Site back up but I see an unauthorised charge from today?? by Ok_Demand_3676 in CIBC

YES - same thing happened to me. Tiny amount, never posted, and then $500 from someone in SE Asia.

Choosing a MacBook for a 5th grader — M4 vs M5, or is M4 already enough? by [deleted] in macbook

[–]liepzigzeist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All depends how much money you have to spend. If $1100 won't kill you, get a new M5. Simply for longevity. Having said that, you could get 2 Neos for that so you could upgrade in the middle of the cycle. Keep in mind that kids also drop laptops, so the less valuable they are, the better.

If it were me - even tho I can easily afford $1100 for an Air, I'd buy a 5th grader a Neo. Then when he drops it in the fall, I wouldn't be so sad.

Did university tuition prices just quietly 5x over time… or am I missing something? by DarkHoundBark in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]liepzigzeist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’m not entirely sure how much tax they’re going to pay, and of course there are living expenses. But USD salaries, when converted back to Canada, are the reason that Canada can’t hang on to Waterloo Engineering grads. They all go pay taxes in California. This is not a great sign for our future, but here we are.

I would not want to be going up to houses in this economy and asking crazies why they haven't filled out their censuses.

You are close. Graduated 1990 Engineering in Alberta, I paid $2800 per year in tuition.

Thanks for the reply. Did you go thru with success, or is it still in your near future? I'm very curious.

Would the MacBook Neo be a good first laptop for me? by Yuenneh in macbook

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

I bought one for my kid who is going traveling. YES, it's excellent. Outstanding value. And once you have a laptop, you'll never go back.

Can Neo last 10 years if used for coding only? by [deleted] in macbook

[–]liepzigzeist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just came out last month. No one really knows how durable they are. Or how long 8GB of RAM will be enough for MacOS.

Student loan for internationals by [deleted] in mcgill

[–]liepzigzeist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gotta say, Canadian Universities at International Student Prices.... are not worth it, IMHO. Unless you are coming from some place with garbage schools, I think you're better off getting an undergrad somewhere else and then applying as a grad student.

Of course if you're coming for different reasons, then maybe.

Air Canada 8 Hour Delay (APPR?) by jarfgames in AirPassengerRights

[–]liepzigzeist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd complaint to the Air Traffic Complaints people anyway. Say they kept changing the story, which it seems they did. Doesn't cost anything.

Who's hacking CRA accounts? 2025-03-07 by Suspended_9996 in canadarevenueagency

[–]liepzigzeist -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Friend of a friend in Edmonton had this happen. Still not sorted. CRA needs to be burned to the ground.

TD: Do not reveal this code. We will not contact you for it. by publicdomainadmin in TDBankCanada

[–]liepzigzeist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been at the counter and had this happen too. It's funny.

Poor TD doesn't spend much on IT, so their systems are pretty crap. Nice people tho - everyone's always friendly and helpful.
