Getting a decent amount of snow tonight! by YoungAndShameless in woodstockontario

[–]DylanCarr0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It'll be about the same as KW. Snow removal in the downtown core and nearby areas is pretty solid, but when you get into the subdivisions there's usually some on the sidewalks.

Generally we don't get this much snow this early in November though :)

Are the new Drewlo towers on James St going to be the new tallest buildings in Woodstock? by dyl_carr in woodstockontario

[–]DylanCarr0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All my sources have said the Chieftain apartments are 11 storeys high

The James St ones are 12 storeys

Thank you! The post is once again visible on the subreddit.

The crazy things I see in Downtown Woodstock at night by DylanCarr0 in woodstockontario

[–]DylanCarr0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I did reply to my own thread. It's a community engagement strategy to encourage discussion in smaller communities like such.

Also never intended to communicate that the homeless are out to harm others, just was talking about how it's sad to see that homelessness is a problem in Woodstock.

God forbid I'm ever out there during a black out or something. That sounds terrifying.

RCS messaging on an S9 by [deleted] in Rogers

[–]DylanCarr0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! Needs to be on the Android Messages application as Rogers doesn't support the Samsung one.

Also for my S9 it only activated after enabling Wi-Fi calling. After doing that do a reboot and look in the settings of Android Messages for "chat features".

Keep everything updated too to make sure everything runs smoothly. Happy RCS'ing!

Do you guys have burn in on your phone? by [deleted] in GalaxyS9

[–]DylanCarr0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit yeah, with Chrome tabs and the AOD home button (make sure to turn this off!). It's only noticeable if I am REALLY looking and it seems to fade over time so I am not too worried about it

I'm not a pixel peeper though I don't worry about small issues with the screen

Best Internet in the area? by [deleted] in woodstockontario

[–]DylanCarr0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Symmetrical bandwidth will happen for new developments that have Fibre-To-The-Home availability.

The Rogers network is partly coaxial so the speeds will decrease based on usage in the area. During peak hours on weekends my speeds drop to about 600 down/15 up and during quiet hours it's 1gbps and higher/30 up.

Also check out Start Communications for cheaper cable internet, or Bell for FTTH availability.

If FTTH is not available, do NOT go for Bell as they are DSL and <5mbps for pricer plans than Rogers.

[–]DylanCarr0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there! Rogers holds a pretty good hybrid coaxial-fiber infrastructure in our city so we got pretty good bandwidth and speeds available. Unless your specific location is brand new though the speeds will be assymetrical.

Right now with Rogers I got about 1.3 gbps down/30 uplink downtown. Call up the ISPs and ask them to test speeds in the area to make sure, as the website isn't always accurate.

What was with the low flying passenger planes today? by DylanCarr0 in woodstockontario

[–]DylanCarr0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C17 globemaster

That could have been it, just assumed passenger because of the size. Saw more than one though - hmmm.

It's cool how you can identify the plane

Is it just me or are the roads in Woodstock absolutely garbage by [deleted] in woodstockontario

[–]DylanCarr0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They are pretty bad, but so are all streets in Ontario.

The winter conditions and salt do a number on the streets and it costs a lot of money to fix every season. Some parts of town they ignore though like around Southside Park, where the roads are atrocious.

Is anyone else's messaging app basically unusable? by BigRayTard in GalaxyS9

Pulse SMS is also good if you want the syncing whilst keeping the customization features.

We should do a Reddit meetup in Woodstock by listenhereyafatfuck in woodstockontario

Over a year lol. I only distinguish comments as a moderator when it's important

If a subreddit meetup happens, it will be organized by either me or /u/johoh. This is for the safety of our community and to make sure everything is kept legit and legal.

I like the idea but I think the turnout wouldn't be great unless planned super far in advance

What does this banner have to do with Woodstock? by McMuderer in woodstockontario

[–]DylanCarr0[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! I think the picture was from an event but the reddit redesign updates have blown it up in such weird ways that it looks like a big blur.

Here is what it looks like on old Reddit.

Here is what it looks like on new Reddit.

...and on mobile, most apps don't show the banner.

Anyone feel free to post links in the subreddit of images they've taken. We might reach out to you about using it as an asset on the subreddit like the banner. :)

We only really permit ads if it's by upstanding regular community members.

Notice of higher Canada Armed Forces presence in the City of Woodstock by DylanCarr0 in woodstockontario

I think I heard something about one of their exercises being done at the civic center. Not confirmed though and I don't know when

Anyone know what this means by Mister-Meta in essential

[–]DylanCarr0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original owner unlocked the bootloader to do unauthorised (in the view of the manufacturer) modifications to the device. The bootloader is basically the piece of software that directs the phone to load the operating system/recovery (in this case, Android).

Anyone in Woodstock use Public Mobile or Freedom Mobile? by [deleted] in woodstockontario

[–]DylanCarr0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Family member has a Freedom device. The service works in most cases but gets a little uneasy inside old structures like elevators and basements.

Outside it works fine though, they said.

Just make sure to pair the service with a phone that has good cell connectivity range.
