It's expected but still frustrating. I've had both trains which serve me go under maintenance leaving me with significantly less options. Some people are left with no option except driving.

I love this album.

Sadly I've been at this thread and done this already, did not work :(

People think it's just due to the trackpads being crap (and somehow Windows gets around it). I'll probably never need to buy another laptop, but if I do I will probably not buy a Dell again regardless of how much I love every other aspect of this laptop.

Still sad because my Precision 5560 (same as XPS 9510) has this floaty trackpad bug on Ubuntu and Pop OS for whatever reason! (I haven't tried any other distro). Much easier for me to swap to Linux on my laptop than my desktop because my laptop is just for Python, LaTeX, and MATLAB.

Dell even sells a 5560 with Ubuntu preinstalled, but they don't make it available for users. But I have not for the life of me been able to get the track-pad bug to go away.

According to Support Our Science FAQ:

I currently have a Tri-agency award, will it increase?

We've heard from Minister Champagne's office that current award holders will not be paid retroactively but will receive an increase in 2024-2025.

I think it's particularly the tricouncil funding that has been stagnant. FRQNT awards (Quebec) for example went up last year, and my stipend from the university also went up by 3k surprisingly. So the headline isn't that misleading as this is the biggest boost, but not the only boost as universities and provincial funding agencies have increased the stipends.

The more competitive national awards (CGS M, PGS D) were paying less than the less competitive FRQ awards. Now this is reversed and hopefully the national awards will be easier to receive since they are expecting to have more to give out in a few years on top of them paying better.

Honestly not a terrible casting...

There are users that complain about it from over a year ago. Maybe it's a slow rollout, or some game of cat-and-mouse where my ublock isn't updating for some reason.

But I can still search from the browser search bar and I get results. It's when trying to edit my search that I get problems.

I've used it a long time now. I find it to have much more relevant results than DDG did last time I tried.
