2026 TC10K - Together, We Soar — RunSport
Welcome to the 37th annual TC10K on April 26, 2026, in beautiful downtown Victoria! Everyone is welcome to walk, run, and connect in a celebration of community and inclusivity. This year’s theme, Together, We Soar, celebrates exactly that. The feeling of lifting one another, of cheering for someone
Esquimalt Buccaneer Days is this weekend, but no parade this year
1) Watch out for scam texts claiming to be from BC Hydro
The texts look like the screenshot shown here, which was received by our Grade 10 Spanish homestay student Sofía.
The text claims there's been a billing error and BC Hydro owes you $132, and urges you to tap on a link to get back that overpayment.
Don't do it — IT'S A SCAM!
First of all, if BC Hydro did make a billing error, the amount would be credited to your account, you wouldn't have to claim it.
If you were to tap on the link, it'd take you to a fake BC Hydro website (which has since been taken down) showing the 'billing error' and instructing you to cliock on the name of your bank or credit union to have the $132 deposited into…
If you were to tap on any of the banks or credit unions, it'd take you to a fake log-in page for that institution, where the overseas scammers are hoping you'll give then your log-in info.
Scams like this are why most banks and credit unions wILL NO LONGER let you log in with just your password, and now insist on two-factor authentication, where email or text you a code to prove it's you trying to log in.
The scammers are hoping you use the same password for your bank or credit union, as you do for your email account, so they can get into that account and then get a code from the bank, so they can get into your bank account and steal your money as well as your identity.
NEVER click on links in texts or emails like this — they're ALL scams
2) If you have an iPhone or iPad, Apple has released an important update to prevent anyone from reading encrypted messages
The update — iOS/iPadOS 26.4.2 — fixes the flaw which we told you about last week, that allowed encrypted messages to be accessed by law enforcement via the unencrypted notifications alerting you to the arrival of messages.
We had suggested that iif this possibility concerned you, to turn off Notiofication Previews for messaging apps such as Messages, WhatsApp, Messenger, Signal, and Telegram.
Apple has now rushed-out an update the fix this issue, so if you had turned off Notification Previews, you can turn them back on after installing this update.
Because of the significance of this flaw, Apple has also released special updates for iPhones and iPads that are too old to be able to run iOS/iPadOS 26. Those special updates are iOS/iPadOS 18/7.8.
Install the update without waiting to get it via Automatic Updates by going to Settings> General> Software Update.
3) Watch out for scam emails that appear to be from your bank
Here's a screenshot of one of these new scam emails, shared by Berle Zwaan, the retired Saanich Police fraud prevention officer who runs the Outsmart The Scammer Fraud Prevention Society…
There are several warning flags: the email is coming from a SurveyMonkey email address (someone with a SurveyMonkey account is using their service to distribute these emails instead of a survey), and it's addressed to "Dear Valued Customer" and not you by name.
The "Log In to Scotia Online Banking" button takes you to a fake Scotiabank log-in page, where the scammers are hoping you'll give them your banking password.
NEVER click on links in emails like this!
if you think there might be a real message coming from your bank, close your email and go directly to the bank website or app and login to your account there and see.
4) Watch out for scam emails that look like a standard Rogers account statement — except the amount is way too high
The scam emails, as shown in the screenshot below from Tech Talk listener Bob, look very similar to a monthly Rogers/Shaw account statement email…
The scammers are hoping you'll be so upset by the huge total ($579.61!) that you won't notice where the email came from…
If you were to click on any of the links in the actual email, you'd be takn to a fake Shaw log-in page hosted on a website run by Base44 in San Francisco, (highlighted in yellow, below)…
…and if you were to overlook that and click on the button to review your bill, you'd be taken to a fake Shaw webmail log-in page hosted on the San Francisco-based Framer cloud platform…
If you were to type in your Shaw email address and password, because there's no two-factor authentication on Shaw email service to make sure it's you logging-in, the overseas scammers would immediately use that info to log into your email account and start forwarding a copy of all your emails to them, so they could begin triggering password resets for other accounts, stealing first your identity and then your money.
