Going to say Nope there....I know a lot of kids using discord, they do not have age checks in Australia.
Not sure who you have spoken to, but I don't know one single parent who wanted this. In fact most of them have said they will assist their kids to bypass it.
Well I should have worded it "A big reason the say they are banning it is Cyberbullying" , I don't believe that at all, but you are 100% correct, they hate big tech as it always beats our corrupt, biased and inept…
How long will it take them to ban communications ? A big reason they are pushing this is Cyberbullying....yet a recent death in the news this week, the kid was literally bullied/sextorted via SMS....not social media.…
The criticism is not that it wont be watertight, its that it will be ineffective in achieving what they say the reasoning is. 1. Kids are already moving to platforms that are not included in the ban, groups of friends…
My thoughts on this is there is very few things that will stop a sufficiently motivated teenager. I Know this as I have these conversations alot with my kids. They will work around it or go to whatever is out of scope…
It actually was pixel art, hand ( or rather mouse) crafted by the artist using a real picture for reference. I remember reading an article way back when where they interviewed her about the artwork. Amazing artist who I…
There is in depth information on its workings, on the website itself, in the newsgroups and in the podcast. If the author of the article were to look it would remove any "magic" of its workings. The author apparently…
Im guessing the author of this has somewhat of an issue with Steve Gibson and GRC, and has obviously spent some time mulling over how to write a very wordy and seemingly in-depth bashing of the their Spinrite software.…
That was a trip down memory lane. I loved the Amiga, I owned 3 of them at one stage, but ended up moving on after the collapse of Commodore. Still has a place in my nostalgic heart though
This is where I am headed this year too, in the bid to save money Ive got an agreement with the kids...1 video subscriber service only at a time, between Disney+, Netflix and Paramount+. We watch what we want to on one,…
Looks like he is getting out before the Sh!t hits the fan. As soon as they begin stopping password sharing im out and know many others that will follow. Its surprising the amount of people are only hanging onto it…
Well i did not see it as shallow, rather more of a succinct question.... but we all have different perspectives and views i guess.
I do see your point on this, though not sure if you can use that differentiation between human inspiration and what a computer is doing, we take a mental image and interpretation could be seen as metadata. Just because…
>>Their initial response was not lazy. Yes it was, it didn't consider what could have been meant and instead of asking they presumed the worse and attacked. Yes the initial comment was short, but also a very valid…
Much like your response, but yet you did it anyhow
My rather unpopular view is that if its available for humans to read on the internet, there is nothing different than a machine reading it, other than scale. There is nothing stopping a human from reading your code and…
In all honesty I get better prices and quicker delivery from Ebay than i would on Amazon on Black Friday....makes no difference to me at all
I Agree 100%....your social status really only depends on your ability to say yes everytime a relative, friend, friend of a friend and maybe a relative of a friend of a friend has a problem with [Insert anything that…
Well you haven't really state any benefit of traditional currency either....it can be given, taken, lost, stolen...and given the current world situation it is certainly not stable. Cryptocurrency has every benefit of…
You have consented to your friend having your data in his phonebook...it has nothing to do with Facebook. Its like saying that if your money is in a bank, and that bank gets robbed then the theives are responsible for…
While they are not as good as they could be, there have been many cases awarded against Telcos, ISP's, Banks and Energy providers. It can only operate within our laws though so I do agree they could be given more…
Its pretty simple really, Valve just need to get over its god complex and abide by a countries laws. Lets be honest, the Policy in Australia mandates that it must be "fit for purpose" and it pretty fair with its…
Lol...there are ALOT more buggy , unsecured devices on the internet that are made by companies with "professional" programmers. Look at the crappy DVR's and Webcams coming out of China, not to mention the buggy and…
Why not, you are using their "free" services, and if you would care to read every word of the user agreements then it lays out exactly what they information they "collect". What they "collect" and what they "know" are…
