    Perhaps it’s more like “Kids short-circuiting school issued chromebooks because of excessive surveillance.”

    …but probably not (or at least, not entirely) because many kids are dumb.

    source: was a dumb kid.

          Which also meant that they had to seal them in…
          Which means that you couldn’t clean them out when they got dirty.
          Fun times.

          You’re assuming that they’re ones that leave the school property. You’re also assuming that they are constantly recording audio and video, which being chromebooks we know they’re most likely not since they’re low spec low storage devices since they’re cloud based.

            Hi there, I’m currently in highschool. You don’t understand how school laptops work. There was a court case where a school laptop was recording from a child’s home - it actually happened.

            Also when you shut the screen it doesn’t turn off all the way. I’ve had times where I shut the screen, out it in my bag and 45 minutes later on my Bluetooth headphones I’ll head the windows notification sound.

            And just for clarity, do I personally believe that they are spying with audio/video? probably not tbh.
            Do they track EVERYTHING you do on the laptop? yes. Very obviously yes.

            This is also assuming there’s some mastermind at the school compiling all this data versus some teacher working essentially a second job dealing with broken chromebooks every day because kids are irresponsible. Suggeating this is anything but good old fashioned vandalism of school property is ludicrous, but it’s also an expected conclusion for here on Lemmy. Some of the comments in this thread are seriously unhinged.

            To sum it up, kids are dumb and always have been and it’s nothing more than that.
