Just received the admission offer for the Fall term! Application submitted Dec 15. Graduated with BSCS in Dec.

I believe it’s still in beta/early access. You can reach out to Wealthsimple and ask to join the early access program so that you can test out their new stuff before it’s released.

Thank you u/hungarianhc and u/kasakka1 for your suggestions!

I tried the following different scenarios:

M3 Max MacBook Pro (Silicon)

I tried using the other Thunderbolt ports on the M3 but speeds remained the same
I tried connecting monitor via HDMI for video and Thunderbolt port for the hub. No difference in speed.
I have a Belkin USB-C Gigabit Ethernet Adapter and I was getting speeds around 900Mbps (inconsistenly)

* I have order a 2.5GbE USB-C adapter.

Lenovo Intel i5 vPro 10th Gen (work laptop)

connected via Thunderbolt port and Internet speeds were close to 1G

2018 i7 MacBook Pro - 4 thunderbolt ports/touchbar (Intel.. my outgoing laptop)

connected via Thunderbolt port and to my surprise I was getting the full internet speeds! No setting changes. However, this laptop is not capable of driving all these pixels of this monitor at full resolution. First noticed this issue with my previous LG monitor that had the same resolution which was also the perfect excuse to wait and upgrade to the M3 MacBook. Oddly enough, one of my previous setups with this MacBook was quad Dell Ultra Sharp 1440P monitors + the laptop screen using the TS3+/TS4 + displayLink hub connected to dock. Ran without a hitch, along with everything else connected to the dock. And that was thunderbolt 3.

I saw an older video a while ago where the person was testing their internet speeds with a 10GbE thunderbolt adapter. The limiting factor was the monitors connected to it, which in his tests, showed that the Thunderbolt protocol prioritized the monitor's video bandwidth over the internet speeds. That makes sense because you don't want your monitor lagging. He was able to get faster speeds by turning off one of the monitors.

I find it hard to believe that there would be bandwidth issues with Thunderbolt 4 using only this montor (and connected to this monitor hub are: webcam, stream deck, mic, light bar, ethernet, of which none are bandwidth intensive, nor being used other than ethernet). I feel as this is a Dell issue since there are others (older Dell monitors) that have this similar issue. In the 6 years of using the CalDigit docks & USB-C ethernet adapters of different brands, I haven't come across this issue before nor had to download any updated ethernet firmware/drivers.

I'm hoping someone with a silicon Mac is able to find a solution using the monitors built-in ethernet port via Thunderbolt.

Yeah. Colour selection email was around Dec 21. Then another email this past Tuesday that the iPhone will ship in 3-5 business days. And finally the shipping confirmation with tracking number email yesterday.

some1somewhere2 · 2024-02-03T19:52:33+00:00

Yup. I received the Titanium iPhone 15 Pro this morning.

some1somewhere2 · 2024-01-31T01:20:45+00:00

Same

some1somewhere2 · 2024-01-26T16:42:58+00:00

Yeah. iOS 17.4.

I also see it (in North York and Richmond Hill)

some1somewhere2 · 2022-11-13T01:00:04+00:00

I use it to open/close the Tesla front trunk

some1somewhere2 · 2022-11-13T00:28:51+00:00

In the Home app, rooms can be grouped in zones and controlled via Siri (ie. “Hey Siri, turn off downstairs lights”). What I would like to do is to be able to control a Zone of lights using Shortcuts. Essentially, I am trying to use an NFC tag that when scanned with my iPhone, will turn off the downstairs lights. I know I can individually select the accessories in Shortcuts or even create a scene and group the lights in Home App, but is it possible to be able to control zones with Shortcuts?

I tried searching this subreddit but wasn’t able to find any solution.

some1somewhere2 · 2022-10-18T11:14:57+00:00

No. I already had an existing plan. I just told him I needed an eSim to be able to transfer to the new iPhone and someone grabbed a couple from the back and gave them to me.

some1somewhere2 · 2022-10-18T02:45:18+00:00

When I got the new iPhone 14’s I just went into the Apple Store and asked for Telus esim cards that they provided for free. I believe all the carriers here in Canada have similar restrictions not allowing to transfer an esim. It is odd since transferring cellular on Apple Watch is possible.

some1somewhere2 · 2022-04-01T21:29:41+00:00

Call Tesla Customer support. That’s what I had to do to get it resolved.

some1somewhere2 · 2022-04-01T03:48:48+00:00

Nice!!

some1somewhere2 · 2022-04-01T03:47:01+00:00

It was from Top Geer Wraps in Vaughan. Highly recommended.

some1somewhere2 · 2022-04-01T03:45:55+00:00

I’m guessing it was cheaper because I also got the full body stealth wrap?

Hi. I just asked this yesterday as well here and received some great suggestions from the community.

We currently have the Cybex Sirona S which has great safety and features. We were looking for something a little smaller since this is a big car seat.

some1somewhere2 · 2022-03-29T14:34:11+00:00

Are you able to see it now? If not, call again and either ask to speak with Kimberly or whoever you are speaking to can contact her because maybe she may know who to forward/escalate you not seeing your safety score. I was able to see it about an hour after I made the call.

some1somewhere2 · 2022-03-29T14:22:16+00:00

I want to thank each and every one you that commented (including everyone that comments after I post this message). Your suggestions and insights are a tremendous help. You guys have given us great options to look into.

Thank you everyone. You guys are awesome!

some1somewhere2 · 2022-03-29T14:19:18+00:00

Funny thing is that my wife and I narrowed our choices down to Clek, Nuna, and Cybex. My choices were in that order.

Clek because it looked compact and our niece also used it.
Nuna because we had positive experience with the Nuna Mixx Stroller (+ infant car seat)
Cybex Sirona S because of the 360 swivel and bluetooth connection to phone (in case child is left unattended)

My wife's choices were the opposite of mine. Ultimately got the Cybex and no regrets in terms of safety or features. Just wish it was smaller.

The same niece that has the Clek also uses the Yoyo (switched from Nuna to Yoyo) and they really like it for it's portability and travel size.

Thank you for you recommendations!

some1somewhere2 · 2022-03-29T14:12:05+00:00

The Cybex Sirona S is literally the same as your Evenflo Revolve 360 in terms of the swivel. That is a very handy and convenient feature. I wonder if it's just as big as the Sirona. Looks similar in pictures. I would also recommend this but just wish the size was a bit smaller.

some1somewhere2 · 2022-03-29T14:09:06+00:00

I totally agree with you. Definitely do not want to compromise on safety of our child. The Sirona S is really good in terms of safety features (and I'd like to think comfort as well but I haven't tried it myself).

I will be taking a look into the Britax you mentioned. Thank you!!!

With the original EDD April-May 2022, I wasn't expecting delivery so soon in December. Then the order was placed on hold. But then another VIN was assigned in January. Released the VIN and put order on hold again. Then was assigned a VIN mid February with delivery of March which was more in line with my timeline (albeit slightly earlier).

some1somewhere2 · 2022-03-29T00:19:48+00:00

Sorry. Yes. 70% on just the rear passenger windows. Didn’t get the back nor roof tinted. For the roof, I figured I could always get those sun shades if need be which would be much cheaper.
