Google Pixels have call screening and anti spam features built in, such a life saver. Even if carriers don't implement any protections, my phone will continue to do it on its own.

You do know that many of these processes are done with on-device intelligence?

Also, telecoms in Canada are worse with privacy since they sell your location data to third parties.

Smaller models aren't as good as GPT

Why move? I came from an iPhone 13 and I'm so much happier now.

Yep, hello from Gloucester!

A lot of my data is end-to-end encrypted with alternatives and I use very few Google services other than Android and YouTube. I've done my research and honestly, Google and iOS are very similar in terms of privacy practices. They both phone home a lot of diagnostic and telemetry information, but I am aware of all these practices and adjust my behaviours accordingly.

That's extremely unsettling...

I think it's because of the hail. Huge pieces started flying at my windows

Here we go again

No derecho this year? Lucky

Into the storm we go...

Best of luck!

I've heard of churning but I was told that it can ruin your credit score. How has 7 cards affected your acceptance rate?

Correct if you select that option.

I remember multiple years ago there was a tornado watch like this too. I believe a funnel formed downtown

Who thinks Hydro Ottawa will survive this one?

There was a ramen shop owned by a family friend on Bank I think that shut down a few years ago due to bankruptcy. The ambiance was pretty good and the food was tasty.

No, shouldn't be like that.

I'd argue it's better than the derecho we had last year lol

Doesn't look like it as of last year: https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Get-Support/Call-Control/m-p/771729#M511754.

If you're on Google Pixel, you can enable screening and automatic blocking. On iPhone, there's Robokiller.