NEVER click on links in emails like this!
If you want to check your bill amount for this or any account, go directly to your account online, which in this case, would be at Rogers.com/myrogers/shaw.
Because there's no two-factor authentication on Shaw email accounts, if you have one, please get someone to help you migrate off onto another email service.
5) Watch out for scam emails claiming to be from Intelcom, the package delivery people
The scam emails look like the screenshot below, claiming they can't deliver a package because of incomplete address info. Note the address where the email came from, highlighted in yellow…
"Delivery problem" email scams are very common, beacuse so many of us are having online orders delivered. They all have several things in common:
- They're not addressed to you by name
- They don't say what the item is
- They don't say who the package is from
They want you to click or tap on a button to update your address info, and if you do, you'll be taken to a fake webpage for the delivery company (not the one letter spelling difference)…
If you ignore that warning sign, no matter what name and address you provide, you'll be told that you have to pay a small 'redelivery fee', and to do that, you'll have to give them your credit card info…
AIf you supply your credit card info, within minutes, overseas scammers will use that info to make online purchases of items which they can easily sell online, until your credit limit is reached, or your credit card company freezes your account. NEVER click on links in texts or emails like this!
Tech Deals This Weekend
Fido, Virgin+, Koodo, and Public Mobile have ended the mobile service price war, leaving only Freedom Mobile offering great deals
Flanker brands — Fido, Virgin+, Public Mobile, and Koodo — have all changed their wireless plans, cutting data and raising prices after a short-lived price war dominated by Freedom Mobile.
Earlier this month, the flanker brands rolled out $40/60GB plans, but now those deals are gone. They've now all upped their rates while cutting or entirely removing CAN/US/MEX options.
Fortunately, Quebec-based Freedom Mobile which is owned by Quebec-based Vidéotron,is still offering deals, although they're no longer as great as a few weeks ago...
Freedom's plans all include Canada/USA/Mexico calling and data roaming, but also include a monthly allotment of "Roam Beyond" data good in 120+ countries, as well as unlimited calling in any included country and back to Canada. The best part is, all the plans are available to current customers as well as to new customers.
If you don't need a huge amount of data, Freedom also has a six-month prepaid plan that gives you unlimited Canada/USA calling and data roaming and 25GB of data, for $120 paid up front, which works out to $20/month. It renews every six months for the same price.
The only other carrier with anything close is Telus-owned Public Mobile
Public Mobile's $35/month plan offers more data — 80GB/month vs. Freedom's 25GB/month, but Public Mobile offers Canada-only calling and data, where Freedom's works in +120 countries — and none of Public Mobile's plans include any overseas service, and none let you share your data via tethering or a hotspot…
Freedom's coverage is also the best of the big four carriers, because the agreement that saw them sold by Shaw when Rogers bought Shaw, allows Freedom customers to roam seamlessly at no charge onto the networks of Rogers, Telus, and Bell when they're beyond the reach of the fast-growing network of Freedom towers. That deal will continue for seven more years to give Freedom time to build-out its nationwide network.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: $15 off at London Drugs, but online only here in Victoria as local stores are all sold out
itself automatically, and has virtually no impact on performance.
And this weekend, London Drugs has a three-licence Malwarebytes Standard pack (it used to be called Malwarebytes Premium) on sale for $35 (save $20). Good for any combination of three devices — Windows, Mac, or Android (not needed for iPhones or iPads). Available in-store and online, but Victoria area stores are all sold out, so order online with free delivery…
They're back in stock: North America/European/UK travel power charger on sale for just $8 at London Drugs
When we told you about this deal two weekends ago, they sold out within an hour! In response, London Drugs has brought in more, and they've also dropped the price by an additional $2.
