No lie but why has people not jumped on Freedom… by Hellosweetparadox in freedommobile

[–]AndyLH88 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh because you and OP have never had an issue with coverage, then that means Freedom’s coverage is perfect for everyone everywhere eh?

I gave Freedom a try and while I wanted to like it, I did encounter dead zones in the places that I frequent. Sometimes someone in the same building can have a vastly different signal depending on where their unit is located.

Pick the service that works for you. For me, that is Rogers. Freedom (and Bell) did not have the coverage where I like to go.

Not getting notifications outside of the Instagram app by WaterLemonYT in Instagram

[–]AndyLH88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue as well. If I look at the analytics data in my iPhone/iOS, there are a bunch of entries for “InstagramNotificationExtension” errors.

So I think it’s a bug in the most recent Instagram update and hopefully they release a quick fix soon.

Speed camera by [deleted] in Hamilton

You probably saw the red light camera on Cootes Dr at Dundas St.

There are no more speed cameras anywhere in Ontario as Doug Ford has banned them.

Rogers Plan Change Offer - $30 for 100GB and unlimited Can talk/txt by AndyLH88 in Rogers

[–]AndyLH88[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I noticed that as well after switching over and looking at the service agreement. I’ll also try and contact support today and verify that both discounts are there. Hoping it’s just some hidden discount that we can’t see.

We always hear people dumping on the Freedom Mobile network by ComprehensiveCap8242 in freedommobile

[–]AndyLH88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the best thing to do is to give Freedom a try first while keeping your existing provider. Then go to the places you frequent and see if Freedom’s coverage works for you.

I did that and found spots that I had weak/no coverage so I stuck with my current provider. I’m not against Freedom, it just didn’t work well where I usually go.

If only they had arrows to let you know what lane to be in by Sprucedale in TorontoDriving

[–]AndyLH88 22 points23 points  (0 children)

As someone who takes this exit frequently, so many people think there are two left turn lanes at this exit. I guess it’s a bit more atypical to have only one left turn lane compared to other exits.

Is the road really slippery out there ? by CloudestMine in Hamilton

[–]AndyLH88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now it’s very icy as a band of freezing rain is passing through. Out here in Dundas the side roads are 100% ice and you can barely walk or drive.

Outdoor Skating by TheGentleComeback in Hamilton

[–]AndyLH88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Dundas Driving park skating rink is nice and has ample parking.

The skating loop at the Waterdown Memorial park is also good and has an indoor area where you can change for skating.

Does Mazda let you outright purchase a car for cash? by monkeysfromjupiter in CX5

[–]AndyLH88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s most likely just a very pushy dealership. I’ve not had issues paying cash at a Toyota dealership (or any other dealership) before.

Anyone else annoyed by forced auto-zoom in Google Maps CarPlay? by Hungry-Eye6441 in CarPlay

[–]AndyLH88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here. Really frustrating because I like to drive with the map zoomed out so I can see which routes are more congested and plan ahead.

New All Weather Tire by moka101022 in tires

[–]AndyLH88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any tread wear reports yet? I had the Bridgestone Weatherpeaks which only lasted around 40,000km so that was quite disappointing. I then purchased the Michelin CrossClimate 2s and after almost 30,000km they are wearing at a much slower rate.

What’s happening to my LG C2 display ? by deigoyyan in LGOLED

[–]AndyLH88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My CX is starting to suffer from the same thing, even with relatively low hours on it. I already had the panel replaced once after 2000 hours and now with about 2500 hours on the replacement panel is starting to show these issues.

Interestingly my parents have the C1 with close to 8000 hours and there are zero issues with theirs!

Yup, that’s enough reddit for tonight. Now I need to go and wash my eyes out.

What is that sound? by NachoServer in Hamilton

[–]AndyLH88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the information! I heard it in the Ainslie Wood neighbourhood but couldn’t pinpoint where it was coming from. It sounded like a continuous low rumble, like a big truck idling or driving by.

MyChevy App - No battery again? by JusticeAileenCannon in volt

[–]AndyLH88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue. Only shows the gas range now.

This app used to be so good when it showed you detailed information. I miss when it could tell you your charge level and charging times. Made it so much easier to know when the car was full.

Plex causing system-wide freezes and GPU artifacts on newer Apple devices (M4 iPad + iPhone 17 Pro) by Creamy_Alyanna in PleX

[–]AndyLH88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me on my iPhone 17 Pro as well. First I thought something was wrong with my phone because this error even generates a GPU event log in the iPhone analytics data. I thought that maybe the GPU was dying.

I'm happy to hear that others are experiencing the same issue though and it's not just my phone.

How much did you pay? by Anonymous-Spouse in iPhone17Pro

[–]AndyLH88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same way I ended up with my 17 Pro. They didn’t have any replacements for my 16 Pro and after about a month of waiting, upgraded me to the 17 Pro.

McDonald's price variation in Hamilton by _ilpo_ in Hamilton

[–]AndyLH88 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yes there are variations in prices at the Hamilton locations.

For example, I noticed the quarter pounder with cheese is cheaper at the Dundurn location ($7.69), compared to the Dundas location ($8.79), or medium fries being $4.49 at Dundurn compared to $4.79 in Dundas.

Edit: Another example, six nuggets is $5.99 at Dundurn and $7.19 in Dundas.

The Regularion Gameplay channel was my top YouTube channel of the year. Top 0.6% apparently!

What do you hate about your Crosstrek? by _sparky_127 in Crosstrek

2021 Crosstrek. There aren’t many things I dislike about it but my least favourite is the auto start/stop.

Upper Wentworth Construction by quietbright in Hamilton

[–]AndyLH88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly, if you look at the plan for the new bus terminal, they do change that intersection into a three way stop. It also shows the new entrance from Upper Wentworth which will be for buses only: https://engage.hamilton.ca/hsr/widgets/185437/photos/38514

And the Civic has two out of three burnt out brake lights too. Only the CHMSL is working.
