If Nancy Pelosi caused the insurrection why didn't your people try to charge her instead of focusing on Hunter Biden?

I think CBC's article on the layoffs yesterday included the real problem:

"The source of this is a dividend policy that has really become out of whack," added Horan.

BCE will now pay a quarterly dividend of 99.75 cents per common share, up from 96.75 cents per share, the company said Thursday. Dividends are a portion of earnings that companies pay out to their shareholders, usually every quarter.

"Typically, the companies pay about 50 per cent of their earnings in dividends, and they're up to about 130 per cent right now of their earnings. So I think that's pressuring the company to produce more free cash flow."

It's technically a Canadian Press article, but the CTV copy linked here yesterday didn't have that part.

PalWorld being number 2 is pretty impressive considering it only came out on the 19th. I suppose the huge number of players would make up for the relatively limited time.

Reader mode will get around that

The 30% fee developers keep complaining about has been in place from the start, so they really should have protested the app store at launch. Now they're too dependent on app revenue for any kind of protest.

Is it sold by the same seller as last time? Lots of stuff on Amazon is actually sold by someone else and different sellers can have wildly different prices.

I've got some bad news for you...

The manual fix requires the recovery partition to be after the OS partition, while my partitions go Recovery, EFI/System, then OS. I guess I'm just SOL? I don't even have BitLocker enabled but an update that won't install is going to be annoying.

They left out lupus. Always gotta rule out lupus.

According to Engadget's coverage of the first model with the touchscreen case, the case mostly just lets you use functionality from the app that goes with the earbuds without actually going into the app. I don't use the apps for my earbuds or headphones, so I can't say how useful quicker access to their functionality would be.

They already went through this two years ago in Canada with Loblaws and it only lasted about 2 months.

But Prime is $99 in Canada vs $140 in the US, so it's a bigger increase percentage-wise

He's gotten into wrestling for WWE, and he's actually pretty good at it. He's probably getting paid pretty well there.

Have you tried DIGImend kernel drivers? That seems to have some support for the tablet, although there's an open issue around it. It supports installing from source so it might be more flexible than the installer for the official drivers.

The government’s fall economic statement announced an increase to the Canadian Journalism Tax Credit, a refundable tax credit allowing qualifying news outlets to claim up to 35 per cent of up to $85,000 in salary for a qualified employee.

That’s an increase from the credit’s initial allowance of 25 per cent of up to $55,000 in salary per employee.

Of course, as a news article from a news organization, it has quotes from someone in the business saying the change is good.

Hopefully Congress can at least get funding dealt with properly before the election so there's no opening for sore losers to cause a shutdown.

How much would a shut down mess up inauguration day?

In Safari I just had to switch to Reader mode

The Epic Games Store isn't profitable so it may not be a good example for how fees should be set.

Also, Epic is trying to argue lower fees would benefit consumers but games generally aren't cheaper on Epic's store than on Steam.

The "Sunset" edition of Microsoft Money is still available for free, although not directly from Microsoft anymore. It's old but it can handle regular accounts and investment accounts; no online functionality, but it supports importing OFX files, and QFX files if you change the file extension.
