I have a slightly ageing model (my co-developer is adamant there will be no upgrades, please do not suggest) and my problem is that it appears to have defaulted to ICT time (we are at GMT +11). I hear it performing operations well into the early morning, but booting from a cold start any earlier than 9am leads to all sorts of unexpected behaviour and system errors.
- buu700 5y agoHave you tried turning it off and on again?
- hluska 5y agoMy parents tried that when I was the model in question. They discovered that at best, forcing a reboot triggers unpredictable output from the model's emotional processing unit. At worst, the sneak process starts running with full privileges over the system.
- dgivney 5y agoAh yes, I can see the regression tests are failing so it's likely a developer error.
- cookie_monsta 5y agoI don't know where you are, but the right to repair movement here is nowhere near that advanced.
- jmspring 5y agoReinstall windows? duck
- gumby 5y agoThe DRM on these things is insane! Just try to set a simple breakpoint and they set the law on you.
- adamredwoods 5y agoIn the winter, the boot times are ridiculous.
- iab 5y agoHonestly this sounds like a systemd/timedatectl issue, try hard reset (ctrl/shift/fn/cheddar goldfish)
- atom058 5y agoMy model doesn't come with a ctrl key
- simonh 5y agoIt’s probably running a process that’s connecting to internet services such as mine craft or league of legends out of working hours. I’ve found that disabling internet connectivity at the WiFi router from 12:00 midnight until the morning can be effective to prevent wasteful background processing over night.
- ngcc_hk 5y agoNot sure the skynet junior will not take over if you try to unplug. Want some sleep my dear!!
- jasonhansel 5y agoDisconnecting Wi-Fi is not recommended, since it may prevent access to firmware updates that improve overall friendliness. The real problem may be in your educational system, whose operating hours may be incompatible with the standard, pre-set clock phase that most models naturally acquire at that age. I suggest contacting your local school board to continue troubleshooting.
- killjoywashere 5y ago^Hmmm ... it appears Grown Child without Small Child has entered the chat.
- eru 5y agoEh, disabling the wifi after midnight seems perfectly reasonable; even if everything else you are suggesting is true. Now, disabling the wifi after 4pm or completely, that would be a different question.
- indymike 5y agoI must have an advanced self directed learning model. I cut off the local wifi and they just paired with the neighbors wifi.
- 908B64B197 5y agoAlternate take: some private third party school boards use a different scheduling algorithm and manage to bypass that issue. Plus you get an API key that gives you better support.
- tomcam 5y agoI don’t mind the slightly aging models. Elizabeth Hurley is about 57 and seems to be functioning very well.
- fragmede 5y agoThat particular model seems to be running with the be_fckin_rich cheat enabled, which allows for a team of clinician-type bots to treat her avatar. The rest of us don't quite* have that level of luxury.
- stickyricky 5y agoIf you're still in warranty contact the manufacturer and see if you can RMA it.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoShe has repeatedly refused the RMA request.
- tkgally 5y agoIt sounds as though many of the commenters here are still trying to deal with the first-generation Small Child. My sympathies to all of you. A couple of years ago, I was fortunate to acquire a next-generation model, rebranded as Small Grandchild, and the UX is much superior. All of the troubleshooting and command-line interactions are handled by the Grown Child, who herself now has a reasonably good interface. For me, the UX of Small Grandchild is purely hug and play.
- rsyring 5y ago> purely hug and play That was fantastic...thank you. :)
- disillusioned 5y agoLiterally perfect.

- joejerryronnie 5y agoWell played sir, well played.
- ragebol 5y agoAh, so the troublesome interface is abstracted away by an further developed version of the roughly same thing. Interesting
- saargrin 5y agoah finally moving away from monolith to microservices and handing over all those tasks off to someone SmallChildAsAService 2.0
- Sevaris 5y agoI'm disturbed by the complete lack of any sort of ChildFactory in the comments.
- msgilligan 5y agoYou need to make a Use Case Diagram and further analyze the system. If you do this and properly understand the system, you will realize that you are the product and your UX is perfectly designed for the child who is the actual user in this system.
- msgilligan 5y agoThis also reminds me of the old joke: > Q: How do your parents know exactly how to push your buttons? > A: They installed them. But the truth is evolution installed the buttons in parents as well as installed instincts in the children enabling them to push those buttons whenever they need.
