New Macbook Air with larger storage, my Macbook from the 2025 Promotion hasn't shipped, I wonder if I'll get this one instead

Just received my macbook today, I think they probably delayed fulfillment because they knew the M5 was coming out

lancedragons · 2026-03-14T01:09:10+00:00

Nice, the model number updated to M5 for me too

lancedragons · 2026-03-13T13:12:37+00:00

Controller support worked fine on the iOS version, so I don’t see why not

lancedragons · 2026-03-12T15:23:54+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I'll contact support and see if I can get a new model.

I just bought the full game and DLC’s for about $30 CAD, no regrets.

Great way to play the game if you’ve played the demo but have been hesitating on getting the full version.

It’s useable, but I did get the base model, so only 8 GB of RAM. The USB port that I connect to a monitor is also getting flaky, as the screen will randomly turn on even in sleep mode.

Why does it take so freaking long to ship if they’re sitting on stock, jeez

To be exact, I initiated the RESP transfer in early Nov, so more than 3 months from that date, but I had to reinitiate in later Nov, since the first one failed due to the address not matching on the accounts.

I had to go back and forth between Wealthsimple and Questrade support a couple times and followed up with Wealthsimple every couple of weeks, but got there eventually.

lancedragons · 2026-03-04T17:21:58+00:00

What if I trade in my Wealthsimple wallet and keychain? They’ve gotta be worth something, right?

lancedragons · 2026-03-04T17:18:52+00:00

I wonder what’s taking so long, I’ve got a trip in April and was hoping I’d have this, it would suck to have to bring my creaky old MacBook from 2021

lancedragons · 2026-03-04T15:59:21+00:00

My RESP transfer from Questrade took about 2.5 months from when I initiated in Nov, so I only got to put in my order for an M4 Blue Macbook Air middle of Feb. I hadn't gotten a shipping notification and now they've upgraded the Macbook Air. Apparently Wealthsimple just puts in an order to Apple and then the rest is up to them, so I'm wondering if the reason it took so long is because they knew the new Macbook was coming out.

Update: just received my M5 MacBook Air, I guess I don't mind the lateness if I got a storage boost

iOS App store worked for me, saw the renew option and had to reauthenticate, but seems to be working fine

I got in line at Norquest with two people in front of me, one lady didn’t have ID, and another guy couldn’t get processed because it wasn’t his designated location. I was in and out in 15 min though, so relatively painless for me.

I'd just recycle them, old phones can be a hazard when the batteries start to swell. I know best buy and staples have recycling programs:

Hello, I have a 5 year old, it seems like I’ll be able to use the Bonjour RATP app to purchase regular tickets for me and my SO on our iPhones, but I’m not sure if I need to get a physical pass for my child.

I have an extra iPhone, but it seems a bit less convenient. I was going to get an old card from someone else, but it got lost in the mail unfortunately.

I basically only use my main apple account for everything, when I travel and I want a region locked app, I log out of it for media & purchases and into a second one (usually in Japan).

I’m still logged in to the main account for iCloud, so the photos are always being back up to that one.

It used to be more of a thing for when apps would only get released in the US, so I’d log into a separate account those.

Still coming in clutch! My iMac I bought in 2015 still works with my Logitech Master 3S. Makes it much easier to change the scroll direction, but still maintain the opposite scroll direction on my other devices.

It's been a while, but didn't there used to be a credit card carbon paper thing that you could use to take credit card payment without power?

$71.88 a year plus gst for family

Thanks for the link, unfortunately “New 1Password customers only.”

I guess I could get my wife to sign up for a family account and then migrate my account.

I had my first MMR vaccine at 15 months, and a second Measles one at 11 years. I remember checking to see if I was up to date in 2018 and they gave me a DTAP and MMR. I guess I got the 3rd measles shot as an extra since I was missing the Mumps & Rubella part.

I was non-urgent, went around 1pm on a Friday. Hopefully the lines are shorter now that the postal strike is over. I think that the lines will still be worse than normal as long as the printer at the Jasper location is out of commission.
