I would be happy to pay the media tax (Sweden) if it meant public service ran anti-troll factories on Xitter and TikTok.

No one in my family consumes any radio, TV or their online offerings.

let's say that you can only trust iPhone as "paradigm of safety" (lol)

Feel free to research the consensus opinion by cybersecurity professionals instead of just continously showing off your own ignorance.

what are your kids doing that need of the highest tier phone to guarantee the highest level of security

They, as human beings, have the right to their privacy.

You just answered my previous question; "Do you consider kids to be actual people?"; and the answer is apparently "no".

Btw, you don't get the newest high end iPhone for 900 EUR. You might want to get a lot more facts behind your arguments before trying to show off online.

I'm not sure a kid should be playing those. But hey, I guess pegi ratings are a lie...

Yeah. The US is the nanniest country on Earth and those ratings are indeed laughable.

Regarding your cybersec knowledge, the safest for regular consumers are iPhones.

You might want to ponder whether you know as much about the world as you think you do.

Easy. Security (I work in cybersec) and performance (kids like to game).

Do you consider kids to be actual people?

I think part of the issue here is that you believe that phones that cost 900 EUR really don't offer anything cheaper alternatives don't.

The norm where? European middle-class, absolutely.

You have strange opinions regarding kids. Compare the price to a mobile phone.

Nintendo can make sure their handheld has affordable hardware yet can play all their AAA games as they were meant to. Steam Deck can't ever have that luxury. Some Steam Deck makers will make expensive ones that can play most of them, some will make cheaper ones that aren't made for those games at all.

This is very difficult to explain to the casual buyer (think parents buying as a present for their kids).

Solar (and perhaps nuclear) to desalinate seawater and refill aquafiers as soon as we desalinate more than we use. This must be government financed projects, since groundwater is the very definition of tragedy of the commons.

This is why Bitcoin was invented.

No, really. We're discussing this on a decentralized technology because we know that centralized control is bad - and that applies to the technology of monetary transfers as well.

Too bad it was then mostly used for speculation instead of actually building up an internal economy where we wouldn't now have to care what itch.io's payment processors think.

For some reason DHL managed to get a null-string into their system a few years back, which meant that any DHL shipments to me - no matter what the seller had entered - had "null" as the receiver in the system.

Everything else was fine, address and tracking numbers sent to me etc - but I did have a few interesting discussions at pickup locations that wanted to see identification matching the name in the system ...

nycjournals.com seems to be an influence operation. The domain is a month old and the about section contains nothing that actually tells you anything about what's behind the site.

edit: That means this is likely a false story unless corroborated by another source.
