      As a gen Z, spot on, I constantly asked my dad to pirate me games, fix whatever was wrong with my computer or OS, until he got tired and forced me to learn.

      IKR? It’s way more fun to boot to the bios\uefi, adjust their ram and CPU clock speeds way down, then lock the changes behind a security password and just see how long it takes your kid to figure out what the hell is going on with their PC and how they can fix it.

        Route all their traffic to the library website would be comical. Then punch a hole through parental settings so when they think they found a hole, they wind up back to checking out a book.

        I shouldn’t ever have kids, might seem comical to me at the time, but manipulating people for jokes can’t be good long term

          Life lessons. Lol. My entire plot of sabotage can be undone by simply pulling out the cmos battery. But the path it would take to get them to that point is loads of knowledge.
