1+ hrs on the phone with the CRA yesterday just to be told to contact RBC.

After RBC was contacted ~ 3 times, I finally got a firm “CRA needs to fix this.”

Now on the phone for another 1+ hr with CRA.

2 days now. 🤨

I’m a Safari user… one of the only ones I know who does use it, but an FYI for all my siblings out there…
iOS 18.4: Stop Your Recent Searches Showing in New Safari Tabs
iOS 18.4: Stop Your Recent Searches Showing in New Safari Tabs
Apple in iOS 18.4 has introduced a potentially privacy-compromising change to Safari that puts your search history on full display when opening new tabs. Previously in iOS, opening a new tab and tapping the search field brought up the keyboard while continuing to display the personalized Safari home page. However, Apple's latest iOS 18.4 software update modifies how Safari handles new tabs by automatically showing your recent search history whenever someone taps into the search field. Privacy-conscious users are likely to raise eyebrows at the change, as it could expose previous searches in situations where users hand their devices to friends, family members, or colleagues – or just search for something when someone else is looking at their screen. A quick tap on the search field would immediately reveal what the device owner has been searching for online. Fortunately, Apple has added a toggle that reverts the new Safari tab behavior so that your recent searches are no longer on full view. * Open the Settings app on your iPhone. * Scroll down to the bottom and tap Apps. * Find Safari in the alphabetical list and tap on it, then toggle off the switch called Show Recent Searches. Of course, there's an upside to the change that you may appreciate. It makes frequently used search terms more conveniently accessible, potentially saving time if you often search for similar topics. But the convenience still comes with the tradeoff of reduced privacy, and that might be a step too far for some users.Tag: Safari This article, "iOS 18.4: Stop Your Recent Searches Showing in New Safari Tabs" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums

So POTUS is pardoning those who killed police men during the Jan 6 event but federally punishing those who vandalize one specific vehicle?

Please, someone make it make sense?

So many Canadians are doing everything right. They’ve worked hard, secured good jobs, and saved for the future. But often, it’s not enough to buy a home.

It shouldn’t be this way. So we’re making it easier to buy your first home — and removing the GST on homes up to $1 million.