No more needing separate chargers for here and Europe: you can now get a Joby 20W USB-C fast-charging power charger that works here in North America and has a snap-on adapter for use in the Europe and the UK. They're usually $40, but while they last, they're on sale for just $8 — a $32 saving — at London Drugs stores (not online)…
We took two of them to Europe last summer and used them in France, Czechia, and Germany to charge our iPhones and also Suzanne's iPad and Apple Watch, while visiting our former homestay students and their families. Here in Victoria, the Tillicum and Colwood stores have the most stock.
iQ international power adaptor: just $5 — starting on Monday — as the "Deal Of The Week" at London Drugs
If you already have a power brick or plug-in device (such as a laptop or shaver) that you want to use overseas, and just need a travel adapter so your plus wil fit into an outlet in a foreign country, the "Deal of the Week” at London Drugs this coming week will be an international power adapter kit that's normally $20, and it'll be just $5 all week, starting on Monday.

10) A new rule will make it a lot easier for us to modify or cancel or change our phone, internet and TV plans — but not for another year
The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has implemented new rules to make it easier for you and me to change or cancel our phone, cable and internet plans.
The CRTC says the new rule will ensure that we can change or cancel our service through an app, online, or by email. However, the new rule won't take effect until a year from now — April 26, 2027 — to be specific.
The CRTC says that delay is to allow carriers time to develop and modify their systems to meet the new requirement for simple self-service changes and cancellations without having to speak to (an elusive) live human.
11) Rogers is offering faster 5G+ plans, but they're pricey
Rogers has revamped its 5G wireless plans, adding some new features, including a five-year price lock and ‘Priority Network Access’ for customers on the company’s priciest $95/month plan.
Rogers says customers with a compatible 5G phone will now be able to access data speeds up to 2Gbps, as well as its expanded satellite coverage, which now includes the USA through a partnership with T-Mobile.
The biggest change, however, is the introduction of a price lock and Priority Network Access. With the price lock, Rogers is following in the footsteps of Telus, which started offering its own price lock in July 2025, and Freedom Mobile, which has long offered a ‘Price Freeze Promise’ to customers.
These plans are not cheap, though…
The top three plans all include access to data speeds up to 2Gbps and unlimited internatioanl texting.
The $80/month plan includes Canada/USA/Mexico/Caribbean data-roaming and calling, plus unlimited calling to 27 countries, while the top plan, which is $95/month, includes data-roaming and calling in 64 countries, plus unlimited calling to 27 countries.
Rogers says the top plan also includes "Priority Network Access", which is says will ensure that you stay connected at the fastest data-speeds even when service is very congested.
About Rogers
Rogers Launches All-New Value-Packed 5G+ Plans on Canada's Best 5G+ Network - About Rogers
Today, Rogers unveiled all-new 5G+ plans bringing Canadians more benefits and ultimate value on Canada’s best 5G+ network. And customers who bundle with Rogers Xfinity, Canada’s most reliable internet and best entertainment experience, get even more value. The new plans come packed with premium features, including industry‑firsts no other Canadian […]
By comparison, Freedom Mobile's most expensive plan is cheaper than all of these Rogers plans at $65/month, and includes 250GB/month of Canada/USA/Mexico data and calling, plus 20GB/month of data-roaming and unlimited calling in more than 120 countries and back to Canada.
12) Free Canadian-made Paced app for Android phones ties screen-time limits to how much you walk
Saskatoon-based realtor and app developer Rhonda Lavoie has ainvented an app to help us cut down on how much time we waste scrolling through social media.
Paced, Lavoie’s free Android app, works by having users select three apps that they want to use less, and then the app gives them 30 minutes of screen time. Once the allotted time is up, a pop-up appears, locking you out of the app for an hour and nudging you to take a break.
But this isn’t just a standard screen-time assistant, because she included a unique way to reduce the time you have before the app unlocks: steps.
