I know staying up past bedtime is illegal but I did it once to check and fortnite was in fact off 😔
Truly terrible news
I mean, mom could be right. Maybe there’s a rule on router to block Fortnite servers after 21:00. She just doesn’t tell that she the one turning it off
Easiest way to do this: Turn the modem off after bed time (you will also lose internet)
Most expensive but still easy way to do this: Buy a “smart router” with time-based parental controls (lets you use the internet at night).
Nerd way to do this: Pihole with a script that enables and disables certain blocklists at certain times (free and open source, because fuck “smart” products)
Cheaper alternative: flash existing router with DD-WRT or OpenWRT and access advanced features for free.
A true nerd has at least one spare raspberry pi laying around. Or just an old box they can throw Linux on.
Yeah, but as a true nerd i wont be using my old pi 3 to do that.
The poor bastard is strugling to keep home assintant alive. Better buy a new router WRT compatible.
Yep, that’s what I heard. They also do overnight backups so it needs downtime, kind of like people.
I love that part of the internet.
Kinda like “guy code”
“Was said he was with you last night”
"Yep, all night. Cleaned the spark plugs in my car and drained the blinker fluid. Couldn’t have done it without him "
But instead it’s “parent code”
“Yeah fortnight is closed. They close it so everyone can get a good night’s sleep and be ready for the morning!”
I was going to tell a personal story about telling my son McDonald’s was closed when I was broke or in a hurry but it reminded me of another cute store.
My son broke his arm in a McDonald’s once. Hyper extended his elbow. Got a couple pins.
Anyway a year or so later they completely remodeled that McDonald’s.
We drove by the demolished building during the remodel and my son shouted “that’s what you get for breaking my arm! Who’s broken now!”
Adorable vengeance served adorably cold.
Just FYI that cleaning spark plugs is actually a thing. Not common but sometimes they can get ‘fouled’ from things like oil or incorrect air/fuel mixtures.
Sure wink and oddly enough spark plug cleaner smells a lot like perfume wink
I got you bro.
Presumably they shut if off for 14 days, hence the name.
Thats gotta be it
Problem is that it’s regional. So even of you watch a big streamer, they are before 9pm so the game still works.
actually if a streamer is every streaming fortnite past 9pm, they’ve secretly prerecorded the stream as an alibi
It’s right there in the name, it shuts off for the night.
