i think the relationship between cars and public transit should be like the one between custom built desktop pcs vs laptops + phones. the majority of the public mostly just uses the latter while the former is primarily left to technical enthusiasts who have a bit of sexual tension with the machines

Our kid will enter K-12 soon and this shit is turning me into the joker. Our school district gives out laptops to fucking KINDERGARTENERS and makes them sit in front of a fucking screen. WHY. How did anyone think offloading education to tech corps was a good idea. Get ALL of this shit out of schools

fundamentally I don't believe this is an OS security issue. These devices should be on a segregated internal network with very restricted access. Even sysadmins shouldn't be able to just browse to these from their laptops without extra hoops

Due to the kindness of friends I have ended up with two laptops after my old one finally died, and so I am doing work on one, while using the other to rip my vast dvd collection to my home server - and pausing to swap over the DVDs is legitimately working like some kind of pomodoro technique for me.
