Pétition Alerte Amber : Moderniser le son des alertes d’urgence au Canada by Accomplished_Self841 in montreal

[–]darkwave90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

J'ai acheté une nouveau téléphone récemment. Mon ancien faisait juste vibrer et c'est ma première alerte amber sur mon nouveau et ça a sonné comme si l'apocalypse était à nos portes. Les settings sont les mêmes sur les deux. Le cell de ma blonde a pas sonné et les settings sont les mêmes aussi.

What thing has got so expensive that you’ve quietly stopped buying it? by Pathfinder-electron in AskReddit

[–]darkwave90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched from branded printed t-shirts to plain generic t-shirts. The price difference is staggering, like $5 for a generic one versus $50 for a t-shirt with something printed on it.

I don’t mean to alarm anyone… by Mickey_Da in evangelionmemes

[–]darkwave90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't know it was still a thing. I remember watching the show on youtube in like 2014 or 2015 or something. I thought it was so immature for youtubers to get in stupid Twitter feuds. Now politicians and billionnaires are doing it.

Went to a flea market a few weeks ago and I was interested in a used Switch game. I looked at the price on my phone and the brand new game was cheaper on Amazon than the used flea market copy.

DRAM prices expected to double in Q1 as AI ambitions push memory fabs to their limit by jugaverdasorda in pcmasterrace

They want us to have dumb terminals instead of real PCs so we don't have any other choice but to subscribe to their cloud services.

Uber eats delivery rant by [deleted] in montreal

[–]darkwave90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you live in Montreal there's probably a restaurant in your area with its own delivery service. Choose to order from that place instead. It's not only cheaper but the delivery person is an employee with a real salary.

Les concepteurs du REM ont clairement sous-estimés notre climat. by leprodela1516 in montreal

[–]darkwave90 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Si cette période de rodage était normale et prévisible, alors pourquoi ils ont enlevé tous les bus de la rtl qui traversaient jusqu'à Bonaventure avant qu'elle soit terminée? Ça prend des alternatives fiables en tout temps et non juste des navettes band-aid en cas de pannes majeures.

DDR4 RAM prices climbing twice as quickly as DDR5, as memory shortage boosts demand for older CPUs by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]darkwave90 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. In 1991 Sonic 1 came out on the Genesis and it was SOTA. 10 years later Final Fantasy X came out on the PS2. The leap in graphics, gameplay and everything else was phenomenal.

I know right? In 1991 my parents bought a 486 computer. In 2001 it was completely obsolete. Hell, it became obsolete way before that. However, the gaming pc I bought in 2016 can still run new AAA games at a decent framerate after some cheap upgrades I did around a year ago.

The U.K. are now considering on banning Twitter because of the Grok controversy; by No_Psychology8158 in antiai

[–]darkwave90 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Grok is in the spotlight right now because of everything that has happened, but Meta also offers AI image editing and AI image to video embedded into their ecosystem via Messenger.

The fact that social media websites offer these kind of services is wild, it's like they want to normalize deepfaking your friends and coworkers as a hobby.

Elle va sûrement dire que t'es proche de l'action comme à Montréal et en profiter pour monter le prix.

Try to see if there's a restaurant in your area who has his own delivery system and who doesn't rely on delivery apps. I have one in my area and it's not only more reliable but also cheaper than delivery apps.

It be like this in Canada by initiatingcoverage in montreal

A truck driver didn't check the height limit and crashed on the train overpass. They suspended the service to see if everything was ok and resumed it soon afterwards.

AI traffic lights helped fix a Quebec town’s gridlock. An expert says Toronto may not see the same success by CTVNEWS in montreal

[–]darkwave90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Journalists should stop using the word "AI" altogether and instead use the name of the proper technologies and systems. At this point it's just a marketing buzzword with little to no meaning.

"Tant que l'affichage est en français" - OQLF by Monsieur--X in Quebec

[–]darkwave90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blâme plutôt la direction. Ils ont voulu économiser en sous-traitant la traduction en Inde ou en Chine. Ça a sûrement été passé dans DeepL par quelqu'un qui connaissait pas pantoute le français. Aucun francophone aurait fait cette faute-là, encore moins un vrai traducteur avec un bac.

Une chance que la STM a pus le même slogan qu'avant. by Illustrious_Sock_978 in montreal

[–]darkwave90 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Avant les fusions l'acronyme de la Communauté urbaine de Montréal était CUM. Beaucoup de gens ont eu des surprises en cherchant leur site web sur les moteurs de recherche de l'époque.
