That's not entirely true, some do in fact use water cooling. There's even "of the shelf" solutions from Supermicro.

It's not widespread, but it's not inexistent.

Yup, they added bumps on my street at some points for God knows what fucking reason. McQueen sometimes has weird ideas. It was completely useless because it's already INCREDIBLY tight, there's no way to go more than 5kmh above the 30kmh speed limit. Right in front of my apartment, it seriously increased the noise level.

I think, on paper, it was a compromise because the street is so tight that they couldn't do those bump outs at the intersection, but truly it didn't need it.

They also increase noise in the neighborhood due to constant breaking ne acceleration. But tree, narrowing of streets and intersections, etc are all very effective and overall greatly improve residents quality of life.

Conscription during WWI had been seen has mostly helping the British Crown which the French Canadians aren't particularly found of, and they were often times seen as disposable and sent first as fodder. When WWII rolled in, French Canadians were weary of the war, a potential draft, and didn't particularly want to be involved.

Before you straight up downvote this after reading just the headline you should know that Kyiv Independent is highly credible and staffed with reputable journalists.

Cutting defense means they would have to shift the budget to defense.

Moreover you're helping the aggressor protect itself against finding out the consequences of their own action.

Fuck that noise.

arubox tvOn Tuesday, 52-year-old Grenier traveled from Aruba, an island off the coast of Venezuela, to Canada’s Montreal airport.

Law enforcement officers of the Sûreté du Québec (SQ – Quebec Provincial Police) escorted Grenier to the SQ police station in Shawinigan. Police had carried out an operation in February 2024 which targeted Grenier and several individuals linked to the current prosecution. Grenier, who was outside Canada at the time, avoided arrest and remained at large for more than a year.

Court Hears Allegations Concerning Signal Theft and Pirate IPTV

The warrant for Grenier’s arrest was issued as part of an investigation into the illegal acquisition and sale of TV channels distributed by Canada’s leading telecoms companies. Bell, Rogers, and Quebecor claimed their losses ran to several million Canadian dollars.

Grenier appeared at the Trois-Rivières courthouse on Wednesday. The prosecution alleges that devices supplied by Grenier provided customers with access to thousands of television channels, most if not all pirated, for a low subscription price of ~CAD$25.00 per month (US$18.00).

The authorities accuse Grenier of operating a company which in turn owned pirate IPTV service Arubox TV. As per our 2023 report, Grenier made no secret of his involvement in the IPTV market.

Police say that Arubox TV and a linked service called Stocker IPTV provided thousands of customers, 7,000 in Quebec alone, with illegal access to more than 3,500 pirated TV channels.

Grenier faces ten charges linked to the theft of telecommunications services, including conspiracy, fraud, theft, and money laundering. The alleged offenses took place between June 2020 and February 2024, generating annual profits of at least CAD$2 million (US$14m) according to Sûreté du Québec estimates.

• Conspiracy to defraud Bell, Rogers and Quebecor • Theft of telecommunications services • Production of devices linked to illegal signal access • Trafficking in devices linked to illegal signal access • Sale of devices linked to illegal signal access • Trafficking in property obtained by crime • Theft of more than CAD$5,000 • Laundering proceeds of crime • Transfer of money linked to crime in Canada with intent to conceal/convert • Computer data ‘mischief’

Other charges concern alleged trafficking in the prescription drugs Sildenfil and Tadalafil.

Seven Co-Defendants

Grenier will remain in custody until his next court appearance. The prosecution argued against Grenier’s release and insisted that he should face trial by jury, rather than by judge alone. Grenier’s co-defendants, several of whom previously appeared in court following their arrests in 2024, have already opted for a trial by jury.

A total of seven people stand accused of various crimes in the same case.

Le Nouvelliste identifies the co-defendants as follows:

• Danick Rouleau, 39, of Saint-Eustache (alleged Stocker IPTV operator) • Sarah-Maude Grenier, 25, of Brownsburg-Chatham • Marie-Ève ​​Poliquin Karaguioules, 26, of Saint-Eustache • Éric Laforge, 44, of Gatineau • Daniel Perreault-Marcotte, 38, of Saint-Henri • Patrick Cyr, 49, of Longueuil • Christian Sabourin, 60, of Princeville

Are Customers at Risk of Prosecution?

While police have offered assurances that customers are not targets in the current criminal investigation, possession of a pirate device could be a criminal offense in its own right. Police are therefore advising affected customers to dispose of their pirate devices at recycling centers.

Pirate subscriptions make legal devices illegalarubox-tv-spec

The IPTV services in question are known to have been installed on relative expensive Formuler set-top boxes. When fresh out of their packaging, these Android-based devices are perfectly legal; only the subsequent configuration for piracy purposes changes that.

A full and properly executed factory reset will remove the offending configuration, help the environment, and via legal apps installed from Google Play, provide access to legal streaming services.
