No, no, that's fine.

You've just testified before a court of law that there are no adverse health effects. Noted. You all stand by that statement, right?

Because then when the lawsuits start to fly, not only can you be charged with whatever charge it would be, we can add perjury to the list too.

Unfortunately, the parental controls are basically "on/off" measures, and schools and other places are increasingly expecting them to use AI tools.

And though parental supervision is THE TOOL, it doesn't apply when they're walking to and from school, on someone else's phone, or even using a laptop in a playground. Trust me. I know.

And then the AI tools are entirely lacking ANY KIND of parental control in themselves.

It's like telling everyone that they have to use 4chan for their homework, and then being shocked that they run into things they shouldn't.

Don't make / allow kids to use unsuitable tools, and AI companies should be offering a "child-safe" AI that simply isn't trained and can't discuss anything it shouldn't be able to discuss with a child unsupervised.

But, no, their solution is "we'll just check if you're 18 using the very tool that's already terrible and determining whether it should discuss ways to kill yourself or not".

Even solar LiFePO4 setups come with built-in heaters in the batteries nowadays.

This is a non-issue. Of course you use more power when it's cold and you're trying to heat things up, this isn't rocket science.

So buy a car that has a capacity greater than your maximum range, especially if you're buying for business for becoming reliant on it. They're not hard to find. In fact, when EV shopping for just standard personal models of car, I see Long Range / Extended Battery options on everything, and even the lowest battery is higher than the nonsense cited in this article.

If only, with the announced phase-out of fossil fuel for vehicular use almost worldwide, there were some places we have which won't be used so much anymore which could be used to host electric chargers in the same location so that, in the near future, people won't have to go further than they currently go to refuel / recharge...
