They are doing you a favor. I bought my kid a Dell laptop (xps13) for college and 6 months later the battery life dropped from 12 hours to 2 and Dell support said it was normal and refused to do anything about it. That was after the original order which was supposed to take 6 weeks for delivery (bad enough) actually took 14 weeks. It arrived two days before they left for school. Worst experience ever.
The replacement MacBook Air was delivered to their dorm the next day and has been flawless since (over a year now). It actually cost less too.
I’m actively looking for opportunities to use AI to replace the work I do, and not finding many effective ones so far. Sure it can write some crappy code for me, but writing code comes after the hard part, which is identifying the problem and how it could be solved with tech. Novel problems need novel solutions and an LLM can’t generate those.
Soundbooth Theater does “audio immersion” versions of some books and they are amazing. It is genre fiction, but if it they are your genres then you should check them out! (Horror, fantasy, sci-fi, etc)
I moved from Canada to the USA, and what I have seen is that Canada is less unequal than the US. If you are working class in Canada there is at least some social safety net. In the US the rich are richer and the poor are poorer. Canada is moving that way but still has more protections for those on the bottom.
Does it matter? Housing should be a right, not an investment. The reliance on housing as a savings mechanism has driven up the cost of housing in Canada. No one (wealthy) wants housing values to drop, as it would destroy their retirement resources.
Public safety should be the government’s responsibility. Why are they expecting a private foreign organization to do their job? And to be penalized for doing it?
This was such an obvious result of their passing C-18 that their complaints just amplify their ignorance and lack of foresight passing bills to appease local media lobbyists.
If they end early it is because they ran out of supplies, and if they run it longer it is because they have too much. No one is trying to be a dick, or be nice. It is just inventory.
There are lots of docker deployment examples, and no reason it shouldn’t run in docker on windows. It supports Ubuntu containers.

My Dreamcast… I had almost every game downloaded and there was so much choice I never committed to anything and got bored. It taught me a lesson about piracy and the value of attention.
Same. Helping to trickle down, unlike actual rich people.
