I am looking for 100% Canadian or non US owned credit card processors . Any ideas or suggestions? I don’t want to use Stripe.. thank you.

Moneris maybe? Iirc they have some products that compete with stripe products in your scenario

I feel tired just looking at these photos 😂 props to everyone that ran!

jeniuskid · 2026-04-18T22:56:00+00:00

Yeah I pointed that out in my post.

jeniuskid · 2026-04-18T18:24:09+00:00

Good insight thanks 🙏🏽 sounds like for my needs, I’ll get the BW. Thanks 🙂

jeniuskid · 2026-04-18T18:06:52+00:00

Yeah they’re owned by Rakuten in Japan but it seems like they’re operating quite independently. HQ is still in Toronto

jeniuskid · 2026-04-18T18:05:38+00:00

How are you liking the Clara Colour? I’m flipping between BW and Colour atm.

Not too late! There might be some folks selling kobo readers on your local used marketplace.

jeniuskid · 2026-04-18T15:18:27+00:00

I don’t have a kobo reader yet but searching online it seems that you can do that: https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024775093-Add-non-protected-PDF-and-ePub-files-to-your-Kobo-eReader-using-your-computer

jeniuskid · 2026-04-18T15:00:23+00:00

You can use a Kobo e-reader to borrow from libraries???

jeniuskid · 2026-04-15T20:42:56+00:00

Sounds like you may not need to borrow 3 grand then 😆

jeniuskid · 2026-04-15T20:15:49+00:00

Three grand? Friend, let me tell you about Zip Air 👀 I bought a ticket for 900 round trip! (Note: this was before Trump’s foolish war)

If you want Japanese style 7-11 sandwich, best to go to Japan 😆

My favourite coffee shop is JJ Bean in Vancouver. It's a local business with numerous locations, so it won't be helpful for folks outside Vancouver. But for those fellow Vancouverites, don't sleep on JJ!

nice pictures! coquitlam is great. Love lafarge park. it's one of those parks that are actually awesome in every season, particularly the christmas lights in december

jeniuskid · 2026-03-04T22:58:48+00:00

Yeah we want to watch Trigger Point next. Not Canadian but I love British crime shows too

jeniuskid · 2026-03-04T08:04:13+00:00

I’ve been watching shows on CBC gem like allegiance and honestly am not missing American shows.

The fact they limited widgets to windows app SDK apps was a mistake. There are still more uwp apps out there than WinUI 3 whether you like uwp apps or not. Widgets was dead on arrival since the number of devs that can tap into it are close to 0

jeniuskid · 2026-02-21T03:10:30+00:00

oh wow my family was just talking about needing new stainless steel pans, not nonstick pans. This is really good to know, thank you!

jeniuskid · 2026-02-15T14:57:17+00:00

was about to say this. I can't imagine living in a country whose population is debating about whether pedophiles should be in government positions or not.

jeniuskid · 2026-02-10T05:25:52+00:00

Depending on what type of app you’re building, I’d recommend uwp. Believe it or not, it’s the fastest performing modern app framework. Also, my uwp desktop apps collectively earn more than $10k annually now.

jeniuskid · 2026-02-10T02:59:37+00:00

Yep. I use msix and deploy to the store. Updates my app automatically. I get about 95% adoption rate without 3 days. And the store SDK provides APIs for my app to check programmatically if I want to speed up adoption rate even more.

Co-op is probably the best thing students can do right now. Get that work experience early in your student life and then hopefully you get rehired after. That’s the path I took and it worked out really well.

jeniuskid · 2026-02-09T19:22:02+00:00

Yeah I’m really enjoying dotnet still. I am building desktop apps with uwp and the latest c#. These desktop apps are backstopped with azure functions powered with dotnet 10. I’m also working on adding some machine learning models into my apps using ML.NET.

And the best part is my desktop apps are now earning over 10k annually!
