I’ll believe that it’s a contender against existing quartz movements when they lay out the production costs for their design. You can’t consign discrete ticks to the dustbin of history until you can compete with a $3 SpongeBob watch from Malaysia.
If the execution was merely failing tasks and then revealing that the failure was planned, then I can understand why the teacher was pissed. The goal was obviously to get people talking, so if they didn’t actually talk about the material on their slides then they didn’t fulfill the project.
Eg: if slide 1 was revealed to be “Display a broken video” then OP should have then started talking about the importance of a broken video in a 5m presentation. Answer the question “Why is displaying a broken video important?”. Talk how no presentation is complete without a technical glitch, talk about how people can test their videos before presenting, etc.
I’m not saying that the idea wasn’t funny, but the goal was to present 5 minutes worth of material, not to shuffle awkwardly for 5 minutes and then reveal a joke.
The problem with chromebooks is that the base specs are pretty shit. A lot of them have 4 GiB of RAM and maybe 16GiB of disk if you’re lucky.
They were designed to be thin clients to connect students to the internet, and little else. Maybe they could be hacked into something useful, but I don’t think it’ll ever make a good PC. They were always destined for the landfill.
Meanwhile, the best thinkpads were quality machines back when they came out. IMO, that’s why they’re still so versatile today. Free software can’t fix bad fundamentals.

The scam is not downloading Signal. The scam will come later when they say “You just got the job! I will send you a check to purchase your remote work supplies”.
Do not deposit the check. At all. No matter what. It is not a legitimate check. It will never be a legitimate check. No matter how real the check looks, I guarantee that no company works like this! Do not respond to them. Block their number and ignore them for the rest of your life.
What happens is: The check is fake and you deposit it. By law, your bank is required to credit your account with the check’s value within a couple of days. HOWEVER: Just because your account gets credited the amount, doesn’t mean the check is fully processed. The scammer will tell you to buy WFH supplies from a “trusted vendor”. You are “buying” your supplies from the scammer, using the money credited to your account. Then, in 2-3 weeks, the bank will reject the check as fake. They will subtract the value from your account and you will have paid for your “supplies” using your own money. You will never receive the “supplies” or get your money back. The bank might even suspend your accound because of the fraudulent check.
A youtube channel that I follow actually released a video today about employment scams. In the section where he talks about red flags, compare them to the messages you just received. I bet you’ll notice some similarities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9g-y8wVzws
For anyone wondering, this was done on the virtual console version, so the floating point glitch that lets you skip the climbing pole from Bowser in the fire Sea is available.
The A Button Challenge still stands for the console versions.
Happened at my workplace. An phishing email went out to test how likely people were to click the link.
Anyone who clicked the link had to take phishing training. Anyone who forwarded it to our internal “hey this is a phishing email” service also had to take training… because the internal service would automatically click the link.
Firstly, discord is entirely the wrong medium for documentation.
Secondly, documentation should be at least as accessible as the code. That is to say, if I can view the code without creating an account for some service, then I should also be able to read the documentation too.
