As a Canadian it pains me to say this, but Nanoleaf makes the absolute worst smart lights.

I should have just stuck with Philips Hue which were bulletproof for nearly a decade.

TIL that OpenAI doesn’t allow you to change your email address help.openai.com/en/articles/...

I guess this is understandable for a startup. Maybe once they are worth $10 trillion they’ll get the resources they need to allow this.

It will be interesting to see when ARC Raiders eventually details their matchmaking algorithm.

For my first 20 hours they definitely seemed to be putting me with players who were more talkative and forgiving.

But recently I seem to be getting put into games where no one talks and shoots on sight.

I have scattered citrus chunks around my property line as the final attempt to deter skunks following the Geneva Conventions.

If this fails it will become todo list instead.

It really is impressive how quickly Battlefield 6 is trying to kill itself. They seem obsessed with fragmenting their player base amongst new modes rather than releasing big Battlefield style maps.

It really is amazing how even after 10+ years Apple Watch apps that need to make on-demand network requests are functionally unusable.

They just spin loading indicators until you get tired and pull your phone out.

After this Blue Jays loss I’ve reached the same place as I have with the Maple Leafs.

Life is just too short to waste so much energy cheering for Toronto sports teams.

Battlefield 6’s downfall will be its maps.

At this moment there isn’t a map / game mode I want to play over the others. Just ones that I avoid like the plague.

US Ambassador threatens to tariff, annex, and bomb Canada if anti-American sentiment doesn't improve
OTTAWA - U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra has vowed to improve anti-American sentiment he sees in Canada, no matter how many illegal tariffs, forced annexations, or literal bombs it takes to do it.

It is shocking how untested the change email flow is for so many companies.

Several times I’ve had it confirm the change went through but it didn’t.

Now I’m unable to log in to the app after changing the email successfully on the website 🤷🏻‍♂️

I tried DuckDuckGo for a week but it just doesn’t have the same level of data as Google.

Numerous times a day DuckDuckGo couldn’t give me an answer so I’d copy the query over to Google and get it immediately.

PSA for any Canadians who have an Analogue device that they are considering sending into the US for repairs. You’ll effectively have to buy the device again with all the duties and taxes you’ll be charged when it comes back across the border.

OK I am a ChatGPT convert.

I wanted to purchase tickets to an exhibition in Japan but you can only do that via kiosks in convenience stores that are solely in Japanese.

By simply telling ChatGPT what I was trying to do and taking pictures of every step it worked perfectly.
