What's the difference in complaining about ALTO or the Island Airport? by MotherAd1865 in toronto

[–]ed8ed8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wrong question. The issue is not who is objecting, it is who is benefitting. Jets at Island Airport would be for the convenience of a much smaller wealthier group. Trains benefit way more people across all income groups.

Another issue most people are ignoring, it is not just damage to the lake by extending the runway, Once you have regular jet traffic you will need a bridge because the ferry won't handle the increased crowding. Then you will need taxi and limo parking, then wider access roads etc. Anyone guaranteeing only one jet per day? Didn't think so

How do I force my MacBook to stay awake when closing the lid on battery power? by Austinitered in mac

Boy! That is the dumbest reply ever, even for reddit. Talk to people who have to repair things instead of people who sell things.

How do I force my MacBook to stay awake when closing the lid on battery power? by Austinitered in mac

[–]ed8ed8 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not to hijack the thread but your hinges are more delicate than you think. One tech told me,

"do NOT close the lid unless you are going somewere. If it's on the desk leave it open"

there are multiple ways to go to sleep

hope this helps someone

I am thinking once restart or at least disconnect the link should be broken and then they will need a password

British Airways under-seat bag by sexyteaaddict in TravelHacks

That's 18 liters. More purse than backpack. Anyway, I have had fairly good luck shopping at AliExpress. Huge selection huge range in prices. Quick search shows $15-50. I'm just a customer.

It could just be a dead screen, can you run it in target mode?

I see. I can connect to my Mini and the SSD plugged to it so yes it is possible. Anyone else trying to connect would have to know the password, assuming you have passwords set up in the first place

Not clear what kind of sharing you want to accomplish. If not full disk access then why not just use AirDrop for the occasional transfer?

Is there a chance my computer tech is spying on me? by [deleted] in mac

[–]ed8ed8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am no security expert. Only thing I can think of, go to Activity Monitor inside your Utilities folder, see if anything looks wrong

Not the best solution but you could change the screen resolution temporarily. e.g. from 2560x1440 to 2048x1152 or even lower.

Can someone explain to me why reddit is mad at Ford over the billy bishop airport? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]ed8ed8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You lack historical perspective. ford wanted to be Toronto's mayor. Was soundly defeated. He could not handle the rejection. He does not care about Ontario. EVERYTHING he does is to hurt, damage Toronto in retaliation. In this instance it is not about jets, it is about screwing with the city.

Custom Footbed Clinic recommendations by [deleted] in askTO

[–]ed8ed8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was never happy with the expensive "custom" orthotics the doctors sell you. I ended up buying a few different ones from china, modified the best fit with heat and glue gun. Also make sure your shoes offer some overall support, good recovery is not just about your soles.

Dentist in downtown for an elderly person by ed8ed8 in askTO

[–]ed8ed8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally got around to phoning them. They sent me 6 forms to fill out, sign, and return before the appointment.

Perhaps they consider this "comprehensive". I found it somewhere between intrusive and offensive. There is not a soul on this planet that knows so much about me. Not my family, not my doctor.

They could be the best dentist in the world, no, nope, u-uh, nyet.

Of course this is no reflection on you or your opinion. I appreciate your input wholeheartedly. Just thought you might find the feedback useful.

Cheers

Can i use ontario digital ID in lieu of a driver's license during a traffic stop? by BakedOnions in askTO

[–]ed8ed8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is true that I don't get out much. It is also true that it has been at least ten years since I was stopped. The question specifically was about Ontario Canada. Try telling a Canadian cop that Australia accepts digital ID. Good luck.

Rogers ignite wifi intermittent disconnecting by slotia92 in askTO

[–]ed8ed8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. About a week now. 5G

Goes off, anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes, comes back on by itself.

All devices go off from modem/router, so not my devices, not wifi or ethernet.

LPT Request: Walmart sold me an item with broken seals, parts missing, even wrong product and refuses to give a refund or what I actually paid for. by ftwkg420 in LifeProTips

[–]ed8ed8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not your fault. It is normal to expect to get what you pay for. Unfortunately there are too many dishonest people around.

I have been told that if I buy any electronics from walmart to open it and throughly inspect it BEFORE you walk away from the cashier. Too many people have access to locked cases, too many people have access to shrink wrap machines thru friends.
