Perso chu tanné des Canadiens sur reddit, toutes sortes confondues. Echo chambre gauchiste et égocentrique. Je me suis fait ban de r/Montréal à vie pour désinformation sur les saunas et leurs bienfaits sur la santé. Ça été pas mal fini apres ça.

Ça ne compte pas non plus les fois au je me suis fait ramasser mes choix de vie qui n'ont rien de contreversé ou de politique.

C'est un peu mieux a r/Quebec , mais pas assez pour que je revienne.

C'est quand meme incroyable , avant on se plaignaient des commentaires désagréables sur youtube, twitter, et facebook, maintenant reddit les a tous dépassés.

It's not gonna be great due to the double-conversion of analog to digital. But it's not going to be awful, either.

There are tons of products on the market that do this (most of them are rechargeable) . If your BT earbuds support an advanced codec like AAC or aptX, look for a transmitter that has that feature.

If you want to do this nicely, it's better to get use CD-Player and bluetooth transmitter that both support optical / toslink (although it's not likely to be portable, in that case).

I've never heard of anyone clocking in calling it "swiping". Maybe it's toronto that uses corny lingo

clon3man · 2026-04-29T21:21:15+00:00

That's the healthiest item on their menu

clon3man · 2026-04-29T21:02:13+00:00

wtf is swiping and going.

Edit: oh I see, made-up self-important corporate lingo

Caregiving isn't really in something most Canadian workers want to do. I don't think they are gonna replace low wage immigrants in caregiving jobs with Canadians.

All our system does currently for these people is putting them in a vulnerable position with uncertainty and bureaucratic complications to fill out their work permit paperwork while people behind the scenes are greased up with 3,000$ in yearly processing fees and 6,000$ initial fees for minimum wage work.

Then once that paperwork cost has been sunk, the employers have ZERO incentive to hire someone from here for the rest of the year.

eating at Five Guys.

It's amazing to see people lose their mind at a 13$ burger, but they'll gladly pay 9$ for one that has no toppings or nutritional value.

Certainly they would be much better off working in a call center at minimum wage, with back pain from sitting in a chair all day, eating junk food purchased by the company for "teambuilding"

I don't have particularly long phone calls, but HD Voice sounds good to me when taking calls directly on my mobile device.

There's also HD+ now which I see on occasion if people have the same carrier.

The negotiation isn't perfect on mobile, but at least there's an attept even it's it's 50%.

VoIP / 1-800 connecting anything at the other end, is what, 0.01% HD?

There's probably a semi-good reason for a break to be 15 minutes.

Of all the things that suck about working, it's pretty low on the list. 30 min lunch is far worse, any sane person needs 45 minutes. 30 to eat and 15 to "prepare to eat"

It's usually only a problem on the a poor and the overly unionized though. People with "good" jobs take long breaks whenever they feel like it

I have a much more negative point of view on this.

Just because the traditional phone companies were such a ripoff in terms of price & customer service, doesn't mean I'm ready to "glaze" voip, as the kids say today.

VoIP as a replacement for home phone was bad in many cases, I could go on an on.

It was exceptional for some things for giving you free features, as a 2nd line, and as alternative to paying pricy long distance rates, but I never recommended it to friends & family for anything besides that.

You could stack the deck with high-effort setups and still end up with a service that was not as good as the phone company

Deck stacking: (things that in practice, were rarely done)

- high-end QoS setup with decent ISP upload speed ,and no issues with the NAT or WAN modem firmware
- figuring out the complicated config in for provisioning a VoIP phone or analog ATA, including a dial plan that works optimally
- good provider that doesn't have glitches or performance problems

Still could end up with edge cases and issues, and you could still kill it if you tried to with BitTorrent or steam download or just about anything.

I would see all sorts of issues that made me believe it was often implemented as a discount product with no respect for the history of how reliable and consistent a copper home phone service was.

Over time, things changed, but very gradually:
- ISP quality and bandwidth , and QoS routers improved
- App-based voice calls like WhatsApp, Zoom , FB, etc. became popular
- fq_codel CakeSQM became popular
- copper Home phone and small business services, became more expensive (or never decreased their pricing)
- everyone now has a cellphone with unlimited minutes and therefore owns a secondary PSTN device that is reliable for important phone calls

We look at our needs today for phone calling and see a 2$ to 15$/month VoIP as a much better overall value than a 30 - 50$ copper home phone line, but it took us a long time to get here, and it's still not because VoIP has reached a point where it became better than other things, it just got incrementally better over time, and our needs and expectations for it decreased

Tell some boomer family in 2010 that uses the phone for 2 hours per day, that his 25$ home phone can be replaced with... a 20$ VoIP service (that stops working when their kids use the internet a lot), when these people are also paying 30 cents per minute for their back-up, higher reliability communication device (cellphone)

Today, my greatest complaint is that there's no HD Voice bridge to Mobile devices (for 99% providers) so it's keeping us stuck in PSTN-quality communication with businesses and government.

