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

McDonald’s USA has free soft drink refills.

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!

This is so frustrating when trouble shooting - trying to re-find where that one settings page was because you opened another.
It’s not a phone - it’s a windowing desktop environment. Allow multiple instances!

Grrr you reminded me that lollipop got rid of the notification ticker.

One of the nicest implementations of notifications and they scrapped it for intrusive heads up.

Back when material design actually felt like ‘material’

Possibly OpenTTD?

Same developer but different games, from what I can tell he released Transport Tycoon first, then Locomotion which had ?better graphics and less complexity?

I’ll have to try openloco, I’ve only ever played OpenTTD and it’s pretty good

Please bring it officially to Australia!

Have you tried Ardour?

Second OpenTTD - that’ll keep you busy

Already has - air Canada was held liable for their ai chatbot giving wrong information that a guy used to buy bereavement tickets. They tried to claim they weren’t responsible for what it said, but the judge found otherwise. They had to pay damages.

Core rope memory?

Memory density is about 2.5MB per cubic metre, might need to buy a warehouse to store it.

Iirc just recently they started giving out blue ticks to people with lots of followers, regardless of if they wanted it. Then this week they make it so you can’t hide them. It seems like a dim move - piss off the people who bring lots of traffic to your website, but actively decided to not get a blue tick, by forcing the tick on them.
If they didn’t leave beforehand, maybe this would make some people/orgs consider leaving?

The fish and chip co-op that used to be nearby was the best - trawlers parked out the back, super fresh produce, generous portions and reasonable prices.

A lot of the new systems can use battery powered cameras that are motion activated - they can last for a month+ on battery because they only turn fully on when they detect motion.

You’re right though - if it’s mission critical don’t rely on wireless.

Second the hybrid. I had a nice one - bronze face and the gold hands would move to indicate notification type etc. had some complications for step count etc. It looked great, I reckon it’d be even better with a small eink screen to show who the message was from etc. Kind of like the withings

Galaxy watch 5 pro would be best of the Samsung ones for that - lasts two days and does all the stuff. It’s got nothing on a Garmin for battery life though.

Nah apparently they are on good terms, it just wasn’t meant to be.

She left to have a solo career as ‘Emma Memma’. When she was with the Wiggles she had a solo show as Emma wiggle that little girls loved.
