do we have TLDR for this 14 min video?

At least we are losing with 2 drives (2 FGs) instead a funny 1-pt lose :-(

Well, our season ends with an interception and an exhausted defence team

Although we’re leading the game now, but I don’t feel so good now. We missed two easy interceptions. Wish that we don’t lose by 1-pt again

I hope the game clock could go faster

I was thinking that we may keep the game until 4th quarter if we can TD in the opening drive, but the goal-line fumble was the last nail in the coffin

As Ontario resident, I’m jealous of the heavy snow at Buffalo now