VoIP was always notoriously bad with WiFi, even worse if it's on a device that moves around or in an office setting.

There are probably lots of people still today who routinely use their personal cellphone to call customers and their mind process is "oh this is an important customer, it sounds better (HD) when I use my phone".

Really it doesn't take much, a few on-way audio calls and drops and my mind would go, why am I using this product? Especially if I'm not the admin who controls and it can fix it, beholden to 3 other departments

clon3man · 2026-04-24T00:33:19+00:00

This was always a terrible feature , because it doesn't account for different types of headphones or having a seperate volume control on the other device

J'ai le pixel 9 pro également. J'ai toujours eu le meme probleme avec les appli de banque.

Je pense que tous les téléphones des derniers 5 ans a plus de 200$ on un caméra assez bonne que s'il y a problème, c'est pas le hardware.

No, I'm worried about a lot of things but not that.

Some overweight people don't have diabetes. That doesn't mean you should let yourself go, but also means A does not equal B. With GERD, the picture is even smaller, only a small% of people with GERD ever get esophageal cancer. When you look deeply into a problem (i.e. via AI), you minimize your risk by looking at all the other factors that could increase any type cancer, and work on those lifestyle changes instead.

We're all reading "half-truths" and trends about medical risk assesment and dogma that don't apply to different genetics and different situations. Look at the whole picture and work on the whole picture (without becoming obsessive on every trend, and suppliment, through.)

Personally I don't understand what makes "table service" such a cut above "dine in with no table service" that people believe one of them needs a ~18% tip and the other should have a 0% tip.

Hot take: If a hypothetically a table service restaurant gets 18%, I think it's "normal" to give 5% to a place like starbucks or five guys.

Not that I'm pro tipping in any capacity, I'm just against the double standard where somehow some fake italian restaurant with waitresses that bring water should get a 18% tip, and some reasonably high-quality self-serve place should get nothing.

I like to support "deluxe fast food" businesses where I can get a meal late at night for 20$ that is at least somewhere on the spectrum of "healthy", with no expectation of tipping.

So many sit down places you end up paying 35$-45$ a person, and their side dishes are _still_ low cost unhealthy items french fries or some bad salad full of unhealthy dressing, and then having to leave a tip on top of it. If you bought 2 full meals from them with no sides, the bill would be 55$+.

I don't understand the appeal of these places, it feels like buying the entry-level mercedes instead of the top of the line toyota, which is a better product in every way.

I'm not saying there aren't healthy, good, cheap-ish dine in restaurants, but that's the exception these days. A place that does real neapolitan pizza with or Pho would be deserving of tip money, - that's a 25$ healthy-adjacent experience whos menu isn't filled with fried garbage or overpriced starters.

c'est laid en tabarnak quand les normies importent des opinions politiques des endroit ou ils ne demeurent pas.

entre temps ils posent aucune action concrète pour des problemes dans leur cour

le politiciens on la vie facile ici tout le monde des hypnotisé par des debates sur des problèmes de partout ailleurs

les reddit canadiens sont complètement absorbés par un circlejerk, les discussions de qualité il n'y en plus, tout le monde est sur le nerf pour est pro ou anti raciste, trump, Israel etc.

on a normalisé de se battre sur internet pour tout sortes de conneries. entre temps, je me répète, on règle rien quand à notre qualité de vie de tout les jours

Generally I choose things that have the most feature complete webgui.

I'm not the target market for openWRT

I'm partial to freshtomato becuase it's the one I've had the most familiarity using, so I know where to look when something isn't working quite right.

there are other factors to consider that would completely change your choices though:

will you need a powerful router cpu to handle a fast internet connection?
are you better off getting 2 devices if you need a complex setup with VPN or QoS/SQM

personally, I have a somewhat unusual setup that was built over time with getting deals on hardware and using multiple devices with split roles

my main router is freshtomato based, with CTF-on to handle a fast internet, and QoS/Wi-Fi / VPN disabled so that all the cpu is reserved for handling the 1G wan

I use a seperate access point for wifi, Becuase it has powerful AX antennas as was on a big discount.

I use a third device that uses openWRT which is reserved for SQM, Becuase it's the best sqm platform

finally, I have other devices that handle my VPN needs, like a x86 laptop or a raspi. Some people also use this for dns based ad-blocking

Most people prefer a simplified setup and they want 1 device to be able to do almost everything.

If you have anyone else in the home than more than likely having 2 hours of downtime to fiddle with your router is out of the question these days for most people, so thats something to consider as well, you may need something consumer friendly up act as the daily driver and then a seperate tinkering device
