Greetings everyone.
My 13 year old son likes to play fortnite, forza, minecraft etc etc which I am usually more than happy to allow but he does occasionally get frustrated when things don’t go his way and quite often gets downright angry and vocal.
Usually a stern word is enough to temper these outbursts but seeing as he is only 13 his rationale is often that ‘of course he should shout, the 12 year old he’s racing against cut him up going into the corner…’
But it got me wondering if there was a way of using software linked to the microphone input level to trigger a system shutdown?
I’m sure there would be initial complaints but I expect he’d soon learn to adjust his outbursts.
There are of course hardware versions which literally cut power to any connected appliance but I don’t want the pc shut off that way which is why I thought of tieing it to the microphone but without needing a full audio suite or comparable utility, I just need something that triggers the shutdown and can be adjustable to account for ambient noise.
If anyone knows of any such software or can put me in touch with someone who could write ( for a reasonable price) such software I’d be immeasurably chuffed. Not sure my son will be though…
I expect there would likely be commercial interest for such software from parents across the world so if it doesn’t already exist I’d be amazed.
Thanks for reading everyone
