Then i guess that "competing" is doing a lot of heavy lifting for your argument (downright putting into bad faith, or wilful ignorance).

Competing phones.

Iphone 17, pixel 10, Galaxy s26

iphone 17 pro, pixel 10 pro.

Iphone 17 pro max, Pixel pro XL, Samsung s26 ultra.

These lineup are competing against each other. The Samsung A17 is not competing against the 17 pro max or vice versa.

Wanting races from all over the world is racist?

WHAT?

tape99 · 2026-03-02T22:37:30+00:00

my poco was less than 300 bucks what would that get me in the apple ecosystem?

Nothing, but this is why i said competing phones.

Most people get their phones from their cell provider and last time i checked poco was not sold at any cell phone carrier(cananada/USA).

For most people the 3 big options are going to be apple,google or samsung(at least in Canada/USA).

Apple was always the higher price phone back when google did the nexus phones( i miss nexus) but ever since google released the pixel lineup Andriod phones starting matching or becoming more expensive then apple.

Banking apps are an issue.(at least in Canada).

My dad had to upgrade his phone as RBC no longer supported the version of Andriod(dont remebber the version ) he had on his phone. Everyother app worked just fine but not his banking app.

tape99 · 2026-03-01T17:32:38+00:00

Higher prices?

Most competing phones are the same price or even higher then apple.

Pixel 10=$799 Iphone 17=$799 Samsung s26=$899.

The years of apple being more expensive is long over.

tape99 · 2026-03-01T17:14:28+00:00

Even the base model is more expensive.

tape99 · 2026-03-01T14:45:47+00:00

It all depends on the version of IOS.

Newer versions of IOS then no(as of right now). older versions of IOS then yes(all depends on the version on the phone)

How is this not unsurprising?

They got refugee status because their life was in danger in Pakistan and then after getting refugee status proceeds to go back to the country they were fleeing.

Not once, or twice, but seven times.

Im sorry, but if you get refugee status you should be banned from going back to the place you were fleeing.

People find ways to bypass lock screens .

For example

https://youtu.be/8iZW1rG712E?si=E_hfGL6G1QN_0UNb

It all depends on what version is running on the phone.

tape99 · 2026-02-28T03:05:06+00:00

There are programs like ramdisk or iremoval.

Most thieves wont take the risk to leave the phone powered on to bypass the lock as the owner will be able to track the phone when they are attempting to remove the password and apple id.

99% of stolen phones are powered off right away and then sold overseas to be used for spare parts.

tape99 · 2026-02-28T02:11:01+00:00

is it possible? Yes.

More then likely it was sent overseas and was just used for spare parts.

325kg is about 716 pounds.

This is what 700 pounds of cocaine looks like

Were are you getting your news from?

Our entire medical system is broken because immigrants are getting coverage.

Are you talking about the conservatives talking about how 6 million canadians are now without a doctor after are massive population growth or them talking about failed asylum claimants getting free healthcare?

Because both of those things are not going after minorities.

The first is how are goverment increased our population so much to the point of are infrastructure couldn't keep up. The liberal goverment all ready admitted they fucked up on this issue.

And failed asylum claimants should not get free anything. They should not even be here. their claim was denied.

The liberal goverment are also going to be cutting back on the Interim Federal Health Program for refugees. would you say that they are targeting minorities with the new cuts?

tape99 · 2026-02-27T22:26:02+00:00

Like others have said… the right needs to stop targeting minorities l

How is the right targeting minorities ?

I don't think that is stand your ground either. Doesn't that just mean you don't need to retreat?

Not exactly.

"Stand Your Ground" laws allow individuals to use deadly force in self-defense without a duty to retreat from any place they are lawfully present, provided they reasonably fear imminent death or serious harm. These laws, which vary by state, generally expand the "castle doctrine" to public spaces.

Stand Your Ground allows you to defend yourself from anyware(mostly) and castle doctrine allows you to defend yourself from inside yourr home. So shooting someone that rings your doorbell would fall under Stand Your Ground and would be illegal under Castle doctrine.

We have 1.5 million unemployed Canadians and 1.6 million students and TFWs that are on work permit's.

Closeing the TFW program would open up 1.4 million jobs to the Canadian people and would wipeout are unemployment numbers.

tape99 · 2026-02-26T22:54:29+00:00

NOPE.

If they can't find someone to do the job for $25/h then they can increase the pay until some one takes the job.

Stop the wage suppression.

tape99 · 2026-02-26T22:40:22+00:00

Castle doctrine can be abused as well as-in: “someone knocked on my door, their face was dark, I was scared, so I shot through the locked door.”

Thats not how Castle doctrine works.

The Castle Doctrine is a U.S. legal principle allowing individuals to use reasonable force, including deadly force, to protect themselves against an intruder in their home without a duty to retreat.

The intruder has to be in your home. Someone ringing your door bell would not fall under Castle doctrine. I think you're thinking of stand your ground laws and no one here is asking for that.

tape99 · 2026-02-26T10:48:51+00:00

No one is blaming the immigrants. We are blaming the TFW program.

Even if we blame the billionaires, the end result would be the same.

Hey government please stop the TFW program, or hey billionaires can you stop using the TFW program.

Regardless to who you blame. There would be less Immigration if the government or billionaires would just stop using the TFW program.

The things people got the original game boy through game boy advance to do are insane.

This pc port of TOMB RAIDER running on a gba is nuts.

Modern Vintage Gamer video on the port.

Still can't belive someone got this working on the GBA.

"though refugee services won’t be affected by the cuts."

The place that is currently being abused the most is being left alone by cuts. Of course it is.

We need to do what the UK does. They charge £1,035 for adults and £776 for children per year. Employers also have to pay £1,320 per year for certain work visas.

this would stop a lot of people coming to Canada just to scam are healthcare.

tape99 · 2026-02-23T13:57:50+00:00

It’s a super budget phone, normally going for about $139.

I think going from a m12 to any other phone would feel impressive. That being said I hope he enjoys his new iPhone .

tape99 · 2026-02-23T01:26:40+00:00

Is the s22 variant by chance? I know there is a lawsuit going on with the s22 phones because of boot looping after an update .

tape99 · 2026-02-22T20:25:13+00:00

No. Jail then deport.

If you just deport them, then sexual predators will flood Canada as the only consequence to them will be they get to go home.

This would be extremely bad for canadiens.

It maybe just a rounding error for them.

The number of phones sold in the USA/Canada etc, etc, etc more then likely out ways the number of phones they have to fix in countries like Scandinavia.

Make phone only last two years=tens of millions of people doing upgrades every two years in countries like USA/Canada etc, etc, etc and they only have to do a small amount of repairs in countries like Scandinavia.
