Of course, but it’s entirely unrelated to the body of the article.

Absolutely. This has made me acutely aware that my days with MS are numbered.

For existing customers, the price hike won’t be kicking in until plan renewal, and there are options to downgrade the plan. Those who want to avoid using AI can downgrade the plan to the “Classic” or “Basic” Microsoft 365 plans.

Thankfully we can roll back to the “Classic Family Plan” without the AI features. But annoying that they automatically switched plans and I had to switch back. If I didn’t see this article I’d be up for a big price hike when it renewed.

Yeah I agree. I have this fear at all levels of politics as things continue to get more and more toxic.

Sad to see, I feel like she did a lot of good such with walkability and cycling infrastructure. We can only hope someone similar comes along.

In September, Plante closed comments on her social media posts, saying her replies had been dominated by abusive language for months.

I wonder if this has something to do with her stepping down.

It’s totally obscene. I traveled to the USA recently for 5 days and my options were:

i) Pay Telus $14/day * 5days = $70 (plus tax)

ii) Buy a US 30GB 10-day esim for $11.27 taxes included.

Plus in option i) I’d be using the data from my own data plan. Unless you really need to be able to use SMS and receive calls, it’s really a no brainer. Especially with how easy esims are to setup, I just had to switch a setting in my phone when I crossed the border. Crazy part is, if it was ``only" twice the price, I’d probably have just paid Telus.

Yes I agree. To me this sends the message ``best case you keep the money, worst cause you have to pay it back." No true penalty.

The $38.9 million fine Cineplex has now been handed is equivalent to the amount it collected from consumers through the $1.50 online booking fee between June 2022 and December 2023.

This is already way harsher than corporations usually get but I can’t help but wish it was more that all they got because they come out with no actual loss.

Everyone’s hating but honestly fair enough move.

On the whole, nobody uses Bing or takes it seriously anyways and so I guess they have to find their niche. It’s certainly not aimed at us (Lemmy/Fediverse users) who are generally more privacy conscious. If it can attract some mainstream users (e.g., Google users, people like your parents, etc) or stop some users from immediately switching their search engine to Google, then it might be a good decision for them.

Bing providing the exact same service as Google but worse clearly wasn’t working for them.

I agree very disappointing. I find it increasingly difficult since Twitter closed its doors to those signed in as my account is long deleted.

Nice news. Money only starts flowing in 2 years though and then it takes many many years for stuff to get built on top of that. Wish we could pick the pace up on these issues.

Sadly I’ve been at this thread and done this already, did not work :(

People think it’s just due to the trackpads being crap (and somehow Windows gets around it). I’ll probably never need to buy another laptop, but if I do I will probably not buy a Dell again regardless of how much I love every other aspect of this laptop.

Still sad because my Precision 5560 (same as XPS 9510) has this floaty trackpad bug on Ubuntu and Pop OS for whatever reason! (I haven’t tried any other distro). Much easier for me to swap to Linux on my laptop than my desktop because my laptop is just for Python, LaTeX, and MATLAB.

Dell even sells a 5560 with Ubuntu preinstalled, but they don’t make it available for users. But I have not for the life of me been able to get the track-pad bug to go away.

There are users that complain about it from over a year ago. Maybe it’s a slow rollout, or some game of cat-and-mouse where my ublock isn’t updating for some reason.

But I can still search from the browser search bar and I get results. It’s when trying to edit my search that I get problems.

Except starting this week, Qwant has started blocking me for using an adblocker. I’ve had to block Javascript to get around it.

Yeah probably something like that. During the conservative debates Aitchinson seemed very reasonable but whenever I see media reporting on him now, he seems less so.

Yup came to comment this. The number is certainly more than half. Second line:

More than two in five (43%) of Canadians say they know very little or nothing about the topic, reports TECHNATION.

This is just self-reported.

Yes this statement was quite frankly hilarious. I’m certain that the mafia has moved onto stealing bread for black-market redistribution. Or maybe they themselves can no longer afford to shop at Lowblaws.
