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

Another two judge dredds?

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.

Oceanic crust is heavier, denser, and composed of different rocks than continental crust.

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

McDonald’s USA has free soft drink refills.

And make public transport free with your ticket. Works wonders here (Brisbane)!

They have near constant bus service on game night from the hub a couple of suburbs over - catch a bus to the hub and then straight on to the stadium.
Or bus / drive to the train station and train in - whatever your want.

Yep - that’s something we tend to do well:

Melbourne Cricket ground (100,000 capacity)

Adelaide oval (53,000 capacity)

Brisbane Gabba (42,000 capacity)

Sydney Olympic stadium (83,000 capacity) (there are some carparks just out of view, but not many)

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!

Needs sound

Sense of scale