Paced users can reduce the hour lockout by three minutes for every 100 steps they walk. This could be especially useful on a nice Saturday, encouraging users to go for a walk, or if you have a workspace you can walk around in.
Paced also has a pro mode, which unlocks additional capabilities. These include limits for additional apps, custom app groups, customizable timers, schedules for different rules (such as for work or home), statistics, and more.
The Paced app is currently available on the Play Store for free, while the Pro subscription costs either $9.99/mo or $49.99/year.
For now, Paced is available only on Android, mainly due to Lavoie’s familiarity with the platform. But she does say that an iOS version is coming soon for the iPhone users out there.
13) OpenAI has released Images 2.0, which the firm says begins a new era of AI image generation
OpenAI has unveiled ChatGPT Images 2.0, its new image generation engine. Key to this release is a jump in functionality from creating "decorations" (OpenAI's term) to full-page graphics, including detailed text.
One of the biggest claims of the release is that the new model “thinks” and acts like a “visual thought partner”. The idea is that agents do some work behind the scenes to thoroughly understand the task and reason over it before executing the generation request.
The new model also natively supports generating up to 10 images from the same prompt. OpenAI promises character and object continuity throughout all of those outputs.
Here's an example from this week: the DataCamp team gave ChatGPT Images 2.0 this task:
"Create a celebratory poster-style infographic commemorating the course record set at yesterday's Boston Marathon. Include the winner's name, country, finish time, and the margin by which the previous record was broken. Include one or two additional stats or context details that make the achievement meaningful."
Here's the result, which they checked, and is 100% accurate…
- Free Users: Have access to the base ImageGen 2.0 model for standard tasks.
- Plus and Pro Users: Can access "Thinking" capabilities, which include tool use, web search, and multi-image generation.
14) Man faces five years in prison for using AI to fake a sighting of a runaway wolf in Korea, prompting a massive search
South Korean police have arrested a man for sharing an AI-generated image that misled authorities who were searching for a wolf that had broken out of a zoo in Daejeon city.
The 40-year-old unnamed man is accused of disrupting the search by creating and distributing a fake photo purporting to show Neukgu, the wolf, trotting down a road intersection.
The photo, circulated hours after Neukgu went missing on 8 April, prompted authorities to urgently relocate their search operation, sending them on a wild wolf chase.
The hunt for two-year-old Neukgu gripped the nation before he was finally caught near an expressway last week, nine days after his escape.
The AI-generated image of Neukgu had prompted Daejeon city government to issue an emergency text to residents, warning them of a wolf near the intersection. Authorities also presented the AI image during a press briefing on the runaway wolf, local media reported.
The police identified the man as a suspect after reviewing security camera footage and his AI programme usage records. Authorities did not specify if the man had intentionally sent the photo to authorities during their search or simply shared it online.
When questioned by the police, the man said he had done it "for fun", local media reported.
Authorities are investigating him for disrupting government work by deception, an offence that carries up to five years in prison or a maximum fine of 10 million Korean won ($9200 CAD)
For more than a week, the search for Neukgu captured the attention of South Koreans across the country - including the country's president Lee Jae Myung, who publicly prayed for the wolf's safe return.
15) Samsung execs are worried skyrocketing memory costs could make the firm lose money on smartphones for the first time
Selling smartphones used to be easy—everyone wanted one, and every new phone was a lot better than the one that came before. Things are different now that smartphones are mature products. Plenty of manufacturers have thrown in the towel, leaving big players like Samsung to sell a new phone every couple of years. But even Samsung may find it tough to turn a profit in 2026 due to the ongoing race to build more AI capacity.
According to Money Today (Korean), Samsung's Mobile Experience head TM Roh has warned company leadership that it could be headed for the first net loss on smartphones in the company’s history. Even during times of economic strife or amid pandemic-related supply chain chaos, Samsung still made money on smartphones. The skyrocketing price of DRAM and NAND may be what finally breaks the streak despite strong Galaxy S26 sales.
