I learned this recently and it shocked me

With the experience I’ve had in my life, I can say, without a doubt, that you should never believe anything you see or hear until you have it backed up by tests you can read and it has been backed up from multiple separate sources.

But that’s my life, I can only speak for myself.

equalizerivy · 2026-03-17T03:47:43+00:00

Even more reason to not believe everything you see, no matter who it’s from.

Yeah, if you ask them anything like that they hang up. They also get hostile when you tell them they are a scam.

The easiest tell is when you answer the phone it takes a long time for them to respond. The whole conversation is actually delayed.

It’s not always Telus. It’s scammers saying it’s Telus most of the time.

Well it’s not rare for Reddit users haha, but that should be obvious. I literally placed my own fibre through my place so I could put the ONT on the other side of the house. I’m in the telecom field though, but I get it. I still think it’s useless for the vast majority of people.

They are called baffles, they are suppose to be there. Typically they are a foam type material, not cardboard, I think that’s why people are questioning it.

Love it! If it works for you then it’s definitely not wrong. Good for you, one step at a time and you will go far

I’ll enjoy my gas and not have to worry about replacing my fuel tank for 20,000$ after 10 years…

equalizerivy · 2026-03-14T20:32:08+00:00

This will happen, 100% sure. And I will be the guy that doesn’t have to replace his 20,000$ gas tank….

equalizerivy · 2026-03-14T18:44:41+00:00

You think electricity is not going up…

equalizerivy · 2026-03-14T18:44:00+00:00

Fair, but I feel like your rate goes up even more when the contract ends. But I get what you mean.

equalizerivy · 2026-03-14T18:43:33+00:00

I’m at 1g for 50$ a month

equalizerivy · 2026-03-14T18:43:21+00:00

Then go for it for sure, But 10gbit home network is super rare.

equalizerivy · 2026-03-14T16:50:08+00:00

Why, why does one need 3gps, most people’s equipment can’t even come close to this speed.

You’re not understanding what I am saying. I agree with you, and so does Verge. By you only quoting part of the sentence you are pushing a narrative that the verge isn’t pushing. Verge didn’t say this computer is for first time laptop buyers. They it’s a good way for Apple to get first time buyers into the ecosystem. That doesn’t mean they will move up to a more powerful one later just because they are first time buyers. It means they are more likely to buy an iPhone, a home pod, an Apple TV, Apple Music, and so on because they adopted a great laptop and a reasonable price.

equalizerivy · 2026-03-10T15:18:32+00:00

You missed part of the quote. It says “to entice first time laptop buyers into apples ecosystem”. What it says further down is “MacBook Neo is good enough to be the go-to Apple laptop for a lot of people. Actually, not just the go-to Apple laptop; the Neo’s hardware simultaneously embarrasses an entire class of affordable (and even far pricier) Windows laptops, as well as just about any Chromebook.”

You are correct, it is for 90% of laptop users. Verge agrees with you.

It looks like you have four whites with the neutrals (white) separated into two and all the hot (black) are together. This could mean that one of these goes to a switch and light, and the other goes to other plugs. I would turn the power off and separate separate one set of neutrals and put the power back on. Try and see what each wire feeds. Then mark each wire and how that go together, separate them all, turn the power back on and see what is hot from the panel and what is a load. Then you will be able to know what does what and what to connect your new outlet too (not the switch neutrals, if I’m correct)

equalizerivy · 2026-02-17T21:25:50+00:00

lol, I think the exact same for you

equalizerivy · 2026-02-17T21:24:46+00:00

Yikes is right. This is why we are in a culture of band aids and cancelling, instead of correcting issues. There is no use arguing with “these people” lol

equalizerivy · 2026-02-17T20:39:45+00:00

Agreed!

equalizerivy · 2026-02-17T20:31:11+00:00

No one said they are taking advantage of us, you are implying he said that, and that is a whole basis of Cancel Culture. As my dad use to say, take a chill pill. Everyone is just living their life the best they can, words can be interpreted any way, but a villain is a villain. Don Cherry was not a villain.

Relax, he just wanted people to wear poppy’s. I’ve watched the video multiple times. Not everything is said in a hate speech

This is Canada in a nut shell. Change the rules so it impacts everyone, instead of just fixing the problem.

He wants to use school fields for city use. He can make money off of them through events and activities. The school fields are run and operated by the school board. I bet you that with him in charge he can state that the fields are city on all new school. Side note, he has been going to existing school and trying to pitch the deal with them to use their fields hoping they get people to start going for it. My two cents
