I am agreeing with you mostly, except that I am also happy for the domain controller to store the age info, rather than being strictly local.

The most important thing is that its the device owner doing the verification, not any external third party.

If it were managed by Kerberos or domain policy I’d be okay with it, but the critical thing is that it’s managed by the system administrator. That let’s parents do parent things, and the rest of us can safely lie.

Thanks, I suck at reading clearly.

Bit hard to tell if this is every night, but that sounds super annoying. Bet it confuses the wildlife a lot as well.

Personally, I think this is the best solution, sysadmin controlled birth date. Want your kids to access everything, make their accounts 99. Want your kids protected, limit them to their real age or lower.

The slippery slop argument is a concern, but as long as it’s system admin controlled, that’s a win in my book for privacy and the “save the kids” crowd.

Are you sure it geolocates your IP? I get a pretty wide variety of photos from around the world, it’s definitely not anything near me?

I think I have location services disabled though.

Deviantart is an interesting image host, was definitely a risky click :D

Mass surveillance is bad, but they only removed the birthrate, not all the other PII…

A different angle of this was the w11 picture recently I think? Looks really cool.

I know nothing of your experience, but this sounds like a pretty funny story you’ll be able to tell and laugh about later.

Reminds me of this:

No one over 16 wants to either.

Of course, if they know the rationale, the morale may tank.

Added the urls, because it was a little non trivial to find them. Zbar was showing steel rebar as the first hits…

Network scan your workplace network. I wouldn’t recommend it for a proper IT managed network, but this is clearly a much looser situation.

Install zenmap, and do a scan of the network. Look for a device that looks like a NAS, and then you’ll be able to use its address to connect to it.

Manually connecting to it will depend on your file manager, but it’s a quick google away once you find the NAS address.

In case you want an alternative:

The qchq in the url isn’t a coincidence, this was created by the British spy agency. It is used fairly commonly amongst cyber security folk, so its been fairly well vetted that its not uploading stuff to their cloud, but you can always load the page, disconnect your network and do what you want with it if you want to be paranoid.

Not to mention the traditional crowd (Lockheed, Boeing etc)

Nvidia has a lot to learn, GPUs are buy once, cry once. Munitions are disposable, and need to be replaced. When nvidia manages to fit a H100 in the body of a missile, the real money printing begins :)

I’m gonna interpret that as you are hung like a whale, and the footpath isn’t large enough. Congrats!

~$570 per person. And that’s the starting amount, it’ll go up.
