very nice, congrats! (owner and rider of a R9T)

Issues: - Had to blow the manufacture installed WIN 11 and re-install from MS Cloud. This was coz I couldn't partition the disk to the size I wanted as the said manufacturer dumped the WIN 11 image right in the middle of the disc instead of at the begining. They are aware of this problem and...

WIN 7 was a good release. With WIN 11, MS is playing the Mac game i.e. bringing in hardware specs for O/S eligibility - before, the key word was "recommended", now it is "must have".

GG has aptly summarized the answer to your question. In short, after-market anti virus programs are a roll of the dice. None of my machines run any of these programs.

Banking? Then you definitely need a computer that will receive security updates. As of Oct 2025 (or Oct 2026, if you pay for the extended support), computers running WIN 10 will stop receiving updates. Based on your stated usage, you may want to (a) check if your current machine can be upgraded...

Once upon a time you could run Windows with 2GB RAM, the latest iteration requires 16GB RAM. Linux requires less, you can get away with 4 GB to 8 GB RAM. That being said there is a reason why most companies operate their IT on Linux based platforms - stability and inherent security.

Agree with GG's comments. - To "backdoor" WIN 11, you will have to make changes in the BIOS as well as make a couple of registry hacks. The "backdoor" version will not accept the WIN 11 update to 24H2. - The WIN 11 installation is painless but the post installation updates were not so. - Linux...

Windows 10 is EOL in Oct 2025 and if you have an older computer, Windows 11 will not load on that. Options: - Keep the older computer, make a couple of registry hacks and backdoor load Windows 11. The problem with this is that the updates may fail and the whole point of getting to Windows 11 is...

How 'bout legislating that the position of headlamps be only "x" ft above the horizontal? Vehicles can stll have the beam spread and lumen power but now the lighting is directed on the tarmac vs into other driver's eyes. Till then, the other alternative is to shell out for anti-glare eye-glasses.

No bugs to mention, like the speed that posts load, great job GTAM Team - glad I am able to get "home" (this Forum!) now! Edit: eagerly waiting for the GTAM App

Camera tickets older than 23 days will not be mailed out, so depending on the length of the Canada Post strike, you may escape a fine. The province allows tickets to be issued up to 23 days after the date of offence. As a result, when the postal strike ends, the City will mail out all violations...

Not a CA myself, but technically the full price is paid to the company (or they will not do the procedure) and the installments are a separate arrangement between you and the finance co. So, the invoice for the procedure is a claimable expense. What do folks with more expertise in the matter think?

Ask for a three year equal installment no-interest financing, it makes it more affordable.

It has been in the news for a couple of days, just in case you were not aware, here is the web link with more detail https://recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/alert-recall/scorpion-exo-c90-and-harley-davidson-hd-x06-motorcycle-helmets-recalled-due-physical

True, you can switch the focus of the sound amplification to a narrower circumference or even to a specific quadrant. You can also get "crowded room/quiet room/outdoor" programs. IMHO what matters is the number of frequencies that the HA can process on an individual basis and the sampling rate...

+1 For near vision tasks, you will need to have a pair of "reading" glasses handy (possibly some wrenching tasks on the bike fall in this category) A doc with good expertise will give you a set of lens that will allow vision starting at 18" to infinity. The optometrist recommended a 3.50...

Followed sburns footsteps (or should it say "tracks")

Here is what my own research and subsequent consultation with the Prism Eye Institute brought up, use at your risk and I am not a qualified optometrist or ophthalmologist! Intra Ocular Lens or IOLs currently available in Canada are of these types: 1. Monofocal lenses are designed to provide the...
