>5 yo sibling addicted to tablets and mobile games >it's impairing his learning and social skills >became lazy and entitled >dumb boomer parents aren't stepping in, despite starting to be bothered by it as well >they're the kind of parents that ruin kids by spoiling them with no restraints i had enough, how do i break this piece of shit without leaving any visible damage? aslong as it's irreparable there's a good chance the boomer parents won't get a replacement.
tl;dr how do i brick a tablet without without making it look like smashed tin can
>5 yo sibling wtf are you 8 or are your parents retarded
Wyatt Robinson
their combined iq would be in the double digits
Lucas Williams
put it in water
Nathaniel Lewis
disable the touchscreen somehow, reboot and voilla.
Jordan Brooks
block the MAC adress at the router level
Colton Smith
>disable the touchpad i like this idea, how though
Landon Brown
probably in settings or its a developer command
Christian Harris
sounds like something they could fix at some phone store, won't do. need to brick the thing
Luis Ortiz
Enable Dev option, then set animation scale, transaction, and duration to 10x. This won't brick the tablet, but it will be excruciating slow.
Sebastian Reed
I'll try these, might post an update later
Grayson Lopez
just delete the system partition
Angel Taylor
This is good. I’d personally set a passcode on it. When asked about it, it’s fairly easy to lie about, particularly to the technically impaired. Just say your little brother accidentally put a code on it. Bonus points if it’s facial recognition or something. Make sure to use a friends face, but it seems more legit if the facial recognition is broke, too.
Xavier Thomas
They'll just buy them a new one
Zachary Ortiz
wait for the fucker to go to sleep grab his device install a rat (wide range of em available for android) while he is using it randomly flash creepypasta or scp stuff, gore of his favourite videogame characters, anything works here really
Juan Price
at the router level you fucking monkey. Sounds like you're the one with the attention problem
Oliver Lee
Just open it and cut a random PCB trace.
Landon Diaz
fuck off OP, give it back to him retard and just don't make him overuse it
Nathan Hill
first time on this board don't fucking bully me would be mean i don't wanna scare him nah they had enough of his shit but they're just not stepping in, they have Stockholm syndrome or something
Grayson Edwards
no bitch I'm not letting him turn into a sperg
Hunter Price
/thread
Andrew Wood
Looks like he's already in bad company then autist. autistic helicopter parenting faggot zoomer.
Lincoln White
>boomer parents >5 year old child Yeah, no.
Besides, OP, you dumbfuck, if this was real, you missed the easiest solution: just take the thing, and put it up on a high shelf.
Elijah Sullivan
>first time on this board >brother is 5 years old You're definitely a kid. Nothing wrong with that, we all posted here before we turned 18 but you shouldn't make it so obvious.
Landon Williams
I just wire a charging cable directly into a 120v cable. It'll leave some burn marks, but they just wipe off. I do this alot when people return devices locked to a google account, so we can get full return credit from samsung.
Angel Walker
Download India Browser 2020 and let it install whatever.
Ryan Hill
hey Jow Forums how do I disobey my parents and be an annoying faggot and waste their money? Thanks in advance.
Charles Long
Nuke the flash.
Tyler Campbell
only if you're doing it wrong.
Elijah Wood
>letting a 5 y-o spend his time on a phone/tablet/console
Angel Watson
mind your business dipshit. you'll get beat by your parents anyway
Ethan Thomas
The easiest solution is just to hide it and pretend he "lost" it like said. Or, if you're so inclined, crack it open and disconnect the battery
Kayden Morris
>First time on board pls dont bully ;-; Leave newfag >would be mean dont wanna scare him I see you're 12, or 13 at the most. Actually kill yourself
Eli James
It's plausible that OP isn't larping. I'm 20 and my youngest sibling is 2. Fucking kill me
Samuel Bell
Get off Jow Forums child.
Also do you want a commie in the family, because children who don't feel they own things are more likely to be commies.
Proper ethics start in childhood SO DONT FUCK WITH CHILDRENS SHIT UNLESS YOU WANT COMMIES
Jackson Collins
Overheat the battery while it's working. Literally. Blast that shit with a hair dryer for 30 minutes or let it sit in a pan with aluminium foil at 100-150*C for an hour or two. Do this several times. You won't destroy it with these temperatures but consistently lower its maximum charge. Less than half of soldering temperatures, so no worries. Batteries are made to resist soldering temperatures.
William Bailey
based
Gabriel Lee
Then don't let him turn into one, destryoing shit isn't the answer retard, bad parenting = bad outcome
Nolan Murphy
they will just buy another. you cannot win this battle. society has failed your sibling. within a year or two he will have a cellphone ontop of this.
Gavin Murphy
Stupid technochud
Carter Bailey
Damn, even more reasons for OP to save the entitled kid.
Wouldn't the shit just shut down?
Now this is the Jow Forums way.
Charles Smith
He's related to you, so there's a good chance that he's already one.
Samuel Russell
tfw 50 year olds are fucking and having multiple kids
Isaac Cooper
Oh and if you can open it up, loosen the USB port. Either stick a screwdriver between the bord and the board and twist for a few minutes (make sure the pins are disconnected and only make contact when the port is bent in the opposite direction). Or you could use a screwdriver to bend/cover the holes USB cables latch onto. That will make it infuriating but still possible to charge the device. >shut down No, batteries can withstand up to 100*C consistently. Even if it shuts down, it's no problem. It will work normally after cooldown, just with less charge.
Cooper Powell
Do you want it broken, or do you want to keep it for yourself afterwards? If not, just put it underwater for a while while a youtube video is pulled up or something. And if it still works then do it again.
Gavin Ortiz
Or, for more fun, take the charger, cut off the USB type A ending, strip the black and red wires so the copper is exposed. Also cut the cord off a lamp or something like that (don't cut off the end that plugs into the wall), strip the wires so the copper is exposed, tie/twist one wire from the lamp cord to one wire of the USB cord, and tie/twist the other wire from the lamp cord to the other wire of the USB cord. Plug the lamp cord into a wall socket. Pic related is what you want the USB cord to look like on the USB type A end
