That would assume dad has the time and energy for that. In a world where both parents need to be working in order to survive. Most people have no clue how any of the digital world works, but we somehow expect everyone to master it all when they have children?
Wild take, tbh.
I need to confirm my online purchases through my banking app. But I willingly dont connect my banking details anywhere.
I find it weird that payment details can be stored for one-click purchases later on. It is just so highly and easily abused.
We dont accept this kind of payment behavior at a store for obvious reasons, but online it is considered normal? I guess it maximises profits, which are important.
And when these carefully designed systems for low barrier purchases are abused by a child, all responsibility goes to the parent?
Wild how normalised this behavior is.
That the CC can be used without any form of validation seems to be a problem here.
If Google would just verify the security code or something, couldve easily claimed the user made a willing purchase in such case.
But removing such barriers is more profitable.
The guy you’re responding to has a valid point.
No way the son would get away with these actions at a physical store. “My dad was in here earlier, you saw him, i like to keep using his credit card tho, thanks”
Gee, I wonder why scamming is so huge after turning the digital market in to full “end-user responsibility” and tech companies removing carefully curated practices over the centuties for profit maximization.
Google earns billions of these scummy tactics to get users to spend as much as possible by removing any barriers of control and security. Why dont they get any of the responsibility?
Try to contact Google as a user.
How easy a company is to contact is very telling.
You can speak to someone at Google for sales within 5 minutes tho.
That this has upvotes is so telling, thank you.

The problem with the Epstein files is that it doesn’t just list Trump as a participant. That’s why he used it as a bluff that helped him get reelected.
The Democrat party didn’t release those files either and they won’t release them any more than the files already are until a whole lot of ancient influential fucks kick the bucket.
He and the rest of US oligarchy are making money hand over fist. Not like Trump actually gives a shit. He’s playing his voters, his opponents, us all. I shouldn’t be here driving this bullshit engagement but I’m bored, it’s all part of his grift.
US should let Seal Team 6 handle this new oil crisis like they handled Bin Laden. Just send the them to Putin’s Datscha and boom, Russia would retreat from Ukraine, Ukraine would stop hitting Russia. Problem solved.
By invading countries that have nothing to do with it, taking the better part of a decade doing so before finishing the task?
I dare to say that EU’s growing independence from the US is part of the hostile approach the US has walked for the past decade or so.
It didn’t start with Trump and didn’t stop under Biden.
The UK is just as big of a US influence risk to the EU and there’s talks of allowing them back in.
Canada basically borders the EU, I don’t see why not. The more the merrier. We will build our own NATO, with blackjack and hookers.
Every single time I see generic people voting (economic) right wing this Futurama scene comes to mind:
Nixon: Alright, listen up, nitwits. Who here is tired of illegal space aliens taking our good Earth jobs? [The crowd cheers.] Me too! So if I’m re-elected, I promise to big a really big Dyson fence across the Southern border of our solar system. [The crowd cheers.] And furthermore, by golly, I promise to cut taxes for the rich and use the poor as a cheap source of teeth for aquarium gravel!
Fry: Yeah, that’ll show those poor!
Leela: Why are you cheering, Fry? You’re not rich!
Fry: True. But someday I might be rich, and people like me better watch their step!
Indeed, new? I went to the US 15 years ago and it was normal to have this walking fossil greet you at walmart.
The ‘safeguards’ of AI are funny, as they are manually put in by humans on certain phrases and token triggers. By rephrasing it you trigger a whole new token chain that bypasses the known ones.
Or, you know, get any of the hundreds of models you can self host that don’t have any of the safeguards in place or can be broken.
In the end it matters very little. It actually kinda sounds like the the same kind of fear mongering when Google became useful in the 2000s.
Now everyone can find the Anarchist Cookbook! Why won’t anybody think of the children! Terrorism! Rabble, rabble rabble.
Are we going backwards? History is repeating, isn’t it or did I take the wrong pill.
Because I could do that with the Anarchist Cookbook over 2 decades ago as well.
Also for when you, for whatever reason, run out of physical memory.
Who here worries torturing their SSDs? Those things will last lifetimes compared to HDD’s of the past (or present).
It’s not for goods bought. Sony has the obligation to keep the purchase available for its users. For tax purposes, Sony needs to keep records for over 10 years in the Netherlands with “X purchased (or: rented) Y” regardless.
GDPR is not even relevant in this case.
Just Sony doing its Sony bastard stuff.
I have a console window open on my debian desktop that is eating 5.1gb.
That’s almost all just text in the tabs.
Stuff also just takes a lot of memory.
