"Are you nuts kid? We don't use wifi around here. I unsoldered the antennas of my router, just in case."

Fake! The AP is separate from the router!

[–] bisby@lemmy.world 56 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine having a router with an AP built in. We don't use that consumer tier stuff around here. 😎

Simple solution: log the kid into your neighbor's wifi.

As an early teen my parents turned off the WiFi router at night and when not in use. I eventually found the neighbor had an exploitable WEP router from an Android app, and I used it to continue watching Minecraft and Happy Wheels videos on Youtube.

Congrats, pretty sure "mom took away my internet" is the primary entry point for IT professionals

I got old 😭

I got in after pcs were consumer devices but before the Internet (mostly because I was rural).

Lol his reward was I retired from family tech support and gave the reins to him. He loved it at first but realized it for the curse it was within a few months.

Hes given it back to me by refusing to call my parents back when they call asking for help. I'd ground him but he's an adult and my shenanigans don't mean much anymore 😂

He is doing the right thing if only because he is preventing a child from playing Roblox.

He'd be a hero if he gave him a copy of Minecraft (or really almost any non-F2P game) to play instead.

Does the concept of Zero Trust also include Management? Asking for a friend.

[–] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 60 points 11 hours ago (9 children)

Probably because it was Roblox and an iPad

If it was a Nintendo DS and Pokemon Black 2 you could have never been able to deny peak

Wouldn't it be enough to just create a seperate subnet?

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 35 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah that's where it turned from story to joke for me
