The OP is wrong.

Parents have a “duty of care”. That means they can enforce rules which are for the wellbeing of their children, even apply punishment - without having to take the issue to Court.

Schools have a “duty of care”. That means that for an incident which in the public which would involve the Court system - such as assault - punishment can be executed by the school wihout a Court order.

“9 Linux Distros that don’t even pretend to work”

But it doesn’t work. The phone just says “NO NETWORK” and you can;t make any calls,

You can make emergency calls on a phone with an expired SIM card whose phone number has been re-used. So that would not be traceable to the number, but they can still triangulate your position.

And then hardly anything will work, so whats the point ?

If your system doesn’t have a TPM chip, you can still emulate it in softtware, but then everything will run like molasses, so again basically poitnless.

Its to stop idiots downloading cat videos and infecting the system with ransomware.

if your sys admin keeps TPM on - and they would have to be nuts to turn it off - you’ll be opening an account.

Sure, but then pretty well nothing will work, so what’s the point ?

Well they only just dropped support for Win7 and that came out in 2009.

Um no.

The foetus is first formed in the uterus and then the hen lays down the calcium layer around it.

So it depends on whether you consider a foetus a chicken or not.

Remember (if you can) the classic drag-and-drop: You’d mouse over to a file or a folder, click to slide the icon to the trash, then release to drop it in.

Did anyone everr do that though ?

It overheats it.

The water in a microwave when boiled forms small pockets of gaseous water whose temperature is more than 100 deg C, so it basically cooks the guts out of the tea.

There’s still no way to log into Nautilus as root user from Nautilus.

So you can’t just double click on an icon to decompress it below the home folder.

And then people will give out this long series of terminal commands…hello, I said FROM NAUTILUS.

I’m actually quite okay with using the terminal, the problem is almost nothing invoked from the CLI actually works properly. If the programmer can’t be arsed making a skin, they generally can’t be arsed with proper playtesting either.
