Vancity has OTP 2FA as an alternative, I think they added that sometime last year which I really appreciate.

Provincial Small Claims Court should be the appropriate avenue for this person to get restitution. This is different than a scam, where the person is fooled into approving a request, banks have more reason to say its the victim's responsibility, but here the money disappeared with no action on the victim's part.

Unless TD can prove that it was something the customer did that allowed their money to leave their account that way and the customer can show they weren't negligent either, and had tried to follow all internal steps to resolution as soon as he noticed, he should have a decent case to argue. I think in this particular case I'd get a lawyer to keep TD from weaseling out on their technical excuses.

One of the University of Toronto professors behind the study, Karen Chapple, said in an interview that the decline in Grand Rapids MI suggested a drop in auto-industry business meetings due to tariffs.

It's easy, if Neverball and Super Tux Kart are the only games one plays, nobody can claim they support monopolists, anti-consumer practices or billionaires.

I checked out the zoom platform, seems nice, majority are Windows games though.

I acknowledge that it's important to raise awareness of bad practices, demanding change and highlighting alternatives where available. However, if you tie yourself in knots over every debacle, and permanently hold it as a grudge long after it's addressed positively, then I'd start thinking your hobby is grudge-holding rather than gaming.

Guess what, self-described "good Christian"s of America, you're going to get kicked out of the in-group as soon as it's convenient for the MAGA Republican party.

Like it or not, it's the Government of Canada's official position: "It’s your responsibility to know and abide by local laws.".

Not sure this makes things better or not, but I think more accurately it's a question of whether games are considered a service or a good. The games industry wants to treat game software with online connection components as a service, while in some respects presenting it as a good at the point-of-sale.

Thanks for showing up. And yes you're correct, "doing nothing" is a meme, dervied from the fact that Epic, Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony are all outwardly very anti-consumer, while Valve is simply less so. Yes they have done some shady things over 20 years, however they have also done wonders in the field of Linux game compatibility, helping (credit to the non-Valve developers) break Microsoft's monopoly on operating systems for PC gaming. In contrast, GOG has done little besides provide the occasional script, Linux version of their official library manager is only now in development after 10 years of begging for it.

Yes, you can still play DRM-free games, FOSS games and get some games directly from the publisher, but in terms of distributors, you're essentially left with itch.io (unless the time they removed nsfw games from CC processor pressure is also a bridge too far for you).

I think it's deserving of the ministers of the UCP Government to be asked by the media this BS question the party themselves made up.

That deadline, although Carney has qualified it as merely a framework toward the goal, kind of passed by with little fanfare. Some links of last month's stories to refresh your memory below:

Since they know the idea of travelling to the US is unpopular among Canadians right now, Porter seems to be trying the "asking for a New York friend" route in their advertising. This is the 2nd one I've seen.

I've been watching/listening, seeing Peter sub in for David is making me do double-takes, and aside from his voice made me question for a minute if they were the same guy, just that he grew hair all of a sudden.
