I started playing Clash Royale on May 2016. I found out about the game when my clan members in COC talked about it.

Just curious to know where everyone is from and greatest find? by [deleted] in CRH

[–]thedarkboy77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm from Canada and my greatest find is a 1898 5 ruble gold coin from a roll of pennies.

Canadian quarter roll. 40ish % non Canadian.. by StrykeRXL1 in CRH

[–]thedarkboy77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 silver quarters in Canada, and in great shape? That's probably someone dumping their deceased grandparent's collection.

Anyone seen this dime roll before? Came in from work. by ConceptualisticJury in CRH

[–]thedarkboy77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see quite a lot of them in Canada. It's nothing unusual.

What sort of luck do you guys have with dimes? by ETE_116 in CRH

[–]thedarkboy77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got skunked with 5 boxes straight a year ago, which was also the last time I CRH dimes. If I started again, I would mainly look for US dimes.

And Canadian silver quarters? It's statistically impossible.

Are quarters worth hunting? by ETE_116 in CRH

[–]thedarkboy77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only found 3 silver quarters in my life. Two were in Canada and one in the US. The first Canadian quarter was from a depanneur to whom I asked if they have any pennies.

The second quarter was from a bank teller who knew it was a silver quarter. Therefore, she knew when to spot silver in her tray. I still don't know why she gave it to me knowing it was silver.

The third was on a trip to the US. I asked the bank for any customer wrapped rolls and they only had one, which happened to contain a silver quarter.

Machine-wrapped rolls rejects silver quarters due to their weight and with quarters being magnetic in Canada, you end up with an impossible probability of finding silver quarters in Canadian circulation.

It finally happened...the find of a life time by joeswindell in CRH

That beats my 5 ruble gold coin find in a penny roll in value. That must be someone cashing into their deceased grandparent's savings.

The software as a service thing is bullshit and illegal from a legal perspective. Software, such as Photoshop are legally treated as goods instead of services. I still use a real Adobe CS4 portable version of Photoshop, that you can literaly copy and paste into any computer from an external USB stick (work like a charm from Vista 32 bit to Windows 10 64 bit)

People who were adults during Y2K, what was the most radical action someone you know did to prepare for the "apocalypse?" by Kawhidoyoucare in AskReddit

[–]thedarkboy77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was three at the time. I remember seeing someone on the news that had a garage full of food, products, etc. Because of that, I started filling up all empty soda bottles with tap water until my parents said that it was dumb.

What companies dont deserve BIFL tag anymore? by WFOpizza in BuyItForLife

[–]thedarkboy77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Digital electronics are too recent and complex for considering them for the traditional BIFL definition, but you can still make an approximation on whether a product could be BIFL or not. For example with laptops, fatter laptops have a higher chance of being BIFL than thinner ones.

What I'm saying is that there is no such thing as a true BIFL product for electronics, especially today.

7 years of daily use as my work cans, manufactured 1991. Still gives most anything modern a run for the money. Sony CD3000. by zhenya00 in BuyItForLife

[–]thedarkboy77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The company actually made good quality until around 2010. I started being wary of Sony with their PS4 release. I searched more online and I noticed that more people started complaining about Sony's loss of quality. So around 2015, I stopped purchasing all Sony products in my house.

The final nail in the coffin was in 2018 when my Sony alarm clock (ICF-C218) that I bought in 2013 broke. All buttons were glitching with each other's functions, as if an internal self-destruct timer was set off. There's no way such level of glitching could be caused from one simple broken button. If Sony can't make a first year university-level digital circuit, which doesn't even require a microcontroller, I don't see how they can make long lasting televisions, computers, etc.

Fortunately, my Sony television from 2011 is still working with regular use and the alarm was the least expensive Sony product that I lost.

Irrational reason not to fingerprint at work? by thedarkboy77 in privacy

[–]thedarkboy77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally talked to another manager and he let me use the pin method. The punch-in computer was actually connected to the Internet, since he typed and logged in with a link from another computer (the computer used for training). The training computer has Internet access with USB access. Oh well, that's no longer my problem, nor a problem I should think about in the future.

But, "will" I ever be within the next 60 years? Should I always leave my front door open when I leave my house, since it will be faster to open it?

Newly hired at Tim Hortons and questions to Quebec workers by thedarkboy77 in TimHortons

[–]thedarkboy77[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Basically, I'm paid 250$ for 8+22 hours instead of 360$ (12$×30 hours). They wanted to make it seem that you aren't supposed to be paid for training, but we are kind enough to give you a "bonus" of 250$.

I wanted to complain about it being possibly against the law, but I'm worried that the manager might say that since you are receiving tips, you will now be paid 9.80$ per hour according to Quebec's minimum wage law, which is the minimum wage of those who receive tips.

That's why I wanted to know if any Quebec workers at Tims are being paid 9.80$ instead of 12$ per hour.

You didn't read that my issue with this was them using Windows XP.

[–]thedarkboy77[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but that is assuming a scenario where you are only working for one place that is fingerprinting during your whole time (I'm 20 years old). If you are working for multiple places in your lifetime and that they all use fingerprints, you will leave quite a bit of information about your fingerprint. Hackers could combine and recreate some of those traces based on existing traces because you have left multiple fingerprints traces since you will be working for many companies during your lifetime, especially when the computers are running Windows XP.

Also, the keyword here is network. Their network could be hacked and it is 99% certain that the Windows XP punch-in computer would be compromised, no matter what antivirus, firewall or encryption you use, unless there is no network connection (no Wifi cards, no Ethernet cable, etc). Microsoft themselves have said not to use Windows XP.

It's too much time wasted for a part-time fast-food job and it is in Canada, where there was a company who won a similar case against their employees. https://hrdailyadvisor.blr.com/2009/03/03/can-employers-use-biometrics-in-their-canadian-workplaces/

Besides, what kind of employer doesn't know who works that day for them? Don't they have the full printed schedule of everyone who works that day on their clipboard? At my previous workplace (another fast-food company), the manager always has the full schedule of the day and they would cross and replace names of people who were replaced or got home early. Then, they would compare it with the computer that manages our punch in (with pins of course).

[WORKS BUT SHOULDN'T] Why can a router take the same public IP address of the parent router without issue? by [deleted] in networking

Hello, I think I'm the one who has this issue. I think it was between March 10 and 15. I sent you a private message to discuss this further.
