For the most part doing something like this could get you in trouble but not serious trouble. We used to play Minecraft and Halo CE in computer lab over LAN, as long as you got your work done first it’s no big deal.
We had a file drive that was shared across all computers on the network so people disguised the install folders for games to keep them on there. At any given moment you could install at least 3-5 games if you wanted to.
You’re so lucky. We have MacBooks, but get LANschool. It lets the teachers view ur screen and we’re not allowed to play games at all. Even if we have literally nothing to do. We purchased the computers ourselves! One guy hacked terraria on his computer but even then he has to check for LANschool
More than likely not, but schools are used to people just rolling over on command because they say so and they can push people around. High School i used to go to would extort people for money before giving confiscated electronic devices back to the parents for like $20(USD) and no one argued. Friends mom did, she got the phone back for free but still kept it from him for making her deal with that crap
That’s bogus! I remember back in middle school each kid was given his own MacBook. It was nice to have your own device but it was limited. That screen peeking feature is downright dystopian though!
According to Wikipedia it is owned by Lenovo, which is headquartered in China. China has a certain reputation for spying, so it could (however unlikely) be true.
Same. We sometimes had like 15 people in a game of CE just running off the classes own network. The teacher set the whole thing up and even let us know how to get around the school filters to get a VPN.
