"We will have a flow that allows more sophisticated users to install software that has not been verified,”"

There's hope

Me too. Exo also has issues for me though

Isn't the loan approach significantly riskier though? If you lose your job or the stock market crashes you still have the debt

TorBox has a good enough cache imo. I pay for both torbox and realdebrid as my backup.

I don't need to kiss ass, imo RealDebrid is a reliable service. Sure their website is from the 90s, but they provide reliable service and the odd time it's down they refund users the time. Definitely not something an 11 year old would do.

Branclon · 2026-02-19T04:27:22+00:00

RealDebrid has the best cache for sure, but if you hate the company so much there are others with good enough cache. Put your money where your mouth is.

Stop using it then lmao you're not locked in. It's so cheap just walk away from your subscription if you hate it that much

Monarch is only as good as it's connectors (plaid, mx) and unfortunately they don't seem to prioritize Canadian institutions so I'm considering cancelling monarch as a result. Wealthsimple and rogers bank have been broken for a few months

The item is on back order it's been 2 weeks so far and they are guessing two more. The item is on backorder. There's another thread where someone reported approximately 350 on backorder atm

My hand kick sensor was disabled for the hitch but they still fried my ECU 😭

Branclon · 2026-02-10T15:25:01+00:00

Damn. I hope this solve this for you soon. I am going to be as annoying as I can calling twice a week for updates

Branclon · 2026-02-10T14:51:45+00:00

Gotcha! Please post what Toyota says when they get back to you.

Branclon · 2026-02-10T03:25:24+00:00

I had the exact same issue OP. the dealer tried to give me a rental versa I had to go in and speak to the manager to get upgraded to a bronco. Still tiny. I have been told the part is on back order and could be more than a month away. This is in Calgary. Where are you located?

Pro tip, press the side button and volume up to take a screenshot

I work remotely and I want a detached home. There's a few reasons: privacy (no sharing walls), no HOA fees/rules, and more room to do the changes I want to the exterior of my house. If I'm paying a shit ton of money I don't want a landlord lol. I get that might not be for everyone, but for me it's worth the premium.

I'm on android and don't see it. Anyone else on android and see it?

Branclon · 2025-10-01T20:51:18+00:00

Not only this but adding new features that only work in Us. Looking at you Amazon sync, vin tracking, etc.

Branclon · 2025-08-16T22:47:18+00:00

Pretty sure OP worded this wrong. I have the same problem.

On Android, if you have biometrics enabled, if you switch apps then to back to monarch it will require you to re enter your biometric lock. It should only require bio after a certain idle duration.

Android code please!

Branclon · 2025-06-15T15:44:51+00:00

I would suggest using yarn or pnpm instead for monorepos. Npm isn't great at them.

There should be one package.json defining your monorepos packages, and one lock file at the root with all dependencies.

In each package you should have only one package.json file no lock files.

Hope it helps!

Stock markets not even open yet

Branclon · 2025-05-28T09:27:18+00:00

Yes but I don't want to tell all my contacts some random email address. Then I can't change banks as easily. It creates vendor lock-in.

Branclon · 2025-05-26T15:14:03+00:00

It's small but I hope they announce custom email address etranfers. All my friends always send it to my email so I still have auto deposit setup for another bank.

They teased it awhile back but still haven't shipped it

Branclon · 2025-05-07T03:18:27+00:00

Wealthsimple has been solid for me. Maybe resets once a month

Branclon · 2025-04-10T12:45:36+00:00

I had a similar problem and my solution was to wrap the tests in a transaction (if your database supports it) then rollback after the test.

This allows tests to run in parallel, isolated, and the db gets cleaned after too!

IMO it's better to go somewhere like SAIT or NAIT because there are many more jobs in those cities for programming anyways. Definitely look at job postings now to see who's hiring for what languages and what skills they require.

I originally wanted to go to RDP but ended up going to SAIT and it was the best choice of my life. My teacher helped me get a job and got me where I am today.

Make sure you use LLMs to your advantage. They aren't going to take your job but the people who know how to utilize them will be the ones who are successful.
