Comment Re:Is there a way to stop the nagging (Score 1) 23

If it's a google feature that is off, there will always be nags. I use the chrome browser and try to avoid using sync - but sure enough either a popup will appear every few days asking to turn it on, or it will just be on and suddenly screwing up my local bookmarks and passwords. Oh and installing old extensions that I tried a long time ago and in fact aren't even supported by manifest 3 - but still installed because sync decided to turn itself back on.

My new android tablet had maybe 8 popups to turn on data collection and stupid AI features in the first day of use. It's google - it's what they do.

Which means it does not work in schools, children are simply not motivated to self teach. That is why the teacher is still the most important component to schooling, and we have taken away their ability to motivate the children because they can't kick out the phones or dumb-ass trouble makers.

Do they still teach that simple warning in schools?

These results are not surprising, almost every bit of food we consume comes into contact with some form of plastic. Even if it's just in a plastic bag. Even a glass bottle has a plastic seal under the metal cap. If you use a plastic cutting board even your home grown veggie is exposed. To take this to the extreme a wooden cutting board is usually a glue up of many smaller strips of wood to get the 'butcher block' look. That glue is wood glue - most likely a PVA wood glue. Yep it too has plastic in it.
