Are the instructions followed, though?

I think you may have got autocorrected, Obtainium is the name.

It seems many didn't even read the quoted part of the article. The $3 million payment is to one person. Yes, it's pennies to the giant companies, but this could open the door to thousands of similar lawsuits, quickly turning that cost into not just pennies.

I really like Quantic Dream's games. A little bit of action sprinkled in to a narrative-driven walking sim where your choices can impact the game really gets you emotionally connected. Their use of facial mocap really takes the immersion to the next level too.

I highly recommend all of Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, and Detroit: Become Human if that's the sort of games you enjoy.

Those second and third backups can really come in handy if something on the host blows up.

I've got my main PBS backups on an internal array on the host, secondary backups to an external HDD plugged into the host, then a third separate node (ThinkCentre mini-pc) backing up to a pair of HDDs I trade out monthly for an offsite copy.

I think it's important to consider not backing up media, etc that you can relatively easily re-obtain. Makes the storage requirements for redundant backups a fair bit more palatable.

I always gotta share Brian Lagerstrom when I can.

Here's a video with an 'everything dough'. Bread, baguette, pizza, bagels, pretzels can all be made with really simple ingredients.

Here's one for 'Grandma pizza', what OP reminded me of. Just a tasty sheet pan pizza topped with whatever combination of stuff you have available.

Ah yes, I'm sure there won't be any exploitative employment at any of these operations.

I feel like the tap pay would be what I miss most, but I saw someone suggest just getting a case that can hold your payment card, and it's essentially the same thing.

Yeah I unsmarted my TV and just threw Mint on an old laptop. FreeTube works great on there.

Easy now, henceforth is a pretty big word.

Or perhaps ban prediction markets altogether? The existence of them can preclude events, and is especially dangerous when such markets are in any way violent.

I'd really recommend the book The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. It addresses the exact thing that this policy is trying to tackle.

In short, regarding many of the comments already here, the current (but unenforced) internet 'age of consent' is 13, essentially the exact age where girls and boys are most vulnerable to developing addictive habits and where (in-person) social connection is most needed.

The "just parent your kids" argument falls flat, because kids will find a way around even the most savvy of digital parental controls.

The "f off govment" argument really doesn't help either. Should we eliminate minimum age requirements for the purchase of other addictive substances like tobacco, alcohol and marijuana? Of course not. Kids addicted to social media exhibit the same symptoms as those addicted to other things, and the health effects can be even more detrimental. Why should it be regulated any differently?

My biggest concern is how they're going to implement age verification, because there are many privacy-invasive wrong ways, but a few privacy respecting right ways as well.
