Use DKMS drivers. They rebuild for the latest kernel as its upgraded. Using precompiled libs is a problem as many vendors dont keep up with the kernel.
Also, consider an OS that isn't just a Ubuntu variant. Broken kernel upgrades are a thing of the past since our house dumped Ubuntu based distros.
StreetComplete to help fill in the gaps. GeoShare to translate google/apple maps locations to geocoordinates for OSM, and then adding the place in OSMAnd if you login with the OpenStreetMaps editor plugin. This is how those of us who adopted Google Maps early added so much of their data..
The only difference between these maps and their data is the effort by the community to update it. Google doesn't pay people to update places, they entice them with points and advertising. Google and Apple maps would be no different from OSM if no one updated them
I was wondering what a "smash" patty was. After reading the description they... Are just patties. Flattening a ball of hamburger has always been part of making patties... I guess you can call it "smashing".
AI is opening so many security HOLES. Its not solving shit. AI browsers and MCP connectors are wild west security nightmares. And that's before you even trust any code these things write.
I mean, in the case of changing values of currency, physical money isn't changing anything there. As a Canadian forced to buy many things in USD I am constantly suffering from exchange rate changes which is similar. Money retains the same value in country though unless something goes really wrong at the bank of Canada. This is riskier because of trade and how interdependent nations are today.
I'm not a financial expert here, so some of the things you hit on in your reply I am not familiar with. I've never used GICs. RRSPs however can be invested, or sit in cash non-invested. Its the same account type either way.
Some, like BMO Investorline, will charge for it to sit in cash (Investorline charges you $100/month) - BMO Smartfolio won't let you put things in cash, they say they aren't setup for that.
I ended up moving my RRSP to an RRSP with my credit union. Its getting moved to an RRSP but it will sit in cash hold, uninvested, until such time as I am ready to put it back into the market. I did this before the 2020 dip as well. You can avoid the bubble popping this way. It doesn't need to stay on the market.
In Canada at least you can have the funds pulled from the market and put in cash hold until you are comfortable with the market for RRSP/RESP.
Some banks will try to tell you you cannot do this or will charge you $100/month to keep it in cash. If they do, go to another institution and get it moved there. Many credit unions offer the same accounts with zero charges for holding cash.
