Price increases for internet in Quebec

58$ for 500 and 68$ for 940. I'm glad I locked in 44$ for 400 a long while back, but C'mon. It's like Fizz isn't even trying anymore. I'm *this* close to jumping to e-box just for the better upload speed and latency (I don't play games, so this would be mainly to make work easier).

I got my first ever Mac a month ago. I've been enjoying learning how it works.

Prior to the Mac, I already had an iPhone, Watch and Apple TV. When I got the Mac I really liked how it integrated with my iPhone. I had always seen it and read about it, but experiencing the simple things like iMessage on my computer and copy/paste between Mac and iPhone brought my appreciation of the ecosystem to a new level.

Now I just got AirPods Pro 3 and I experienced something that I think is mundane to people who have only lived Apple, but for me (coming from Windows, coming from trying to live all Microsoft back in the day with Windows Phone, Surface, and Windows 10, and coming from non-Apple earbuds and headphones), this was a revelation.

Experienced use case:

I was listening to music with my AirPods from my iPhone. I opened my Mac and saw the AirPods icon in the menu bar. Clicked on that, switched AirPods to the Mac. Noticed I had full control over them, including changing modes and justing settings. Did some stuff on the Mac then went to watch TV. Turned on TV - 'do you want to connect your AirPods?' Sure thing. Transferred immediately to TV. Noticed I could control sound modes from the TV interface.

Everything was seamless. I know the 'magic' term has been overused with Apple, but it was almost 'magic'.

Oh, and the AirPods Pro 3 sound great. Watched F1 on Apple, ensuring the maximum experience. I had already watched F1 using my EarFun Air Pro 4, and it sounded very good, but not this good. There is a fullness to the AirPods sound that I didn't know I was missing.

For lack of a better term, I'm kvelling at the entire experience, which I always knew was there but never lived personally.

The conversion to Apple is complete. I resisted for so long but I have arrived.
