There also were more than two PC platforms (and we barely have two now; Apple was pretty close to going away too). I miss being the Atari ST guy in a circle of people who all had different types of computers. It didn’t last very long but it was way more fun.

Yeah on mobile I think it’s okay. Still a bit overloaded but a far cry from what Japanese web pages can be like on desktop browsers. Sometimes they’re like web design stopped in 1999 and since then all they did was add more blinky banners around the actual content.
That’s fine. All I’m saying is that the article claims that their stance is an eight year old can waive rights, while also claiming indirectly that the mother waived the rights too. Because it says that she placed parental controls on the account, which in the case of Roblox means she made an account for herself and agreed to the same terms.
I have no idea whether the terms are enforceable or not. I’m only commenting on the article sensationalizing by making it look like the company says the 8 year old agreeing to their terms is enough.
Although maybe one thing to add could be that the child could not have gotten access to chat either without the mother enabling it for her. The article makes it sound like children are immediately exposed to all sorts of things on Roblox but the reality is unverified accounts are heavily restricted, and for a child, the restrictions have to be disabled by a parent.
Is it their stance? The article says the mother “placed parental controls” on the child’s account. This means the mother had an account too and agreed to the terms as well.
Do you know if the microphone can be disabled? Or the features that use it? Basically I’d want glasses like these that primarily react to inputs I make on my phone or show things the phone can figure out based on my location etc. I’d want to be 100% certain no audio is being recorded or even uploaded to a translation service.
The bot argument is valid but the OS X thing could just be because most browsers on macOS report “Mac OS X” in the User-Agent string for compatibility (and 10.15 as the version regardless of the actual OS version, for privacy reasons).
There are smart glasses without camera that can do translation. So there are some options.
I think not understanding what they're committing is more dangerous than before
This kind of reasoning applies to every new tool. 20 years ago I was saying the same thing about work from co-workers who started programming on Java and didn’t understand what their beloved HashMap actually does under the hood.
Eventually we adapt to either the new tools or to the new dangers, the ones who don’t just become fossils.
I always thought security questions were dangerous, but I did in fact not know that quizzes that exploit them exist in the wild.
I thought the (former) VP in charge of it left for OpenAI not long ago.
