“Arduino will retain its independent brand, tools, and mission, […]”

That’s funny, that’s what Microsoft said about Github. Let see how long Qualcomm “allows” Arduino to retain its independence.

Leclair also faces eight charges from the incident, ranging from dangerous driving, possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking, failure to comply with a demand for a breath sample, and flight from a peace officer.

How many bits of data can a Starling “carry” and is it faster to have a starling fly data across the country to deliver data than it is for the data to be downloaded?

Evel Knievel movies. Although I did really like the series.

Canada has a lot to offer and to gain from being part of the Eurostack initiative.

I think The Conversation just wrapped news about Eurostack in Canada wrapping paper to get views.

Canada can’t be a part of Eurostack; its goal is bring everything (tech) in-house. Aside investing capital so Eurostack can hit its lofty 300 billion euro goal in 10 years, I dont see what Canada can offer or gain from this. If the “gain” is that we stop Canadian dependence on US tech, we’d just be swapping one overlord for another.

Yes, of course we could reduce our dependence on US tech, but Canada should be stealing this page from Europe’s playbook and making their own Euro Canstack

Well, I hope they have insurance.

Thanks, I’ll see myself out.

According to the alleged recipients themselves,

I don’t see these people, especially after the context in the video, as reliable sources. I remain skeptical about these calls. Don’t get me wrong, PP sucks, but Rachel should have done a little more “fact-checking”

Do you think Carney will allow Germany to trade theirs for draft picks later?

That means one of the options could be Trump’s resignation. Right? Right?

“Copilot I’m losing this match, aim for me”

I read and upvoted this meme for the glory of the empire!

And remember: keep your stick on the ice

It’s a feature, not a bug

Ok, now I’m confused, the article you linked says:

1. Federal government was justified in using the Emergencies Act

But in this (OP) article, it says:

Federal Court Judge Richard Mosley ruled it was unreasonable for the federal government to use the Emergencies Act to quell the protests.

And then this article says:

Ottawa has filed to appeal a Federal Court decision that found its invocation of the Emergencies Act in response to the 2022 Freedom Convoy protests was unjustified.

Anyone out there want to loop me in?

why is it 30 seconds instead of 60 seconds? I’m pretty sure every other TOTP I’ve seen is 60 seconds. My jaded take: the blind pursuit of “better security” even though… what does this even imply? Someone has 30 fewer seconds to read the code over your shoulder and log in on their device?

30 seconds is the default for TOTP implementations.

I’m curious to know what CRA does, but I’m away from my PC right now.

During a legislature hearing on Thursday, Antoine Bittar said he had been advocating for tougher drinking and driving legislation when the CAQ offered an opportunity for him and his partner, Élizabeth Rivera, to meet minister Geneviève Guilbault at an October 2023 fundraising cocktail.

Bittar said he and Rivera each paid $100 — the maximum annual political donation — because he felt it was a chance to press their cause and keep it from stagnating. The couple said they were offered four minutes with the minister, two minutes per person.

I am commenting on this section of the article:

“We and others have shown that these nanoplastics can be internalized into cells and we know that nanoplastics carry all kinds of chemical additives that could cause cell stress, DNA damage and change metabolism or cell function.”

Somarelli said his own, yet-to-be-published work has found more than 100 “known cancer-causing chemicals in these plastics.”

And also

What’s disturbing, said University of Toronto evolutionary biologist Zoie Diana, is that “small particles can appear in different organs and may cross membranes that they aren’t meant to cross, such as the blood-brain barrier.”

My point being that it’s unlikely that bottled water is the only source of these plastics.

I wouldnt be so quick to blame all of this on water bottles when a high percentage of all the food we consume is packaged in plastic and also the left overs sitting in the fridge.

He’ll probably get better service if he calls his credit card company (hopefully he ordered using a credit card) and having them reverse the charges. He’ll maybe have to wait 30 days, but since he has a police report and amazon isn’t cooperating, I think the cc company will go ahead and do it.

Sure, he wont have a watch but at least he wont be out $2k

The Law Bytes Podcast where Michael Geist and guests talk about tech policy and laws. He covers stuff like the online news act, privacy, how badly the CRTC and government handle themselves in tech policy :D

His blog is also worth the read if you are looking for a good breakdown of current bills that affect tech (and internet).
