What can you even do on a chromebook?Typing?
Have you ever considered tech illiteracy is the normal state?
>>108742999its an internet browser. so you can use any cloud based software
>>108742999you can install linux and windows on chromebooksI tried using the default os but it asked for my e-mail address. I don't think my computer needs to send me emails
>>108743035It's a school laptop you moron, you can't install troonix and rice it
>>108743045Making a computer functional is the opposite of ricing
and also whats the purpose of chromebook?
>>108742999Nah, typing might teach you important life skill such as, well, typing, or spelling.Just use the built in dictation.
>>108743028Which is basically all software now.
>>108742999>Typing?It would be a massive boost in tech literacy if kids learned to type.
Just giving them a Windows laptop doesn't fix anything. They have to actually be taught to use them. They have to be curious enough to investigate them on their own time.
>>108742999I probably wouldn't have become a programmer If my school used chromebooks instead of windows 7 computers. The way I got into it was by learning how to make prank viruses using batch and VBS.
>"tech literacy">look inside>unfucking microsoft's shit
>>108742999The company I work for (not tech related) uses Windows despite the fact literally everything is done in the browser, other than Outlook and Teams.
>>108742999Get indoctrinated into the own nothing and be unhappy surveillance state from a young age. That's it.
>>108742999What can you even do on a windows laptop?Suffer?
My district has spent over 400k on parts in the last 2 years
>>108743261>Just giving them a Windows laptop doesn't fix anything. They have to actually be taught to use themI learned computers by tinkering with family members' Windows computers. Nobody taught me shit.I had a couple of kids in my household til recently and the teenage boy taught himself how to pirate games. I found he torrented Fallout 3 on his moms laptop. Nobody had to teach him.I think most kids are just NPCs with no curiosity or imagination or whatever, but if you get one that isnt an NPC they will seek out knowledge on their own
>>108743991Mate we're in an era where people can use a computer for work, do the same flow every day, and still can't tell me shit from fuck about said flow when something breaks. Or distinguish the computer from the monitor. I keep getting tickets because people don't know how to use adobe like that's my problem. Point is those self-seekers are getting very few and very far since the modern smart phone (imo)
>>108742999old district I had was entirely Mac from tablets to laptops and they're all equally retarded, most prefer using their phones because they don't understand how to use chrome>>108743235this anon gets it, boomers thoughts kids were somehow tech literate the moment they're born so they stopped typing classes and now kids can only tap. Teaching them about copy and paste blows their mind
>>108743991>>108743026>>108743991they are entirely consumed in a mobile world with SaaS seamless integration as the norm, its been like that since 2015-2016 reallyMost kids and teens don't know how file managers and folders work, they just view everything as "files in a bucket" where you search for stuff. They know nothing about file type extensions either. All productivity is the cloud for them.

>>108743045it depends on the model THOUGHours had firmware write protect set on one of the battery pins, so flashing new firmware only required removing the battery
>>108742999>What can you even do on a chromebook?Install gentoo on it
>>108744121>now kids can only tapso what, anyway? I type at 96wpm like this, faster than most boomers I've seen typing properly.
>>108742999I use one right now because it's my only device, I just use crostini to get access to a linux terminal.and I'm fine, works great for development. Just hate the fact that chromeos automatically claims 50% of your storage space for itself and that I got a smaller model meaning it's quite cramped.
>>108742999Go to cool math games dot com
if macbook neo can rip Google's awful death grip off all K-12 education the country will unironically be in a MUCH better state. But knowing Apple it's much more likely they'll just hike prices and ignore any school district trying to buy them.
>>108742999laptops don't belong in school at any level
>>108746059Its already Gentoo
>>108742999I use a Chromebox at work. Mostly monitoring surveillance cameras and documenting theft and security incidents in a web app. That and using reporting tools to investigate various shit I need to investigate.
>>108743991thisI got an interest in computers by messing around with the windows xp computers at school, changed a bunch of settings and broke the OS lolI liked the little gear icons they put on DLL files
zoomers here got proper laptops and still came out retarded
