Help me outsmart my younger brother!

[Wolf-AUS]

Or, if you're really feeling like a dick, write up a batch file and stick it in his start folder, so when he turns his computer it starts deleting his shit or opens up some weird programs or something.

A good idea but I think that's raising the stakes a little to high at this point.

Just spoken to him and he can't keep a secret, he's told me that he has online access to the Sky account, thats how he plans to shut me off

Thanks for all the great ideas I will definately use some of them in the future, it's only a matter of time before we butt heads again

Fair enough, I know that if my brother screwed with me I'd fuck his shit six ways from sunday. You need a heavy hand to keep younger brothers in line, an iron fist and all that.

When you ask people to outsmart your younger brother, you have already lost.

This is completely true.

However, there are several things you could do. Firstly, let's think about exactly what your problem is: Your little brother is threatening you with an ability to disable something you like. Let's treat it like a weapon scenario. Person A threatens person B (that's you) with a secret device capable of damagin/destroying/disabling something person B likes, potentially so they can use this to influence person B. To stop this, there are a few steps:

1: Disable device - Find out what it is he plans to use to do this, and stop it from being able
to perform that function. It may be a private computer. In which case confiscating it, or removing the software capable of performing that function solves the problem. Infecting the computer would work too but i'm not going to reccomend or condone that.

2: Disable system - If this can be done with the internet as he hinted, remove his ability to access the internet. Be inventive.

3: Counter threat with Mutual assured destruction. Find something he likes, find a way to take it from him and threaten him with it if he uses his device

Any of the above three will work, hope i've been of service.

If it comes to it just wait untill he is out of the house and just unplug some of his power cables and hide them around the house.

Say "I don't care you're younger then me(insert insult)"

 

[higgs20]

call his bluff, if it turns out he's not bluffing, beat him with your now useless sky box.

just say, "I see that you found a way to act smarter then me, must feel good after all those years of being lesser then me," then, "Oh I guess you just couldn't take being the lesser one so you have to use your "BIG GUNS" on me. Well guess what, your still less then me."

Maybe something along those lines?

Just play the 'my stuff' game, where you threaten to take away everything that is 'yours'. Its only a problem for you if he has stuff of his that you like, but being the younger brother thats usually not the case.

Or the generic threatening without actually telling them what you would do, though making it clear that you have plenty of options when it comes to 'you make my life hard and i'll make your life harder'

Do what i do, go into their room while their gone, move some things around so it's just noticable, put a lava lamp in the corner, and tell him you took one item of great importance from his room, this will fuck with his head to no end, just make sure to lock your bedroom door all the time after that though.
