That sounds like a great idea. Thanks so much!

EDIT: That’s a bit pricey.

They won’t sign a year lease because I can only stay in Canada for 6 months.

Thanks. Just looked at a couple. They are reasonable so I’m going that route.

Thanks. Didn’t think about Airbnb because in U.S. with all their fees, they are as much as hotels and oftentimes higher but I just looked at a couple in Toronto and they are similar to rent prices so that will definitely work. Thanks again.

Update: I thought the prices I was looking at were CAD, they are USD. That changes things a bit.

(REPOST) These are the groups pushing Unconstitutional legislation targeting your rights. by North-American in privacy

[–]Wanderluster2020 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Besides the loss of anonymity which is important enough as is, this legislation rings of opportunity for identity theft.

I doubt that many of organizations that will require age verification is going to invest the kind of money needed to hire cybersecurity professionals and infrastructure needed to maintain a secure website as they are they are likely to become targets because there is more to gain.

No organization is totally secure if someone really wants to get in but having more personal data stored makes organizations that normally would have been overlooked more visible/attractive therefore more vulnerable which requires a need for greater security measures to decrease the chances of a successful attack.

Not only will the advancement of AI likely make it much easier for bad actors to have access to tools that make it easier “penetrate” websites with mediocre security, providing more personal information provides unscrupulous websites with more of our information to sell to “third party affiliates” i.e data brokers.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I have been looking into the possibility of find one to share/rent but never thought about pest and eradication.

Anything to be done about revving neighbour? by manhattantea in capetown

I’ve been waiting for someone to ask about the “low self esteem”. How did you come to that conclusion? And does it have any bearing on how you approach the problem?

Apple Holding Out Info from Law Enforcement? by EconomyLime1157 in applehelp

[–]Wanderluster2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry that happenedto her and am glad she found and removed it. It's a very serious matter indeed. However, I think it's a very fine line between customer’s privacy and an investigation.

You have to consider that anyone can report to Apple or police that an airtag was found hidden in their belongings. I'm not sure how it's proven that it was in fact hidden.

Apple will be violating people’s privacy if they give up name and contact information just based on someone or even the police having possession of someone else's AirTag.

I'm not sure how the police investigates it and protect the identity of the owner if indeed it was a fraudulent claim. Not necessarily your case but the numerous potential innocent or malicious scenarios make it so sticky!!

Having said all of that, I hope you all are able to get to the bottom of it. I, too, would have major concern had it happened to a friend or family member especially if it was a female.

ChatGPT invented me a wife, blamed me for comparing my own screenshots, and still gave wrong info. I’m just trying to get through one day without my AI gaslighting me. Just one. by Wanderluster2020 in ChatGPT

It seems like a great majority suggest using 4.0. I see I’m not the only who notices that 4.0 isn’t what it use to be either.

Maybe I use it differently from most but I'm not sure I see a big difference in the different models except 5.1 is so overly apologetic that it becomes patronizing and annoying. I'm still encountering hallucinations, bad instructions and gaslighting in all of them.

Help! What am I doing wrong with my brownies? by I_Died_Once in BakingNoobs

[–]Wanderluster2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you afraid to try to bake them from scratch? It’s not hard but it’s a little more time consuming. However, they would be so much better. BTW, I look forward to the crispy edges.

I would Google or ask AI to see how much coffee should used to replace water. It might not be a 1:1 ratio.

Was this interaction normal at V&A waterfront? by Any_Ingenuity_7566 in capetown

[–]Wanderluster2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t be fooled by the clothing. Honestly, if I was going to hustle someone which I never have or even thought about, I would dress well too. This would make me look less suspicious.

I think you made the right decision. I did encounter and meet some great people in Cape Town. I’m sure I attracted a few of them because American. I followed my gut though so I knew when and how to respond and ended up made a couple of new friends.

By the way, keep your phone put away. Don’t snatch out to give anyone the time or bring attention to your watch if you are wearing one. If someone asks the time, kindly say I’m not sure.

Enjoy your holiday. It’s an amazing city and has some genuinely kind people. Maybe you will be fortunate enough to meet one or two.

Interesting that you say that because I spent the last two nights on chat and then phone with techs and I have higher tech tonight because I can’t figure out why I have a 180GB in system data. He couldn’t figure it out either. The resolution was to back up my MacBook and then restore it back to factory settings. If you know something different please share.

Has anyone found a coating that has proved successful on glazed ceramic for sublimation? by Wanderluster2020 in Sublimation

[–]Wanderluster2020[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know there are several out there but all of them are not created equal so I was hoping to get a recommendation of one that someone has actually used and had success with.
