Going into a best buy nowadays is going to be a waste of time 90% of the time, every time. Even checking store stock online is dramatically incorrect compared to what they actually have in store. Might as well just be a physical website at this point.
If its jeets staffing it, its guaranteed to be fucked. They will straight up lie on inventory, either claiming its all as it should be to avoid actually doing the work, or lie about missing stock they explicitly know is missing so that they're not held accountable for it - their reasoning is genuinely "Whoever noticed the problem was the one who lost it" and everyone will avoid it as a result. The only thing you can be sure of is that if they are accidentally sent too much of something, they will end up with exactly as much as they were supposed to have logged in the system and the accidental overstock will walk off the backroom shelves within one shift, guaranteed. Its actually quite appropriate that Jeets will shit where they eat.
Fun fact, if you're from Argentina you can get all their "premium" content for 44 cents
No doubt Linus sends his kids to some expensive private school so there's probably less one is able to push back against, also makes sense why they would expect the parents to be able to supply their kids with the required technology.
If it were a private school I would expect them to be taught on something higher-end than chromebooks. Skills learned on a chromebook aren't really transferable, the chromeOS is more like a phone OS blown up to a proper monitor and keyboard than it is like a computer. MacOS and Windows aren't identical, but skills learned in either are a lot more transferable.
I don't think its about teaching computer skills, rather having a common device that students can do their school work on.
Why do you think leftist Canadian fag Linus isn't all for that?
Most likely, yeah. But if my nephew's school is at all comparable to a private school in Canada, all they do is use Google Docs in a browser and a videochat app. All the major videochat apps are available for Windows, MacOS, iPadOS, Linux and ChromeOS, and they all have browsers that work just fine for Google Docs.
Its pretty much irrelevant, the actual angle here is corporate lobbying in the side door of education standards to functionally force spend on their devices and encourage experience lock-in. Corpo's convince the school board you absolutely gotta buy these devices (we're so happy for the opportunity to contribute to your reelection campaign), board then needs to justify the spend to schools. Easiest way to do so is when a mandate comes down that its not optional, we've already paid for them so you will absolutely use them, deliberately weaponized sunk cost. Absolutely no incentive or reason at any level to be 'flexible' about it, the bring your own device policy is a backup for the retard who keeps breaking school issued machines to be told "You have to buy one of your own then" with the same device restriction so its their problem to deal with, not the schools.
I used to have a silly multi-monitor setup like that, then the LG C1 48" OLED TV came out and now I just use a single one of those instead.
I don't think I could give up multi-monitor, but more because I actively turn off the extra monitor when I want to focus on something. Its surprisingly effective at killing the temptation to just have zone out second monitor vids or whatever playing when I do so, think it might be some lizard brain thing going on.
