If it’s not intended for game like interactions but instead intended for real world like interactions how does one actually interact??? It’s the same damn thing.

Re: “Not Implementing”: Ottawa Shuts Down Mandatory National Digital ID Rumours

Park Jihyo — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 08:00:30 -0000

just give our information to apple and google for digital id ok, they have enough of information already. digital cards is for the people who want wallet free life style and the old people can stick to cards, accept both. eventually they will phase out physical but digital is the better way and they can always update and improve it. yes there will be scams but there are already with physical. i can tell the government doesn't put money into their services. i used the my service canada website, it was pure garbage in a design work flow sense, half the links dont even work and lead to error. CRA website is ok but, it needs an app and 2FA other then text. my 2cents

The bigger question is why are people still getting or wanting their news on Meta? Worst of all. media outlets for the most part have not shuttered their Meta accounts. Then you have those nutbars like @Park Jihyo who get their "facts" from only one source: TikTok. 🤦‍♂️

Meanwhile. the vast majority of people would love to have their ID in digital form so they don't need to provide the plastic card to confirm ID or coverage.

I suppose those who are against digital ID are probably against sending documents by email, even encrypted email. They insist on sending documents by carrier pigeon, fax, or mail. Likewise, some financial institutions still insist on a physical bank teller's stamp for direct deposit or bank account linking and sending by mail risking identity theft. I remember when Revenue Canada /CRA was still sending full SIN on tax forms and letters.

Yeah agreed. Starbucks is only on the odd time if I'm out of town and need a caffeine hit and it's nearby

I bought a Nespresso machine when Covid hit and have never looked back. I hit Starbucks a few times a year now.

This article is wrong and providing info from the American program. It's different in Canada. The gold tier is 1.5 stars per dollar for example.

Not just Rogers but all the wireless carriers. Sounds like quite a few people took advantage of the Public Mobile flash sale.

It would be great to see the effect the Public Mobile promotional plans has on Rogers churn numbers...

I think it’s more about the affiliate links and less about the journalism.

Re: Google Accidentally Leaks Android Desktop

Spittt — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 21:58:10 -0000

The only ones I know with Chromebooks are grade 8 and below kids who are forced to get them by their schools so they can lock the students into the school interface. These lower grade school programs will likely disable Gemini anyway to prevent cheating. In higher grades where the cpu is not locked in, the kids usually go with Macbook Airs or a PC. No kid I know will ever willingly choose a Chromebook.

This clearly butt-covering letter just makes it worse. It's just the only response he had after the movie viewing backlash.

Why are so many post lately nothing to do with iphones/Apple? And yet, nothing about Apple Creator Studio going live today.

EXACTLY! If PayPal isn't a payment option, I won't risk my personal info or $$$

Re: Major Canada Computers Breach: Customers Warned to Cancel Cards

Diana — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 13:28:29 -0000

Good to know Canada Computers takes its customer payment & personal info security seriously😳. 2 attempts to warn the company & they CLOSE those tickets WITHOUT responding but as soon as it's put on Social Media, THAN THEY CARE??? The LACK of effort, not really taking responsibility for their DISMAL security and making NO offers to ensure their customers info is safe just confirms they really don't. They just care that they LOOK like they do🧐. Good to know now so when I need to make some purchases in the next few months, I know exactly where NOT to go🥴

Yup. I use EU-based (so stronger privacy and security laws baked in) Startpage.

It's wild how a $10–15 USD one-time annual payment for the same Gemini plan got hyped on RFD like it was elite… just funneling free money to the Reddit/Discord scammer “HeavyDiscounts.”

Nobody wants to admit they got played. “It’s only $10,” “don’t care if the Gmail gets cooked,” or straight denial. Pure cope.

RFD used to be about being cheap and sharp. Now it’s Gen Z hype, performative takes, high-income vibes, aura farming, and unhinged promo posts. Different site now. Garry needs to stop mentioning it. Full stop.
