age restrictions done properly (ie securely and privately) are long overdue.
This does not exist.
It is claimed to exist, but you can’t name a single technology that guarantees security and privacy from the user to the source of the verification.
Are you willing to trust pornhub with your personal information? Xhamster? Kink.com? Motherless? Draft porn? PervertTube? And on, and on, and on.
You trust that every, single, individual, porn site is going to have both the know how, and scruples, to keep this data 100% secure and private?
Because I don’t even trust that a site can keep my credit card information private and secure, as has been shown to be a good bet over and over again despite there being a plethora of laws on how to handle such information.
I can’t think of the proper words so I apologize for how untechnical this is: If you look inside the connector you’ll see a thin line jutting out. That’s the actual thing that USB-C connects with. You can’t make that round. The reason the outer part of the plug is an “oval” is just to make plugging it in easier. It could be a rectangle and still work.
Flagged for investigation. Not necessarily for any specific thing, but exfiltrating data is a huge no no in many industries, and at many past employers of mine was a terminable offense, even if it was innocent.
Let’s be honest here, the US likely has comprehensive plans for invading every country, including multiple backups to account for different contingencies.
The concerning part here is that someone in a top position is just casually talking about it.
I mean, I kinda understand where they are coming from. I don’t agree with their implementation though.
Why add this? Public/unsecured/shared wifi. The moment someone is on the same network, they had full access to the printer. Yeah, technically the fault of the end user, but I can understand them not wanting the potential hate for it.
But in reality, all they needed to do was add a proper local API with full access behind a login/token system. It would suck in the short term as all previous tools would break, but it would solve both problems.
6GHz compatible devices are already being sold. If your phone is new-ish it likely supports it, and many routers already have it.
This isn’t a “next gen” problem, it’s a “current gen bleeding edge” problem.
