That's the bare minimum requirements needed to live in Toronto as a human, lol

No, I don't think so.

Tinc has weird limitations and Wireguard completely obsoletes it. There's zero reasons to ever consider using Tinc when Wireguard exists.

How are the alternatives any better? Download a DEB that executes arbitrary code, signed with some .asc that's sitting in the same webserver? Download an EXE?

Your comment is so rambley that I can't understand whether you're criticizing the distribution method or the packaging. Both of those are very different in terms of attack surface, if you're talking about supply chain attacks.

In Canada, these machines used to have glass bottles. (20oz?) Anyone else remember that?

The only way I can describe the Titanfall 2 campaign is it's the giant robot game you always wanted subconsciously. It's just great, perfect length.

The online favourite in Zandronum (multiplayer ZDoom) was Alien Vendetta, an awesome Doom2 campaign WAD. (av.wad or av20.wad) It's just super solid with lots of variety and good pacing. Made by a bunch of different mappers.

I could be wrong here, but I think the common interpretation here is wrong. The risk is not that the wires overheat and cause a fire. The risk is that the card draws too much current from a single 12V power rail on your PSU, sustained for a long time, and that burns out the power rail on your PSU.

I have a 6950 XT that I used with a 850W PSU that was connected incorrectly according to the diagram, with multiple connectors coming off a single rail. After about 6 months, one day my SSD stopped working, and after some tinkering, I realized that if I plugged it into a different 12V connector, it started working! I had burned out one of the 12V rails on my power supply, and I strongly suspect it was my incorrect wiring into my 6950 XT that caused it. (edit: I got a new PSU and never looked back)

Ford, Stellantis, GM, Honda, Toyota: source (click "Made in Canada"). Both countries assemble many cars where parts are made in the US/Canada/Mexico (see: NAFTA/CUSMA aka USMCA)

edit: also for context, auto manufacturing is a big political football here in Ontario, with politicians always announcing funding and looking for photo ops around it because they're big employers in manufacturing

Come to Toronto lol

This has nothing to do with protecting Canadians and everything to do with protecting big business

I think what no politician wants to admit is that car industry is a strategically important industry and has to be protected for geopolitical reasons alone. We need the manufacturing capability to maintain our industrial base as a hedge against any future conflict. (I lump it in with why you need domestic milk and food production, vaccine production, etc. When the going gets tough, you need that.)

That said, I do feel the bailouts from 2009/2010 were total horseshit and these companies got off scot-free. They've had ages to prepare to make EVs and squandered it, and now have to be protected by moves like this. We just end up paying for it, either through subsidies (eg. battery plants) or through the inflated prices of EVs.
