Consumers don't want web filtering - survey

NINE in 10 people expect their internet service providers (ISPs) to offer open and unrestricted access to the web, a survey has found.

The survey, commissioned by Google, Yahoo and Skype, came as the EU holds talks on a joint deal to reform telecoms rules to boost competition.

Those who want net filters can install it on their own pcs.

But ISP filters would destroy the net. Who would decide what gets filtered and what get through?

In Australia it would be our government, although I've heard that they might only have one person approving sites for the black list is which pretty scary.

I don't see why they didn't promote the downloadable filter that the government developed instead of getting rid of it and imposing an ISP level filter.

How does that work? Are there many sites you can't visit?

They are talking about ISP filters in Europe too, so I hope it doesn't happen...

New and improved ASUS ROG Ally X battery life is just what it needs to compete with the Steam Deck

Yet another leak for the ASUS ROG Ally X points towards as much as 8 hours of battery, but how does that compare to the competition?

Vits11d ago

Honestly, I really like this updated version. But it doesn't solve the biggest flaw that the original had for me: the Z1 Extreme APU. Yes, it's an extremely powerful part, but it is not part of AMD's Adrenalin driver update program, so it's dependent on Asus for driver updates. And unfortunately, Asus doesn't have a stellar record of support for their devices.

Goodguy0111d ago

Up to 8 hours basically just means the least demanding games. AAA gaming at highest wattage would probably be about 2-3 hours which is good compared to just about 1 hour with the current ally. The OLED Deck can do about 2-3hrs.

With much less performance so that makes sense.

The Steamdeck shines at the lower TDP end but gets absolutely mopped at the high end.

Similar longevity with much better performance is a big win for the Ally X

Too bad Asus are all awful company.

They used to be the best when it comes to motherboards, now I will never buy anything from them again.

Firebird3609d ago

8 hrs yea right. Running tetris?

Skuletor9d ago

Only after setting the screen brightness to the lowest level, of course.

Notellin9d ago

They tested the battery life watching a game of Tetris in 360p. Running Tetris natively brought the number down slightly to 1 hour and 38 minutes. 😂

Asuka9d ago

Nope. The only improvements I want to hear is better customer support. Otherwise, I can't be bothered.
