Any updates on the new calendar?

Reassessing my calendar usage ahead of uni starting in a few weeks. I'm currently using Google Calendar. I'd love to switch to Proton, and I know they're working on a complete rewrite, but I also know that Proton can sometimes not meet the promises they make in the roadmaps. Have there been any updates about it since?

Koodo phone retail prices are higher than MSRP

According to Koodo, the Z Flip 8 retails for $1875; Samsung, Best Buy, etc have it for $1550. For the Pixel 11 they charge $1465; Google sells it for $1250. It looks like Telus does the same, unsurprisingly. I assume they share a price structure.

Am I missing something, or is it effectively a scam (ignoring discounts) to buy through Koodo?

Is Yaelokre/Keath moving away from the lore and story?

Basically the title. It seems like Foreword is a lot more directly about Keath. Are they moving away from the characters and world of meadowlark that's been in their music up to this point?

MOVIE SPOILER Question about Tagah

Tagah's motivation was to protect his people; in lieu of having people to protect, to get revenge and to bring back his people. But the Denied were never air nomads. They were presumably from the earth kingdom or fire nation. Why would he give them bending? They wouldn't be his people, they would just be other airbenders. Was that all he cared about?

Portable AC making "rubbing" sound

I have this TCL portable A/C https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/tcl-3-in-1-smart-portable-air-conditioner-12000-btu-sacc-8300-btu-white-black/19633720.

It's been making this sort of... rubbing or scratching sound? Not constantly, but frequently. Here's a recording of it: https://recorder.google.com/d8de0b8b-7871-4b9a-b027-d2df53650730 The sound happens right at the start, and then again at around 15 seconds.

Is this normal? Or a cause for concern?

English-only PDF of a bill?

Honestly this is a different question than most of what's on this sub, so hopefully I'm asking in the right place; if not, sorry!

I'm trying to download an English-only PDF of a bill in Parliament (specifically C-34, which was introduced yesterday). I'm doing some research on it for uni and having a PDF is easier to markup/annotate/etc than the webpage, but the only PDF I can find to download on this page is a bilingual one with English and French columns, which is annoying to work with. Is there any way to get an English-only PDF?

Device randomly failing play integrity

I'm on a Pixel 10 running the latest Android 17 beta (not the QPR), build 17 (CP21.260330.008). For some reason all of a sudden my device has started to fail play integrity; for example I can't add a new credit card to Google Wallet. I haven't yet tried to actually pay in store. I've attached a screenshot of the results from a play integrity checker I downloaded. I tried to clear the play services cache and restart my phone, and that didn't fix it. Any advice?

Banks that let you change your e-transfer name?

Basically the title. I'm looking for banks or CUs that let you change the name used for your e-transfer profie -- so that's the name that appears when I send money but also the name that appears when someone types in my autodeposit info. (I know I could turn off autodeposit but it's pretty convenient.) Any options?

I'm not in Ontario, but this seemed to be the biggest Canada-specific trans sub, and the advice I'd imagine wouldn't be that different; but no Ontario-only banks or CUs unfortunately.

How can I get back to learning Spanish after a while?

I took Spanish for years in school, but it's been ~3 years since I last took a Spanish class. I've had my phone in Spanish and I sometimes read simple things in Spanish just to keep some exposure to it, but I don't know how to improve. Since it's been so long, I've forgotten a ton of stuff, and I don't feel like I can learn grammar and such just from consuming Spanish media. Anyone have any tips?

(Hopefully the flair on this post is correct; I'm asking for advice, not giving advice, so hopefully it applies!)

Routines running twice?

I have some IKEA smart lights and the new Bilresa buttons, set up over matter. I've created various routines to control the lights (e.g. when I press the main button on either the button on my nightstand or by the door, toggle the lights on/off). But in the last few days, most of the time when I press a button, the routines run twice very quickly in succession. Does anyone else have this issue?

Are the newer quip brushes better?

I know the original quip brushes (the sonic ones) were barely electric and didn't do much. Are the new ones (ultra, ultra lite, and rev oscillating brushes) any better? They're appealing to me over an ordinary Sonicare or Oral-B brush because they're compact, but I won't get one if it doesn't actually do anything.
