  • Pornhub says UK visitors down 77% since age checks came in

  • It doesn't. The website would ask for an id check, you would generate it on the processor side and give the randomized ID to the site so it could go check it's valid and let you through. It can be used to verify an account permanently but without one, it would kinda act like a temporary 2FA code.

  • The fuck does it even need a subscription for, anyway? Is it not hosting the videos locally? Fuck that.

    "It" being a "Doorbell with a subscription", from the message you directly replied to. In a thread about a video doorbell from Aldi.

  • In general yes, but that's also how you easily end up on sites like insecam and shodan.

  • Local hosting for a security camera is a rather terrible idea, because it can be defeated by stealing or breaking the camera.

  • How would you propose I prove to you at a reasonable certainty that I am an adult, without showing you my ID, or showing it to someone else you trust to tell the truth?And also somehow prove that the ID I gave was not fake without the government that issued it telling you that it's genuine?

    Well, I actually could do it because I'm old enough that most of my accounts are already over 18 years old, but I don't think requiring every new Pornhub user to wait 18 years is a reasonable solution.

  • If there is exactly one global service that does all the checks for every single internet user, which every single website uses, and the information going through them is always known, then sure, they could certainly block stuff.But it's quite clear by now "we aren't going to implement age verification on the internet" isn't going to happen, that verification is going to be implemented eventually, and in the rather near future. And places like the UK and many US states are extremely unlike to roll back the already implemented solutions.So the question now is how it can be done with the least amount of invasion to privacy, and crucially, without the website needing your actual ID.

  • The way EU is planning on implementing it is seemingly rather okay on the privacy side.Basic idea is that instead of sending your actual ID to every random shady website, which is fucking stupid and you should never ever do, you verify your ID once to a trusted processor, and the websites only receive a simple "Is adult: yes/no" answer connected to a randomised ID from them.

    Combine that with one additional hop between the website and processor and you eliminate the processor even knowing what websites you requested the check for, and therefore the risk of a data leak is minimal.

  • Cruise passenger, 80, found dead after being abandoned on Great Barrier Reef island - ABC News

    Jump

  • In this case a headcount before leaving could kinda have been feasible as the ship only had 120 passengers - often it isn't simply because modern cruise ships tend to be massive and have way too many passengers to keep track of - but from what I could understand they had an electronic system in place and for some reason she either wasn't marked as having left, or had somehow been mistakingly marked as returned.

    She was noticed as missing when they did do a "headcount", during the evening dinner.

  • Scientists demand cancer warnings on bacon and ham sold in UK

  • And fittingly, both of those categories are pretty much a perfectly overlapping venn diagram because they are so overarchingly vague.Drinking water can kill you, and if it's too hot, it causes cancer.

    Therefore "drinking water" is something that can be found it both lists. And so is "not drinking water".

  • It's also the worlds most addictive chemical, and alarmingly nobody addicted to dihydrogen monoxide has ever been able to overcome that addiction, every dihydrogen monoxide addict dies with a 100% certainty within a few weeks if they stop taking it.

  • Apple's ultra-thin iPhone flops as foldable iPad hits a crease

    Jump

  • Maybe people would want an ultra thin phone, but not when it has a giant tumour that makes it actually almost twice as thick as an iPhone 6.

    Someone should manufacture a 1mm thin phone by disassembling one and mounting the screen at a 90 degree angle to the rest of the components, as that's apparently how we measure "thickness" these days.
