My 14 year old has gotten so into arduino this year. ChatGPT was a game changer for him.

He is using a pair of ESP32s with cameras to make a “mom detector” so he has more time to switch tabs.



I had a "parents detector" in the mid-80s when we got the old TV in our room.

Unknown to my parents I did a deviation on the mains of the TV to be able to switch off the TV from my bed when the stuff I put on the way trapped.

For those who may have the reference, it was France, Canal+ times when you had instructional broadcasts on Saturday at midnight and you needed to make out what was going on from a scrambled image. Also the fact that you had to multitask like crazy to not be caught.


Why not have it switch tabs automatically?
