No. It did not. The only thing that was added was an OPTIONAL, EMPTY BY DEFAULT field in the userDB. To accompany fields called "Name", "Surname" and "Location". Want to fill it? Fill it. Don't want to fill it? Don't fill it. Or lie about it. Fuck cares. It's an OPTIONAL COLUMN IN YOUR LOCAL DATABASE. NOTHING MORE.
If or when distros start requiring you to fill your DoB - go ahead, be offended, go with pitchforks and boycott the distros.
Informal proof that for a prime p >=5, p²-1 must be a multiple of 24.
p²-1 = (p-1)(p+1)
p-1, p, p+1 are three consecutive integers. One of them must be divisible by 3 - and it can't be p, because p is prime. So either p-1 or p+1 is a multiple of 3.
Also, p is odd, so p-1 and p+1 are both even - and one or the other must be divisible by 4. One is a multiple of 2, the other of 4.
So the product of p-1 and p+1 has factors of 2, 3 and 4, and must be a multiple of 2*3*4 =24.

🤯 Amazing. Did not know this.

🚨 The FCC bans all routers made outside the U.S. — So basically all routers.
Most people buy a router and never think about it again. That box in the corner that handles every password and video call you make. The FCC is now worried that some of these devices are actually open doors for foreign governments. Shocked! 🫢
Regulators are looking at TP-Link to see if they pose a threat to national security. Recent reports show hackers used these devices to build massive botnets. You might find yourself shopping for new hardware if these bans take effect.
🧠 Regulators are weighing a ban on specific foreign routers.
⚡ Security experts found flaws that allow remote access.
🎓 This move follows previous restrictions on Chinese tech firms.
🔍 Check your hardware brand before the new rules arrive.

The third article in this (horrible) series of articles I've co-authored is now out. https://theconversation.com/a-million-new-spacex-satellites-will-destroy-the-night-sky-for-everyone-on-earth-277938
A million satellites of the size required for "AI data centers" would mean that everyone in the world would have more visible satellites than stars for most of the night and most of the year.
But don't worry, we'll be in Kessler Syndrome WAY before we get to a million satellites!
