Guess they thought singing about something could go wrong in the future. Looks like they were right to me!

yeah it's true, but anker has been having a lot of recalls lately. And when the product costs 1/5 the price on aliexpress/baba then it might be worth it for some things.

uhhh... so the logic here is that if regulation isn't even an option then.... what exactly? What's better, wearing a helmet so your head doesn't get broken in, but leave your arms and legs uncovered, or just not wearing any protection at all?

In Colorado five guys is king as well. And I completely agree. More value for your money and the fries are much better.

OK so now imagine 4 things you’re doing and they take up the width of one monitor each. Ok, now expand that to a different metaphor. Imagine your kitchen, but you only have enough counter space for just the cutting board. Anytime you need to put something in a pan you have to hold the cutting board in one hand and pull a pan out and then put whatever is on the cutting board onto the pan, etc. Imagine cooking an entire meal like this. It would be a nightmare.

If you’re working on one thing, and that one thing requires referencing several different things, then having to juggle them rather than just look to a different monitor slows you down significantly. I don’t think you necessarily need 8 monitors, that sounds like a neck injury waiting to happen, but 2-4 is almost necessary in any workplace or even playing video games at home (game wiki on one screen, game on the other).

Regulation prevents that. You can’t regulate decentralized currencies, meaning you have zero protection 100% of the time.

She’s also done a bunch of good things for the world. Very hard to measure net negative or positive with her. Unlike trump himself.

I very much doubt it has anything to do with being a citizen. The law would apply to the company making the statements itself.

You didn’t read the second sentence of that quote.

I learned the other day that anker just rebrands/white-labels alibaba level products.

According to Ofcom, platforms must not host, share or permit content encouraging use of VPNs to get around age checks.

The government told the BBC under the Online Safety Act, it will be illegal for platforms to do this.

Ofcom is the regulator so I’m guessing they read the law a little more closely than you. And BBC states that the government explicitly told them it would be illegal.

Not who you’re responding to but techlinked called out that it’s illegal as well and showed the legislation text in their video. But if you’re not implementing the ID check in the first place then mentioning vpns doesn’t matter at all. I can’t even get your link to load.
