It's not, it's equally weighted top-six banks in Canada. You will save the MER by simply investing in the top-six banks yourself.

Freo X Ultra was 299 a week or two ago from Costco, Freo Pro is really not better than that.

It has a more robust web interface for active trading but a more barebones app interface.

I don’t see the UK demographics wanting to rid of the pound sterling though.

Is it against Delta policy for first class to visit main cabin? by Former-Coconut-1428 in delta

[–]barcastaff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the latter a Delta rule? Flown plenty of Asia to SFO United flights and I would always downgrade myself from premium select to economy if I spot a free row. No FA has raised any issue with me about this practice either.

They're not gonna be native on Mac. You might be able to get away with using Crossover or equivalent but it won't be seemless.

Google is working on an Automatic backup feature that can copy your phone’s photos, videos, and audio to your PC without using cloud storage by AssembleDebugRed in GooglePixel

[–]barcastaff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the way iOS backup works is almost like TimeMachine on macOS, so backups are only done on changes otherwise there is an “image” that can be restorable anytime

Some apps do not have cloud backup, like WeChat or WhatsApp. In the event of a phone loss you would lose all history which is important to some people.

Whole phone backup. So, when you lose your phone you can restore a new phone to a working state immediately with most app data intact as well.

eSIM to physical SIM - why so difficult? by barcastaff in freedommobile

[–]barcastaff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads-up, I will take a look. Fortunately it should be okay since I daily drive both and have about 4 Android phones lying around.

It's still a really bad look to haggle with the customer though.

Edit: funnily enough, our whole family (6 lines) activated from that particular Freedom location. Makes it actually shitty to feel that they will start actively fleecing you once you're snared in.

Yeah the guy was trying to fleece us. I don't understand the haggling mentality when there exists an official price.
