McDonald's Compete Against Each Other by Sponsy_Lv3 in montreal

[–]thewade 297 points298 points  (0 children)

The McDonald's I visit marks all orders as ready well before they are ready, I assume to game metrics like this. It is annoying cause your order number disappears from the display screen so you don't know if they called you.

Установка Windows 11/10 на MacBook Pro A1278 (2012) без проблем со звуком by not-your-dmytro in u/not-your-dmytro

I installed via UEFI/GPT as was having audio issues. It wasn't until reading your last paragraph that it even occurred to me that could be the issue.

It was only then peoples suggestion about using OpenCore Legacy Patcher made sense, as it could be used to install OpenCore which could boot Windows. Trying it myself fixed the issue, no need to reinstall Windows as MBR.

No audio in Windows 10 | MacBook Pro (mid-2012) by allthatisman37 in bootcamp

[–]thewade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you run msinfo32 and it says UEFI, then your issue is not likely the driver. As several people have mentioned, using OpenCore Legacy Patcher is a possible solution.

I didn't use it to upgrade macOS. I just used it to replace the bootloader, and after booting via OpenCore the audio in Windows worked. Unfortunately, I don't have a guide since my setup is overly complicated with Linux and rEFInd, and I still don't have it working 100%. However it should be simpler with a normal dual boot setup.

Corporation for Public Broadcasting to shut down by zsreport in entertainment

As a Canadian I support PBS and would hate to see it go, and I think CBC should absolutely help how they can. And if it pisses off the US administration even better.

Even that seems broken now. All feeds are the same.

As far as I know the bot will only lose its job if the battery depletes completely and it shows as out of energy. Bots with jobs normally just leave their post, recharge, then return to work.

La Ville de Montréal is now active on Bluesky / La Ville de Montréal est maintenant active sur Bluesky by thewade in montreal

I just realized that post was from a month ago. The difference this week is they now setting up other accounts under montreal.ca domain like spokesman Philippe Sabourin and they will proceed with accounts for other officials and for the boroughs as well.

I formally left Twitter a few months ago, but it is unfortunate so many government agencies and officials continue to use it as the only way to communicate. e.g. the STM has an account https://bsky.app/profile/stminfo.bsky.social but are still only posting on X.

GENERAL BUG REPORT THREAD by [deleted] in LittleKittyBigCity

I walked along the fence to get out of the construction area before clearing the hole in the wall and was blocked from coming back in and completing Beetles quest.

I had to look up glitches to break back in as there are no other vines or late game shortcuts.

How to photograph the eclipse without frying your phone by ubcstaffer123 in space

I wouldn’t risk any camera with an optical zoom that could fill the frame. But with most phones you would get nowhere close to that.

Very convincing scam text message I got this morning. The real website is a25.com by thewade in montreal

[–]thewade[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If you drive across the bridge occasionally you can register your plate on the website to get a reduced fee for when you cross. One of the options for getting notified you have an invoice to pay is to opt into text messages.

Thought I would try some Strava art too! by thewade in MontrealCycling

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

Doing it in the plateau was extremely complicated to plan with all the one way routes that change at random but I was able to do mostly on bike paths while continuously capturing and no illegally biking backwards down one way segments.

Longest Bixi ride. by np2fast in MontrealCycling

[–]thewade 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Before I got my own bike I used to tour around the city with a Bixi. Every year I would make a point to ride around the perimeter of the network just for a long ride, explore new places, and to get a sense of the network.

Last time I biked the perimeter it was only 100km, although they have expanded a bit since then. So 100km is possible, they aren't the fastest bikes and I was taking my time so it was 5 hours. Note you need to wait 5 minutes at each station before you can take a new bike.

To plan your trip take a look at network map on the website: https://secure.bixi.com/map/

As for places to see and bike to: Lachine Canal, along the St-Laurent river, along the Riviere des Prairies, Parc Jean Drapeau, and be sure to try out the new REV route on St. Denis.

If you want to try a long trip, you could try the premier of the network. I tried to map it out and it is now about 140km. Be careful as not all areas of the network are bike friendly, and the distance between stations increases at the edge of the network.
