    This is why I think remote Ethernet jacks should be a thing. Like the same as those HDMI input multiplexers, but just to connect and disconnect a device from a wired connection. Glue that shit to the bottom of the remote. Boom. Parents get to rot their brains in front of the screens just like how they warned you not to do decades ago, and they get to enjoy doing something to stay “safe from viruses”

      You can do this with some firewalls, switches, and access points. Opnsense has timed firewall capabilities.

      I have one on a schedule here for my TV. I can also toggle it from my phone.
