Right, so use them to your advantage? Don’t allow unfettered internet access on the device you give your child. Use MDM/Parental controls to lock its internet access to a proxy or VPN that blocks adult websites, as well as other anonymizers. Business have been doing this since forever.
It’s not on you to know every single website and what it does. All major security providers maintain a classification database of websites that they use to filter the internet. Most major corporations subscribe to those lists, as do schools (I think by law). All you would do is buy one of these services and the blacklist would be managed by them. They’re not 100% perfect, and you child will be able to find a picture of boobs if they try hard enough, but that has always been the case.
One quick and easy way is to change your DNS to 1.1.1.3, which is a public resolver Cloudflare runs which filters out adult domains. This doesn’t scale if you’ve given your child a cellular device that can connect to other networks, but in that case you shouldn’t have done that, or should secure that device with a security solution that can enforce polices across the OS.
Personally I think it should be easier for parents to be able to do this kind of thing without having to learn too much about the tech, but deciding how to raise your child and what to shelter them from is your responsibility. These products have existed for decades. Instead of forcing OS manufactures to confirm ages and identities, we should focus on making sure parents have access to easy to use parental controls.
My mistake, it always allowed PHEVs in Canada and I made the assumption it was similar elsewhere as a full blown EV mandate is a really though sell. Thanks for clarifying.
While battery degradation is real, one thing people often overlook is that most of these mandates include PHEVs under the umbrella of electric vehicles. PHEVs have way smaller batteries which make them lighter, cheaper, and they aren’t subject to range anxiety. The only downside is the extra cost and the continued maintenance required of an ICE (but ICE buyers are used to it and don’t care about that).
Windows itself already does this type of tracking to determine your time zone.
Totally different. Go take a look at one of these things. Many of them aren’t even GPUs you can slot into anything, they’re totally custom and integrated into the main board which expects special cooling and interconnects. Like I said, if youre the mad scientists type that has a dedicated space for loud enterprise server racks, yeah, I’m sure you could figure out something. But this isn’t going to be like a bunch or RAM and GPUs that you or I can use.
I wouldn’t knock it until you’ve tried it. I would never get an EV without 1 pedal drive. The only downside is it takes a few days to get used to, which isn’t great when test driving and coming from 2 pedal. It feels weird at first.
There’s actually a simpler explanation. Companies will purposefully make their products worse to keep you using them longer. By prioritizing the algorithm over your search results you’re staying in the app longer, seeing more algo suggestions, and more likely to give up on your search and click something else.
Good examples of this are Google purposefully crippling their own search, or Netflix making it impossible to see what movies they actually have. So they kneecap the product. What are you going to do? Stop using it? If the answer is no, then there’s room to make it just a little worse…
I know you put /S, but for other people that read this it will not be an option. These only work in specialised servers that you will not he able to run at home (unless you’re a mad scientists type).
It’s not even ECC RAM that’s the issue, it’s that they’re not making DDR ram at all, it’s HBM RAM which is totally different. That and the GPUs are custom solutions that slot into specialty liquid cooled server chassis with proprietary connecters and everything. It’s simply not for anything except for it’s current purpose in a server.
I know how you feel, it’s too bad this is impacting Valve. I really want their new controller which won’t be hit by this, but I expect they’re still going to wait and release it with the other products.
The problem is it’s manufacturing capacity that is being bought. They’re going to use that capacity to build HBM modules and data centre GPUs that cannot run outside of specialized servers. There will be a lot of high end gear gathering dust, but nothing you or I can use.
Maybe if you’re a large business/enterprise you could get some hardware on the cheap during the crash, but it’s not ot like those things are full of DDR5 DIMMs and RTX GPUs.
It’s more that Vivaldi is just Chrome under the hood.
God forbid people “suffer” by watching a completely voluntary video of someone trying to help others. Look, I didn’t watch the video, but no matter how long it was it’s got supposedly helpful information in it and we should be thankful someone’s taking the time to post at all.
It’s not their job to put it in a format you like, just move on and don’t be an entitled ass about it. I’m sure your parents taught you if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all.
Good for you! I got fed up with Chrystler and I’m never buying from them again. From now on I’m only buying Dodge!

I respect your opinion, but it’s not one that will be held by average users.
That’s what sparked it here too, a 911 issue with early android phones. They were going to ban several models outright since they couldn’t confirm you did the update if you BYOD or were on custom roms, but eventually settled on a waiver that you could sign absolving them of any liability if you kept your phone.
I can see the perspective of the telcos but outright bans is just not the answer, especially since they make money from the sale of new phones. It re-enforces their monopoly and keeps everyone reliant on them for phones (which they love). The only way to fix this is through the government.
Canadian telcos did this 15 years ago, but I haven’t heard of behaviour like this in a long time. You need to write a complaint to your government.
It’s people that don’t want to have to maintain things, which I understand. It’s trivial these days to host a forum with a cloud provider, or have a github, but Discord is one click. It’s not the ideal tool, but one click, no payment, and you have a place everyone can talk to each other.
Key word there is “for a time”.
Again, stop giving them devices that they have full control over. They either shouldn’t have a smartphone or they should have one that you control.
