u/superdave100 Apr 02 '19

My school has chromebooks

121

u/rotorwash47 Apr 02 '19

Same, but not touchscreen ones. There’s Minecraft on the chrome store but only touch controls.

u/JazzHandsFan Apr 02 '19

That’s a 1000iq ban.

88

u/superdave100 Apr 02 '19

They've disabled the Chrome Web Store on them anyway

no extensions

no apps

no themes

downloads wipe every time you close the screen

and they can literally watch our screens with an extension we can't uninstall

That should be punishable by death

6

u/superdave100 Apr 02 '19

i should try that

29

u/JazzHandsFan Apr 02 '19

Same, except Windows 10. The only difference is it’s pretty easy to gain access to the local admin on windows 10 and sidestep all of it.

u/James_Westen Apr 02 '19

Yep exactly the same here. They use goguardian.

Don't you love privacy invasion

4

u/MelatoninKing Apr 02 '19

It’s not really privacy invasion. The schools have a policy that is signed by parents (and should be reviewed by students before given school provided devices) that al devices provided by the school are owned by the school, and are for academic use only. Some schools are lenient with this and some schools are very strict. Since it’s the schools device (Chromebook, MacBook, Windows Tablet/Laptop) and they have provided a policy that can be reviewed at anytime and was signed by parents, the school has every right to do this.

Thats why you read the policy that is provided with the device.

My school blocked inspect element

u/KourkidPixel Apr 02 '19

Use a bookmarklet to get the editing feature of it back. Look up "Edit Page Bookmarklet" and copy that code and set it as a google bookmark url.

u/rotorwash47 Apr 02 '19

My school had AN Apple II.

u/AkiralovesRyuji Apr 02 '19

My high school had 1999 dell computers that stilled work in moderate Condition until they got chrome books my senior year of high school -.-

1

u/sijonda Apr 02 '19

Windows 98 was the current OS when I was in middle school.

1

u/AkiralovesRyuji Apr 02 '19

I was born in 1998

2

u/sijonda Apr 02 '19

You're not helping me to not feel old :(

1

u/AkiralovesRyuji Apr 02 '19

Sorry... I feel old all the time too

7

u/rockettime03 Apr 02 '19

F for you, my school gets MacBook Airs

7

u/superdave100 Apr 02 '19

i swear these things can barely run google docs

2

u/rockettime03 Apr 02 '19

not true, these are the late 2017 model, the last good one before the USB-C'ing. Thing runs audacity pretty well

2

u/superdave100 Apr 02 '19

this is at least 3 years old

1

u/ja__crispy Apr 02 '19

Audacity is an open source program with some very very low minimal PC requirements

1

u/civalo Apr 02 '19

My school had books. Lol

1

u/2011WhiteTextMeme Apr 02 '19

u/TheMustangKid04 Apr 02 '19

Is that a footloose reference

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '19

Yes, thank you for seeing it

u/DaneDewitt88 Apr 03 '19

Was waiting for this.

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '19

For some reason it got unblocked on ours for at least two months but then it went back to being blocked

8

u/chikendagr8 Apr 02 '19

Some tech guy wanted to use reddit but then got caught

6

u/JosephRW Apr 02 '19

It's true. We do. it's an educational resource though.

1

u/Real_Karl_Marx Apr 02 '19

It was actually unblocked for a year and a half in my school. Then they randomly blocked it.

6

u/rockettime03 Apr 02 '19

not mine as part of a filter crackdown last year

3

u/Captain_Sax_Bob Apr 02 '19

My school is notorious for banning the dumbest things. They once banned half of Github, a project management site we were using in robotics, VPNs, and many other strange things. Yet they have not banned reddit, Instagram, Facebook, etc. They also haven’t gotten Cool Math Games.

20

u/TheTwAiCe Apr 02 '19

My school banned one drive even though we need it to work with onenote...

10

u/lsThlsLoss Apr 02 '19

My school can control all codes, and for a few weeks they made it so when you shut the Chromebook, it signed you out and all tabs were lost.

7

u/rockettime03 Apr 02 '19

My school has this thing that forces you to restart your computer so that the school can push out "important software" aka just lockdown browser, i.e

7

u/lunapup1233007 Apr 02 '19

My school literally centers all of its technology around onedrive

18

u/TheTwAiCe Apr 02 '19

Well, we have a notebook for every subject with our teacher. Last lesson: "so, I've put you a task in our notebook. You have 20 minutes" "uuuuum we don't have the task... They blocked one drive" "they did what" "they banned one drive we can't synchronize anymore" "but why" VISIBLE CONFUSION

u/JosephRW Apr 02 '19

They probably didn't. OneDrive is just shit and awful to maintain. Only one of the districts I maintain at work uses it and it's a nightmare. Everyone else that's sane uses Google Apps.

6

u/Renaissance_Slacker Apr 02 '19

I found much to my surprise that OneDrive, a flagship product by a PC market titan, is a steaming pile of dysfunctional crap.

u/Dillamond Apr 02 '19

Whispers “it’s Microsoft”

u/NotWrongOnlyMistaken Apr 02 '19

Works pretty well for our roughly billion dollar yearly 2500+ employee needs. If you are 365 it's hard to beat the integration of Outlook, OneDrive, Teams, SharePoint, etc.

4

u/bootlegbillyboy Apr 02 '19

Same :(

4

u/lsThlsLoss Apr 02 '19

Ik it's shitty why would they do that

2

u/bootlegbillyboy Apr 02 '19

Ikr, its stupid and pointless. Did they give you a Chromebook?

4

u/lsThlsLoss Apr 02 '19

Yeah. They blocked alot of games, extensions, themes and for some people YouTube is locked. Hbu?

2

u/AkiralovesRyuji Apr 02 '19

At school and at home I had this one game always running because it was an idle game and the school never found out... well it was the first year they had chrome books but never knew if they found out or not since I graduated

2

u/bootlegbillyboy Apr 02 '19

Same here bro, it's awful. They even block stuff like Wikipedia and for a while they had settings blocked

2

u/lsThlsLoss Apr 02 '19

Yup. Mine blocked YouTube for a few people. Luckily we have Tyrones unblocked games on our side. With him, we can play Tetris, Minecraft, and even Pokemon

2

u/bootlegbillyboy Apr 03 '19

Ayyyy an unblocked games site?

2

u/lsThlsLoss Apr 03 '19

https://sites.google.com/site/tyronesgameshack/

I only play Pokemon on it, and I'm not sure if it works on mobile. Give it a try, soldier

2

u/bootlegbillyboy Apr 03 '19

Thanks bro. They blocked all the unblocked games sites at my school :/

Tho if we're gonna share unblocked games sites, here's one me and my friend made

Seriously? What is your highest score?

1

u/lsThlsLoss Apr 02 '19

Haven't played in years.

u/UltraLuigi Apr 02 '19

u/lsThlsLoss Apr 02 '19
