I don't know who's teaching these kids and I want to congratulate both teachers and kids for an awesome education. It clearly is not focused on bending over to the latest overlord, and that is AWESOME!!!!

[โ€“] Kolanaki@pawb.social 81 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I'm with the Smartphone of Theseus guy. ๐Ÿคฃ

[โ€“] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

the answer is quite succinct though:

does it have the same number?

[โ€“] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 112 points 1 day ago (9 children)

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.

[โ€“] justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 15 hours 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

[โ€“] DaPorkchop_@lemmy.ml 14 points 9 hours ago

I can't believe they removed the photo of a dead pigeon captioned "An example of packet loss."

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

[โ€“] bluewing@lemm.ee 7 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

But it does work in an electrically challenged environment when the latency of the internet is infinite. But it can be hacked by 3/4oz #8 birdshot.

[โ€“] kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 10 hours ago

I have a suspicion most networking hardware would be affected by that

[โ€“] oakward@feddit.org 1 points 8 hours ago

Time to expand the protocol with encryption

[โ€“] iamkindasomeone@feddit.org 31 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] bluewing@lemm.ee 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I'm thinking 3/4oz #8 birdshot is the zeroday attack.

[โ€“] iamkindasomeone@feddit.org 2 points 11 hours ago

But then please don't return to sender!

[โ€“] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 20 points 19 hours ago (3 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.

[โ€“] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 5 points 17 hours ago

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

[โ€“] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

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

[โ€“] 96VXb9ktTjFnRi@feddit.nl 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

School shootings kill some, but smartphones destroy entire generations.

[โ€“] meliaesc@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

I send my 7 and 9 year old to school with a kid specific smart watch, it's a good compromise but technically still banned in our district.

[โ€“] anachrohack@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

We should ban phones for kids under 16 OUTSIDE of school

[โ€“] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 9 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

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