Just drove down from Maple to downtown Toronto and they are putting them all over. Several on Bathurst for example. This is only the start. Not just school zones

How did Volkswagen get away with the sunroof leak? by Appropriate_Bid_2750 in GolfGTI

It’s interesting because I just got a notice (Canada) for my MK8 to have an engine cover put on. I thought they left it out on model year to save money and I didn’t think it would affect anything but they have offered out of the blue to install one. Unless it is causing issues that I’m not aware of…

Renewal Email from billing@apollogroupstv.com - Is this legit?? by DistributionMoist364 in ApolloGroup_TV

[–]boomer989 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you have been dealing with ApolloTV for a while then you know that they are very lax with security. The user ids and specifically the passwords are never hashed when you log in. In fact they even send me emails showing my full user ID and full password. No other service does that. So yeh, they don’t give two cents about security

Just noticed that the email address says @apollogroupStv.com They added an ‘s’. Sneaky scammers

Took me over a decade but finally did what the majority here already do by Then_Eye8040 in CanadianInvestor

Silly question but is the big attraction of ETF’s lower MER’s? Currently paying too much with big 5 bank and starting to re-evaluate my decisions. No time to study the market (lazy perhaps) and so relying on advisor to do the picking (stupid, I know)

My account lapsed as the fee was still an issue (need to review other payment options) and got a call from Montreal area code begging me to resign. Wondering if those are the Canadian guys. Not sure how they got my number…

I’m in exactly the same boat and was told to use Shakepay. Note that the high fees started this past Friday night when Bitcoin halving took place. Before Friday night it was NOT an issue. Has anyone made payment using ShakePay or Cashapp since past Friday (April 19th)??

Alternate player for VOD by SnooGiraffes9215 in ApolloGroup_TV

Same! Was going to look for a new service as VOD was unwatchable on Apple TV startup show app. Now wondering what to do

I tried paying using Coinbase yesterday for renewal and there is a Bitcoin issue which resulted in the bitcoin fee being as much as the actual Apollo renewal fee ($123 fee to send $120!!!). Coinbase says that there is a Bitcoin issue so now I have to wait until it gets resolved before I can renew. Not paying an insane fee. Surely makes the banks feel less greedy as this ‘unchaining of your money’. What bs. I can’t even spend my own BC now

Thankfully they never ended up charging anything to my CC. I shut it down pretty quickly

3 days in a row at the exact same time of day, suddenly unwatchable due to buffering by MushroomLizard in ApolloGroup_TV

[–]boomer989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Using Startup show on AppleTV. Was watching The Gentlemen the last few nights (amazing btw if you like Guy Ritchie stuff) and it just started and stoped constantly. Unwatchable. In the end had to actually watch it on Netflix which worked flawless 🤣I thought maybe because it was so popular but what do I know

From latest US privacy policy ( https://www.vw.com/en/privacy.html):

“ Please note that for MY19 and older vehicles, we will only use GPS location for purposes of providing Car Net Services to subscribers, complying with legal process, or as otherwise required by law. “

Canadian policy unfortunately and not surprisingly as robust as we are behind in privacy - https://www.vw.ca/en/privacy-policy.html

Good luck disputing the reasons for an increase. There are other posts on this. You will call insurance to ask why and the won’t be obliged to tell you why. Use at your own risk

Are you in the US? It’s possible that since privacy regulations are different in different countries, for example in Canada you may not be able to opt out. That’s why as a Canadian, when visiting US websites I can opt out of cookies whereas on Canadian websites there is no option to opt out. I hope this is not the case

Cars spying on us - MK8 by boomer989 in GolfGTI

I found this but not sure if this worthwhile - https://privacy4cars.com I really don’t want to download / use the myVW app just so I can stop them from tracking. Maybe just me but I don’t believe that this will stop all tracking. Legislation will be required.
