My dad somehow managed to install a solitaire game full of adware and fake overlays on his phone. So I've had to do a crash course in Android security.

N.B. Power wants flexibility from power-hungry data centres | CBC News N.B. Power says it’s not alarmed by the electricity needs of a proposed data centre in the Lorneville area of Saint John but will be looking for flexibility from such centres on their consumption.

You know that feeling you get when you're being lied to, and you kinda feel you know why, but starting a list would take you all day? I'm getting that right now. #nbpower #nbpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

LOL, nope. Maybe if I weren't remote.

Somebody just said that "eating your own dogfood" means using our own software to demonstrate to customers that it's so good that even we use it.
That's not what it means!
It means "I use it, so when there's an issue, I know about it right away and fix it."

I am in hell. A day long company wide meeting where they ramble about cloud and AI. And nothing else is getting done today.

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

I'm playing the new (to console) story mission "Best Laid Plains", and I have a daily endeavor to do physical damage. So here I am punching Thaseen-Fei in the crotch. It gives one pause; Considering the themes of arc, and what's about to happen to her in the next cut-scene. #StarTrekOnline

Didn't the movie open with Bond being retired and Nomi being the new 007, and end with her and Q, and Moneypenny and the whole gang all together? Why not just make your new movie about that?

Yeah, that's how they getcha. We normally keep them in the barn, and if Toyota can't get us a timely appointment, the Canadian Tire in Sussex can get it done within a week at most. But free is free. And after this, once we've spent all the promo shit, they're goin' back in the barn!

Toyota has our winter tires in storage because free storage and tire changes came with the car. And we tried to get an appointment thinking 2 weeks advance should be enough but the soonest they could get us in was more than a month out. So spare me the "first snowfall on all-seasons" meme!

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Saint John residents turn data open house into town hall to question proponents | CBC News Proponents of a data centre for the Spruce Lake Industrial Park held an open house to answer questions about the project. The co-founders of the two companies, VoltaGrid and Beacon AI Centres, instead...

We're suffering unprecedented drought, and have just been through possibly the worst wildfire season in our history. Why the fuck would we build a data center here? #nbpoli

I thought he was going to take my rook, take my pawn, then drag out a king and rook checkmate all weekend long. Instead he gave me his rook on a silver platter. Now I'm up 2 pieces, but my king is too far away to do anything about it, and we're probably still headed for a draw.

And any independent press who aren't owned by major corporations are afraid of getting sued for libel if they call out obvious lies. They may be right, and they may be able to prove it, but the legal fees will bury them.

And it doesn't help that the press have no spine, and anyone with any authority are basically complicit.

Some situations are harder to prove. Like we all know Bush was probably lying about Iraq having WMDs. But was he lying? Or was he acting on bad intel? RFK is lying about the Tylonol thing. But is he lying? Or did somebody slip him a bad study claiming it was real? And how do you prove that in court?

You have to prove not only that something they said was false, but that they knew it was false at the time, and weren't themselves mislead or mistaken. It's a difficult thing to prove in a legal sense. Especially when matters of "personal opinion" further muddy the waters.

It’s tough to watch where N.B. is headed: Higgs - New Brunswick | Globalnews.ca New Brunswick's Tories need to be united and have a clear Conservative identity, says former premier Blaine Higgs at a party conference Saturday.

I hate self checkouts. They always somehow error out and need assistance. I have a degree in computer science, but I need a high school kid to show me how to use an automated cash register.

yeah. that sounds scary.
