I've been getting lastpass 2fa codes via text sent to me before and after changing master passwords lately. However I don't get the authenticator notification like I would from a login attempt so I'm thinking they're attempting password resets?

I enabled portals in Canary and tested out the demo. For some reason after the portal has activated, I can no longer go back to the previous page. So much for "take over the web and become the standard way in which websites transition between links". I wonder how much this will confuse the average user. I hope that this is still due to it being experimental.

I watched the entire keynote. IMO, definitely industry breaking if they can deliver what they're promising. Their demo with Assassin's Creed Odyssey overall went well. I'm sure they're hard at work cutting down on input lag and being able to scale. Can't wait to try it out!

I love the concept and features of AirPods but unfortunately they aren't for my ears. I'm still waiting for the day they make a true in ear with rubber tips so that people like myself can finally buy into this experience. You'd think they took some notes from acquiring beats. Pretty sure this would open a whole new market of people that aren't currently able to wear, let alone the massive improvement in sound quality to an already great product.

XR user here that switched from Android after leaving the iPhone 4. The battery life is amazing. With my minimal use, it's lasting me 3 days with about 20% before I plug it in again. Great app ecosystem too. It's the little things like LastPass just being so much better on iOS. Widgets and notifications have come a long way but I still wish I could have widgets for email instead of having to manually open email. The screen often feels a bit large but gestures make it usable.

Do people actually use cheat sheets like this? IMO, the first stackoverflow result in google is generally what I'm looking for and quicker - especially for common things and common languages such as the things on this page. Even if you have the page bookmarked, you still need to find/search/scroll for the specific thing you're looking for. Also, with Alfred you can google anything even quicker by not having to cmd+tab to the browser.

No one is taking account the demographic that are likely to move to Toronto.

If you have a partner or significant other, it's not worth relocating to Toronto. Tech job's salaries are already considered extremely high here, but the majority of other jobs don't come close outside a few industries such as medical. Not to mention, non-tech industries are not booming like the tech industry, so even finding a decent job is a challenge.

Therefore, the demographic of people that would even consider relocation to Toronto are singles. After I graduated college and moved downtown from Etobicoke, I have so much more free time to actually live life. That 2 hours of commuting is extremely valuable, and this is coming from someone who was born and raised in Toronto. If you're a newcomer and single living outside of downtown or at a distance from work, commuting 1 hour to work, then working for 8 hours, and finally commuting 1 hour back - that's already 10 hours gone from your day. Factor in daily tasks and you're left with very little time in the week to find friends or socialize.

I'm a Toronto native and have been working as a dev for the past two years. COL is extremely high compared to salaries. This is likely the biggest problem for anyone looking to move here. For example, a small 1 bedroom condo downtown will run you at least CA$2k a month. For a larger 1 bedroom or 1+den your easily looking at $2-3k in today's demanding market. Public transit is usually a hit or miss during rush hour. I'd suggest looking into Kitchener/Waterloo, Markham or Ottawa area if you're considering moving here. COL in these areas compared to Toronto is drastic and many of the bigN companies (Shopify, Google, IBM, etc..) are located here.

At the end of the day, it's the same company.
