And diwali with a difference the festival of lights is celebrated in a socially distanced way by hundreds of millions of people around the world. Now its time for click. Hey, welcome to click. Hope youre doing 0k. At the moment, we are all online much more than we used to be im talking about us, the adults, but also
our children too. And for many parents, there have been huge challenges trying to work from home at the same time as supervising children. And that has meant, in some cases, handing over devices before the proper Parental Controls are in place. And thats compounded by the fact that they may not have had enough time to supervise in the way that they wouldve done in an ideal world. So with my youngest, its simple im there, i operate the computer for her, i know shes not gonna see anything that she shouldnt. But my son is starting to get to the age where i want to give him a bit more independence but i also want to keep him absolutely safe. So so what do i do . Can i rely on Parental Control Software to block all harmful content . I feel that i also should be teaching him how to spot and possibly even become resilient to the stuff that he will still encounter online. Yep, thats a dilemma that all of us parents have to face, so weve been taking a look at some of the tech that aims to help,
but also how companies and legislation could perhaps do more. This is sophie. She was just 13 when she took her own life. Sophie had been suffering from depression and had had suicidal thought. Like many parents, wed given sophie a phone, and we gave her that at the age of 12, and we discovered a few months later that sophie had been accessing really difficult material, really completely inappropriate for, well, in my view, anyone, but certainly a child of her age. Recently, a video of a young man taking his own life was posted on facebook and subsequently spread
to other platforms, including tiktok, where it took days to be removed. Just this week, instagram announced that it will extend the use of Artificial Intelligence to spot this type of content to its eu users. It can then make it less visible and, in extreme cases, remove it. But this is a problem that exists across the industry. Even with sophisticated tools, harmful content still gets through. So ive been looking at safetowatch, a new ai video tracking platform that aims to help, which ive tested on an episode of the bbcs harlots. So the software is set to detect sensitive imagery and if it detects it, then it will grey the image out, thus prevent it from being seen. Now, its currently in alpha so it hasnt got its full functionality, but the general idea is that it can track video in real time. Now, that could be something thats being streamed directly from a phones camera,
or some video thats being streamed from the internet, but it can block any nudity or any violence that a child shouldnt be seeing before it ever reaches their device. So this is all about semantic understanding, so the Artificial Intelligence isntjust looking at the image, its basically contextualising everything around it, including audio, so safetowatch also can analyse, detect and prevent threats in cartoons and anime. Its picked it up, its saying its picked it up, but its not hashing it. Its very early days for the tech, it is glitchy and full functionality is still being built, but its aims are big. It hopes to work across all content providers, including home made video. While the video tool is still being worked on, the companys ai powered monitoring keyboard has been available since last year. Once youve downloaded safetonets keyboard app, you can select it as you default. Now, if i start to type something unpleasant, like i hate you, for example, it comes up with the warning, saying watch out high risk content. And you can tap on that warning for more information. Of course, its pretty clear what ive written is just simply nasty. So let me try a few other things and show you how it would respond. So, i feel depressed. And from there, it offers some advice. Oh, no would you like some advice . Youre not alone others do feel like you. We can all do simple things to try and protect children from harmful content. Most isps offer the facility to switch parental blocks on, that will stop some sites being visited, and most devices come with parental control settings that are easy to enable. But perhaps throwing Tech Solutions at tech problems isnt the answer, and we should be going back to basics. First thing is what does it mean . You know, what does inappropriate mean . Secondly, even if you do not, you know, know if its inappropriate, if it makes you feel uncomfortable, come to me. And thirdly, take a pause before you react. Children, you know, unfortunately will be exposed to harmful and inappropriate content and potentially to harmful behaviour from others online. And if that happens, the most important thing to do is to sit and work through that with your child. To take away devices would not only be an overreaction, but it does not then help to make sure that your child is safer in future. Theres no denying the new playstation is weird looking. Forget what the ps5 looks likejust for a moment. Well come back to that in a minute. Take a look at the games. Under the skin, the ps5 has custom amd ryzen gpu, which supports ray tracing a method of creating more realistic lighting effects. This means more visual whiz bang for your buck and it has an 825 gig ssd, which means load times should be drastically reduced. Whoa it comes in two flavours the full fat, full price version, which features an ultra hd blu ray drive, and a cheaper digital only version, which lacks the optical drive. Watch it hes throwing something as well as ray tracing, the gpu is technically capable of 8k graphics, although for now, 4k is all weve seen. It should be able to pump out 120 frames her second visuals as well, although so far, everything that ive been playing has been at 60 frames although very smooth. Ive been testing this machine for a couple of weeks and ive
mainly playing spider man miles morales. Whee . And astros playroom, which comes bundled free with the machine. Both titles demonstrate what the next generation is capable of, but in different ways. Spider man is simply gorgeous to look at. And the way in which spidey traverses the big apple, web swinging, wall crawling, running and leaping from building to building, as well as taking out bad guys with his trademark athleticism, spider sense and web slingers are all great calling cards for sonys new machine. Astros playroom casts the player as a cute little robot who embarks on a series of adventures inside the console. While some experiences are no doubt influenced by any number of platformers and adventure games, they do serve to showcase the ps5s new dualsense controller. So here, i have to use my little robot to pull out this cable, and i can feel the feedback
and the elasticity of the cable through the controller. It feels weird to be impressed by that, but i really am something im less impressed with is the playstation 5s physical box. The ps5 has has variously been described as looking like a router or an air conditioning unit which is fair enough, because it is one weird looking console. But i think all of its strange styling quirks are to try and mask its massive bulk. This is a big console. Its so big that it has its own postcode. In fact, i think its so big, its probably visible from the International Space station. Houston, i can confirm i can see the playstation 5 from space 0ver. Of course, the biggest challenge the ps5 will face is not from its own massive dimensions, but from the xbox series x. Like the ps5, the series x has better graphics and a superfast ssd, which drastically reduces loading times. It also comes in two versions the series x and the less powerful, cheaper, series s. One feature that sets it apart is the brilliant quick resume, which lets you switch between games in seconds, picking up where you left off. And perhaps the ace up microsofts sleeve for the xbox is game pass a netflix Style Subscription Service which gives players access to hundreds of titles for a monthly price. We think Xbox Game Pass is a critically important part of our platform. We are trying to make gaming more seamless, easier to try new games, easier to experiment with new games. Its reallyjust offering a ton of choices to players right now. So, which of the two new next gen machines to choose from . Well, they are actually pretty different. The ps5, at the moment, feels like the most next gen of the two thats because the games that are available for it at the moment really do show off what this machine can do. The xbox series x, on the other hand, is the more powerful of the two machines here, and game pass really does open up a whole world of video games to people that dont want to spend as much money per month on titles. This is an evolution, rather than a revolution. But on this evidence, its off to a strong start. That was marc, and thats it for the shortcut of click for this week.

He is on 11 under par. He made a brilliant eagle at the second hole with an iron from 220 yards to just 3 feet and then hes gone on to make birdies straightaway at the third and fourth and another one at the the 7th.
