It is not wild in their eyes, they need to find a way to justify it after all.
But I think that this way they are opening the door to the possibility to be sued or to be considered responsable for what is on the play store. It is not a stretch to go from “I need to verify your identity” to “you are responsible for what you accept to put on the store”. They want control, they will get even responsability.
As do many people, but there are plenty others who will see this as being punished for doing the right thing, and will be less inclined to do so going forward
Maybe, but I am more optimistic about that.
And what would be the point of doing it right in future.
I do the right thing because it is the right thing and not because I expect something in return. Then I may contest the law because it is stupid or I can follow it to the letter to show how stupid it is.
In the end people that do the right thing will continue, like parents who don’t give a damn will continue to don’t give a damn about it.
True, but in my opinion social media are not seen as dangerous by a large part of the population, so nobody think that they should teach kids to protect themselves from them.
Personally, I’m of the view that a blanket ban is simply not going to work, and comes with all the same problems of the online safety act, mostly that the government, or the companies they employ to verify ages, simply cannot be trusted with that information.
Government already has your informations, problem are the companies. But in the end I think that the only viable option to have some sort of decent check is that the company try to verify the age with the government, which only answer yes|no.
If control needs to be implemented, it should be in having mandatory parental control options, but ultimately I believe it to be the job of the parents to utilise them, not the government.
Parental control failed time and again. In the end the problem are not the kids who follow what the parents say, but the others. And nowadays it seems that parents, first and foremost, are more than happy to let social media to keep their kid occupied.
On the other hand everyone think that social media are dangerous for the children so something need to be done.
I am afraid that you cannot have children protection without some sort of control
When people say this, I always think about how we ID for alcohol. If it’s the parents responsibility, they should never let their kid be able to go to the store to buy alcohol in the first place. The store shouldn’t have to ID people. Except most people don’t make this argument. I suppose if you agree with that statement, then you’d be consistent.
One could argue that kids can go to shops that sell also alcohol, but I can get the logic.
Problem is that a parent cannot check on their kids 24/7, so maybe having a check other than the parent could be a good idea.
Stores should absolutely check for ID since there is no way for them to verify that the parents did their job.
No, but it would be fun to sue everyone with Smart Glasses since they have not your permission to film you.
Wait to see that they discover that you don’t need a 3d printer to build a 3d printer…
The problem with this is that you need to alter the model printed. One thing is to print some yellow dots on a paper, another thing is to print some 3d marker in a model that you know nothing about with the risk to print a defective piece.
And anyway it should be done at the slicer level, the printer still only know that it need to rotate that motor for x steps, nothing else, it has no way to know what the next instruction would be.
Since the service Bambu Studio connects to isn’t required to run the software, their claim that keeping the service proprietary doesn’t violate the AGPL might be valid after all.
I think you misread something. The point seems to be that to be able to use your printer you need to connect to their cloud in any case. And this happened after a firmare update.
It’s like setting up a website with a user login, and if someone puts in “admin” in the username field without a password, the system says “sounds good” and lets you in. And then the website owners getting mad that someone hacked their system.
Blatant incompetence. I can’t believe they’re using their stupidity as an argument.
You are right, but technically speaking it would be a crime anyway. It is not that if you leave your door open then entering without permissione is not a crime.
While Bambu Labs obviously is trying to implement some sort of subscribtion model, and they are doing it in a bad faith way, for shitty as the authentication model is it is not an authorization to enter freely.
I hope when he gives his lecture, the students egg him on.
It would be a lot more impressive if everyone just stand up and walk away.
Probably to try to get some money in sponsorship. Or because they think these are the really smart guys.
I have literally in the thousands of installations I’ve done, literally never once put any genuine information in there. Who does? Why would anyone?
Private user ? Probably nobody, I agree. Commercial users ? Probably everyone, it is somewhat mandated.
Why would they need money? And exchange for their upkeep labor to get to live in luxury with their families the rest of the time.
Because not everything could be done this way. There is only so much you can do with this kind of “barter”.
So vitamin C is bad for you now?
Everything is bad for you, it only depends on the dose and conditions.
Maybe, but at this point the few oligarchs would be parias in their own home.
And it would be easy to eliminate them.
Do you realize that this way the volume of the business would be a lot smaller, right ? And being rich means nothing is you have not a use for your money.
You make AI and robotics to take care of everything you need, good, now think who pay, what it is needed and who would do the work for keeping the AI and robots in a working status. Hint: not the few common people that at this point have no money for anything else that some food, if any, since you automated everything.
It would be better for stability, the environment, and their view if the bulk of us died out.
If the bulk of us died out, being rich means nothing, and they know it.
Maybe, but it is better to try to fix a problem that exist than doing nothing hoping to fix the cause.
What would you suggest as “solutions that actually matter” ?
