Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
twitter would be an interesting addition to them, going from MSN messenger to acquiring skype, then on to twitter...
teams is so slow, and the integration of "office" suite is sloppy at best. Im on like 10 different teams at work and often when groups of us work off 1-2 excel sheets, the changes are overridden or not saved.
yeah i know i know, powerBI is better, but the team is full of geriatrics that can barely use excel, so they wont transition to powerbi anytime soon.
^ well, apparently, his net worth is like $200B ... so this is like losing just 25% of your network if it does blow up. For most people losing 25% of net worth might be a lot but hell, when you have like $160B left ...

He just bought it because he thought it would provide him some control over all the people being mean to him on the internet. What he still hasn’t realized is that it wouldn’t have cost him any money to just shut the fuck up and not act like such a cunt all the time and he wouldn’t get mocked so often.

I don't mind the integration of Office into Teams. In fact, I grew to appreciate Teams a lot more.
I suspect this issue of saving data in Excel is more of a user error.

Has anyone tried using Apple Airtags as a cheap method of tracking your car? I don't need it to track in exact detailed real time but if I find out where it is in 15-30 mins I'm good. (Tracking my kid's location when they take it out.)

That's just wrong.............. a cross between some carp species and koi carp. Something like that. It's not natural. They introduced it to the lake some 20 years ago. Like WTF? The resort at the lake is booked solid for quite some time.

Dear MG1,
To say it wasn’t a good week for factory fish farm operators on the west coast would be an understatement. A lot happened in a short time and here’s a recap of the unprecedented events.
Last week, Washington State Commissioner of Public Lands, Hilary Franz, made a historic announcement, banning open net-pen salmon farms from Washington’s waters forever. This announcement came after Swinomish tribal leaders told the Washington Department of Natural Resources that fish farms were impacting wild fish and one of their sacred sites.
B.C. is now the last jurisdiction on the west coast of North America to harbour factory fish farms.
And in B.C., the shíshálh Nation on the lower Sunshine Coast also announced last week they are clearing Grieg Seafood’s fish feedlots from their territory. This will be the third area in B.C. where farms are being removed because of the will of local First Nations (the other two areas being the Discovery Islands and Broughton Archipelago).
While First Nations are taking a stand against Atlantic salmon farms, the feds are back-sliding on their promise to transition from open net-pen farms by 2025. Their so-called transition plan is being watered-down to simply reduce ‘interactions’ between farmed and wild fish— a plan that will continue to cause harm to wild fish.
There were also several important stories shared this week about piscine orthoreovirus (PRV), a virus spread by factory fish farms that can infect wild salmon and cause their blood cells to explode. A Globe and Mail article reported on DFO’s suppression of science around the impact of PRV on wild salmon. Additionally, findings from a University of B.C. study on PRV were released. Researchers report that 70% of samples taken near 56 fish farms in B.C. and the U.S. tested positive for the virus. A shout-out to our allies Alexandra Morton, Bob Chamberlin, Wild First, Clayoquot Action and others for their work in bringing this news to light.
Our federal government can’t continue to ignore the impacts of factory fish farms on wild salmon. Keeping the pressure on them over the next several months will be critical before the government releases their transition plan. There’s only one solution that will protect wild salmon from fish farm viruses and parasites, and that is to get them off the B.C. coast.
You are a huge part of the successes of the past couple of weeks. We’re winning but there’s more work to be done. Here are three ways you can help get more fish farms off our coast:
Send an email to your federal representative.
Become a monthly donor. This will allow us to ramp up the pressure with more resources over the next several months.
Make a one-time donation. These funds help us submit access to information requests and get a behind-the-curtain look at what the feds are thinking.
Thanks for your support,
Meghan Rooney
From an email sent from Watershed Watch Salmon Society. Yes, I'm an interested participant. Long after I am gone, I want the next generation of British Columbians to enjoy wild sockeye and other salmon species. I never buy open pen farmed salmon. At the grocery stores and at the restaurants. When I ask or point it out, the owners think I'm nuts. Money. It's all about money. I can do without farmed Atlantic salmon. /sermon

They work amazing.
I use them in rental cars, especially in foreign countries. Always kinda worried I park somewhere I’m not suppose to and get towed. Then wtf do you do when you don’t know who towed it, you don’t speak the language, etc.
When I travel I keep one in my checked bag one in a day bag, usually take the day bag one out and toss it in the spare tire compartment etc. if your kid is the one driving around and they have a phone, you’ll be able to get real time updates, they rely on Bluetooth to send the signal out so anyone in or around the car with a Bluetooth phone will make the AirTag ping.
If your kid has an iPhone though it will pop up saying “there is an AirTag that’s not yours following you”

Awesome. Thanks. Now I have something to get on Shoppers’ Spend Your Points event. I use Tile trackers and they’re fine, but these are better, by the sounds of it.
Pun not intended, gulolol.

Do airtags only work with apple products? Like would an android bluetooth "ping" the air tag? My car had GPS tracking on it as a $10/month feature, but I stopped subscribing to it and I've found myself needed it every so often.
I believe the air tags work with only apple users. I have the samsung version of it cause i have a samsung galaxy and it uses other galaxy phones to pinpoint the tag, just like how an airtag would work with other apple users. Mine is free, no subsciption required

Grieg Seafood is actually my client.
I doubt this affects their farms in Campbell River, Gold River?
This will be an interesting chat to have with them.
Yah, I got my hands on one, someone had one laying around. Set it up, super simple, and works like a charm. It is linked to your Apple icloud so I can track it on my other Apple devices eg. my Macbook under 'Find My'.
I didn't know about the notice that other Apple users will get 'an airtag that is not yours is following you' that shows up on their phone.
My question is does that show up to someone that doesn’t have an iPhone? Like does it say there is a Bluetooth device that’s been with you thay isn’t yours if you’re not an apple user
