I have to agree with PornHub's idea.

A device should be able it indicate in its browser headers whether its primary user is an adult or a minor and the service can react accordingly.

It won't protect all the children but children of parents who can't be assed to setup a device properly will have problems no matter how much we increase the surveillance state.

Elon Musk Sued For Fraud By Petition Signers Over Million Dollar Vote Buying Scheme

Either he was buying votes via an Illegal Lottery...

OR

He was rigging a lottery that was NOT an attempt to buy votes.

Each of those things is illegal and he has to have done at least one of them.

For the record he realistically did both buying votes and rigging his lottery.

BUT let's not pretend he will face consequences.

France runs fusion reactor for record 22 minutes

Reply in thread

LLNL has achieved positive power output with their experiments. https://www.llnl.gov/article/49301/shot-ages-fusion-ignition-breakthrough-hailed-one-most-impressive-scientific-feats-21st

No fusion reactor today is actually going to generate power in the useful sense.

These are more about understanding how Fusion works so that a reactor that is purpose built to generate power can be developed in the future.

Unlike the movies real development is the culmination of MANY small steps.

Today we are holding reactions for 20 minutes. 20 years ago getting a reaction to self sustain in the first place seemed impossible.

Chamberlain shuts off access to MyQ’s APIs, breaking smart home integrations

My previous house was smart down to nearly every light being RGB Hue. For movie nights it kicked ass to be able to sync the lights in my living room / kitchen to the movie.

The challenge in IoT is the "I". Many companies make cheap products that REQUIRE internet to work and are not going to work longer than a decade in most cases.

When I was designing that house I had made it a point to not purchase any device that was not Zigbee, Z-Wave or Natively compatible with HomeKit which led to a very robust setup that would continue to function even when the internet was down.

If you are dabbling I recommend making the same decision even if you plan to use GoogleHome or Alexa. The HomeKit compatible things usually cost more for a reason.

The laws around advertising are fucked to begin with but the headers SHOULD be used in advertising 100%

The minor flag would actually remove the LARGE gray area that platforms take advantage of to push harmful ADs and content to kids (Today they just get to play dumb)

This would actually create a framework to enforce existing advertising laws as well as data collection laws with regards to minors.

Examples: Minors should not see ads for holsters, knives, ammo, ED medications, Diet drugs, muscle building drugs, Alcohol, Tobacco products, Online Gambling

These are all things I have seen advertised on YouTube to me; Granted I am not a minor but I am also just using Youtube by going to the site with no account.
