FYI you can run this tool locally, but it cannot save the results locally. It requires Google Drive to upload the data to a spreadsheet.
File download/screenshot does support local execution though.
I agree with everything you've said, except the last point. The federal government has shown that it will do what's necessary to maintain the status quo. As each COVID benefit runs out, another one is added to replace it. How long can they keep this going? I don't know, but I'm not willing to bet against all the people who own 1+ homes and the politicians who represent them.
I personally delayed buying a house in Toronto since 2013, thinking that it's too hot and it can't keep going up. I missed out massively. I don't recommend young Canadians to wait, but rather buy your primary residence if you can before you're completely priced out of the market. Just don't put all your investment into housing in the GTA, it may pop one day.
Well it’s true that my advice is not pragmatic. The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
But I wouldn’t encourage FOMO by saying “buy or you’ll be priced out!” since it’s just perpetuating the assumption that it’ll last forevér. It won’t. But it might last a while.
If you really want a house and can afford it, buy a house. But understand the reality of the financial risk. That’s not just coming from me, it’s coming the Bank of Canada and many other international organizations.
On Android, in the old days, an app could be registered as a "Device Administrator". When you set up an Exchange account on the device, the email client requested the user to activate device admin before it would sync email.
If the user clicked the activate button, the email client would have permission to reset password/wipe device, etc. [0]
This didn't require enrolling into any MDM software.
a not insignificant portion of generic weird mediatek chipset android phones come rooted from the manufacturer, because the OS is built with a root/developer configuration. This also helps malware like this spread on the sub-$80 android phones sold to non technically sophisticated users in the developing world.
I remember reading something about mediatek based phones saving on the BOM by utilizing virtualization on a single SoC to run the baseband RTOS and the Smartphone OS.
Until you get bugs like "3D games lag when in fast moving car due to constant cell handovers" and "4G doesn't work at the same time as playing a 1080p60 video, so netflix/youtube are broken unless on wifi".
This happened to me with the Triada virus, on a Nomu S10 - it came with factory ota.
That one patched the Zygote process and became invisible and unremovable without reflashing.
I used SimpleTax for the first time this year and it's a lot more intuitive than StudioTax which I used in the past.
It may not be ideal for every situation, but it was much simpler for me.
“Our general guidance is that the total cost of the early adopter program lease will be less than the price of a car—but how nice a car will depend on the number of Spots leased and how long the customer will be leasing the robot.”
Can't schedule locally either, only in the cloud.
