Most parents done feel like raising theirs either. They just stuff them on a tablet and do their thing.

You assumed absolutely wayyy to much based on a single sentence and virtue signal your superiority based on your own fantasy of what's going on with inconclusive data. Move along.

I have the Microsoft safety shit on, and I made every site they can go to a web app. My router blocks nsfw/nonkid traffic. My phone gets notifications when they do anything at all.

And I have extensions blocking all nsfw sites just in case. And I've nuked the entry for any web browser on their start menu and task bars. Can't even scroll to find it. If you open it, it requires my admin PW, which is 14char #$@-123-ABC so good luck turds.

Steam is locked down in kid mode - also they just play Roblox or cool math games anyways lol. Steam has browser disabled.

Only things they have access to is Bing.com with their signed in kid account. And coolmathgames.com.

It took about a week on and off to setup and I just did the two laptops in tandem. Windows 11.

The family thing can be a pain, Microsoft has a lot of half baked ideas https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/how-to-set-up-parental-controls-on-a-windows-11-pc

92 here. My boys 10 and 8 have their own machines, they are told to Google it first before I come help.

The IT department knows. They chuckle when the scans come back.

I have a stack of laptops with 1165g7 processors in them. The Intel XE graphics they have onboard and 65watt package makes them easy replacements for their switches.

The 125 was new mice, skins, and a screen replacement.

And I slowly was grooming them into playing on steam when ever we could, little did they know they were building their steam libraries while farting around for Christmas :)

No no, we did it. But only kinda. We do one big gift and that's it. Last year it was recycled laptops for the kids. Cost me $125 and it's been their best Christmas.
