I didn’t watch it but Kagi universal summarizer says:

  • The podcast hosts are knowledgeable about photography and cameras, but sometimes get sidetracked in their discussions and miss important details.
  • New smartphone features like AI photo editing need to be properly explained and evaluated, not just dismissed, as the technology is still evolving.
  • Hardware changes alone may not warrant an annual new smartphone model release. Software improvements need to provide clear value.
  • There is a lack of representation of the full Android ecosystem in discussions, which is more diverse than just Samsung and Google phones.
  • Certain Android phones are pushing the boundaries of mobile photography further than what is available in North America.
  • Exposure and frame rate stability are important factors for video that deserve more consideration.
  • Collecting one's own user data is important for AI development rather than relying solely on cloud solutions.
  • Copyright and data ownership need better legal frameworks as AI develops.
  • The podcast could benefit from having more knowledgeable Android users participate in discussions.
  • While criticism is valid, it is best delivered respectfully and constructively rather than dismissively.

Im not a Smith fan but also don’t like people making things up based on their feelings.

Are heat pumps pretty good in the Atlantic region? In Calgary no installer would recommend one, and only one quoted (high) last year.

I think the city is crazy to think they can recover it, but it sounds like both houses were probably worthy of demolition and the owner just got it done for free.

An occupied house in good condition wouldn’t be mistaken for the wrong one.

Close to 10 years ago I ran into a subscription clinic in Calgary. At the time they said the funds went to pay for paramedical services rather than physician services. I wonder if that’s technically permissible.

At any rate, I can’t afford private healthcare so I didn’t go with them.

It’s good for them to branch out. I found the studio to be hit and miss for my taste, but loved Psychonauts 2. Broken Age, in contrast, I found boring. I hope they lean into action on their new projects.

Yeah, I expect they could at least double their business on my street by moving people from Shaw to PureFibre.

If I type my address in their online tool, it says 75 megabit as well. They cold-call me often and try to sell me 75 for more money than I pay for 150 cable. I always tell them to call me when there's fiber.

If I knew the tech would do fiber and not just show up to activate the copper, I might risk it, but switching internet is painful enough already.

 

Does anyone have pro tips to get Telus to actually install fiber to the home when it's present in the alley? I can see the lines 20 feet from my window, and the building across the alley is hooked up. When I call Telus, they say it's not available, then they put in a ticket to ask the back office, and again it's "not available".
