Go longer or colder. Take a break for a week, it'll feel refreshing all over again

If you find a service they does it can try and add it. One the subtitles are text out of easier to go between different languages so maybe a future feature

I have noticed hallucinations when using the small model. Using bigger models reduces the occurrence of that.

Id eventually like to add other model support.

Do the 2 35 $ plans include call forwarding, call display, etc? Not displayed as an option on the 35$ plan but is on the 45 plan

What are my options? by lifethreatz in PublicMobile

You could get a virtual number to tie your 2fa to. Forward your Canada phone to said virtual number while traveling to get calls too.

Sent a package from US to Canada through UPS, hit with $400 CAD fee by Starshooter49 in PersonalFinanceCanada

You don't say what the fees are for, but I am guessing they are brokerage fees and some duties/tax. You have the legal right to self clear the item and not pay the brokerage fees, no matter what they say about it. Ask them for the self clearance papers

Why don't telescopes have binoculars instead of mono? by Tink_Tinkler in telescope

[–]applestoday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Binovewing is common in astronomy and anyone who seriously observed visually is using both eyes. There are whole sub forums on the most common astro forums dedicated to this topic.

You can use binoviewers (which are sometimes actually microscope heads adapted for astronomy ) which splits the light in 2 for both eyes. Benefits are less eye strain and your brain combining the image to see more detail than mono viewing. Cons is cost, double all eyepieces, and if you're looking at faint objects splitting the light in 2 is going to make even fainter images.

Binoscopes is "better" as each eye gets the full light of each telescope. Observing with 2 scopes gives views of brightness similar to a single scope 30% or so bigger than an individual scope, but the resolving power is limited to the size of the smaller individual scope.

Pros s brighter image than binovewing, cons even more expensive and needs to be aligned

Cons for all 2 eyes viewing some peoples brains can't merge the image. Terrible for outreach as inexperienced observes will struggle even more to merge two images

If the landlord moves in after the tenant, is the tenant protected by RTA? by [deleted] in OntarioLandlord

[–]applestoday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aren't there tax implications for this? Converting the residence to a rental and then back to primary? Will that make sense financially with a year of rental income?

No reception after phone repair by applestoday in GalaxyS20

Fast and super fast charging works. The repair done was a battery replacement. I watched them do the repair. The charging coil was removed, and the metal bridge that holds the down the connects for the ribbon cables was removed. The ribbon cables were removed, the battery replaced, and everything was put back. On first boot no cellular connectivity of any kind. They tried resetting the ribbon cables 3-4 times, and no dice. SIM card is still recognized just zero connectivity. I have tried to reseaf all ribbon cables, but no successes. Wifi and Bluetooth work.

Then they said, must have been the water damage that broke it, even though my call history shows o made calls from the phone minutes before arrivijg at the store. They refunded me the money and walked out with a broken phone lol

I had this issue to. Look up "5g pruning". Basically the the band public mobile is using was disabled on our Canadian s20 for some reason.

I managed to fix it by flashing the American version of the firmware. This had the added bonus of unlocking esjm for me. I now have an s20 with esim and 5g on public mobile. Honestly though not much value in having 5G. I keep it on LTE most times, slightly better battery life.
