Right, Google still allows some kind of freedom by allowing you to sideload the apk, while still doing the right thing and removing this abominations their store. Win win. Apple sucks (imho).
True that continents are defined differently in different parts of the world. In Europe, there's America and Oceania as continents. In "America", America is a country, and so is Africa :p
(jokes aside, it's true that in the USA continents are defined differently than Europe, for example. There's North America & South America as separate continents, and yes, Australia as a continent).
Children have parents (or otherwise adult guardians) that are responsible to keep them safe, online and offline. It is their job to keep them safe. Adults, on the other hand, have freedoms granted to them by the constitution, at least in the USA, and I kind of enjoy those freedoms.
I guess I agree with the judge here, face scans (or other verification measures) are pretty invasive.
I guess it's worth it for me, also I haven't seen nearly as much as 500% for the exact same item (possibly for "similar" items but I can already tell the quality). And I'd rather not deal with companies like temu. Anyways, good for you if it works for you.
Never tried temu (likely never will) but I'd be careful, it looks a lot like chinese spyware-like ... I'd happily pay a little more and get stuff on Amazon, or other stores (brick-and-mortar included) rather than dealing with temu.
I'd pay dropshipping fees just to get Amazon's no-questions-asked full refunds if anything goes wrong, including delays, broken or incorrect items, or just poor quality (and of course, those two days free shipping with prime if you have that). Amazon, in my experience, always rectified any issue promptly. Those other ones ... well, you can try your luck, I guess.
You're speaking with current lithium battery technology in mind. Supposedly, scientists in the article figured out a new technology that can be charged in 6 minutes. No word on whether it's still necessary to slow down at the end, or charging efficiency. Time will tell I guess
Alright, so let's assume a 100kWh battery like some tesla models. Now, someone made such a battery that can be charged in 6 minutes... how much power does it need?
If at all. A lot of published science turns out not to be usable in real products, if not completely wrong. For starters, someone else should replicate the findings independently, to confirm them, then the manufacturing process needs to be scaled and the cost reduced, then ... someone will need to figure out how many MW this thing needs to charge in 6 minutes ...
Most clients would allow you to filter out what (or who) you personally didn't want to see, without having to censor it. Actually not a bad system: allows both freedom of speech and some kind of "moderation". The system could of course be improved, e.g. by having some default, mod-curated server-side filters that users could opt into, but people would still be allowed to see the whole uncensored content if desired.
Exceptions could be made for illegal content (e.g. pirated stuff), where it would be deleted server-side by the admins (illegal defined to be "in the jurisdiction where the data is stored").
