Because of secondary smoke. If you drink or gamble, that does not affect people around you.

Smoking always does.

Well, that’s just an added bonus. Killing two birds with one stone and all.

I’m not saying I’m against the ban - I actually am for it. I’m just saying that if it was good enough for older people to make an informed decision, why are we denying only the younger ones that right.

If we truly wanted to fix things, we should ban it for everybody. Not at some arbitrary age cut-off.

Last I checked, secondary smoke does not respect age limits.

Not only games. Goes for all electronics as well.

Sick of supporting your ‘old phones’? You’re required by law to disclose all binary blobs as source code to let somebody else pick it up the slack.

Feeling like bricking old Kindles? Fine, but users must be able to install alternative OS on your old device.

Not providing software updates for your TV anymore after you removed features? That’s your right, but so is the right of the effing device owner to install something else on it.

And it’s not just consumer electronics. (caugh John Deere caugh).

It’s the same reason that Age Gating is popping up all over the world.

It’s because fuck young people, that’s why. I got mine, I don’t care about you.

Can confirm. I can speak Slovenian and always wondered why others can’t understand sperm whales.

If anything, they should limit fuel for private jets first. If we’re talking luxury - that’s were it is.

Not with some poor old chap squished like a sardine inside a Ryanair flight.

That would do a lot more for the environment and for fuel savings.

I would love to get on a train and arrive well rested into Amsterdam overnight. Unfortunately, we’re not there yet. Hopefully this crisis might speed up more efficient means of transport and reduce tax credits for airline fuel.

Shockingly, when I travel abroad I’m usually out and about for the most days. And that’s where power bank is needed.

If can’t have them in my checked luggage and and I can’t have them in my carry on, am I expected to buy a power bank every time I fly and then throw it away?

On the topic of in-seat charging ports: your luck may vary. Even if you do find a plane which has these and they actually work, the power is not usually enough to charge more power hungry devices - bigger phones, tablets, steam deck. Don’t get me started of you actually want to use your laptop during the flight.

Yes, if you fly business there are usually power sockets which you can use, but who has money for that?

Actually yes. They did vote for this.
