I should've added - I'm a teacher and make regular use of inking, classroom integration in OneNote, teams assignments to word for pen comments, excel macro workbooks, SharePoint syncing etc..

Unfortunately web wrappers for office lose to many features.

Plus (on my last look) the cameras on my surface pro would never work, so that's another bust.

That's incredible that a) it's had that much damage and b) it's still going!
Any estimates on lifespan left of the wheel/tyre?

As much as I'd like to use Linux, I use windows because I need OneNote, Teams and Office.

Here in Australia they fill it and give it to you, no refills.

McDonald's USA has free soft drink refills.

The venues were pretty cool I thought. Nice break from 'generic sport stadium A'.

There's other ways - write it into the conditions of loan that it's not the school's responsibility to monitor student use when at home.

There are solutions that allow monitoring only on campus - both the monitoring person and the student need to be on-site for the software to contact a licensing server. No server contact=no monitoring.
And never bring 'AI' into it.

Like doing homework in your room? Where now the monitor can turn on your webcam without you knowing and watch you in your personal space?

OK so that's nuts they installed a private 'AI' monitoring software that they have no oversight or control over. From the article, they can't even see what it flags as inappropriate - it just flags and deletes.
A school admin should never hand over that much control!

This is so frustrating when trouble shooting - trying to re-find where that one settings page was because you opened another.
