I was pretty excited to grab a Samsung Electronics S24 Ultra on release, but at $1800 CAD + Tax, that ain't happening. Totally ridiculous price for a mobile phone, especially with only 128GB

I recently got followed by a handful of accounts that were all created in July 2023. They all have a single tweet that's AI nonsense, follow over 4k ppl, and are followed by 20-150. How are these spambots still around? There's probably only a few thousand legit users total on X

" *Family Link not available in Quebec" I see this often, where Quebec isn't included in Canadian contests or able to use other Google services of this nature.. What gives? I'd also love to see this Family Link extended through the entire Android OS, more like Apple provides.

Why this isn't the norm in 2024 is beyond me. Especially using virtual calls to help prioritize legitimate emergencies!

Check the labels on your favorite treats to see if the word "Chocolate" has been replaced with "Chocolatey". Nothing like chemicals instead of the real thing to keep those profit margins!

I got my first phone w/ Bell when I was 13, using all my saved paper route cash -- Must have been 1990, I remember everyone looking at me when it rang. It was always the same person looking for where I was.. I like to think that I invented sending your mom to voicemail

Hey Paul Bradshaw , been following your blog for some time (thanks for all the great content!) I decided to learn more about you and discovered that your contact me "At Work" link is broken, as is the "Tweets about OJB posts" Just wanted to give you a heads up!

I haven't been around here for the last 8 months or so, seems most of the #gcdigital crew have left for parts unknown (and perhaps Mastodon (@[email protected])) .. Most of the tagged tweets are on AI and RTO, be nice to see some other topics resurrected such as collab tools and processes #agile

I now know why I was running around in circles all day.

Yep. Today is worst AI will ever be

I have maintained a blog on Wordpress since 2006. I realize it is in a sore need of updating. Hoping to rejuvenate it and to post more regularly again, I miss the accountability of the "practice what you preach" mentality humblepie.wordpress.com/2024/10/08/sha…

cbc.ca/news/politics/… Reading this breaks my heart - learning about someone appointed to a brand new role being unable to showcase his talents and expertise due to inaccessible learning / onboarding requirements. There appear to be accusations against Gottheil as well

FYI if you use UBlock Origin on Chrome (and Windows) and have heard the news that Google is soon blocking it permanently, you can take advantage of an enterprise-provided workaround to stave off the move to another browser for another year ghacks.net/2024/08/15/goo…

Rise (begrudgingly) and grind (coffee beans) is my morning routine

It's interesting to see how the hype around artificial intelligence is replicated in the public service sector. While there's always lots of attention spent ensuring protected information is kept safe, I don't see the same effort in monitoring data submitted to online AI tools

Apparently "GCconnex" is considered a dirty word? These work firewall restrictions are a little extreme... #gcdigital

There’s another missing part. The cost of the disability itself. These need to be combined through a publicly funded national disability insurance model of support that would include paid caregiving. See, sign and share our petition; ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/P…

At Canada School of Public Service for LearnX. It's great to have an opportunity to network in person! It's funny how it feels so special and new vs online - how the tables have turned! #gcdigital
