  • My daughter is 6 and allowed to, with limits. She used to make a whole thing of it when it was time to do other things, but doesn’t anymore, it’s fine. On the other hand, my nephews will scream about it, and they’re older than her. Every kid is different, so maybe they expect their kid to be on the worse end, or maybe they wanna focus on those motor skills before they get to use a console.

    The scissor thing might be explained by them only recently being allowed to use scissors. My daughter had a pair of plastic safety scissors for a good while, but not every kid is gonna do that.

    Him not knowing how to scroll isn’t weird without having used a screen, and he’s definitely not past some minimum screen time age.














  • Its likely what we’d get would be a tool to create a normal mod. The tool checks for their requirements and when satisfied, rips oblivion files and repackages them.

    So a clean skyrim installed to create the mod with the tool, but once the tool is done, you could remove the clean install and use it like any other mod.

    This has been my experience with other “created from copyrighted works” overhauls, like rollercoaster tycoon for openrct2.


  • I used to work as tech support and can say that there isn’t.

    For instance, in some Asian countries the shutter sound is legally mandated. Apple accomplished this by checking where you are. If the phone’s region is one of those areas, It’ll always make a shutter sound. If your region wasn’t one of those areas, and the phone could still tell it was in the area (like a UK phone taken on vacation) It’ll make the sound while it was there.

    There’s a bunch of ways to implement that, but the employee-facing article detailing this feature specified that a user who was from one of those countries but moved here could factory restore the phone to get it unregulated again.it had employees who were asked to do that to verify they weren’t in the original country anymore as a “cover your ass” legal disclaimer kind of thing.

    This was multiple iPhone generations ago, now, but I doubt they’ve changed. Economies of scale say having one process is easier.





  • Hypothetically, yes, but during covid was when a company had to truly learn the work-at-home model. Some succeeded, some failed, but the reality is it was an excuse not to try. Automated is cheaper, and laying off employees because a pandemic has closed doors is a great excuse.

    “I’m sorry, due to an abundance of caution we are unwilling to reopen the offices and do not have the infrastructure to have you work securely from home, so we’re going to have to furlough everyone until further notice”

    Then they have a month testing the automated system and hit “good enough” by their standards so then they say the furlough becomes a layoff and everyone loses.
