If you are HN you know how to RTFM, I guess.

The Fix: Lock it Down:

Go to Settings > Screen Time.

Tap Turn On Screen Time (if not already on) and set it up for your child.

Tap Use Screen Time Passcode and create a passcode that the child doesn't know.

Go to Content & Privacy Restrictions (under Screen Time) and turn it on.

Tap Allowed Apps (to disable camera/other apps if needed) and Change Restrictions.

Under Content & Privacy Restrictions, find Date & Time Changes and set it to Don't Allow Changes or Require Password.

The problem with this is you’re creating a dichotomy. Some apps have good content that could be consumed indefinitely, which is beyond the scope of these controls.

Simplest example to point this out is if the parental controls only had things to limit phone usage generally without per app controls.

it's always interesting to me how our profession keeps reimplementing the same sort of thing over and over and over again. is it just inherent to the ease in which our experiments can be conducted?

I would expect an x-ray technician to limit their kid's time in x-rays.

It doesn't mean kids should never get an x-ray.

Sometimes moderation means complete abstinence but generally not.

You cannot be serious with this comparison.

YouTube Kids itself has a parental locked section where you can set a timer. The rest just don’t feel like they’re meant for kids at all. And that leaves adolescents in such a vulnerable spot.

The kids or non kids distinction is irrelevant. It’ll be clear once most of the world implements child block (which I personally disagree with). They’re gonna get decimated.

It’s not just about limiting - why don’t these people make it easier on the apps themselves to do it? We know why.

The schools were ever good? FL, and the entire US south, for that matter, have a long track record of poor K-12 performance.

A very common trope but performance basically is the same when you normalize for socioeconomics

The plate can still be easily read by a human, just not one of the Flock cameras.

This does not change that:

- The Switch is primarily a gaming device for entertainment purposes.

- The eShop overwhelmingly focuses on providing games for said entertainment purposes.

- It can be assumed that the overwhelming majority of people do not use the Switch, or expect to use the Switch, for general lifestyle purposes.

(That said, I wish we lived in a world where the eShop wasn't the only way to get digital games on the Switch, but phones have evolved to impact a large segment of the economy in many ways)

It’s sad how arbitrary people define things. Just make all types of digital stores support alternatives. Why are you even arguing about it lol… there’s no excuse to begin with.

Intentionally modifying a license plate in order to prevent it from being read?

The only thing I'm shocked about is that it hasn't wasn't illegal before.

websiteapi · 2 days ago
Exactly. I have no idea anyone would be surprised that modifying your license plate so it cannot be read would be illegal.

> Messing up other peoples stuff

The "jammer" is an adversarial pattern applied to the plate. The cameras are undamaged by it.

websiteapi · 2 days ago
Not relevant. Does it stop legitimate use cases like toll roads which use the same underlying tech?

Also, from the video the license plate is modified, which is illegal - it’s like modding your passport. As the video states…
