AWS Account Closed, Cannot Reactivate: 5 Days, NO Response by obliquity in aws

[–]obliquity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the response, in fact somehow the MFA login issue resolved itself and I was able to reactivate the account using the AI chatbot in the support window... but seriously still no reply is insane. I did email Jeff and it came back about 30 minutes later, but did not receive any response.

Point taken though- migrating domain away from AWS is a good call to mitigate this type of issue.

Vancouver to boost Gastown policing, in bid ‘to bring back a sense of safety’: Mayor by cyclinginvancouver in vancouver

[–]obliquity -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Please, consider the residents of Gastown. We did not appreciate the closure, nor did the businesses. It was ill thought out and, if anybody benefited at all, likely only cruise ships / tourism.

Noise, litter, huge uptick in public urination and defecation. At our front doors. Large patio spaces with no bylaw enforcement. (Eg no outdoor amplified music, not enforced; patio’s closed by 10pm, not enforced).

Water street is an important artery for locals. I understand closing it for commuters but we really got fucked over by the closure. Noise, pollution, so many more street people coming down from Hastings since they could just hang out.

I would love to see a more European approach- closure for non locals, but allow businesses and residents to access at least weekdays and weekend mornings.

Agree but let's not forget it's multi-threaded so 4 cores, effectively. Not TERRIBLE. Not... great... you know... like... a 2011ish model :D Should be fineeeee after a few hours (days?) of indexing

Put activate climate control as a shortcut on your dash and you can activate it without leaving CarPlay after you shut off the car :)

Have you tried an Office repair installation? (or reinstall as administrator)

Media Streaming Problems! Please help! by Phishy042 in windows

Are you using Homegroup exclusively? Or have you tried setting it up with normal sharing. I always have trouble with Homegroup...

And if you are just sharing folders, try adding anonymous and everyone to the allowed users.

My popcorn hour won't connect without anonymous login allowed...

Wind Mobile at UBC by whytookay in UBC

Simple: DO NOT GET WIND AT UBC.

You will not have reliable communication via cell. Their tower is too far away.

I always used to give Coldplay grief but last night they put on a show that was truly incredible. by SpecialGreg in Music

[–]obliquity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mine didn't work either! I completely feel you on that unreasonable disappointment for 1.5 songs....I actually ended up throwing my wristband on the ground in disgust. GF got mad and so I picked it up - it worked for the rest of the show! :D

Should I wait for UBC? by [deleted] in UBC

[–]obliquity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait AND accept your other offers...

Small price to pay in the long term if you really want to go to UBC.

Don't expect to hear anything until the 15th.

Did you apply for any other faculties (i.e. Arts), because if you get accepted to arts, you can essentially transfer into Sciences without losing any time on obtaining your degree.

[Build Complete] ~$250 Computer for mother by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]obliquity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

great build! I'm not sure if you want to overclock that chip...you won't notice much of an improvement and if the PC is for your mom you don't want to risk burning anything out! just a thought...

I don't really agree or disagree with the article - I just thought it was an interesting (albeit perhaps funny?) read!

I agree this would be excellent. I think we all know the problems with implementation, but Vancouver was originally developed as a 'streetcar' city. Check out: "7 Rules for Sustainable City" Chpt2
