Yep, I’m one of those parents, but it’s not entirely a complete ban with the right networking gear. This isn’t as easy as blocking the ‘youtube.com’ DNS entry at the network level, because there are several various DNS entries used with the various Youtube apps on other devices.

d7II subscribers will notice their copy of d7II v3.6.86 (or earlier) now promotes that an update exists to v3.6.87 (there is no actual code change for this specific .exe version; the version number is incremented to silence d7II update notifications if used after this d7x release.)

Initial incarnations...

Backwards compatibility note: This is the only area in d7x configurations where d7II may (and likely will) erase the setting entirely when used to edit the same custom app configuration. Although we’re not looking to add new features in d7x Alpha at the moment until we have tested everything, had good feedback from testers, and are...
This latest d7x Alpha “TestBuild” replaces the “d7IIx Alpha” versions opened to all d7II subscribers in March. We believe this release can be tested with confidence in a production environment, provided you keep d7II with you as a backup. d7x Alpha is designed to sit beside d7II in the same folder, and maintains backwards compatibility with d7II configurations and active d7II session data (temporary files and settings specific to d7II and the current repair process) so...

For d7II subscribers / IT Providers: Today we’ve released a new update for d7IIx Alpha, but also today we’re making the Alpha builds public to all d7II subscribers (a currently active d7II subscription is required.)

This release is NOT for production...
