Even if age verification laws require data deletion, you have to trust every website and third-party verifier will actually do it. That's a lot of faith to place in companies with spotty track records—and a risk that doesn't exist in-person when a bartender just glances at your ID. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/why-isnt-online-age-verification-just-showing-your-id-person
Why Isn’t Online Age Verification Just Like Showing Your ID In Person?

This blog also appears in our Age Verification Resource Hub: our one-stop shop for users seeking to understand what age-gating laws actually do, what’s at stake, how to protect yourself, and why EFF opposes all forms of age verification mandates. Head to EFF.org/Age to explore our resources and...

The Typeframe is modeled after the Epson PX-4 and looks like a twin. The 7.9" LCD is also a touchscreen. I chose a Raspberry Pi 5 and an inexpensive ready-made keyboard. It's all powered by a 10 Ah battery and charges with USB-C. And lots of 3D printing and cable management.

Data center is huge risk to the Saline River

The rapid expansion of data centers has severe climate impacts, and the facility’s cooling system will concentrate contaminants that could impact nearby waterways, said Alex Beauchamp, with the nonprofit Food & Water Watch.

“We cannot allow this huge risk to the Saline River to be permitted further,” he said.

“a recent #PewResearchCenter study on digital decay found that 38 percent of #webpages accessible in 2013 are not accessible today.

This happens because pages are taken down, #URLs are changed, and entire #websites vanish, as in the case of dozens of #ScientificJournals and all the critical research they contained. This is especially acute for #news”

How to disappear completely

The promise of the internet is that it would last forever. But that has proven to be largely untrue, as huge swaths of the web are vanishing, quickly and at random.

I said I’d get back on to the subject of Ford’s EVs today but after yesterday’s post on the Renault Zoe @peterrenshaw mentioned the reinvented electric Renault R4, which is one of my current favourites, so I had to post it. I drove this one at the Southern Group of Motoring Writers driving day back in the summer. Must admit, I’m a big fan of the small electric Renaults, old and new. Back on the Fords tomorrow unless I’m waylaid again…
