Описание: New York’s proposed warning labels for social media was the topic of a discussion questioning whether lawmakers understand the real drivers of addiction and the privacy cost of age verification. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Marty Jencius, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Web Bixby, Jeff Gamet, Mark Fuccio and Jim Rea also cover shifts to “brain gear” wearables and the risks of sensitive data leaving the device. The group praises the M4 Mac mini for outsized performance, value, and flexibility—especially for multi-monitor setups as one of the highlights of 2025.
