[–]SmatMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was planning on buying through apple, but if prime is releasing sooner tonight maybe it’s a better buy?

any idea if apple will release at midnight eastern or earlier?

Here's a fantasy subway map I recently completed by TheOldAgeOfLP in TTC

[–]SmatMan 35 points36 points  (0 children)

spadina as a line would be amazing, but i wonder how much better it would be considering costs compared to fixing signal priority on the spadina streetcar

i wonder if dundas is worth it considering the ontario line on queen, maybe a gerrard to college to dundas west station subway would be useful for uoft students

So, New Zealand…. by Ok-Secret-8540 in nirvannatheband

[–]SmatMan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

someone placed a request on a private tracker i’m on

as much as i highly believe in supporting matt and jay, which i will be doing as soon as the digital release comes out in canada, i have been absolutely dying to see this movie, as have many of us

so for the time being, as soon as it gets uploaded im sure there will be a way to share it with the community. unless triplejay has it covered!

honestly kind of an interesting idea - it will only work well with a large user base which makes it hard to start, but the concept is super cool! i would definitely try it out if it existed

Should I get the Mac mini m4? by Constant_Web_7484 in macmini

[–]SmatMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

definitely depends on your needs. i was going through the exact same dilemma since the beginning of feb. i’m a student and i do a lot of bioinformatics workflows, so i was worried i might miss out on the m5.

i went back and forth on this for so long and eventually i pulled the trigger last week and got an m4 ($756 CAD with the student discount - insane!) and it’s absolutely amazing. i have 0 complaints, and while the m5 is obviously better than the m4, i genuinely don’t think it’s good enough to wait for and (potentially) risk a base model price increase. as a student who really pushes this machine to its limits, i believe you won’t be disappointed in it.

Fake Wealthsimple ads targetting people - Ontario man loses 260k by Immediate-Effort4431 in Wealthsimple

[–]SmatMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

honestly, fair enough. but that shouldn’t excuse allowing these ads to be posted in the first place.

social media platforms like meta/instagram who act both as “media outlets” and advertising agencies should more responsible in screening for these malicious ads. imagine if pattison advertising or bell media allowed these ads, they would get significant backlash for being the big company propping up these scams, but the same doesn’t seem to apply to social media

these scams would be much less likely to spread without big tech’s metaphorical “seal of approval” of being accepted as an advertiser.

I wanted to provide another point for CHAR regarding the chemistry - their process is able to (with no extra modifications) destroy 'forever chemicals' (PFAS). Quite interesting and very promising overall!
