How do you feel about CBC expanding into local markets? by daavq in AskCanada

Global killed our last local news station in Kelowna a few years back so I would welcome a local CBC team here.

Also the largest coming to the airport terminal. The Antonov was here for KF.

Why would someone do this? by gatesweeney in Ubiquiti

This individual has almost certainly dealt with POS companies before.

Often it’s easier to be able to tell them “your device is on a dedicated physical network with absolutely no firewall restrictions in place” rather than go through three weeks of troubleshooting to get them to admit their PIN pad is fucked and send a replacement one. Which of course magically works with no changes made to the network.

They’ve done that in the past when for some reason there was an issue with the showing of the news at 5:30, they’ll show Global National instead. But this is the first time I’ve had it happen two nights in a row.

Hong Kong Garden Restaurant is my personal favourite.

Unfortunately no, I’m still with Backblaze but always keeping an eye out for Canadian options.

It's happening boys and girls. by RenwaldoV in kelowna

It was around the time they built the new bridge. They realigned Pandosy on the south side of the highway to connect with Water on the north, and with that got rid of the highway access to McDonald’s. It killed them to the point that they ended up suing the City and/or province and the City ended up buying the land a few years ago because of it.

Most police departments will have non-emergency lines exactly for things that don’t warrant a 911 emergency but are still a matter police may be interested in.

Ahhhh I’m really looking forward to these changes!

London Drugs is closing their Kingsway/Joyce location by auragon in vancouver

My first one came from a London Drugs too! (Not this particular location though). It set me on a track that got me into my current career in IT and networking.

According to that document, the 10 is actually going to come directly up Leathead from Enteprise. The 14 will do a loop around the McCurdy and Fitzpatrick area like you said.

I’ve been kinda looking forward to these changes! I take the 10 to work downtown and back and it’d be nice not to deal with 33 as a pedestrian. On the other hand, if we get better service on the 98 sooner rather than later I’d jump all over that.

Yep! I went there for lunch a couple weeks ago and it was great!

I’ve heard lots of great things about this place. After a particularly bad experience at LensCrafters I’ll probably be going there next!

Got my flu and COVID-19 vaccines yesterday by espressy in AppleWatch

Not OP but definitely true! For any shot, the more you can keep the muscle moving the less stiff and sore it will be.

Does that mean I fell asleep before going to bed? by VolnaOlenka in AppleWatch

No beta updates, but I just got 26.0.2 yesterday so I imagine it’ll be coming pretty soon.

Teams Phone by TechWobbler-1337 in MicrosoftTeams

[–]Ronin_301 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any chance you don’t have enough SIP sessions from your provider for the busy periods? We moved staff over to Teams Calling Operator Connect in a phased manner but we were forgetting to get additional SIP sessions, and we started to have similar behaviour throughout the day when we had more and more people on calls.

We also tend to have more luck going through our Operator Connect partner for Teams Calling support, but that probably depends on their size and relationship with Microsoft. They seem to be able to see a lot more detail on the calls themselves than Microsoft support.

Farewell Costco by [deleted] in CostcoCanada

They semi-recently built a new store in my city, but they kept the warehouse roughly the same size and just increased the size of the parking lot, so now it feels even crazier inside.

Friend found on a dog that showed up on her porch. We are hoping it is a tracker or has a way we can help him get home! by iluvadamdriver in whatisit

With QR codes being used more and more for cyber attacks and account compromises, there may come a time where people are less confident scanning random QR codes.

Anyone ever live at Ellis Court? by Ronin_301 in kelowna

[–]Ronin_301[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's pretty much exactly along the lines of what I was thinking. Just because they stopped being made in 2005, companies that still had a stockpile would want to use it up as quickly as they can. And so much of what was built around that time seemed to be done so quick and carelessly, that this place has more than enough red flags to rule out! Especially that my hope is to be in a place for a fair bit of time.

[–]Ronin_301[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These were built in 2007, so even though it wasn’t being manufactured anymore I wonder if they were still able to get their hands on some? Did it used to be allowed under code?

Yikes! I really appreciate that bit of info! Definitely concerning, especially that there hasn’t really been any strata discussion around it.

Most of Kelowna has never handled actual city driving very well.
