This honestly looks like it was created by someone that’s never seen, let alone held a Tostitos Scoop in their life. The models don’t resemble the average Scoop at all.
Are they consistent? As a North American, I find it difficult to take EU/European countries’ stances on addiction seriously when they seem to be decades behind on reducing the prevalence of smoking and drinking, which almost certainly cause more practical harm than TikTok ever could.
> seem to be decades behind on reducing the prevalence of smoking and drinking,
the EU isn't a federal government. the UK, when it was in the EU did a full smoking inside ban, and tightened it after leaving.
It however had a massive problem with binge drinking and sorta didn't do much to stop that, apart from make it more expensive.
the netherlands has a smoking ban, but it was brought in later (I think). they had a different drinking culture so didn't have the same issues as the UK for drink.
That kind of issue is usually left to member states.
So social media is pure 'poison' with 0 positive impact but other addictive media like video games are tools with noble utility?
The World Health Organization has reached the exact opposite conclusion.
The ICD-11 doesn't include 'social media addiction.' It doesn’t exist clinically. What they did include is 'Gaming Disorder', classifying your 'sword' alongside substance abuse and gambling.
My point is governments could just as easily justify video game crack-downs with this same logic. Is that something we should be cheering on? Really?
IRC and Newsgroups definitely had that level of addiction going on. Just smaller population size due by technical friction that kept the general population away.
That’s not unique to PayPal. Pretty much any payment processor that detects a proprietor paying themselves is going to throw up a red flag for circular cash flow fraud and close the account. Bank-operated payment processors are often slower to catch it, but they will also boot you for this.
real payment processors also you just call on the phone and they fix it. That's not a real problem. we do test orders on many go lives per year and never see this. Yes there are sandboxes, but you always gotta test real transactions by the end.
My bank displays me a popup warning me to check who I'm sending money to every time I make a transfer. If I've made that same transfer before, after showing that, it's also telling me that it won't ask for 2FA for this transfer, because I've made it so many times before.
High quality or even medium quality software and UX is getting harder and harder to find.
I worked in some of the best kitchens on the planet and for every hipster with a blue paper #2 carbon steel hand made japanese chefs knife there was an old gray beard with a row of old busted victorinoxes hanging on the wall. Both of these cooks would filet a halibut beautifully.
MRI and other radiology suites use lead glass windows, which are incredibly thick and tinted dark-yellowish-orange. Visibility through them is okay, but not great.
MRI windows aren't leaded, that would do nothing for RF or magnetic interference. MRI windows contain copper mesh and are designed to integrate with the rest of the Faraday cage to both keep the RF generated by the machine in the room, and keep external radiation away from the sensors. Also keep the acoustic noise in the room.
This also doesn't do anything against the (static) magnetic field, which is really hard to block except with material like steel, which don't make very good windows. Newer machines have a counter-magnet to redirect the field to extend less far from the machine.
Plex does operate a few services that 'free' (or any) streaming may rely on depending on circumstances. Aside from auth, Plex clients that aren't able to discover the server instance locally rely on a Plex-hosted webservice to enumerate available servers. Additionally, there is a client-side config option that allows low resolution streams (720p is the ceiling, I believe) to be proxied via Plex's infrastructure. This setting is referred to as 'indirect connection', if I recall correctly.
They also provide the HTTPS certificate allowing for secure communication, along with the DNS infrastructure for that.
That is, your host gets a DNS entry along the lines of 1.2.3.4.something.plex.com, where 1.2.3.4 is your Plex server's public IP, and they have a deal with a cert issuer so they can get valid certs for that hostname.
edit: It's Let's Encrypt these days[1], was sure it wasn't that when it started, but it's been a while.
