China will ban minors from playing games for more than three hours per week. Holidays are an exception. The government will impose the strictest controls on youth entertainment, hitting the world's largest mobile gaming arena.
Gaming platforms, from Tencent to NetEase, can now only offer online games to minors between 8:00 pm and 9:00 pm on Fridays, weekends and holidays. The state news agency Xinhua reported this on Weibo, citing a notice from the National Press and Publication Bureau.
The new rules, which limit teenagers' playing time to three hours a week, will replace those established in 2019 (then the limit was 1.5 hours a day).
Minors are only part of their business, especially after the recent restrictions, according to Tencent and other Chinese companies. For example, the country's largest gaming company said that revenue from minors is less than 3% of its gross gaming revenue in China.
Superb.
A Chinese state-controlled business media outlet, reported that President Xi had "stressed that common prosperity is an essential requirement of socialism" and called for "its advancement" while also "pursuing high-quality development" during the Aug. 17 meeting of the Central Committee for Financial and Economic Affairs.
Caixin also explained how the CCP is already implementing President Xi's vision for a more egalitarian (financially speaking, at least) society. The recent changes are related to school districts, after-school tutoring, property tax pilot programs and an expansion of anti-trust enforcement and other measures to tackle "reckless capitalism".
Because of the rapid growth, China is facing a wealth inequality crisis.
The high cost of urban living has contributed to a sharp slowdown in births, prompting China this year to allow families to have up to three children instead of two.
If you ask me - crackdown on small and medium business owners and big companies managers is a must, they must have their salaries cut by 5-10 times.
The UN has warned that Madagascar is at risk of becoming the first country where global warming has caused widespread famine. Tens of thousands of locals are already starving due to a four-year drought.
Did they have such droughts before? Yep, they had.
According to UN estimates, thirty thousand people are suffering from catastrophic hunger. There are fears that the number of victims could rise sharply, as the country begins the traditional "lean season" before harvesting. “This is unprecedented. These people have done nothing to cause climate change. They do not burn fossil fuels ... and yet they bear the brunt of change, ”said Shelley Takral of the UN World Food Program.
Thirty thousand from 27 millions. It is percentage that is less than many very rich countries.
And note how fossil fuels had been designated as main cause of issues. If not the fertilizers and fossil fuels for cars it will be exactly all 27 millions that iwll starve.
So, this UN clerks must be put is special jail for lifetime.
Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 3 smartphone will automatically disable the cameras on the device if you unlock the bootloader in an attempt to root the device.
According to ianmacd, the cameras will work again if you relock the bootloader before installing a custom ROM. This suggests, as XDA Developers notes, that the lock is likely a ‘software-level obstacle,’ which could likely be addressed in the future. But, as ianmacd says in his post, it’s also possible the cameras could be ‘disabled in other ways, too,’ even if a software workaround is found.

It is quote clear where it all is going.
For my opinion any non full open source OS and full open source drivers must be prohibited to exist on either smartphones or computers. And this is only one small requirement, as with present complexity open source means not much by itself.
