Why was it seen as a misstep?
I have memories of ramps, black z cars and a hotdog mission…

I think so, it doesn’t look like any device from here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_(PDA).

The logo is from the first palms, but it’s way too curvy

My mind read that as ‘hearing challenged voters’ and thought ‘geez I wonder how loud they had the pa’

That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

Just make it a Saturday and make it quick and easy to vote?
Then people can go to work before or after voting if they need.

Front fell off?

Seriously it’s still a month away. The election cycle in the US is ridiculous.

Similarly plate tectonics - not fully recognised until the 60s apparently.

I bought a ugreen one from Amazon that had a y-split so it could charge and play aux out at the same time.
It had a crackle ☹️ (regardless of if it was charging)

But my cheap nobrand straight USBC to aux from Amazon I bought ages ago has been great.

I think it’s a toss up unless you’re going with a name brand converter (apple as another said, agree there - price vs performance will always be good) or a more powerful DAC like a Fiio.

I should’ve added - I’m a teacher and make regular use of inking, classroom integration in OneNote, teams assignments to word for pen comments, excel macro workbooks, SharePoint syncing etc…

Unfortunately web wrappers for office lose to many features.

Plus (on my last look) the cameras on my surface pro would never work, so that’s another bust.

As much as I’d like to use Linux, I use windows because I need OneNote, Teams and Office.

Don’t forget dishwashers!

I mean we probably hear cheese the same too.

Here in Australia they fill it and give it to you, no refills.

McDonald’s USA has free soft drink refills.

The venues were pretty cool I thought. Nice break from ‘generic sport stadium A’.

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!