Shortages of these components have affected all types of computing hardware, from consumer laptops to servers. The LPDDR5x me mory found in most mobile devices is increasingly important for AI. Nvidia’s Vera AI CPU, which will replace Grace later in 2026, will have up to 1.5 TB of LPDDR5x memory. The company’s upcoming rack-scale AI platforms will have 36 Vera CPUs alongside 72 Rubin GPUs. The CPUs in a single server will consume enough RAM for 4,600 Galaxy S26 Ultra devices (12GB each).
Until recently, the application processor (which includes the cellular radio) was the most expensive component of most smartphones, and the display usually came in right below that. The AI era has upended the formula, roughly doubling the cost of memory and storage. According to Counterpoint Research, RAM will account for more than a third of the cost of building a budget phone in mid-2026. Even with more expensive devices, memory is still north of 20% of the cost.
There are already signs that RAM and storage costs are making phones more expensive. Motorola recently raised the price of its Moto G budget phones by up to 50%. Low-cost devices like the Moto G will feel the rising cost of components the most, making the very idea of a budget phone in the coming years suspect.
With the prospect of sinking profitability in 2026, Samsung is also making changes. The recently released Galaxy A37 and A57 mid-range devices come with a $50 price hike over the last generation. The company has also increased prices on some more expensive devices, adding $80 to the Galaxy Z Flip 7 (512 GB) and Z Fold 7 (512 GB and 1 TB). Some of its tablets are also more spendy, including a $100 increase for the Galaxy Tab S11.
16) Google has confirmed that a new Gemini-powered Siri will be coming to iPhones, iPads and Macs later this year
Search giant Google has publicly confirmed that Apple's updated Siri, complete with its long-promised personalized responses, will finally be coming out at some point later thsi year.
Google Cloud chief Thomas Kurian mentioned the Apple partnership during this week's Google Cloud Next 2026 conference in Las Vegas…
Earlier this year, we announced a monumental partnership with one of the most iconic brands that will bring the power of our technology to users everywhere around the world. We're collaborating with Apple as their preferred cloud provider to develop the next generation of Apple Foundation Models based on Gemini technology.These models will now power future Apple Intelligence features including a more personalized Siri coming later this year."
According to rumours, Apple was planning to release the Apple Intelligence version of Siri in spring 2026, but ran into issues with accuracy. Since Apple never gave a launch date beyond 2026, the Siri update isn't exactly delayed, but Apple has needed to adjust its internal schedule. Apple has until December 31, 2026 to update Siri, but we could get a first look at the new personal assistant in iOS 27.
Kurian did say that Google Cloud is Apple's "preferred cloud provider," which is the same language that Google used earlier this year. It continues to be unclear if the new Siri and Gemini-powered Apple Intelligence features will use Private Cloud Compute or will run on Google's servers.
Apple has asked Google to investigate setting up servers in Google data centers to run Siri because Apple is anticipating much more cloud usage when the smarter Siri launches.
Apple plans to introduce iOS 27 at the Worldwide Developers Conference, which is set to begin on June 8, 2026. We'll hear more about Siri at WWDC.
17) Google says it's working on a fix for a Pixel 9 Pro XL battery drain issue that began after the most recent update
Following the rollout of the April 2026 update on Google Pixel phones, a widespread battery drain issue has hit, but the company is looking into the matter.
For the past few days, an Issue Tracker thread has picked up hundreds of comments regarding the same issue, battery drain following the April 2026 Pixel update. The sheer amount of attention on this thread tells us this issue is pretty widespread, with nearly 600 comments in less than 10 days. There are reports on Reddit and elsewhere, too.
The problem seems to boil down, as one user found, to CPU wakeups, with the phone continuously working in the background, even when the screen is off, and you’re not using it. Others report that battery drain is noticeable even when the Pixel is in airplane mode, while battery life has been cut to just a few hours of screen time or even cut in half for some.
