I was referring to the many people who support the idea, who are individuals with a whole set of motives, some of them no doubt malicious and sinister and others who sincerely (even if cluelessly) have the of protecting their children from evil, exactly as you personally have the goal of protecting everybody from the evil you personally see.

Good points, and well put!

The whole idea of age verification at the OS level is a foolish means to a well-intended goal.

The principle that Bullshit, sprayed around often enough, becomes Air Freshener.

LOL - verification? Yeah, I got your verification right here! Here’s your verification!

Just like it’s never really about FREEDOM™

Niiice.

When you look around at women I think the major difference between creepy vs not creepy is whether you’re furtively and ineffectively trying to hide it vs smiling and being open. If a woman notices you looking, to smile and maybe give a little nod before looking away is friendly. Fearfully glancing away and then sneakily looking back is creepy. And if she acknowledges your smile and nod with a smile and nod of her own, it might indicate a bit of interest. Or not. But you have to let go of the idea that you’re peeping out through the window blinds afraid of the world, and since this is bothering you so much I would strongly suggest looking into a little therapy.

I love how things like this develop a mystique. The KFC eleven herbs and spices, supposedly on a two-part list kept in separate vaults. The handwritten recipe for Coca-Cola, transported under heavy guard to a new vault in 2011. Donald Trump’s hair elixir formula, kept secret by Epstein until his prison cell suicide during a coincidental random camera malfunction. The list goes on…

Wrong. You can print in LAN mode, or use an SD card without even a wifi connection. Here, I googled it for you.

The need for a constant signal to scan movement is a good point. Makes sense that nearby wifi devices can’t just be sitting there, they have to be actively transmitting to the router or there’s no signal for the target to interfere with. I must have gotten CSI and wifi scanning confused. Tbh I’m not even sure why CSI is in the article except for history, but I found the principle fascinating. In your research did you turn the intererence into anything like a heat map of a person standing in the room, or is it more of a signal fingerprint, like chromatography or spectrography?

I can totally believe when it tracks a person it can tell when the same person walks by again later. But matching people with their actual identities would require a database of wifi scan data that simply doesn’t exist yet.

“Did” is an interesting word. If somebody dug a ditch I wouldn’t say the shovel “did” the grunt work.

…and on the plus side, can buy booze!

Yes, I just finished watching all of Phineas and Ferb with my 32-yo daughter. Also Hey Arnold until it got taken off whatever we were watching it on. But of course nothing beats SpongeBob.

Bingpot!

Clarification - these are management driven layoffs. AI doesn’t drive anything, managers replace people with it.

That’s connection history. CSI motion detection software storing information it collects would be entirely independent of that. How much it saves and for how long would depend on the size of the router’s memory.
