They did this during the pandemic and parked the buses in lower-income areas to help kids who had to do school from home and didn’t have internet. There were a lot in my area and there were complaints because it wasn’t enough for everyone.
You can’t do nice things, everyone is going to complain no matter what.
For posterity purposes. Section 9&10 are missing from the site.
Section 9

My city isn’t in the left-hand list: Not surprised
My city isn’t in the right-hand list: Huh… good on us I guess.
If you go under the toggle, there are 2 sections with all of the apps listed in them, at least on my end there is.
See if selecting what apps helps. I’ve had it setup for a while, so I don’t remember if you need to opt-in a bunch of apps, or it defaults everything in, but you need to deselect.
What kind of hospital let him get near the room with that kind of metal around his neck? I’ve had to be in several hospitals recently for different imaging issues and every time the MRI is a thing I have to remove everything metal to go past a certain door (escorting my daughter and son for medical reasons). I don’t know who let him anywhere near the room with something that large.
Edit for Clarity: I’ve had to be the one removing all metal even though I’m not the one being scanned. For me to progress beyond a certain part of the hospital toward the MRI I needed to get rid of everything. My children were being scanned, not me. So, I’m not sure what hospital system allowed this man with a 9kg chain get this far deep into the imaging area.
Federal Colonoscopy in action:
I always knew lizardpeople were behind knitting. Thanks for the confirmation.
It’s called Digital Wellbeing now, but same idea.
You can also set “Screen Time Reminders” that pop up every 5 minutes to show you how long you’ve been in the app.
Also, in this same space, you can set App Limits and set a certain amount of time an app is available while using the screen. This is not counted if it’s in the background or the screen is off. So, if you have a limit on Youtube, but use it in the background to listen to podcasts or music it doesn’t count towards the limits.
I don’t know of any other app that provides the kind of basic functionality already built into the OS. Also, if they update to suddenly do something nefarious, you’ve given them admin permissions to know app usage, and draw over apps so they can show you the time. What else could they do with those permissions if you just update without reading fully?
Tech Giants working together? In this economy?
Do you know how much market share they’d have to actually share with using standardized systems to share information? Blasphemy.
I mean, that’s the point, right? The only way they can offer those “experiences” is to process your data. We need to get off the teat of convenience and learn to use the tools and want to put a little effort into things again. We’ve relied on them to just feed us the information in the way we want it for so long, we’ve forgotten how it got there originally. We can do it. It’s okay to take 5 minutes and put that info into Calendar. Learn how to formulate the searches to get your information, and alternatives to make sure you’ve covered your bases. READ THE BOOK/BLOG/EMAIL YOUR DAMN SELF and write a summary in your own words.

The way I’ve seen it is that Solar Panels of quality can last for 10 years. Electric cars also need less maintenance like oil changes, mufflers, etc. So, the thought of having a system where you don’t need to re-purchase or even talk to someone that would “fix” the thing for the better part of a decade is untenable. The same reason most things are going subscription service, even if one is not needed. They need to be constantly rolling in money, or they don’t feel whole.
Not my complaint. I wish we had local hotspots setup by the cities, but it gets constantly voted down. Shouldn’t take a pandemic to support people.
