  • no, the one you put is the "official" french canadian one, used mostly by gov, but everyday people are using the "normal" one

    This is why we have not conquered the world yet :)

    Do you not use BEPO ?

  • French Canadian keyboard is QWERTY but with all kind of symbol, like the 1 to = top row can give

    with shift !"/$%?&*()_+

    with altcar ±@£¢¤¬¦²³¼½¾

    We also have the µ¯§¶«»°

    and we can do all kind of Èîöç etc

  • eille wow non étant Français, AZERTY c'est cool :)

    ¤ is the currency symbol

  • Remember to only buy items on sale, all the others ones are overinflated. For instance the ratchet kit at $699 will go on sale at 80% off every 2 months, etc.

  • Same problem in Montréal, thousands of empty condos, they are small and expensive. And condo fee kill the deal compared to owning a house...

  • This is what I was thinking, when more and more phone offer 5000+, samsung offer 20% less...

  • 3900mAh ?!? what?!? sure you cannot do a day without charging it, pretty lame. And it's so thin you'll bend it.

  • Yes, at least seeing a 50yo guy like me. We come from the 8bit world, there was no linux!

  • In University. In the 90s we used commercial un*x (HP-UX, IRIX, AIX, Solaris/SunOS, SCO) and some others like SVR4, BSD, Minix. Then a guy on usenet talked about making is own kernel running on a 386. My first real full linux install was kernel 0.99 on a 486DX50, around 1993, came in multiple floppies, then to install X11 that was like 10 more floppies! Configuring things was a bit nighmarish.

  • Also, when I think Mafia in Ontario, I think construction.

    oh boy, Montréal, construction is 100% run by mafia it's incredible, at every level

  • hé, I'm in Québec, I'd need a nice ride in buses with thousands of others Canadians to tell Alberta we love them!

  • 35 difference in Terrebonne riding in QC, Liberals won.

  • PoCo F3, it is 4 years old, was a bomb at the time for ~$400

  • We do not have them in Québec, mostly because CON is a lost cause here, and anyway they would write SMS in english, it's an automatic red flag here to receive SMS in english.

  • budget phones have a bad reputation.

    They are slow as hell... A quick reference is antutu benchmark... this brand new A36 has a score of ~550k, my 2021 old phone has ~800k and it is still snapy and all, but no more update, so it's a choice...

  • yup, used pico with pine 30 years ago (I'm old) and switch to nano of course, I still use nano about daily (linux maintaining, config file, etc)

  • In Canada we have mandatory DRL (Daytime Running Lights) and often, cars use high beam with a low voltage or PWM. When people replace their standard bulbs with LED bulb, it means during the day you are flashed by high beam in your eyes, even in full summer at noon you can be completely blinded by cars coming towards you, it's fucking annoying!

  • I still have my old HP Mini311 netbook, AntiX or Linux MX 32bits works well on it.

  • yeah I got a good 10cm of snow this morning, north of Montréal
