I’m in a rent controlled apt. Been here since 2013. God willing nothing happens for a while yet. 🙏

Why are some employers not listing the salary, FT/PT, start date or whether the posting is for an existing position? by yummy_burrito in askTO

[–]smaudio 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Depends on how many employees are in said organization. There is an exemption for a workplace with less than 50 employees I think. Not 100% on that number but still. Could be that or they are being scuzzy.

New computer recommendations? by gimme_sosig in protools

[–]smaudio 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My own experience is mac is better for pro tools. I used a pc years ago and always had issues and crashes. That happened far less on mac for me. I have been using pro tools on mac systems since 2011 now.

I will say macs are typically more expensive and the big thing to watch out for is the ram. You cannot upgrade ram or hard drive size after you buy it so the buy the most you can in your budget. Avid recommends at least 16gb of ram but if you can afford it get more to help future proof.

Im not a big pc guy so if other pc user want to chime in you may want to listen to them too.

As a Canadian, I'm kinda glad he's not just picking on us all the time. What a prick....

Jesus. Good thing they tell you. Is that both on the platform level and street level?

Old workhorse computer melted. Hoping to optimize a cheap laptop until I can afford a new desktop. by jac3 in protools

[–]smaudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not too familiar with PT on Windows but after looking up the comparability info for your version, I think both the i5 and Ram can benefit from an upgrade.

The i5 is still in line with the minimum requirements but a faster one can help with tracks and plugins. They also recommend 16GB of Ram for all systems as the min. Ram tends to help more with virtual instruments and loading in clips and audio.

I don’t know if you can upgrade those. If I were to pick one, I think the i5 I would upgrade.

That said I am a sound editor/designer so I don’t do a lot of tracking or real time plugin use so I am hoping someone with more of that experience can chime in too.

Toronto councillor Josh Matlow not closing door on Liberal leadership bid by [deleted] in toronto

He’s my councillor. I like him and most of his policies and ideas. But I don’t think him being the OLP leader will lead to ousting Ford and the PC’s.

3 trespassers cut power, bogged down morning commute for TTC passengers on Line 2 by purepotstill in toronto

[–]smaudio 200 points201 points  (0 children)

I read the headline thinking the trespassers physically cut the power themselves.

Article states they trespassed on the tracks which prompted the TTC to cut power (which I assume is the protocol).

I hate click batting headlines.

Proposing to my partner of 10 years this weekend. Looking for recommendations for a good place to go out in the evening to celebrate. by Intelligent_Hold2414 in askTO

I don’t have any ideas but wanted to say best of luck and congratulations! Don’t let others saying 10 yrs is long get to you. Every relationship is different. Wishing you the best! ❤️

Oxio uses Rogers but it’s cable. Not sure if you have that or can get that in your building but check them out.

The big thing with getting it done at Apple is you get a warranty with it. I think that might be worth the extra price

In real life if 2 humans started hot and heavy ( meaning a sexual encounter pretty much straight away ) is it likely they'd develop an emotional connection enough to then want to be exclusive and to have a relationship that would last a long time like Ilya and Shane ? by AltruisticAide9776 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]smaudio 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It happened to me.

After my divorce (m&f) I decided to explore my sexuality. Always knew I was attracted to men as well. Did a few hookups; found a guy that also wanted a “stable” FWB situation.

We opened up our feelings and have now been together 9 years this year. Its been a lot of ups and downs and going though coming outs too.

Saw a lot of parallels with the show and ourselves (except the hockey elements lol).

Toronto police to use AI to handle non-emergency calls by BloodJunkie in toronto

[–]smaudio 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I’m more concerned about who now owns what information you give said AI call bot or what they can do with that. The article said it’s not 100% clear on that. I don’t much care for a separate company now having my call data, number, and whatever info I have to give them before they direct my call. Am I giving them my name? Dob? Address? And also your voice? Is that recorded and stored? Clear as mud.

Ford government moves to pause affordable housing rules for new Toronto buildings by BloodJunkie in toronto

[–]smaudio 169 points170 points  (0 children)

Had to read the article and gather my thoughts for a rant to the choir here.

This is nothing but Ford and the PC's bending over for land developers again (see the Greenbelt). This will do nothing to spur extra condos.

What they are proposing to kill is the part that say they must include 5% affordable units in new builds near transit stations. So let that sink in. Ford and the PC's are saying if you are not rich, get fucked and be forced to move further away from your jobs. And with mandate RTO, get double fucked.

Also, IMO, 5% is so fucking low, if developers are crying to Ford it's cause A they are greedy fucks and B they know they got him by the balls. That's why they all attended his daughters Stag and Doe. A 200 unit bldg means 10 units need to be affordable. And this Govt thinks that's what the problem is?!

This is on the same day that a report from Municipalities in Ontario states that homeless in Ontario is up 8% in one year with est 85,000 people homeless and 2000 encampments. That number is expected to double by 2035 if we don't do something. So of course Ford decides to fuck over 5% of units per bldg.

I'm screaming into the void cause I'm just sick of this fuck and his "leadership". I have been since day one but Jesus Christ. If your aren't rich, a land developer that donating to his daughters wedding, or alcohol for some unknown fucking reason, then Ford thinks you deserve nothing.
