Yea, I have a friend that recently moved to the states, and their rates jumped too.

They were on a local, government subsidised, $10/day program too!

God, that would be amazing. I pay $1200 CAD for my child care.

basically confirmed what i assumed (but we know how dangerous that is)

the news breaker got it mostly wrong, but of course the goverment isnt perfect.

Thanks!

Beside the testimony of this one person, de we have any credible reasons to believe there is widescals fraud here?

Fraud absolutely does happen, and if it’s real it needs to be caught, but there are also anti-fraud fraudsters

You… Really are toxic, arnt you.

Hope you have a better day tomorrow!

Just going to copy and paste my previous comment, since it addresses what you say perfectly:

STILL doesn’t affect the basic operation of the fridge, or the findings of the study i linked.

I’m not saying these features are good, or that an AI fridge is worth buying… im just saying statistically, a modern fridge will have a similar lifespan as a fridge from the 70s

Do i need to keep repeating myself?

Fridge is still fully usable though. Even if the AI craps out, and the touch screen shows adds… its still a cold box to put your stuff in, with a lifespan similar to a device from the 70s.

So do we in Canada… But that doesn’t mean that they are enforced

I’m sorry, but I’m talking about the real world, where things actually happen.

I already shared you the study on lifespan of appliances over the decades, and how the old ones we still working are usually due to survivorship bias, I’m not sure what more you want.

I’m just not interested in arguing made up hypotheticals.

Still doesn’t change when the physical components are likely to die.

You are telling me I’m going to have to replace my car because it’s infotainment unit is out of date.

I mean, sure? but pretty much everyone of your examples is about general computing, and while i HATE the samsung fridge thing… it doesnt mean it will die any earlier.

Funny and all, but interesting, the life span of appliences has remained fairly steady: https://studyfinds.org/appliances-made-to-last/

The study (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/EWYZVBTQDFJXHTV9PPUQ?target=10.1111%2Fjiec.13608) found that most appliances last a similar number of years, and that the number of cycles each appliance lasts has increased (ie we use them more often). notable exception was a stove.

Basically, survivorship bias.

I got an air cooler just because I had 3 die on 6 years, as the pump on each went.

I don’t see a “and they need to host it”

But allowing/enabling community servers would allow it to stay playable at minimum cost to the developers
