Granted, this is farce, but in a real situation, you could just cut wifi. If you’re worried they’ll try to bring it back up, hide the cable. (That’s right, Dorothy: you can work around this when you get a new cable. Without Amazon. You can find a Best Buy. Made of bricks. Good luck.)

Might I suggest CB radio?

It’s retro (retro is cool now, right?)

CB’s a little short-range for use from home. Perhaps a handheld 10 meter transceiver? Time to start studying for that HAM license.

Very likely. Unless heck has come full-circle on the treadmill of teenage slang. A little harmless performance art though. Anyone who’d let something like this irritate them must lead a life of perpetual irritation.

I felt the original came off the wrong way so i’ll just say:

while it’s funny to giggle and marvel at her hacking skills, I also worry a bit about a world where parents can’t control who their kids contact.

yes people will always sneak off to the lake etc, but electronics make it so much worse
