That could be true if it where not for the fact that Elon thinks that not enough children are being born and the world is heading for a population crash.
Or that could be the excuse he using when pumping out some more children, which unlike some other "tech gurus" he does at least acknowledge his spawn.
Given this thing will need some kind of network connection why not just give them a phone a video call them.
You could even install some software that when you get a miss-call will send a message saying where they are.
Add some "extra" circuits that will send location data when the phone is off to, should not be too hard.
If your out without your phone it is back to prison for you.
A watch is going to be rubbish, what happens when the battery runs out. Can you even take it off to recharge it?
Not going to happen while Russia and China and a veto!
<quote>The United Nations Security Council veto power is the power of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) to veto any "substantive" resolution.</quote>
China does not care about TSMC, they want to unify China and they consider Taiwan to be part of China, oddly Taiwan also consider Taiwan to be part of China but they think they should be in charge.
They do not want the rest of the world to say that Taiwan is a sperate county, that is why the UN does not now say it is and the visit could be considered to legitimise Taiwam.
The history is rather long if it interest your here is a page about it https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/countries-that-recognize-taiwan
The dust does not have to be anything exotic could even be a bag of dry dirt from outside, does not even have to be an explosion.
Just sprinkle it into the out flow of the air purifier and air circulation would spread it about?
Edit Bag of Cement now that is a nasty dust to remove :o
It could be argue that the continuation of the cold war and the expansion of NATO was largely driven by some 5 American arms manufactures in order to sell more arms.
In 2006 NATO defence ministers pledge to spends at least 2 percent of their GDP on their dense annually and where does most of that go?
Said no one who cares about their privacy.
If your already on Facebook/Meta how many of these potential data point do they already have if they wanted them.
Does them knowing how long your Height, Arm Length, Interpupillary Distance is affect you in anyway?
Would be good if instead of saying 1.2 V you quoted all the information.
Once activated, a single cell provides an open circuit potential of 1.2 V and a peak power density of 150 µW/cm2 at 0.5 mA.
Conclusion
We developed a water-activated paper battery for single-use electronics with low environmental impact.
…
Life cycle assessment will also be completed to evaluate and compare the environmental impact (CO2/kWh) of our paper battery.
They can hardly say it has "low environmental impact" if they have not do done an environmental impact study!!
Paper as a surprisingly large environmental footprint and I'm not sure how well what is left after it as been used is recyclable.
If they did not steal it they would be shouting from the rooftop how great they where.
This could be one of the reasons why China has not officially submitted details to their exascale computer.

<quote>Bosch is set to invest €3 billion in its semiconductor business by 2026 as part of a broader push to boost the European chip manufacturing industry.

…
According to Bosch, the €3 billion (just over $3 billion or about £2.5 billion) funding is coming from the EU and German federal governments

Looks to me Bosch is investing nothing the EU and German federal governments are doing all the investing.
Looking at it I broken it down this way.
1) cryptocurrency is not a publicly traded security
2) publicly traded security are exempt from exemptions that allow US government staff to hold securities and work on related regulations
Which leads me to think no they are not allowed to directly hold cryptocurrency.
However the next part means they can hold up to $50,000 in a fund that do invest in cryptos,
But government employees are allowed to invest in mutual funds that concentrate on cryptos, provided they have invested no more than $50,000.
<quote>The proposed update to the Online Safety bill [PDF], currently working its way through Parliament, states that British and foreign providers of a "regulated user-to-user service" must report child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA) content to the country's National Crime Agency.</quote>
So this does not apply to unregulated user-to-user service?
What is to stop the bad people from writing their own version of Android and messaging app?
If they are doing bad things breaking another law is not going to bother them.
