Tas Set For Nation-leading Pokies Limits

Keep an eye out for possible skin reactions There's also a wild card: Facebook found that a small number of people experience something resembling an allergic skin reaction to the Quest 2's foam face coverings. The reports prompted the company to include silicone covers in-box or offer free covers online. No one in my family has had rashes or reactions, but you can get sweaty playing VR games. I'd recommend keeping a few clean spare foam faceplates and silicone covers for general hygiene.

My reasons for steering parents away from the Quest 2 as a gift for kids are below. But if you need further convincing of how much Meta itself doesn't consider the Quest a device for kids, Rampages.Us read its safety policies page.

You could use it as a family, though I've let my kids play VR occasionally, and let them see some amazing videos or simulations. I create a safe and empty area that's close to me, and while I let them use it, I cast the VR video to my phone using the Oculus app. That lets you watch what they're watching, and make sure it's appropriate. Unfortunately, there aren't any good controls on the phone app to easily guide someone else through an experience, which means I still need to rely on their own gameplay judgment. 

Instead of adopting its own digital coin or CBDC, El Salvador made bitcoin legal tender last year, meaning the established cryptocurrency must be accepted as a form of payment throughout the country. Soon after, Panama followed in El Salvador's footsteps and unveiled a similar plan to make bitcoin legal tender.

Not all tools have those kinds of limits. That's raised hackles in some quarters. US Rep. Anna Eshoo, a Democrat representing much of Silicon Valley, called for controls on generative AI art tools after Stable Diffusion was used "to create photos of violently beaten Asian women and pornography depicting real people," she said in a Sept. 22 letter.

One 'friend' stored a firearm and bullets in his roof, which Judge Barklay said the placement in a home where heavy drug use was normal increased the chances the weapon would be used for 'an unlawful purpose'.

VR isn't vetted for young kids (yet) Is VR even safe for younger kids? We don't really know, and Facebook is punting on the issue. But Zuckerberg also points to how the Quest 2 headset isn't weighted or optically aligned for smaller heads and eyes. 

I feel eye strain and fatigue when spending more than an hour in VR with a Quest 2. And I've noticed that the headset doesn't fit well on my kids' heads: My 9-year-old needs to prop the headset up a bit when looking at VR. I only let him use it for a few minutes at a time, always supervised.

The photos showed his Adelaide home in 'appalling' state, with nangs (nitrous oxide bulbs) laying on a marble tabled beside cigarettes, a bong, bottles of spirits, half-drunk glasses of wine and candles.

Monitoring or turning off chat and filtering content is difficult Much of VR is a solo experience, but going online in social apps and games can throw you into a weird mix of people along with conversations that frequently aren't censored. With Pkv Poker games, social hubs like AltspaceVR, Rec Room and VRChat, and esports like Echo VR, you can expect lots of strangers. I keep my kids' game console chat controls pretty locked down, but you just can't do that easily with the Quest 2.

"The device is designed for people who have a certain IPD (interpupillary distance) range, how far apart your eyes [are]. And different things like the weighting of the device are designed for people who have a certain amount of neck strength, for example. So not small kids, but at least people in their teens and adults. Those are things that I think will have to be overcome before you design even just hardware that I think really makes sense for younger kids to be wearing for an extended period of time," Zuckerberg said.

Another illustration of the difficulty came when a Colorado man won a digital art contest with an AI work from Midjourney. Getty Images, a business that licenses imagery, banned AI-generated creations in September.

Tech giants are investing deeply in AI technology. Later this week, Tesla plans to hold an AI Day event where it's expected to detail its Optimus humanoid robot and FSD technology it hopes will lead to self-driving cars.

The Quest 2 is an amazing doorway to immersive experiences, and it can be a device you share with kids under supervision if you're in the same room with them. But as a parent and someone who's used the Quest 2 regularly, I can't recommend it as a dedicated kid's device for several reasons.
