There’s other ways - write it into the conditions of loan that it’s not the school’s responsibility to monitor student use when at home.

There are solutions that allow monitoring only on campus - both the monitoring person and the student need to be on-site for the software to contact a licensing server. No server contact=no monitoring.
And never bring ‘AI’ into it.

Like doing homework in your room? Where now the monitor can turn on your webcam without you knowing and watch you in your personal space?

OK so that’s nuts they installed a private ‘AI’ monitoring software that they have no oversight or control over. From the article, they can’t even see what it flags as inappropriate - it just flags and deletes.
A school admin should never hand over that much control!

This is so frustrating when trouble shooting - trying to re-find where that one settings page was because you opened another.
It’s not a phone - it’s a windowing desktop environment. Allow multiple instances!

I went looking for the implied ‘A’ language but couldn’t find it. Did find this though:

Surprising how many single letter names there are.

Near field communication - it’s an antenna that sits inside the back case and let’s your phone interact with payment terminals and the like that support it.

You can add your tap and pay card to your phone and tap your phone instead.

Possibly OpenTTD?

Same developer but different games, from what I can tell he released Transport Tycoon first, then Locomotion which had ?better graphics and less complexity?

I’ll have to try openloco, I’ve only ever played OpenTTD and it’s pretty good

Have you tried Ardour?

Second OpenTTD - that’ll keep you busy

Already has - air Canada was held liable for their ai chatbot giving wrong information that a guy used to buy bereavement tickets. They tried to claim they weren’t responsible for what it said, but the judge found otherwise. They had to pay damages.

I don’t really understand how they consistently manage to screw things up. And they always say that the features are coming, but they never do.

I’m still bitter over Inbox.

I used to be excited about new things from Google. Tried to get into every beta, downloaded the newest released apps etc. But not anymore.

I just read about tasks being removed from Google Keep. Then the feature removal from nest hubs. Do they have a unified strategy at all? Or is it just the whims of a manager’s daily musings that drive what development does?

Iirc just recently they started giving out blue ticks to people with lots of followers, regardless of if they wanted it. Then this week they make it so you can’t hide them. It seems like a dim move - piss off the people who bring lots of traffic to your website, but actively decided to not get a blue tick, by forcing the tick on them.
If they didn’t leave beforehand, maybe this would make some people/orgs consider leaving?

The fish and chip co-op that used to be nearby was the best - trawlers parked out the back, super fresh produce, generous portions and reasonable prices.

there’s never been a “Papal starship”^[1]

A lot of the new systems can use battery powered cameras that are motion activated - they can last for a month+ on battery because they only turn fully on when they detect motion.

You’re right though - if it’s mission critical don’t rely on wireless.

No definitely don’t sideload a YouTube client that doesn’t play ads!

The worst part is it’s not just ‘they’ll kill whales, trust us’, it’s that they’ve cited a study in a journal to support their claim - but the journal says they have no record of the study being published or existing in the first place!

I’ve hidden the lemmit.online bot, which is just a repost from Reddit bot which no-one interacts with, and encounter this regularly.
Sometimes to the point of having to hit retry several times to load the next page.

I’d love for it to retry automatically. I get the spamming thing, but this could be alleviated by putting a delay before trying - it’s no different from the time it takes for me to press retry. But having to reach to the bottom corner to press retry is really annoying.

But the point of the article is that the watch literally can’t be repaired - no first or third party can do it.

But I can get any apple watch repaired. Yes they are scummy about third party, but apple will gladly repair it for money.

I can understand the shift.
