Depends on your region. I'm in Canada and it's 6th here.

No, this person was asked to meet Linus specifically at the hotel lobby. Meeting someone at a hotel lobby is normal and doesn't imply anything. A hotel room would be very different. But the hotel lobby is a normal place for people to meet and chat.

You shouldn't need a business line to get reliable, fast, unlimited internet.

We have a Tesla and most owners love them because they're good cars. Cost of ownership is next to nothing and our Model Y had next to no issues so far (scratch on seat when we picked it up which they replaced with a service appointed).

It costs less than $2 per 100 km to run while the prior car cost closer to $20 per $100 km in premium fuel. Also no oil changes or other significant maintenance (spark plugs, transmission oil, etc.) We save $3000 of gas per year and we're in a luxurious/premium car. What I don't understand is why anyone would buy a GLC/Q5/X3 over a Model Y. Who wants to spend $15k on gas in 5 years?

Ok, but you're not really getting good value. Cheap doesn't equal worth/value.

I don't know your financial situation but an extra $24 would bring in a lot more value out of your phone than what the cost would be. What you'd get/value per $1 would drastically increase. And depending on your kids age, they will for sure be excluded from things just based on not receiving group messages, not being able to easily navigate places, etc.

What % of mobile users plug their phones into a computer to move files on/off them? I'm not even an iPhone user (I have a Pixel 6 Pro) and it's probably been 5+ years since I last moved files over USB on my phone.

The best argument I can see for faster than USB 2.0 speeds is YouTubers that shoot 4k video on iPhones and then need to edit the video. That's a very small number of people though

How are you going to drink bubble tea without a straw?

No one carries cash in today's world. I'm not gonna carry cash just to tip people. We shouldn't even need to tip people. They should be paid a living wage to begin with.

What? The climate controls are always visible.. how hard is it to tap or slide your finger on them.

Since it was a rental someone before you probably turned off auto brightness controls.

Most decent to higher end desktops have at least 2.5 Gbps. Even a laptop/desktop that doesn't can get a 2.5 Gbps usb-c to ethernet dongle for like $30-$40.

Higher end access points also have 2.5 Gbps. I have no issue maxing out my 1.5 Gbps (ISP over provisions the lines so I get 1.7 gbps) on Steam. Also keep in mind that when you have a faster connection with multiple devices/people, each device/person might be able to pull 1 Gbps. As in if you have 2 Gbps internet service even 2 older computers that only have a gigabit internet connection, each could get the full gigabit to them.

If you're the type of person that only uses wifi, you won't see a difference between gigabit and multigigabit connections but plenty of people have ethernet throughout their homes and they make use of faster than gigabit connections.

Yea, the early ones were bad but current Model 3s and Ys are good.

What? How do you not have enough data and how do your kids not have data? Plans are pretty cheap nowadays and they come with tons of data.

Koodo has $39 for 20 GB: https://www.koodomobile.com/en/rate-plans?INTCMP=KM_HDD_2023_Plans_AllPlans

Public Mobile (owned by Telus) has plans that even include US roaming: https://publicmobile.ca/en/on/plans

I haven't heard of someone turning off their data or not having data in years.

You're way overpaying. I pay $40 for 1.5 Gbps with Bell FTTH. Give them a call and say it's too expensive and see what they can do for you. Or tell them Rogers (if they're in your area) offered you 1.5gbps for $60 and ask if they can beat that.

As for mobile, you should look at new plans. $39 gets you 20 GB $50 gets you 40 GB. Seems like plenty of data imo https://www.koodomobile.com/en/rate-plans?INTCMP=KM_HDD_2023_Plans_RatePlans_40gbfor45_ROC_MBSK

Best time to get a mobile plan is Black Friday, should be even better deals by then.

Have you ever had bubble tea?

Polestar 2 has only 1 cupholder and is cramped. I don't get who would buy a Polestar over a Model 3 after test driving both.

Pretty bad poll. Lots of cars can go longer than the options listed. I change mine every 20,000 km which is Mercedes recommended interval in Canada (when the car tells me to change my oil).

Why? How is this worth the effort over a few days plugged into a 120v plug (if you're at the cottage what's the rush? I'd assume you're there for a few days)

It's more of a slightly raised hatchback. What's not to like?

No offense but I know nothing about welds and have never looked at welds to judge quality. I also specifically said Model 3s and Model Ys which are their mass market cars. We have a Model Y and any small minor issues we had with it were fixed in the first/only service appointment without question. Minor stuff, no panel gap issues, and it felt well built.
