I hear what you are saying. But as a parent myself I let my kid get familiar with tech. I think it's far easier to know it early and keep going with it. So he watches dumb shorts on YouTube. Or is on discord to game with his friends. But he doesn't do it at school and when it's time to put the phone away he does. I don't think he's addicted to it. I don't think it's that harmful. Anymore than any other thing.

What leads me to the egg comparison is that it's back and forth on if it's good or bad. Depending on who is measuring or what they are measuring.

I feel like we are talking about cholesterol in eggs again.

No that isn't what they said. They said they can be at a computer all day when I said you can limit the amount of time. They also said all smartphones can access the Internet, when you can in fact limit their Internet in every way possible including what they download to even try and circumvent the limitations. I don't see how anything they said is close to what I said.

This is false information. You can limit what apps they have with safeguards with many different services. Google family, Samsung family share and Microsoft family all have limited app options where you can let through whatever you think is good enough. You can also only allow a certain amount of hours for each app on a daily basis. There are so many safeguards if you look it's not difficult.

It's where the money is. Simple.

I'm guessing it can be found on YouTube?

My sister and I did this intentionally to be funny as kids. We took my son there last year and he did the same thing without hearing the story. Pretty funny for me.

Then I will "forever" not buy anything from them

It's solid. I game all the time on it. I don't do much else on my home PC. Watch videos and movies. It's solid enough that I have abandoned Windows completely. I still deal with it with my work laptop, but I don't give a shit. It's not my money there.

With small hands even

As someone who has had identity theft happen and hired lawyers to fix it, I'm going to trust those close to the case. My information was definitely compromised. And what won in court? The dumbasses put a location I have never been to. Which was why it was overturned.

I do hear what you say and agree with the fundamentals of your explanation. But my experience has shown that with even your location it can cost you thousands.

Well that's because identify theft is based on WHERE you live. So VPNs mitigate that information. I am not saying it will stop all, but it helps. And it's my choice. Not some corporations.
