If you are going the Windows route Microsofts family settings can create a child account that is locked down and has usage time limits and a bed time that will lock the PC.

It isn't perfect but does give you some insight into what they are using he PC for.

Google do something similar for Android devices + Chrome/Google search.

OpenDNS has a family friendly DNS that is filtered and free to add another layer to any device.

As others have said anything you do will only slow them down. It's like swearing, you can ban them doing it around you but they'll still do it at school with their friends. Sometimes they'll slip up and use a word at the wrong time and you will have to remind them what is appropriate but as a parent it's what you are there for, helping them form a decent set of guidelines on what and when things are appropriate.

I am liking the BBC playing the large orange pant shitter at his own game and him hating it.

I hold all news outlets in the same regard, they sensationalise or ignore when it suits them and are there as Ad space more than anything for the most part. Clickbait. Clickbait. Clickbait. Traffic, Ads, REVENUE.

The cycle has kinda put me off most news sites/feeds.

I dunno, Aldi and Lidl in the UK have half decent cola, lemonade and other flavours of fizzy drinks. Their iced tea isn't too bad either.

When the price difference is less than £1 per 2Litre bottle or over £3 for the branded stuff I'll put up with the difference.

Cries in Max Payne.

Borderlands I haven't watched, the trailer was enough to put me off.

The first Resident Evil I really liked though. The Street Fighter movie with Vandamme and Kylie was camp fun.

They will run out of money altogether inside a year and cannot attract new investment at the moment.

They should not be paying any of the top level management at all, let alone paying them bonuses.

Nationalise the water, gas and electricity suppliers. Nationalise public transport, railways and buses especially. Sod shareholders and make the bloody things work properly and stay working.

Are you using the creality software or orca? (Or something else)

We've had better luck with Orca with our Ender V3 but does still seem frustratingly hit and miss for some prints.
