There are few things quite as emblematic of late stage capitalism than the concept of “planned obsolescence”.
Just install debian or something.
you think school districts pay their IT departments enough to deal with that shit? If they even have one, at least here in Texas a lot of schools just hire random dudes to come in every so often
yea apparently they only have part-time teenagers lol
Wouldn’t surprise me in the least
The schools would probably get sued out the ass.
Why sued?
Modifying registry software is oftentimes against contract when these schools purchase the laptops wholesale from the manufacturer.
I see
Even if you manage to get the chromebook into developer mode and put a new BIOS to install Linux through USB theres something baout the chromebook firmware that doesn’t like it. I installed Zorin on my personal chromebook and after 2 weeks the hard drive got randomly wiped.
It could also just be Zorin since somehow despite literally just being an Ubuntu reskin it manages to be buggier than pure Ubuntu.
If anyone wants a good guide on how to this go here this also uses coreboot which is slick
Capitalist ingenuity.
Is there somewhere that you can pick-up these “death date” laptops?
eBay soon probably, search “not working or for parts.” Or they’ll do the asinine thing and throw them all away.
Capitalists use planned obscelence and perceived obscelence to manipulate market demand and encourages wasteful spending. These is against liberalism where business goals should align with market demand and not that other way. The wasteful spending also allow profits from free riding over former European colonies and child slavery and inheritance thief from Indian Residential fake schools that supposedly ended in 1998 and continued later in secret. They claimed that these rigged market system is good when they are not blaming Communists for allegedly commiting the acts.
Most efficient economic system
