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.

Nah, before Chromebooks we'd vandalize the text books and desk.

Wouldn't the port get shutdown/disabled if you try to overload it?

the wise committee who designed such ports made the directly access the rest of motherboard and CPU

As I age I find myself feeling more and more like the cool step-dad or uncle.

Y'know I hate everything Chromebooks stand for. "You get 'em, kid. Now how about we get some pizza?"

Sadly, this makes me miss when people pretended to slip and fall at the grocery store so they could throw milk jugs in the air and make a mess.

Fuck chromebooks anyways, Google shouldn't be allowed to steal so much information about our youth directly from the devices they use at school. They should be using laptops with Linux installed on them, preferably Pop!OS to preserve the kids privacy.

I don't condone damaging school property, although I think it's a lesser evil to Google's privacy practices on Chromebooks.
