@fastfinge @quanin @lynessence @pixelate @jonathan859 @mcourcel That's on my list for today, plug in the 7in monitor I bought just so the fiance can assist me with a few things that do not work with screen readers.

@dhamlinmusic @fastfinge @lynessence @pixelate @jonathan859 @mcourcel That's what dummy display port plugs or something are for. My computer has one of those.

@fastfinge @dhamlinmusic @lynessence @pixelate @jonathan859 @mcourcel Look. I know you've only got 3.5 inches but you don't need to compensate.

@fastfinge @dhamlinmusic @lynessence @pixelate @jonathan859 @mcourcel You know what they say. If the hardware's fine, it's a software problem.

@fastfinge @quanin @lynessence @pixelate @jonathan859 @mcourcel To continue this thread please enter your NetNanny passcode, or ask your 9 year old how to bypass it.

@dhamlinmusic @fastfinge @lynessence @pixelate @jonathan859 @mcourcel I've decided that in many cases, children are not in fact smarter than their parents. What happens is by the time the children are old enough to start being a problem, the parents have forgotten that hey, guy? This used to be you.

@quanin @dhamlinmusic @lynessence @pixelate @jonathan859 @mcourcel Also, children and tweens have more time. As a parent, you have to set up the web filter and go to work and get the groceries and clean the house and so on. Your tween can spend all day other than homework and school bypassing the web filter you set up.

@fastfinge @quanin @lynessence @pixelate @jonathan859 @mcourcel We still do not know how our 4 year old keeps installing things on her tablet, it's in kids mode, and we disabled the play store.

@dhamlinmusic @fastfinge @lynessence @pixelate @jonathan859 @mcourcel Is kids mode behind a password? And is the password 12345? And are you sure he's using the play store?

@quanin @fastfinge @lynessence @pixelate @jonathan859 @mcourcel It's my daughter, the code to exit changes each, time, and we know she can get out of it, but the store remains disabled, so the best guess is Kids Space itself is able to install things, or the Lenovo software that you can opt to to get suggested apps is running and we cannot locate it. We just block them when she does it as Family Link still informs us she did it.

@dhamlinmusic @fastfinge @lynessence @pixelate @jonathan859 @mcourcel Does she have access to a web browser? Because she can install apps that way too.

@quanin @dhamlinmusic @lynessence @pixelate @jonathan859 @mcourcel It could also just be an ad in a game she already plays that links out to an app that's not through the play store.

@fastfinge @dhamlinmusic @lynessence @pixelate @jonathan859 @mcourcel Yup, that too. All kinds of ways to install shit and there isn't a parental control alive that can block all of them.

@quanin @dhamlinmusic @lynessence @pixelate @jonathan859 @mcourcel This is why Google needs to disable third party apps completely unless they're signed by Google and Google has photo ID of the developer on file and fingerprints and has done a background check and a credit check on the developer. Think of the children! arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/08/google-will-block-sideloading-of-unverified-android-apps-starting-next-year/
