I read the article saying they were testing service changes on paying users without knowledge or explicit consent of the user, that the user had to test and determine why they perceived their sevice changed.

That is a dark pattern to inflict on users expecting consistent output.

The profiles work fine in Apple Classroom mode. Just a question of SSD space for the active profile(s) and a cloud source that can be used to swap them around if the SSD saturates.

This 'red line' was quite apparent around 10.14 when macOS and iOS were set on the collision course we see today in Ta-hoe. So much wasted visual space in the last 5 releases, making room for touch.

I doubt we'll see a pseudo macOS mode on mobileOS, but the mirroring for iOS in the last 2 major releases of macOS is just a jump to the left of local emulation.

I pretty much subscribe to your list, with the further caveat the router I got for Comcast service has a USBA network drive port that can run a 64GB thumbstick of content. A single piece of content can serve 5 devices this way before you start seeing buffering issues. Great for car trips.

I was learning dos command line on my grandfather's lap at 3/4.

Reminds me of the time I tried using pkunzip to expand a shareware demo and filled the C drive on accident.

You could be taught to use those machines respectfully, if you knew games were available.

What does a family computer with minimal internet access look like in the constantly connected modern era?

Would you care to quote the parts that highlight the incompetence you induced from the comment?

All I see is the parent watching their students teacher conduct class in a paradigm that wasn't trained, for the first time. Nobody liked the isolation period, but to base judgement on the system on those criteria is childishly petty.

Be curious to see where their student stacks up now. I know all ages were hit with learning and social issues due to the isolation period, but the 5/4yo entering the edu now are back on whatever 'normal' is considered.

"The trigger was Covid, but what really happened was suddenly millions of parents could directly see what their schools and teachers were like because we watched our kids work remotely all day for a year."

This kind of myopyic outlook that conflates the then-traditional instruction period to the remote instruction paradigm greatly cheapens every other point of your argument.

None of the teaching staff that had to adapt to that period of time were trained to make that experience 1:1 for the prior expectations and to use that as a basis to judge their entire ability is petty as fuck.
