Ah, and you'll trust your 9 year old to not talk to strangers online. Many such cases.

Internet is a wild west, without parental control where your 9 yo can go your kid is a click away from something that may disturb them for life. And it's your responsibility to protect them before at least they hit puberty. Don't fuckin trust your 9 yo to not go places on the internet, that's insane. That's just taking off the responsibility off your shoulders.

Why would kids be playing on the street? What the hell.

You're implying a 9 year old is mature to be online. Or that you're never too young for certain things. As if children know what they're doing.

Also, seems like you don't know a difference between sheltered life and raising your children responsibly.

Ah, you're right. Kid got in contact with predators under parents' supervision.

But seriously, give me your opinion, why this is apple's fault and not parents'? I'm really curious.

Giving full, unattended access to the internet to a 9 year old? Absolutely nothing. Parents should get a noble prize equivalent for solving "spend more time with your kid" problem.

Feels like people don't care about privacy that much. Last time I told my exgf about CCTV cameras in public places and how they shouldn't be connected to a network but rather have internal storage to fit a reasonable length of recordings. Since, live CCTVs never prevent any criminal activity and they possess great threat of surveillance by state or bad actors who may get access to them.

So, she called me paranoid.

Just tested 60 minutes timer. Works as advertised, didn't skip a second. Not sure if it's as reliable for longer timers. Need more testing.

Didn't know cats are lactose intolerant. When we had kittens we would always give them fresh cow milk...
