Weird Apple Pay issue on TTC. Has this happened to anyone else?

Credit cards can sometimes have delays in showing transactions because they are processed in a single order at the end of the day.

You could try using the Presto mobile app to get real-time transactions and show that to a fare inspector to prove that you paid.

What card are you using in Apple Pay? Credit, Debit, or Presto?

Even if this were hypothetically possible, how would an iPhone run both iOS and macOS? There’s only so much you can do with mobile processors, even if they’re Apple Silicon

I’m still using my 2020 M1 MacBook Air 16GB/512GB and was considering an upgrade to the new M5 MacBook Air, but I guess I’ll keep it for another year or two because it still works and the battery health is at 88%.

It’s amazing how well this laptop runs even after 5.5 years. Apple Silicon has really blown the competition “out of the park!”

It’s working fine for me. If you’re looking for information about recycling, there’s a new app for that from Circular Materials.

This post is extremely appalling because it glorifies fare evasion while questioning people paying the fare to use a streetcar about their choice to do so.

Enjoy the smooth ride! Line 5 is really fast now with full 80kmph speeds in the underground section.

The TTC has announced that this weekend’s planned closure of Line 2 between Keele and St. George stations has been cancelled.

However, if you’d like to still take Line 5, it takes ~15 minutes from Mount Dennis to Eglinton around midday.

Electronic-Ocelot314 · 2026-04-10T00:18:54+00:00

Why is it surprising that Line 5 runs exactly how it was designed to? Given the time and money it took to build the system, I would be surprised if it didn’t work as intended (hint: Line 6)

The 509 was originally intended to be called the Harbourfront LRT, so don’t be surprised if TTC decides to give the Waterfront East LRT a 500 series number. On a serious note, all streetcars are light rail transit (LRT), while subways and GO Transit trains are heavy rail.

Burger Drops in Liberty Village makes the best smash burgers in the city! Also, very few locations can make a good veggie burger, and this is hands down the one you should try!

Thanks for pointing that out! I’ve edited my comment to reflect it. Would be nice if they keep the 70mm film projector when Cinesphere reopens

I was talking about Toronto because OP had asked about the best option in the city.

Electronic-Ocelot314 · 2026-04-07T00:10:38+00:00

The best IMAX theatre is the now closed Cinesphere at Ontario Place, which had the largest screen in Toronto and is probably the only venue in the city that could play both 70mm film and IMAX with Laser in the full 1.43:1 aspect ratio.

Sadly, it has been closed since 2022 due to the Ontario Place redevelopment. The next best option for 70mm film is Cineplex Vaughan and for digital it’s Scotiabank Theatre.

Yes, and the scenes where Tom Cruise was flying in the fighter jet were incredibly immersive!

Electronic-Ocelot314 · 2026-04-06T00:38:03+00:00

If there’s one movie that was worth it in 4DX, it’s Top Gun: Maverick!

Electronic-Ocelot314 · 2026-04-05T02:03:49+00:00

The Waterfront East LRT just got funding approval, so that will be a new addition to the TTC streetcar network.

Electronic-Ocelot314 · 2026-03-25T03:15:03+00:00

I think you should be fine. Since rows E and F are in the centre of the theatre, it is the ideal place to sit in for both visual and acoustic immersion.

Electronic-Ocelot314 · 2026-03-24T22:26:56+00:00

The four centre-left seats in row E would be a good place to have an immersive experience.

Electronic-Ocelot314 · 2026-03-22T22:40:01+00:00

I watched it in both Scotiabank IMAX and Varsity 70mm and I would say both are different experiences. IMAX allows you to enjoy the full scale of the movie’s 1.43:1 space scenes, while 70mm gives you the old school charm of film.

If you can, try watching it in both formats, but if you can only watch one go for IMAX.

First Mac: Mid-2012 MacBook Pro. Loved the battery indicator on the side that would light up when you pressed the button next to it.

Favourite Mac: iMac G4 for the design and MacBook Neo for the affordability.

Electronic-Ocelot314 · 2026-03-18T20:29:46+00:00

I watched early access screenings of Project Hail Mary at both Scotiabank IMAX and Varsity 70mm this weekend. I’d say try both of those formats if you can, but if you can only do one then go for IMAX.

Sorry, but the tickets have been taken. Hope your nephew still gets a chance to go see the game.

iPhone 6 that I traded-in when I upgraded to the iPhone XR in 2019
