It’s not the first time the multi-billion dollar company’s been accused of something. Whether it be the new IOS updates that really just downgrades your phone, or chargers that deplete your battery over time, it’s not really surprising to see the accusations against Apple once again.
Apple often exaggerates the cost of repairs for its products. Third-party shops who offer to fix Apple products for a fraction of the price are considered “unsafe” by Apple, since problems are usually connected with hardware that only professionals can fix. However, more often than not, Apple products can be fixed by those same third-part shops, and for a much lower price. Customers who come in to the store with minor problems such as a flickering screen are given large bills because they are told that major parts of the device need to be replaced. Some people say that they were told they needed to pay $700 for something that the person fixed for $50 by themselves.
Louis Rossmann fixes computers and provides detailed explanations on how to fix many products for prices less than one hundred dollars. His YouTube Channel can be found here.
Pot enthusiasts bundled up against the cold last Wednesday in front of 420 Premium Market on Macleod Trail when cannabis was legalized. There was an estimate of 250 people lined up, and the number only increased as the day went by. There was a point where stock of cannabis for three months was finished, which worries some people because they think this will encourage street dealers. High demand for cannabis led to technical glitches on online websites. At one time, there was 11, 000 people waiting to set their order online, with about 200 processes every five minutes. Before 9 a.m., 40, 000 visits sold dried flowers and oils.
There are some rules around cannabis, however. These include:
- If travelling within Canada, you can take maximum 30 grams of cannabis with you.
- If you are travelling outside of Canada, you have to follow that country’s laws on cannabis. For example, you cannot enter the U.S.A. with cannabis or possibly even with a history of being convicted with it.
- In Calgary airports, only medical cannabis is allowed to be smoked.
The new K-4 curriculum includes education on consent and literacy. Children in these grades will be taught about personal space and how to respect others’ ideologies, needs, and wants. These kids will also be taught how to use a keyboard, and fractions will be taught in grade one instead of three. Memorizing the times table will become compulsory. There are no references to LGBTQ issues, however, learning how to respect others and their relationships are a key improvement to the curriculum.
