I love this. My wife calls them “art projects”. It’s freeing. Yes you build ideas and abandoned them. But so does an artist. Enjoy the creation even if it doesn’t turn into a business.

And yes domain collecting is real.

That could be an "easy" fix where you could disable use of in-app browsers through Screen Time options.

I've meant to write a blog post about this, but here goes: In-app browsers allow users to view inappropriate content, often against the wishes of sensitive individuals. People especially at risk for this include addicts and children.

Nearly every app, even "safe apps" including children-rated apps, allow access to an in app browser. Even when iOs has locked down all access to Safari, a parent has removed access to all the "apparent" unsafe sites, there are still ways to access the unfiltered internet inside of these safe apps.

How? Usually buried in App Settings. Almost all apps use some instance of an in-app browser to (lazily) reference thier privacy policies, EULAs, or TOCs. A buried link leads to a homepage, leads to an instagram link, leads to an unfiltered internet. Yes they are long, inefficient paths to reach the internet, but curious (or motivated) individuals or children will use almost any app to reach the internet. Even boring apps like MS Teams or adding a Gmail account to iOS mail uses a secret in-app browser.

This obviously presents a problem: should developers restrict any and all app access to in-app browsers, or leave policing to individuals/parents? An easy approach is to disable the in-app browser functionality in iOs, but obviously with grave cost to developers. At the same time, at what cost is in-app browser functionality being implemented.

I have the reverse problem...I need to liberate my 600GB of photos from Dropbox into iCloud. Any reccomendations without downloading the entire thing to an external drive and re-uploading?

I think even more important to learn is how we "act" about money. Kids need to learn the psychology of money/finance as much as the knowledge about it. Just finished Morgan Housel's "Psychology of Money" and it should be required curriculum (every year) for high school and especially college students. When my kids are older, they are definitely reading it!

All: Family member recently diagnosed with Early Onset Alz Disease. Articles like this excite us and we desparately want treatments to work (including the hyperbaric chamber, stem cells, dietary changes, the works, etc), but can't help but think following these rabbit trails is only confirmation bias. Does anyone here know of any treatments that actually are worth exploring (ie have actually been studied, but not gained wide-spread adoption). I know this is a shot in the dark but appreciate any new research you could point me to.
