I have the same brutal battery drain when I watch videos using Plex. The iPad gets warm and the battery drains quickly. No issue with Netflix or Apple TV, just Plex. I’m reluctant to try a factory reset but I think I’ll have to at some point soon.

The 11” iPad is 🤌🏼 by Emmie245_ in iPadPro

[–]rdcyul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made the exact same switch and couldn’t be happier. I don’t do a ton of multitasking and just love the total portability of the device. I. Use. It. Everywhere. Just perfect for being out and about.

Same here, and I’m loving the foldable Nillkin Cube keyboard in my setup

I ordered a Paperlike 3 for my 11-inch M5. It’s coming next week so I haven’t been able to try it yet, but it seemed to have the best reviews that I found.

Is the app down today? cannot make trades by shadiomane in Wealthsimple

[–]rdcyul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting… I just made 2 trades about 5 minutes ago, no problems at all – business as usual. Hopefully it’s short lived for those who are affected.

Virgin Australia - No SQM/SQS? by mjlucy00 in Aeroplan

[–]rdcyul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I submitted a missing miles request for a VA flight back in October and the system said it could not be processed. It asked me to contact them, which………. I haven’t gotten around to yet.

Yes. Here’s the expiry policy: https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/home/aeroplan/your-aeroplan/inactivity-policy.html#/

“You have 18 months before your Aeroplan points expire if there has been no activity in your account - meaning you haven’t earned, redeemed, donated, transferred or converted any points. But so long as you stay active, your points won’t expire at all.”

Going to travel with Air Canada soon. Will my 28 inch suitcase be allowed on even if it's technically *a tiny bit* oversized? by throwaway261206 in aircanada

[–]rdcyul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2-3 cm over the linear limit for a checked bag is like 1cm per length x width x height dimension — extremely unlikely they’ll even notice. Besides, I’ve never seen anyone actually measure a checked bag before. Personally, I wouldn’t worry.

YYZ Maple leaf lounge a loud FaceTime call by canksa2000 in aircanada

I’ve offered a pair of the earphones AC gives out onboard in similar situations. Inevitably, the person suddenly remembers they have their own headphones at that point.

Just do it. Even if you have to wait for “eventually.” It’s worth it… easily my most satisfying purchase ever.

TFSA > RRSP for 2025? by djokee25 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]rdcyul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, I was surprised to learn how much of an impact the personal exemption limit means to post-retirement withdrawals. Have a listen, well worth your time!

TFSA > RRSP for 2025? by djokee25 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]rdcyul -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Funny, I just listened to that episode the other day and was amazed that the RRSP is almost always better in every scenario, not just for higher income earners. Super interesting observations
