|
 |
Ive been looking for a tool that can limit the time my 14y old can spend on his pc (like from 07 am to 8 pm). The problem is, he isnt stupid and could bypass any restriction i set up in the last year... even the windows internal time control and making him a standard user didnt help. And to be honest, i dont want to restrict him being admin... its his pc and he should be able to do whatever he wants to do. Its just that school has no priority to him and i need to make sure he gets at least some sleep.
Any ideas / hints?

Take his PC away for two weeks. Sounds like you're treating him like an adult.

if you canot convince him with words, just move his computer in a "public" place if it is in his room.
and about controlling which hours is allowed to stay on computer there are many solution. including taking the monitor for example.
he likes to read ? buy him a kindle.

Just attach his computer time to his average grades. The lower his grades the less he gets to use the computer. Seems like a valid solution

It will be fun if he starts masterbating in those public places in your house

Well if you want to have some control of him you'll have to put time into him.
I know kids are a drag, especially in their teens  
It is possible what you ask, but I'm thinking of running a domain and such... I bet someone else has easier/less time consuming solutions for it.
But it will still only be a thing to cover when you can't put time on him I'm afraid.
Edit:
You can do a lot with parental controls, but you said you still want him to have admin rights, and I'm guessing making it an admin account will make him be able to alter those settings. Dunno, try it out. I would, but frankly I'm too lazy to figure it out for someone else 
Or you can try one of the 54654 programs you can find on google that can restrict access.

The thing is, how can i restrict his computer time with technical means? Probably not possible....
dont give him the account password, limit user rights trough group policy. log in only by yourself.
make another computer (if you have another) a domain controller, make his user a domain account. you can control it very easly.
but i think you treat this issues wrong. (if you consider it an issue). you are really acknowledge the fact that he actually does whatever he wants ignoring you completly ? you take his monitor, he gets another one. you forbid access to computer from 1-4, he ignores you. from my pov something is a bit wrong here.

Fill his time with something else, like a kids soccer club or judo classes or something.

The os drive thing is actually a good idea! Have to check on amzon.
The problem with all those technical means (domain, standard user, etc) is, that its way to easy to reset or brute force the admin password under windows (ophcrack or similar). That way he can always just create a new local account.
And what you said shole... i dont want him to feel like in jail and not being able to be creative, learn things that are important to him. And especially not make him a good citizen, following blindly the rules. We all know that theres a small percentage of people who make "their" rules, which most of us have to follow... and the world will go even more crazy then it already is before it gets better, imho. Having a free mind can certainly help.
Filling his free time... well, i tried some aikido with him. Didnt work out... then i tried to convince him of the gym... that was even worse lol. Hes a computer nerd... when he was 6, he resetted my apple id and started buying all those apps.
