The dongle era sucked then and sucks now. All the minefields of FW chipset era with none of the disclosure on usbC controller du jour.
They are still very good about not punching down and I think that is one of the nicer things to say about the show but their shtick got old during the 45th admin and I haven't tuned back since.
That is a dark pattern to inflict on users expecting consistent output.
I doubt we'll see a pseudo macOS mode on mobileOS, but the mirroring for iOS in the last 2 major releases of macOS is just a jump to the left of local emulation.
Reminds me of the time I tried using pkunzip to expand a shareware demo and filled the C drive on accident.
You could be taught to use those machines respectfully, if you knew games were available.
What does a family computer with minimal internet access look like in the constantly connected modern era?
I miss portability of settings; configuring restrictions for an mdm is soul sucking.
Creativity from constrained minds?
All I see is the parent watching their students teacher conduct class in a paradigm that wasn't trained, for the first time. Nobody liked the isolation period, but to base judgement on the system on those criteria is childishly petty.
Be curious to see where their student stacks up now. I know all ages were hit with learning and social issues due to the isolation period, but the 5/4yo entering the edu now are back on whatever 'normal' is considered.
This kind of myopyic outlook that conflates the then-traditional instruction period to the remote instruction paradigm greatly cheapens every other point of your argument.
None of the teaching staff that had to adapt to that period of time were trained to make that experience 1:1 for the prior expectations and to use that as a basis to judge their entire ability is petty as fuck.