Google first acknowledged the issue on April 14 and has continued to request bug reports as it investigates the issue. No fix has been found just yet, though.
Hopefully, Google can identify the problem in time for the May update in the next couple of weeks.
20) Warner Bros. shareholders have approved their $81 billion USD sale to Paramount which could significantly reshape Hollywood
An $81-billion US Warner-Paramount mega-merger has received shareholders' stamp of approval, propelling a deal that could vastly reshape Hollywood and the wider media landscape closer to the finish line.
Skydance-owned Paramount wants to buy all of Warner. That means HBO Max, cult-favourite titles like Harry Potter, and even CNN, could soon find themselves under the same roof as CBS, Top Gun, and the Paramount+ streaming service.
But its not a done deal just yet. The acquisition still faces ongoing regulatory reviews, including from the U.S. Department of Justice. Warner has said it expects to close the deal sometime in the third fiscal quarter.
Thousands of actors, directors, writers and other industry professionals have voiced "unequivocal opposition" to the deal, in a letter arguing that further consolidation will lead to job losses and fewer choices for filmmakers and moviegoers.

Warner Bros. shareholders approve $81-billion US takeover by Paramount | CBC News
An overwhelming majority of Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders voted in support of selling the business to Paramount on Thursday. The approval by shareholders is a big step toward the deal being finalized, which would have big implications for the media landscape.
21) Apple CEO Tim Cook will step down this fall, and hand the reins to John Ternus, currently Senior VP of Hardware Engineering
In a surprise announcement on Monday, Apple announced its transition plan,with John Ternus stepping into Tim Cook's CEO position, effective September 1, 2026.
"Cook will continue in his role as CEO through the summer as he works closely with Ternus on a smooth transition," Apple said in a statement. "As executive chair, Cook will assist with certain aspects of the company, including engaging with policymakers around the world."
Choosing Ternus as a successor is not a surprise, but making the announcement now dod catch anlysts off-guard, as Cook was expected to stay on as CEO till the end of the year.
Reflecting on his 15-year year run as Apple CEO, Cook says he's most proud of the sometimes-life-saving health features they've built into Apple Watches, while he says their rushed release of Apple Maps in 2012 is his biggest regret.

25) Kathryn's Paleontology News Item of the Week: paleontologists think a monstrous octopus terrorized seas off our coast
Monstrous octopuses the size of modern whales prowled the seas during the Age of Dinosaurs, snatching prey with their huge tentacles and crunching them with powerful jaws, fossils from B.C. and Japan suggest.
Like mythical, tentacled sea monsters such as the Kraken, these creatures grew as large as 19 metres long — about the size of a sei whale, the third largest living whale — reports a new study published in the journal Science.
One of two species described, Nanaimotethis haggarti, "may even have been among the largest invertebrates in Earth's history," wrote Yasuhiro Iba, a professor at the University of Hokkaido and the senior author of the study, in an email.
The official record holder, the modern giant or colossal squid, tops out at around 12 metres.
I took advantage of the great weather and no school this past Monday (it was a Pro-D Day) to take our Grade 10 homestay students — Sofía from Madrid and Natsuki from Osaka — to Vancouver.
Friends Rick, Zack, John, and Omun joined us as we explored Canada Place and the new version of "Fly Over Canada", as well as Capilano Canyon, Granville Island, and English Bay…
Natsuki does not like heights, but she overcame her fears and jtogether we crossed the suspension bridge, explored the treetops walk, and did the cliff walk!
Back home, we also took Sofía up to ȽÁU,WELṈEW̱/John Dean Park to admire the spectacular view over the Saanich Peninsula and the Salish Sea from Pickles Bluff, a hidden gem.
On Friday night, good friend Sharon invited Suzanne and me and others to help her mark a milestone birthday with a painting party led by Kelsie Gibson (PaintWithKelsie.com), who taught mostly first-time painters how to each create their own version of a west coast sunset scene…
