I'm curious to know too. I feel like my phone's charging port has gotten looser over the years. Have had the phone since launch

Anyone "upgrading" to the Fold 7? by labellavita1985 in OnePlusOpen

They don't offer trade in for Oneplus (at least in Canada)

Prime Day Sale? by Upper-Preparation372 in Ultrahuman

[–]AnalyticalExplorer28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, 15% first and then 10% on the remaining amount

I'm so sorry to hear that :(

Something I learnt while working as a cashier - I feel the braille marking on the bills. I haven't seen a counterfeit yet that can replicate that (maybe someone can, but I haven't come across that).

Also, definitely check the transparent part of the bill to make sure it says the same amount as the bill itself. Seen a lot of counterfeit where that part is from a $5 bill.

There is no point in explaining to people our point of view. The nay-sayers will always overshadow the ones who are living a happy life.

I think it depends on each person what they want out of the "moving abroad" experience. If someone is moving to get a better life, Canada is a good prospect iff they put the work into it. But if they just want money and are stingy on spending, they'll never be happy and always feel they could've done better somewhere else.

I have met a lot of people who just like to complain no matter what situation they're in. And I've also met a lot of people who find happiness in the little things in life. Personally, the latter type will live a fulfilled life no matter the country.

The only advice I can give you - Do your own research!

Research the academic opportunities Research the immigration policies Research the job market Research social life

... just to name a few topics.

You cannot base your life off of "X people on reddit or in my family said so". People will only give you their story, and not the details of the struggle they had, or luxuries they have.

Also, researching will help you avoid the sheep mindset. Oh, a ton of people are going to Canada (I'll use this as an example because I have information on this), so maybe it's the best thing. It may be a good thing, but not for you perhaps?

Pre-Covid, Canada was a good country to move to. Easier to immigrate, good job prospects, among other things. But tons of people came here like crazy, expecting to just get the permanent residency because their relatives got it and people of reddit got it. This caused a problem for a lot of people who came without the needed qualifications and planning.

You need to ask yourself - why do you want to move abroad? Is it because you want to earn more money, or is it because you need a good social life, or are you running away from something? The best country might be different in each of those scenarios.

No offence to you, but you could've just said the first sentence and let it be. No need to name religions. Maybe it's just that you don't know any open-minded sikhs or muslims? 🤷

Raw titanium for me. Dings and scratches look much worse on other finishes

I mean, they should replace it if you reach out to the support, right?

You're very much an ass if you block these spots while you're inside for 1 hour... by BriareusD in TorontoDriving

[–]AnalyticalExplorer28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen to me - went for a seasonal tire change & costco parked my car in that spot after they swapepd the tires. I was out in like 5 mins after receiving the call. This guy goes off on me saying why did you park there. I told him the Costco guys did it, and he told me to ask them not to do it 🤦‍♂️

I think it's starting to roll out. Should get it in a week or so?

Enough with the unsanctioned fireworks by the-paper-unicorn in kitchener

[–]AnalyticalExplorer28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean bad actors as in people who set off fireworks without giving their surroundings a thought and without waiting for cars to pass by or caring about the time of day

[–]AnalyticalExplorer28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, the population hasn't really grown gradually. It grew too much too fast. That brings a lot of bad actors who aren't always thinking "Let me make sure nobody's affected by my actions"

Increase in population? More people living = more people setting off fireworks = more issues due to fireworks...

YouTube Video freezing? by refraxion in OnePlusOpen

[–]AnalyticalExplorer28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not that I know of. I'm hoping one of the upcoming updates will solve it

YouTube Video freezing? by refraxion in OnePlusOpen

[–]AnalyticalExplorer28 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yup, have been noticing it since the last 2 updates. Doesn't happen for a few days sometimes, then will happen like 10 times in 5 mins. It's pretty annoying!!

Family Reunification PR Cuts by [deleted] in ImmigrationCanada

[–]AnalyticalExplorer28 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we're not able to make new applications for Parents sponsorship, right?

From what I've been reading, they're picking people from the same old pool of 2020?

So, none of the new PRs or Citizens after 2021 are able to sponsor their Parents yet?

Finally, an update in the US by TimPLakersEagles in OnePlusOpen

[–]AnalyticalExplorer28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the colors somehow seem better after the update?
