They break stuff anyway and 'screen time' is bad for their development. Get them nice cheap dumbphones instead. Then 'apps' won't be an issue anymore, they won't learn to be distracted by a phone, and they might even (shocking!!!) learn to be social and actually pay attention in class, do their homework, have real hobbies, be physically active, etc.
So you don't have email or a working telephone? You're making excuses based on '(in)convenience', not on 'need', just like most people. I'm sure if you think about it you'll find I'm right. If these 'groups' you mention want you to know information they'll get it to you.
Is the T2 chip really needed to implement a simple hardware disconnect?
No, but since it must be a totally proprietary ASIC, they threw in an analog switch, tied it's enable line to the state of the lid switch, and routed the microphone signal through the analog switch, then provide a 'MIC_OUT' pin to go to whatever handles audio.
Because ALL immigrants are 'young strong men lucky enough to pay for the fare', they're never mothers and children fleeing for their lives, or men with their wiife and children, who just want to get them away to safety
Nice strawman, did you take a class in how to build one or are you naturally talented?
All immigrants fleeing violence should just stay there instead, fight with sticks and rocks, and get their asses shot off by their government or the criminal gangs
Oh look it's another first-worlder sitting in his nice comfy safe house, commenting on how people in 3rd world countries should conduct their lives. Bug off.
FWIW that guy doesn't sound scared, he sounds like some jackass who (at the risk of sounding like some SJW) needs to 'check his first-world country citizen privilege', stop being a selfish dick, and think about what actually motivates people to want to come here (or anywhere where they're not in fear of their lives or living in poverty their whole lives).
You, on the other hand, are making me wonder if you're any better.
Well see you're only in the top 10%, therefore you're not 'The Rich', you have to be in the top 1%; they're the ones who are making out like bandits. Them and corporations. And probably Trump specifically.
You know, it's always really fucking easy for someone who lives in a nice, safe, first-world country, who makes a nice, tidy six-digit income, owns his own home, a couple cars, has nice things, new clothes, and is perfectly safe 24/7/365, as is his wife and kids, to say shit like "Stop letting outsiders in" and "Let the rest of the worlds population 'naturally' adjust to the local carrying capacity of those places". You've never had to struggle like these people have just to have enough to eat or a roof over their heads, you've never had to deal with a government that is so corrupt and/or disregarding of their own citizens human rights that they feel the need to leave for their own safety, or lived anywhere where violent criminal organizations threaten your life on a daily basis, or try to kidnap your children to turn into prostitutes or slaves or suicide bombers. No, you have precisely ZERO perspective on what it's like anywhere else in the world, and treat your willful ignorance like it's some sort of fucked-up virtue instead. You most likely don't even know what it's like for the homeless that exist (not LIVE, but EXIST, BARELY) in your area, and probably think they're just lazy or criminals on the run and should be erradicated "for public safety reasons" or somesuch shit. You need to shut the fuck up about things you know nothing about, you entitled son of a bitch.
Hey man, the lottery is my retirement plan, don't knock it. xD ..yeah, the so-called 'tax cuts' are more fucking bullshit. Only benefits the rich. I'm sitting down here in lower-middle-class land, and I haven't seen a dime more in my paychecks.
Yeah sure. 'Conservative' translates to 'drag us socio-politically back to about 1940' in this context. They want anyone who isn't lilly-white and male to be disenfranchised entirely, women and children to be considered 'property' to be done with as they will, and to pump whatever poisons they feel like into the biosphere, because their denial is so deep about anything climate or environment related, that they just refuse to accept that poison is poison, and that the Earth is a closed system. Oh, a nukes. They want more nukes, they want to nuke Russia, China, North Korea, possibly Japan (because we didn't get them all the first time) and anyone else who gets in their way, or that they decide they don't like. Right now it's a toss-up whether climate change, pandemic, or war will kill us all off first.
..and yeah you're right, it is 2020 Q4. Guess I just need it to get here sooner.:-(
I just can't wait for Trump to get BTFO of the Whitehouse for good, then maybe we can get these lying corporate fuckboi 'appointees' the fuck out the FCC and everywhere else, and inject some sanity back into things. How can even Republicans stand all this utter and complete bullshit? Republicans/Conservatives, you need to explain yourselves: how is it you can put up with the utter and complete falsehoods like this that are coming out of YOUR Administration?
What's the energy efficiency of an air compressor? What's the efficiency of the generator the compressed air drives later? What massive volume of space do you need as an air tank to make this even remotely practical? What pressure is necessary to make it practical, and how safe is it in reality to store massive amounts of compressed air at that pressure? Sounds incredibly lossy to me.
I'd mod you up but you're already at +5. You can't cherry-pick just 'diet' and make a correlation that holds water. Overall lifestyle factors greatly into this.
I believe there has been research showing that too much exposure to even TV, let alone computers and video games, in very young children, has negative effects on their development, am I right? That alone should be enough.
However I think it goes deeper than that. Some people seem to have children without actually thinking far enough and deep enough to fully grasp the awesome responsibility it represents; you're creating an entire new human being, and what that new human is exposed to as they grow will shape how they develop, both physically, mentally, and emotionally. Too many people, it seems, have children unthinkingly, and don't make the raising of that child a high enough priority. Using the TV or the computer as a babysitter is not a great idea. Letting schools or the State in effect raise your kid for you is avoiding your responsibility as a parent.
Yes, I know, I'm being very harsh here. But look around you at the world we're living in, and how many people, fucked-up in one way or another, are living in it. You can make the 'nature versus nurture' argument, but how someone is raised has a great bearing on what sort of adult they turn out to be, and no one can deny that.
IBM likely wants to accomplish the same thing Microsoft wants to do, which is to 'own' Linux, but they're taking a different track to that goal by buying Redhat outright, rather than subverting it like Microsoft is doing.
I don't want ANY machine deciding for me who is going to live or die, that must be MY decision and MY decision ALONE, which is one of the myriad reasons I'd never set foot into any so-called 'self-driving car'. Machines don't care about living things because they are incapable of distinguishing between living beings and inanimate objects. This is one of the many reasons the half-assed 'AI' being used is the wrong approach: mere 'machine learning' isn't good enough, it needs to be able to actually 'think', and we have no idea how that even works.

There are plenty of people who agree with me on any number of subjects, and I've never even heard of you. Bug off.
Fuck off, asshole. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Seriously, it's time to move on -- or just leave 'social media' behind. Facebook is a gigantic, cancerous tumor, and it needs to be allowed to die.
How much you want to bet you'll be locked out completely with no recourse?
estimating from the pictures of the boats and the riots in Greece and Italy
So in other words you're making assumptions. Gotcha.
How do you know the immigrants are not the people from the criminal gangs ?
How you you know they are? More assumptions, gotcha.
LOL. You're the one telling others what to do
Oh gee I'm just such a meanie, telling you people to stop being assholes. Gotcha.
Bugger off.

That'd be a much more productive use for the money.
Or just spend $25M solving the homelessness problem around your headquarters, Google.
