  • If the data connection is solid, notifications should be almost instant (assuming a properly-written app using the Google push notification service). There are so many different things to check that I would probably just recommend checking for updates (unlikely for a 4a) and then factory reset.

    Or just tell her to call you when it’s time sensitive. Or just yell down the hall.





  • Okay, those devices are an entirely different category. If your goal is a full desktop environment, though, that’s completely the wrong thing to look at. They don’t have desktop input controls. The most widely supported device would probably be a Steam Deck or similar.

    But, if your threat model is "being searched’, it depends on who is doing the searching. NSA? They’re going to pick you apart lest they have another Snowden. Immigration/customs? They’re going to ask you to turn it on and show it’s just a game console.


  • Stop exposing services like these to the Internet. If you need remote access, use a VPN.

    You don’t need to own a domain either. Use a free dynamic DNS provider.

    And if you don’t need remote access, don’t bother with that at all. Just run a local DNS server with records for these services with anything under the .internal TLD. Or even just IP address.

    HTTPS can come later. It’s really not important for traffic that’s not sensitive, like no passwords or whatever.

    iPhone. Parental controls.

    The goal here is to make sure they can be safe online, by telling them to watch what they say, don’t post personal info publicly or send it to strangers. Don’t try to control what they do online, because it won’t work. Banning them from using platforms like instagram when all their friends are using it is just going to make them the weird kid. I don’t know if they explicitly support account limits for kids, but there are digital wellbeing tools that let you set warnings and limits on apps.

    I also wouldn’t use any tracking tools outside the family location sharing. And I wouldn’t give anyone else access to it, like their grandparents, unless there’s a need, like it’s just them and the grandparents on a trip.
