I'm with the Smartphone of Theseus guy. 🤣

That kid who asked about radios should be given a scholarship to a STEM degree. Also the kids who asked about using smoke signals and pigeons have mad creativity. The stock kid? Well he probably has more financial accumen than most Wallstreet punks.

The kid with the replacement dilemma? Forget philosophy. That is lawyer material right there.

[–] justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 hour ago

That reminds me of my previous work. We couldn't but PCs from our project budget, because they are classified along furniture (because they should outlive the duration of a project), but we can buy replacement/repair parts. So yeah... Enough replacement parts make for a new PC.

Thankfully, there's an official standard for using the internet with just carrier pigeons: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers

"...this technology suffers from extremely high latency."

[–] iamkindasomeone@feddit.org 13 points 3 hours ago

and is probably prone to cat in the middle attacks ..

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

You know, pigeons probably do have relatively high latency but I bet a carrier pigeon could carry at least three SD cards, meaning a pigeon has hella bandwidth.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 hours ago

Bandwidth is also impacted by distance though, across a school or town it would be incredibly high speed.

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago

This is why you have to factor in the airspeed velocity of your laiden and unlaiden ~~swallows~~ pigeons.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 22 points 12 hours ago

And high packet loss.

Banning cell phones in school while school shootings are a regular occurrence is top tier decision making

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

They said guns are banned from school, they have done everything they can. Just need to live with school and CEO shootings

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

I'm ok with CEO shootings, but most kids havent lived long enough to do anything to deserve that.

[–] scoobford@lemmy.zip 66 points 15 hours ago (13 children)

Students can keep a phone in their bag if they really need it. The fact that we ever allowed kids to scroll instead of paying attention in class is absurd.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 5 points 4 hours ago

I've been out of school for a decade now, but honestly at least when I was playing Hill Climb Racing, I shut the fuck up and didn't disturb others. Otherwise I'd just be blabbering with my friends and that's a much bigger issue for other students.

I graduated with pretty much all 5s and just one or two 4s. Our scale goes up to 5. So it's not like I was a dumbass who just refused to learn. You just can't give a fast learner with ADHD the textbook and expect him to not know all of the course material a week in. It's changed now, but my teenage brain was capable of processing enormous amounts of new information really fast (except subjects that were straight up memorization of facts, like history). I had literally nothing to do in class after the first week or 2 of a course.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 46 points 14 hours ago

I haven't been to school in a while, but we had smartphones when I did. And if we took up our phones in class we got called out by the teacher.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 15 points 14 hours ago

My kids school “boxes” phones if you’re caught using them or they interrupt class. They lock them inside a clear plastic case and let you carry that.

This avoids liability because the kid still has possession of their phone and can still see an emergency text or call. The can’t interact with the phone but can get a teacher to unlock if there’s a visible emergency text

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

What teacher allows kids to use their phones during class?

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (2 children)

Teachers are hamstrung by administration.

“You can’t write up a kid for watching tiktoks in class, you have to call their parent.”

“Okay what if the parent doesn’t answer/doesn’t care?”

“You can ask the kid to put it away.”

“What if they won’t? Can I take it away? Can I kick them out if they’re watching porn on full volume?”

“Nope.”

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 2 points 27 minutes ago

If not allowing phones during class doesnt work, why would kids stop using phones during class by banning phones during breaks?

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Why can't they be kicked out?

Real honestly. Fuck US education and fuck the pay teachers get handed as a "livable" wage. There is an education drought. It's insane it's now a crime to text your mother what you want for dinner.

433 MHz Lora still exists and should be able to transmit for a mile or two without a license.

Not the Ship of Theseus in the last one ☠️

Cell of Theseus

I want to see the answers on the right.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 224 points 19 hours ago (8 children)

Just have to zoom out a little, nothing to it.

[–] hakase@lemm.ee 81 points 18 hours ago (13 children)

From the last answer, it sounds like they would only need to turn in their SIM card.

[–] stochastic_parrot@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

How do you turn in eSIM cards?

I know that tone of "Let's talk."

Kid, if anything ever goes wrong that requires intelligence, you are now in a very short of list of kids to blame first.

What is your favorite brand of air fryer? It has come to my attention that air fryer's brought to school may be liable for confiscation. Regardless, how are you doing on this fine October morning?

I often forget that while young people aren't usually too wise to the ways of the world, that doesn't mean they're not fucking smart!

Woke to this reading a senior (high school) paper of mine 35-years later. Figured it would be childish. Holy shit! I wrote that at 17?!

Now if I could get the brain plasticity back and tack on the wisdom, I'd be a beast brain. :(

[–] CherryBullets@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 hours ago

I feel like my brain actively degenerated after my teen years

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 47 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

Best we can do is plastic in the brain. Take it or leave it
