The only major fuckup was the failure of student loan debt cancellation, and the pullout from Afghanistan. But arguably the latter wasn't his fault, as it had been put in place before he was in office.
Hi. My school just started issuing devices last year, and they have this Lightspeed spyware on them. Last year I was able to remove it by booting into Linux from a flash drive and moving the files to a separate drive and then back at the end of the year. This year I have heard from sources that they have ways of detecting...
We are, by law, required to keep this information. However, unlike many other schools, we have a byod policy that allows students to use their own device to essentially bypass this 'surveillance'.
pressing X to doubt that you only help keep information on students that you’re required to by law.
If we were to store private information or data that falls outside the boundaries of the law, we would be subject to arrest for unlawfully retaining children's data. I want to emphasize to both you and OP that schools are legally obligated to store this information, and that I strongly advise against tampering with a device owned by the school.
I work for a school and I provision these types of devices. You do not want to modify or change anything about them, as it probably breaks your acceptable use policy. If they allow you to bring your own device, then do that. But do not change the device they give you in any manner. Just don’t use school property for things you want to be private. It works the exact same way with anything owned by any organization you may work for in the future. They own the device, they set the terms. And your excuse of 'it does not break policy' or 'it is not against the law' is ridiculous, as policy is intentionally broad for this reason, and the law requires you to not interrupt normal classroom activities. If the school lets you, bring your own device. Otherwise, tough luck, seems like you won't be able to play your games.

Ok, so I flipped out on #SocialMedia yesterday (meaning, I responded and engaged with someone that said something offensive). I blocked him but should've done that before typing that angry reply.
I think I'm on edge because the #Malaysia state elections is around the corner & feel more anxious than usual. So anti-China posts, which is almost like the anti-Chinese posts on right-wing Twitterjaya really triggered me.

Sorry for the dumb question, but, uh, how do you collapse comment threads? I'm a bit new here, and I really like it, but I don't want to have to scroll past a lot of subcomments and side-conversations to see the next top comment. I've tried clicking on the nice colors and stuff, but I can't seem to figure it out. Can someone help me please?
