This is an A+ meme
Makes zero sense. The provincial government should stick to provincial matters instead of trying this dumb populist play to win rural votes by sticking their fingers into municipal matters.

It's never described like this, but I think this move opens the door for the province to tighten the screws on cigarette sales, potentially opening the door for a cigarette ban now. The alcohol sales are a lifeline for convenience stores for when they lose cigarettes.

Tinc has weird limitations and Wireguard completely obsoletes it. There's zero reasons to ever consider using Tinc when Wireguard exists.

How are the alternatives any better? Download a DEB that executes arbitrary code, signed with some .asc that's sitting in the same webserver? Download an EXE?
Your comment is so rambley that I can't understand whether you're criticizing the distribution method or the packaging. Both of those are very different in terms of attack surface, if you're talking about supply chain attacks.

In Canada, these machines used to have glass bottles. (20oz?) Anyone else remember that?

The detailed disclosure PDF (88 pages) is a great read if you're interested in the gory details. The team here did excellent work and there's a lot of interesting avenues opened for future research.

I could be wrong here, but I think the common interpretation here is wrong. The risk is not that the wires overheat and cause a fire. The risk is that the card draws too much current from a single 12V power rail on your PSU, sustained for a long time, and that burns out the power rail on your PSU.
I have a 6950 XT that I used with a 850W PSU that was connected incorrectly according to the diagram, with multiple connectors coming off a single rail. After about 6 months, one day my SSD stopped working, and after some tinkering, I realized that if I plugged it into a different 12V connector, it started working! I had burned out one of the 12V rails on my power supply, and I strongly suspect it was my incorrect wiring into my 6950 XT that caused it. (edit: I got a new PSU and never looked back)

Ford, Stellantis, GM, Honda, Toyota: source (click "Made in Canada"). Both countries assemble many cars where parts are made in the US/Canada/Mexico (see: NAFTA/CUSMA aka USMCA)
edit: also for context, auto manufacturing is a big political football here in Ontario, with politicians always announcing funding and looking for photo ops around it because they're big employers in manufacturing

I’m tired of paying more for less
You're completely mistaken if you think the US model is the solution - you have it completely backwards. The US has one of the highest healthcare costs in the world with WORSE healthcare outcomes. They have the highest spending per capita in the OECD. Also, higher mortality at birth, lower life expectancy, etc. In no uncertain terms, the US pays more for less, and this has been extensively studied and is why any sane government wants to avoid that model.

The thing is, nothing gets done unless the government regulates it. The industry would just keep pumping out ICE vehicles. The only reason we have EVs at all is because most car companies saw the writing on the wall about the very necessary phaseout of ICE and knew this would be legislated sooner or later. I fully expect EVs will have either great range or super fast charging by 2035 because the market will be there to support it. (Regulating is solves the chicken and the egg problem - it guarantees demand so it de-risks investing in EV tech for the entire supply chain.)

It just moves the pollution to places you don’t see it, like power plants, rare metal mines
The thing is, many places already have power that is free of CO2 emissions and mines are not huge CO2 emitters (afaik).
As a case point: In Toronto, 30% of our emissions are from vehicles, 60% from buildings (natural gas heating mostly). If we ran all EVs, that 30% emissions from vehicles would be eliminated because nearly all our power either comes from hydro dams or nuclear power plants. And there's no shortage of power either - we have loads of excess capacity at night, when everyone would charge their cars.
I think you're getting downvotes because you're misinformed about the cost/benefits of EVs and the broader important (and urgency) of reducing carbon emissions. It's such a critical and urgent challenge that we have to tackle this to avoid huge impacts on our economies due to heating of the climate (crop failures, flooding, more severe weather, erosion, wildfires, etc.).

"The website says so, so it must be true". There's no source for their data, ergo it's bullshit.
Regardless of whatever this screenshot says, Air Canada isn’t donating anything to US political parties because it’s illegal for it to do so.

The sole moderator doesn't even follow their own rules: https://lemmy.ca/post/22741340?scrollToComments=true I'll just say it - it's a Russian propaganda community. Is there any reason this community needs to exist on Lemmy.ca? Is there a rule against blatant astroturfing / propaganda / misinformation? I don't think the 5 rules in the sidebar are going to be enough to stop an army of trolls: > No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, > or xenophobia. > Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here. > No porn. > Use the NSFW tag when needed. > No Ads / Spamming. > Bot accounts need to be flagged as such in their settings. Maybe time to get ahead of it?
The 2TB is on sale too. All sizes keep going up and down on price, with this being the ATL. This was on sale for this price at the start of the week, then it went up to like $95, so who knows what the real regular price is.
I preordered a Seasonic Vertex PX-1200 (aka. 1200P, Platinum) back in January and Seasonic told me the Vertex series would be widely available that month. It's now July and while the Gold (GX series) Vertex PSUs have been released, there's no signs that the P series ever shipped. Anyone have any idea what's up with that? Are they actually going to ship or are they going to cancel the product line?
