Alternative to Bell Fibe's terrible 'slim' remote❔
Bell Aliant user here, the previous 'old' remote for the Bell receiver wasn't great but ok; the new slim one is terrible, unusable garbage. The veritable epitome of 'function following form' - and the form isn't any good either. :D Anyway, is there an alternative that will work, ...

Are Marriott Bonvoy points just terrible or am I missing something?
Got an email from Bonvoy that there's a points purchase promo. I've never used the points but I was considering converting my Amex points later in the year and using that for hotel booking. The current promo gives you 40% extra points for purchasing points up to 100,000. So out of curiosity I checke...

Dell Rewards are terrible
I ordered a gaming monitor last year through Dell and didn't get the advertised rewards for it. After opening a request to get them I was told to wait a couple of weeks even though I suspected they wouldn't show up because they weren't showing as pending. I later found out that my request was closed...

Ok time to build a very basic gaming PC or terrible time to build?
I'm a relatively low demand gamer, usually pretty content with PS4/Xbox One games at 1080p or lower. I'm also in my mid-40's and life is crazy busy so I'm usually playing games released at least 2 years ago. Though I might go for Cyberpunk soonish if I do build a PC (given that it still sucks on bas...

Hisense 55Q7G with terrible internet, any apps to help 'predownload'?
I have 3mb/s at the cabin that I just got set up. I guess with no hard drive it makes it harder, but is there any apps or settings that would help download ahead rather than stream? I would love to get some 4k content but there is no way I could stream that at this connection. Sometimes even basic n...

Bypassing Bell HH3000 - successful bypass, terrible Wi-Fi speeds :(
So I have read through the variety of options at my disposal and finally settled upon the gigabit media device bypass option. I have the TP-Link Archer AX20 router - pretty good I think? And I just switched from Rogers where I was getting 500-600mbps easily using that router. The speeds with Bell ha...

Why do detached houses typically have terrible water pressure?
You know, if you're running a faucet and turn on another one, the water pressure noticeably drops.This doesn't happen in bigger buildings, so why houses? Is it some kind of bad decision that some city planner a century ago decided on, and now we're stuck with the consequences?

Uber Eats just started "Batch Order Routes" & it's terrible
Anyone order Uber Eats lately and have their food arrive much longer than normal? Blame their new "feature", not the restaurant. Uber Eats started this new "feature" designed to help restaurants, (lol) called Batch order Routes. Basically it allows their drivers to pick up multip...

Games With Gold May 2020
Overlord 2 and Martyr are the better of the bunch. Martyr is kinda mixed, but as an rpg it's not terrible and it's better than Chaosbane in my opinion. Enjoy!https://youtu.be/zJAxblYAIGk

Terrible Delta Air Review - Is this a common practice by delta
... with my carry on and its valuables. What a great start to a vacation. I travel frequently but this is first time in 30 years that this kind of terrible heavy handedness was belted out to me. So my question is - Is this common practice with Delta Airline and specially by their Toronto staff?

Is it just me or is Walmart.ca grocery delivery terrible for everyone?
I was a long-time Grocery Gateway user but switched to Walmart.ca the past two months because of the coupon codes and generally much better pricing. I live in a condo in downtown Toronto. The experience has been... awful. There is a problem with literally every single order. And whenever the driver ...

I have subscribed to their trial service and want to call in to cancel. I have called in 4 times this week and all 4 times they give me the same bullshit that their servers are not working.
