No, I don't think so.

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 only way I can describe the Titanfall 2 campaign is it's the giant robot game you always wanted subconsciously. It's just great, perfect length.

The online favourite in Zandronum (multiplayer ZDoom) was Alien Vendetta, an awesome Doom2 campaign WAD. (av.wad or av20.wad) It's just super solid with lots of variety and good pacing. Made by a bunch of different mappers.

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)

Must be hard work writing these low-effort 1 liner troll comments in every thread. Hope you're getting paid for it because otherwise... well....

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.

Federal law prohibits contributions, donations, expenditures(including independent expenditures) and disbursements solicited, directed, received or made directly or indirectly by or from foreign nationals in connection with any federal, state or local election.

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.

 

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?
