Today, I’m just an opinionated Canadian writer with time on my hands. The world is a different place today, including the Donald Trump saga that ‘keeps on giving.’ That alone gives me lots to write and comment on. (Flippen Canadian is my handle) Check out more of my stories at @ https://flippen.ca/

That was a part of the reason but if you remember, they were in and out of US courts of infringement rights, or this reason and that. The president himself had one until “being it was an offshore provider.” and Apple has caught up. Yeah, they might have been slow on the upgrade; however, the Americans helped Blackberry go by way of the do-do bird. They do not like the competition… The whole story is not so crazy. Living in the BB community, you hear all kinds of stories you will not read.
We all remember the Canadian BlackBerry phone, the yanks wanted access to all the phone calls from Google, BlackBerry and all the other providers in the states. BlackBerry built their popularity to be a secure system and refused the yanks; the other said they did not give in to the demands, but we know they all did. They could not force Canadian Blackberry; “bottom line,” they were kicked out of the states and are now gone. Unfortunately, as one person said, Canadians use their servers, Google, for looking up your car parts. If you think the two-sided camera on your phone is for your convenience, I suggest not taking it into the washroom with you.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Doctor Removed From Ontario Medical Association AGM for Refusing to Take Off Watermelon Pin
11·2 months agoI myself believe that it was a political statement, and if left unchecked, there would be others doing the same, but for a different cause. I guess if the cause was close to home, you would feel compelled to express your feelings, ‘and I get that,’ but looping back to, let one do it, and then there were two. Now this comment is only my opinion, and I’m glad to say, I didn’t have to make the call.

Canada@lemmy.ca•'Use your brain': Hundreds march in Vancouver against AI data centre expansion
10·2 months agoOne reader wrote: The electricity demand, (WATER CONSUMPTION) and air pollution are generally not valid concerns. I, however, disagree. There was an article showing how much water they actually use for cooling per day, and it was astounding. For some reason, the article is no longer available for public viewing, or I would’ve shared the link. My simple desktop computer gets warm from use, my phone gets hot when it’s doing too much thinking. Simple comparison, but the same and BIGGER.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca•Do actors take it as a compliment when someone tells them they absolutely hated them as a villain?
21·3 months agoI always wondered if an actor played enough roles as a villain, would their personality also change? Read my take on it. https://flippen.ca/how-to-tell-if-a-psychologist-is-analyzing-you/

AskACanadian@lemmy.ca•What would Canada look like if the country completely boycotted and sanctioned the USA?English
1·3 months agoThe world has become a dangerous place, and the three countries that form North America should have closer ties for no other reason than “security reasons.” But looks like Canada will have to do it alone, and we will. But it is too bad, at face value, we were friends, brothers, but behind the scenes, we were treated by the US higher-ups like a satellite state and were not. Canada will survive and flourish.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Travel to the U.S. is down even more dramatically than we thought, data shows
10·3 months agoWe have not travelled to the States for many years, but I must admit, I miss the people and the exciting places we went. Can I find fun places like that in Canada? Absolutely. But it is too bad that one person, one man out of 50 billion people, can turn people against each other the way he has. So with today’s events, I don’t foresee going back to the States any time soon. But I believe that most of the people down agree with their fearless leader, but … “what can they do?”

I normally change my computer when it breaks, “every 4 years, tops.”
