Are there graphic gore and violence websites that kids are frequenting by the millions daily?

Guess the people of Brazil will be losing access to social media platforms soon.

Yes, losing your things is your fault lol

There’s a pretty big difference between having a friend over for meals and weekends and hanging out, and that friend railing your wife.
You’ve spoken to your wife and she’s open to it? Red flag. Giant red flag. This wouldn’t end well for you.

Tried taking better care of your things? I’ve still got mine that came with my pixel 3 and my iPhone 11 Pro.

You’re going to plug in multiple headsets to your phone in regularly? You can’t just have a cheap dongle on those headsets’ cables?
Funny how almost everyone in here saying they need the 3.5mm jack also just happens to have a dozen pairs of headphones they use every day lol.

This would make sense if the only Bluetooth headphones that worked with the phone were made by the same company, but alas, that’s not how it works.
The reason they don’t have a headphone jack anymore is because it’s easier to make without it, saves money, has a built in replacement in BT, and people overwhelmingly love BT headphones due to being wireless.

Then you’re going to have to go and start your own phone company. Good luck to you, let us know when your phone comes out.

You can use your dozen wired headphones you already have with a $10 usb-c -> 3.5mm adapter.

Yeah no one should trust IP ratings on phones because unless they cover water damage in their warranty - which none do - the company doesn’t even trust their own IP rating.
I always shake my head when I read about people taking their phones in the shower, in the pool, etc. IP ratings degrade over time as well.

Bluetooth audio is good enough when you’re comparing it to phone headphone jacks. Phones aren’t audiophile devices. No one is going to notice the difference in sound.
A 3.5mm jack adapter is as unintrusive as can be - it just stays on your headphone cable.

Just get a cheap usb c -> 3.5mm adapter. Problem solved.
- Comment on Last year China generated almost 3 times as much solar power as the EU did, and it's close to overtaking all OECD countries put together (whose combined population is 1.38 billion people) 21 hours ago:
China are the worlds biggest coal producer and consumer, started building like 100GW of coal power plants last year alone, and are increasing their use of coal every single year.
People getting excited about china’s massive solar power generation are hilarious. Basically unless china stop using coal, the rest of the world being completely net-zero is irrelevant.
- Comment on Last year China generated almost 3 times as much solar power as the EU did, and it's close to overtaking all OECD countries put together (whose combined population is 1.38 billion people) 21 hours ago:
Coal is unreliable and dirty.
China use absurd amounts of coal and they’re not slowing down. They’re the worlds largest producer and consumer of coal. They’re increasing use of all power generation types - coal, solar, nuclear.
- Comment on Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not 22 hours ago:
Are you taking that as me saying that they “learn in the same way” as in…by using their eyes to see it and ears to listen to it? You seem to be reading waaaaay too much into a simple sentence. AI “learns” by consuming the content. People learn by consuming the content.
- Comment on Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not 2 days ago:
Not at all true. AI doesn’t just reproduce content it was trained on on demand.
- Comment on Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not 2 days ago:
Your very first statement calling my basis for my argument incorrect is incorrect lol.
LLMs “learn” things from the content they consume. They don’t just take the content in wholesale and keep it there to regurgitate on command.
On your last part, unless someone uses AI to recreate the tone etc of a best selling author *and then markets their book/writing as being from said best selling author, and doesn’t use trademarked characters etc, there’s no issue. You can’t copyright a style of writing.
- Comment on Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not 2 days ago:
You can “use” them to learn from, just like “AI” can.
What exactly do you think AI does when it “learns” from a book, for example? Do you think it will just spit out the entire book if you ask it to?
- Comment on Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not 2 days ago:
Makes sense. AI can “learn” from and “read” a book in the same way a person can and does, as long as it is acquired legally. AI doesn’t reproduce a work that it “learns” from, so why would it be illegal?
Some people just see “AI” and want everything about it outlawed basically. If you put some information out into the public, you don’t get to decide who does and doesn’t consume and learn from it. If a machine can replicate your writing style because it could identify certain patterns, words, sentence structure, etc then as long as it’s not pretending to create things attributed to you, there’s no issue.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 3 days ago:
Six of Trump’s cabinet secretaries authored or contributed to Project 2025.
That doesn’t mean that Project 2025 is being followed. It’s not. It’s not Trumps plan.
Your claim wasn’t that those 6 people contributed to Project 2025, it’s that Project 2025 was this governments plan.
- Comment on If one were so inclined, could you take your plot of land, parcel it up into 1-meter-squared (or smaller) sections, and sell each of those sections to different people/companies? 4 days ago:
That’s basically subdividing, and no you can’t just do that to your hearts content. You need to get council etc sign off, new plots drawn up, etc.
- Comment on If you were (falsely) accused of murder, but you have records of your phone at home with youtube videos being played, can you submit those records as a sort of Alibi to exonerate you? 4 days ago:
Not unless you can prove that it was you that was watching those videos, no.

You didn’t prove anything lol. You linked to a far-left biased site.

It definitely can be. This person didn’t have the data anywhere else, so they didn’t have a backup. I use cloud storage as one of my backups.
- Comment on Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny 5 days ago:
Hiring someone over someone else purely because of their race or sex is discrimination, racism, and/or sexism.
It sounds to me like you’re talking about jobs that illegal immigrants do, especially once you brought up cheap labor. Jobs like those don’t have diversity quotas, because they almost entirely hire from the “diversity” pool.

Mate honestly you’ve been talking jibber jabber “I am so smart” type waffle in every single post. You still haven’t given actual examples of what you’re talking about, what it would look like, or how it would be done.
I’ll give you one more reply and if you post yet another hundred words that say nothing, I’m out. What would this magical all data encompassing product look like to you? How would it work?
