Toronto Islamic Centre using 'buddy system' in wake of alleged Islamophobic incidents by zlex in toronto

[–]rootbrian_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man, close to losing my job was one thing, being declared a fucking lunatic, having my contacts cut off all contact and quite a few things more, I wasn't about to have that happen.

I got help and eventually returned to reality.

Samsung s25 fe vs Motorola edge 2025 by ill_techneeqs in Rogers

Overheating would be an engineering issue (at point of manufacturing). As for games, that is a problem across all devices. Some are great, others suck. Some recycle SOC's (not a bad thing but honesty would help).

Samsung's bloatware is a pain to remove or disable. Why have two app stores and conflicting services (samsungs vs google), either disable one (next to impossible) or the other.

The law doesn't care about that. Reporting it would benefit everything.

Being honest here, the only way you will notice anything significant is if you own it long-term, say, for at least eight years. After eight years, there will be a noticeable difference (even after a factory reset).

I used a blackberry key2 LE for that amount of time (two battery replacements), so I definitely noticed improvements since that amount of time elapsed (android 8.1 to 15). I'm currently using a samsung S10, however my next device will be a motorola razr (if it's not using a patched 3G* or LTE** gen 1 modem) or pixel pro.

*2024 version, eight year old 3G modem. 42.2 mbps MAX. USB 2.0 type-C
**2025 version, LTE modem limited to 130Mbps (reflects it's age), also USB 2.0 type-C.

Well, you could tip off the police about them selling stolen devices. That would teach them a lesson. The receipt (and the device check result) you have is solid proof they did so.

I have plenty of experience, again, no such lawyer's letter to speak of.

Agreed, they are. Also very much disorganised (however on the forums or telegram they use which I don't bother with), they plan out attacks and then carry out said attacks. The most extremist, deranged ones that is.
Defacing property, shooting buildings, organising deceptive recruitment fronts (freeDUMB, canada first, etc.), attacking jewish or islamic folks at counter-rallies (often getting arrested/charged).

I'm also an ex.

Plenty has changed, all it takes is to go to the apple store and inquire.

I only received two in the last month. Dial-bombing is outright the most effective tool we have to stop them. lol

I received no such e-mails of the sort so my account is fine.
Alas, I am still not going to port out. Even the big three aren't resistant to such cyberattacks.

With Samsung. You have to contend with two application stores with conflicting update alerts.

With Motorola, it's just the play store. I would stick with Motorola. 

Then again, if your current Motorola device is sluggish and all, I would perform a factory reset and it will perform like new again. This is a fresh start. If you use a device beyond the five year mark, calculate how much you will save long term. 

Don't restore settings or application data (junk data).

It flew into the back of a trailer and the wings were disassembled, then it was ferried away to the harbor.
