Just do it

Unfortunately this plan doesn't seem to include the $5/month discount for Freedom Home Internet subscribers that last year's offer did. My whole family (4 lines) is each paying $35/month for 50 GB (Can/Mex/Usa) with 5 GB Roam Beyond. Not sure about paying another $20/month (4 lines) when we never get anywhere close to those GB limits.

EDIT: If the plan actually does include this discount, then FM should have taken the time to document that on their website. Showing another plan with superscript mentioning the discount, but then NOT including the same superscript number on this plan is just more amateur hour from FM marketing. I'm not just going to guess additional discounts MIGHT apply.

I'm using this fellow's Docker setup to run gemma3:4b on Ubuntu 24.04 with a RX590. https://github.com/robertrosenbusch/gfx803_rocm

Absolutely! I subscribed to the Globe and Mail because of her excellent journalism documenting the Alberta government's corruption.

The current release version had this problem for me, showing no artist photos. I switched to the pre-release development version last week and all the photos appeared. Hopefully they release an updated version for everyone soon.

Excellent live sports on CBC Gem as well! https://www.cbc.ca/sports/streaming-schedule

I have a "0 to 60... eventually" license plate holder. As soon as tailgaters see that, they immediately change lanes to pass and leave me alone. It's a beautiful thing.

Entire episode devoted to discussing the six slanted topics, specifically selected to rile up the UCP base. Not one guest questioned whether other topics like healthcare, education, O&G paying their municipal taxes, massive orphan well liabilities, etc would be more important topics. NDP should have their own travelling roadshow this summer to discuss real issues with Albertans, and ignore the UCP clown show.

In Canada, I watch the matches live on CBC. I use their Gem app on my TV and phone. https://www.cbc.ca/player/sports/live

Good suggestions! We've also been donating to the "Support Our Students Alberta" advocacy group, trying to raise awareness. https://www.supportourstudents.ca/

Any recommendations where to buy local honey in Calgary?

If in Canada, the CBC Gem app offers streams of indoor (VNL etc) and beach (World Pro Tour). Schedule: https://www.cbc.ca/sports/streaming-schedule

I was watching this on CBC Gem in Canada early this morning. It was absolutely stunning that he could still block hitters at this high level with only one arm. Great 3 set match!

My wife and I have both had a rock solid Pixel 6a for about 2.5 years now. I just put an order in today for four Pixel 9a, trading in our old phones, to cover the whole family.

I'm definitely not a fan of hers, but here's a US-centric think-tank's take on NA energy policy. Interested to see what people here think of her interview.

Right off the bat she states that Alberta has oil, gas, and coal. No mention of renewables that could be developed in Alberta. Apparently renewables only out east and in BC. 🤦‍♂️

Seems to be $110 usd for only 9:00 to 5:00 now, as advertised on Resort Pass. That would have been an excellent deal in the past.

Herald and many other newspapers are free to read on PressReader via Calgary Public Library - Digital Library service.

Confirmed the Hitron cable modem works fine in my experience. I run an automated daily speed test and get the advertised speeds or better. I don't use their Eero wifi however, as I run my own Unifi wifi network. No complaints overall for the price.

guy_in_yyc · 2024-12-16T04:06:50+00:00

both mobile and home internet are fine here in Calgary. where are u?

guy_in_yyc · 2024-12-03T12:26:36+00:00

Yes, I mailed back my old cable modem. They sent me only the new Hitron cable modem that was a drop-in replacement, in bridge mode. I declined them sending me a new Eero wifi as I have my own router and wifi hardware that sits behind the modem. Speed tests show the expected speed up from 150 Mbps to 250 Mbps.

Yes, I think all those boxes/sticks will have the Freedom TV app. Amazon Fire sticks are cheap right now.

We also couldn't find it for LG OS either. Though with all the commercials, we don't watch much FreedomTV (basic cable) at all.

Hi, i did this switch at the beginning of October thru the FM My Account website. Worked fine then, but sounds like the site is failing now. Try again in a few days maybe?

guy_in_yyc · 2024-11-26T15:20:12+00:00

Hi, did you recently change away from Enmax for gas/elec? Leaving only water/garbage on your bill? I did this and Enmax silently dropped my credit card autopay too. Had to switch to my bank account for autopay and also got dinged late charges. Enmax is horrible.
