You may ask, how age verifier may determine your age?

You may ask, how age verifier may determine your age?

Quite simple: via browser they determine your preferred font size and the they use the following table:

• 16 years: 6pt
• 20 years: 10pt
• 30 years: 12pt
• 40 years: 14pt
• 50 years: 16pt
• 60+ years: 72pt

@masek They could also check whether the mouse and keyboard are standard, "gamer" or ergonomic models.

@masek I do appreciate the joke. However, my inner nerd has already named several edge cases where this fails.

[masek@infosec.exchange]

@corvus_ch If age verifier would be interested in edge cases, they would go mad (or madder).

@masek Im in the 20s range and need 16ft which is why I don't want tech making decisions for me

[dyingworld@mastodon.social]

@masek I had to get bifocals last year. Guess that shaved at least a decade off my online age

[jakob_krakel@dresden.network]

@x41h

16ft ?! The hell big is your display?

@masek

[masek@infosec.exchange]

@randomized When I was 16, I had a software on my C64 that allowed 80 columns of text on my 10'' B&W TV 🤪.

@masek I used to run 720p on a 100" screen. My eyes are terrible but I was setting that font as small as it would let me lol

@masek reminds me of:

A colleague shares his 30+" screen¹ in a call you have joined with your notebook: 3pt

¹ Bonus: with 3/4 of the screen being empty

[masek@infosec.exchange]

@stekopf I have a 32:9 monitor. I must never share the screen but only windows. Otherwise I create the same effect.

@stekopf@mstdn.social
Indeed, I hate when colleagues share from the big screen in the office while you are on business trip or in the lab in front of your laptop.

@masek nearly 40 here and still prefer 9pt-11pt. HiDPI screens just mess with that

[spacelifeform@infosec.exchange]

@masek

And monitor resolution.
