Not sure why you are being downvoted, you are correct in saying this is mass surveillance, branded as age verification, and marketed as protecting the children.

Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!

I did use it incorrectly, allegedly.

It means I’m old AF

I’m a millionaire “allegedly”

YSK: This feature was disabled with a pushed firmware update.

Its true it was “not supported”, but the CPU was/is capable of it.

The big issue here is did AMD disable it accidentally, or did they do it intentionally. If it was intentional why did they not announce it anywhere in the update notes, or anywhere else?

Well fuck

This just in, Canada post and other mail providers will now be opening all envelopes and packages sent. All contents will be scanned or photographed and held on file for 2 years time, and released to relevant authorities upon request of investigation. To make things easier please do not seal packages or envelopes for easier and more convenient access.

All photos and scanned documents will be held in a highly secured database with easy backdoors access!

Pretty much the equivalent in terms of what Canada wants to implement with access to signal chats, VPN logs, and asking ISPs to keep logs for 1-2 years minimum.

Somehow our politicians don’t seem to see the similarities between sending a message online vs sending a physical envelope in the mail. Also, in both cases a person could encrypt their messages/letters if they choose leaving regular folks with less security.
