  • I’m gonna be honest, I don’t remember the last time I had a problem with windows. I had some issues getting a media server set up that ended up being the router my ISP gave me, I had an issue with the 11 “upgrade” that ended up being a BIOS setting. But the last time I had an issue that was actually Windows related was on a previous computer, and my desktop is damn near geriatric.

    So I had a minute of boredom and looked it up.

    As it turns out, much like I before E, the “sometimes” rule we learned as children is the fucking opposite of truth.

    Y is a consonant when it makes the “yuh” sound in words like yellow and yak.

    It’s literally always a vowel otherwise.



  • A simple toggle, secured with a password would do it. Child’s device Y/N. If no, proceed. Your browser or whatever app you’re using would only need to see that one setting, and it’s not much different than your browser looking at any number of settings on your device.

    Shit with TWO toggles, the other being “is this child under the age of 13?” You could even force sites like YouTube actually to comply with federal law about targeting minors with advertising.

    But. These laws aren’t actually about protecting children, they’re about establishing a real identity for every person online.
