DOGE already defunded that government department.

Your plugs look like they are an anime frowning girl with a sweat drop on their forehead.

I’m curious what CPU was in it, as there aren’t any CPUs listed from 2019 that aren’t supported.

These were done in crowded, enclosed areas. And not very discreetly.

Ahhh hot knifing, the tequila of weed smoking

It is banned under the same laws and rules, but since it takes less than 2 seconds to take a hit and blow it downwards so it doesn’t show on cameras, you have to be there the moment it happens or they will deny it was then. I see kids vaping on the bus often, and this is what they do. Yes, kids. I see 12-14 year olds doing this. I’ve also seen people doing big vape clouds in bars, beside the signs saying no vaping.

Things have changed since then. Steam not only has a Linux client, but also has Proton which loads most Windows apps (it’s marketed for games, but in reality it will work on Windows apps).

Most games that don’t have kernel level anti-cheat tend to work.

Have you tried to play the games or did you look them up on a site? I’ve found that unless you are looking at a popular new game, a lot of the games listed are saying that they don’t play, but we’re last checked in 2023, and they do work now but no body has updated the new results.

Congratulations on the downgrade. You’ve gone from an OS that will support your hardware from at least 10 years, to maybe 7 years of support.

On a serious note, what can’t you do with your Pixel? The only issues I’ve had is I can’t access networking functions. Beyond that, not much limits in most things I do. And with Android 16 allowing for installing Linux apps (not just terminal ones, but full graphical ones like VS Code, Blender 3D, etc), there is little I can’t see it not being able to do. (No Wireshark though, but that’s networking, the only painful point for me).

so my question here would be: does this mean linux now is ready for the education sector?

No, not for elementary/HS. You have to understand that schools aren’t regular users. They will have 2 top priorities:

1. Hardware vender support. There isn’t any vendor that can/does support the volume and pricing that a school will do. While some major vendors are starting to offer Linux pre-installed, they aren’t apart of their educational vendor options.
2. They need to have a “drag and drop” security suite. Schools don’t have large/well skilled IT department, so they rely on security suites that “tick off all the boxes”. This allows them an excuse is suddenly little Timmy has porn on their school computers. (This is one of those reasons ChromeOS is becoming so popular. They can issue a device, have the student only have a Google Workspace for Education account, and then walk away. Easy and simple. And yes, there are many websites that can tell you how to get around it, but then the school gets to turn around and claim the student “hacked” it and is in violation of rules X, Y, and Z to which the parent can also be held responsible.)

Until these two issues are solved, Linux won’t be ready for the public education sector. (When the parent issues the device, all rules are gone since it’s up to the parent what limits to place, and all the school will say is that the device must be able to run programs X, Y, and Z.)

From the article: “In October, students at Assumption University in Massachusetts allegedly lured a 22-year-old man to campus, called him a predator and chased and attacked him when he tried to escape, according to a police report. After reviewing the man’s Tinder messages, officers said the man had thought he was meeting an 18-year-old student, not a 17-year-old, as the students had alleged.”

Thats how. You lie.

Yeah, no one wants to buy a swasticar or a deploreon anymore.

Possibly the fact many customers don’t want it. According to three Apple CarPlay site:

With digital car keys and the already seamless experience of Apple CarPlay, there are more ways than ever to take your iPhone on the road. With car keys, you can unlock and start your car with iPhone. And CarPlay gives you the ability to safely use what you love about your iPhone while you drive.

I don’t have an iPhone, so from all the marketing blurbs, it’s pretty much saying “Spend a ton of extra money for something you can never use.” I’ll pass on spending $1000+ on that useless"upgrade". And since Apple is notorious about locking iThings to Apple only hardware (or just not having full functionality when they do allow it), I doubt I’m alone in this thought.

So you went from a 10 year upgrade cycle to a 7 year upgrade cycle?

Hey, when it’s literally different, then it’s different. This isn’t both sides are the same.

This tired whataboutism… Really? Just stop.

It’s the same answer as always, the iPhone/iPad was marketed and sold as a “do all” device (“IPhone, there’s an app for that” and the iPads “What’s a PC?”). Game consoles are sold as a limited functionality device. These aren’t the same at all.

Musk bought the US presidency for over $250 million, that’s why.

When it falls into false advertising in every market that the iPhone is sold, it is.

While they did get released when they said, they didn’t get released in the state that was stated/indicated though.
