If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Having a very curious and tech-savvy eight-year-old at home, I'm thinking it's about time I added an extra layer of protection to my web connection. Although most of his computer time is supervised, he is more than capable of using the smart TV etc., so I was thinking of adding a whitelist/blacklist to my router. Does anyone have any experience with this? Does it work? Is it obtrusive?
Other than that, what about net-nanny type software? (though I'd prefer a router solution, so I don't have to 'fix' all the connected devices)

URL blacklisting in routers isn't very reliable (VPNs, proxies, even HTTPS..), IP blacklists have to be updated.. but they work to some extent. Using opendns.com you can probably do some better filtering, but of course that is fairly easily avoided by setting 8.8.8.8 as the DNS (does he/she know how to do that?).

Well yes, if you wanted to visit the sites you're blocking.
By the way, they're probably already shitposting on 4chan anyway.

Thankfully, he doesn't know that yet! I'll look into OpenDNS I think. I'm under no illusions about being able to 'protect' him for long, but hopefully I can keep him from accidental exposure for a while longer...

Netgear Routers come with fairly advanced Net Nanny functions - Apart from the usual IP black/white listing they come with a keyword based black/white list.

In the worst case you could have a computer as the gate to the Internet.
Then in your router allow only one device (your internet "server").
You could assign to that pc your router current ip and change the router one... this would remove the need to change all your devices configurations.
And in that pc you could use a kind of netnanny software.
Just put a reliable password and lock every access to it: bios, user...
Of course this should be the most flexible way of doing it, but implies having a computer on all day.. set it up...
Probably the router way would be better...
My half cent.

Use Open DNS[^] on your router and then all devices connected through it are protected.

W10 family mode has a lot of big brother reporting features available.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Hello
My name is Meysam Tolouee. I am 26. I'm married. It's about 5 years I have started programming. I love programming.
I live in Iran; Many companies doesn't pay much for developers; And recently I have many financial problems. I thought maybe other countries pay more.
Please let me know if it is true and help me to migrate your country!
I will send you my resume if you send me private message.

Sounds like almost anywhere will pay more than what you'd get in Iran. Especially in the "Western" world.
Good luck on emigrating!

Simply take a look at the typical incomes and study the live cost, in Denmark as an example I know people earn a lot of money, but the life cost there is incredible.
So be careful if you decide to migrate.
We don't know what you earn in Iran neither which is the life cost there so it is really difficult to help...
Good luck!

It is, but I have to wonder why robots always have to be made to look like humanoids at all... We're not all that efficient, and modeling machines after ourselves, I'd have to think the number of parts and complexity would make it prone to breaking down all the time.
But, I'm no robotics engineer.

Yes, but to be of use in the world humans made, human shape is useful, look at C3P0 he can sit in a chair, were as R2D2 gets in the way! also there is alot of research going into exo-skeletons for humans at the moment which is why Boston Dynamics is trying for a human robot!

Put some wheels on that sucker and put it against the fastest sprinter in the world.
It all depends on the use case I suppose. I'm just thinking the more moving parts, the less practical.

Yes the more moving parts the less practical, however if Boston Dynamics is going for the Japanese prize, it has to human shaped (the prize is for Exo-skeletons, I think its the fact that aging population less physical workers available...)
By the way I would love to see it on wheels/treads off road!

I was not aware of that. That makes sense then in this context.

It could be a combination of both - legs to handle environments adapted to humans (does it handle stairs right now?), but being on wheels would put it at an advantage the majority of the time.
