Honestly, I wouldn't be opposed to that either. If we're protecting kids, we should also protect the old and feeble. Old people, people with developmental handicaps, you name it: they're being exposed to a world that can and

Parental controls have been part of mobile devices for years, but so have bypasses. For instance, you can bypass Google's parental control settings by opening the help page in the Google settings and clicking links until you get to the

The authorities open letters all the time. Try sending a letter to prison without it getting scanned. The problem with this comparison is that the authorities can open a letter if they need to for various well-intended reasons, but they can

They're Americans trying to appeal to other Americans. Of course everything they do is justified and everything everyone else does is an evil scheme to plot the ruin of American freedoms. How else are you going to convince the dementia

I like the Taiwanese approach. Every receipt is a lottery ticket, so people have good reason to demand registered receipts.

The Wero system isn't just a rebrand of iDeal. It also includes a wallet app and the ability to transfer money between regular people, not just online checkout.

They don't want love, they want money. Tracking people is an effective way to make money. You can make some money with non-tracking ads, but these websites want more money than that. Good websites sharing stuff for the fun of it rarely

The "legitimate interest" bullshit is already illegal. I don't see why websites would stop doing illegal things because of this change.

Android has had multiple users for many years, though it's a feature most smart phone brands turn off for some reason. You can switch users just fine, you just cannot hide the primary user from the secondary user. Opening up the device

Modern Pixel phones have a TPM-like device that protects against brute-force attacks. Assuming the pattern is non-obvious, an attacker has 20 attempts before the supplementary key material is wiped and the encryption key is lost. It's

There's a neat project out there that can read your water meter into home assistant using an ESP32+camera+computer vision. I imagine a small TPU like this could be very useful for similar projects. More compute means higher resolutions

A "passkey" is a bunch of metadata and a public/private keypair. It doesn't do anything by itself, of course. A physical device, like a Yubikey or a Titan, doesn't have Bluetooth. For phones and tablets these keys d

Click the "lost password" button. Passkeys aren't magic, they're just a funky password. If the website didn't implement a "lost password" button then that says a lot more about the website than it says abo

Passkeys work just fine with Bitwarden, LastPass, KeepassXC, physical keys, several software tokens, and TPM storage. So far only Nintendo has been absolute assholes about requiring specific passkeys, but that's maybe the least assholi

They didn't like that the Dutch copyright law didn't apply outside of the Netherlands and tried to take back the documents with the "anyone visiting this page can be Dutch and therefore Dutch law still applies" argument.
