I like Floorp better for a Firefox variant, feels more developed and stable than zen.

I unreasonably hate the word "moreover". I see no reason why you wouldn't use the words "also", "additionally", or even "furthermore" that sound way better when read.
No matter how I set it up it gives me suggestions to specific pages I don't want instead of the base domain.
Some months ago they completely fucked up their address bar suggestions to the point where I have tried again to move to another browser. I'd prefer them to fix that before updating their UI.
That doesn't really help because the TV devices can't be configured to use the non-gateway wifi network.
The only solution I can come up with is to add a wifi network like that, but then also get a chromecast for each TV and use a device with the app to cast the TV they want to watch.
Their TV boxes are garbage too, my parents cannot get reliable 5GHz WiFi from the "gateway" and the devices cannot be configured to 2.4GHz only which works fine until it thinks the 5GHz signal is strong enough and automatically switches before dropping again. The only "solutions" Rogers provides are to move the router or to buy their overpriced "pod" repeaters.
God no, Christy Clark needs to go away and never be seen again. Even Poilievre is preferable to that horrible person.
Also, she isn't a Liberal by any stretch, does she just want to jump in wherever might take her? The BC Liberals were a conservative party.
Assuming it is Translink busses, with the compass system you can simply tap your debit or credit card to pay. Hold it on the reader and look for the green checkmark and then move in.
Terrible news, private equity firms ruin everything they touch.
Shit like this is why we need strong regulations for anything that is a medical device that is depended on by people. I don't give a shit if it isn't profitable anymore, these companies need to support their customers that may be significantly impacted if their devices don't work.
This is a topic that could be a novel for how much there is to consider, but in the end it comes down to resources and companies trying to choose what it best for the company overall. For a company to do anything, they are giving up many other things they could be doing instead. Whether it is limited budgets, limited personnel, or company priorities every decision made is always a tradeoff that means you aren't doing something else.
Most companies prioritize releasing new product so they can start getting revenue from it as soon as possible. A new product has the largest potential market, and thus makes shareholders happy to see revenue coming in. The sales from a new product are the easiest ones in most product's lifecycle. Additionally. releasing new products helps keep you ahead of competitors. So ongoing maintenance work is de-prioritized over working on new things.
The goal of testing is to simulate potential use cases of a product and ensure that it will work as expected when the customer has the product in their hands. It is impossible to fully test a product in a finite amount of time, so tests are created that expose flaws within a reasonable search space of the expected uses. If an issue is found then it needs to be evaluated about whether it is worth fixing and when. There are many factors that affect this, for example:
- How much would it cost to fix?
- How much time would it take to fix?
- Does it need to be fixed for launch or can it be a running change?
- How many customers are actually going to see the issue? Is it just a small annoyance for them or will it cause returns/RMAs?
- Is it within the expected use case of the product?
- Can we mitigate it in software/firmware instead of changing hardware?
- Is it a compliance/regulatory issue?
- Would this bring in new customers for the product?
- Was this done a specific way for a reason?
Unfortunately, after considering all this the result is often that it isn't worth the effort to fix something, but it is considered.

Yeah, but unfortunately tax cuts are popular with people who don't understand that their tax dollars provide many services that they use even if they get far more utility out of them than they put in. You may as well be throwing away your chances of getting elected if you say you will increase taxes to fix housing, healthcare and infrastructure which have been neglected for decades by every government.
