What happens when a school bans smartphones? A complete transformation | US education | The Guardian
  • Apple screen time parental Controls were created because third party software was using MDM which Apple didn’t like. If Apple can lock down a phone with mdm for companies to give to their employees why exactly do you think software built into the OS is easy to get around like net nanny?

    Googling found an article about getting around it.

    Nothing on there an 8 year old would do and there’s directions on how to prevent any of it. You can lock down changing system settings or even stop them from editing their contacts.

  • We got an iPhone for my niece who is 8. It’s locked down so all she can do is text, call, and take pictures/video and she can’t contact anyone not in her contacts list. She has some games but can’t use them for more than an hour per day and they won’t open during school hours.

    A big issue is parents not bothering to learn how to use and set up parental controls.

  • Which email provider?
  • I can’t suggest anyone because I use gsuite legacy but in 2022 when they were going to stupidly start charging for something they said would be free forever people put together a spreadsheet comparing providers. Might be out of date for some but might be helpful.

    Here is the Reddit thread for it and Here’s a direct link to the spreadsheet

  • I don't know how to deal with what to me is a thin skinned and gossip coworker.
  • My mother is like this. She will never be happy and is addicted to being a victim. My mother actually pulled the victim card during Covid because her work was paying her to not work but she had to call every morning in case they needed her. She said it was worse having to call in the morning rather than work so was basically a victim because she got free paid time off while lots of people had lost all of their income.

    Nothing you do will make this woman happy. Don’t try and be more friendly to her because it doesn’t matter. Better to act disinterested in everything she says and don’t answer personal questions she can twist and gossip about to other people.

  • Is it time for 6G already? Traffic analysis says yep
  • Every "unlimited" mobile plan I've heard of has fine print that says it slows to a crawl after some amount. I don't know if the real limits are different in practice, so I was asking about that.

    These days you just get “deprioritized” instead of a hard throttle on most unlimited plans after reaching the amount. Deprioritized means the network treats your data as less important so if the tower gets congested it’ll slow down otherwise it’s still full speed.

  • Hong Kong minister says disapproving stares from public will discourage smokers
    www.abc.net.au Hong Kong urges public to dissuade smokers with disapproving stares

    Hong Kong's health secretary says the territory could build a non-smoking culture if "everyone stares in disapproval" at people who light up where they shouldn't.
