They require that the kids use the Chromebooks and use Google accounts.

I have two ultrawides stacked on top of each other with two 16:10 in portrait mode on the sides aka the fat TIE fighter layout. My layout isn't in the chart, but I am certain it would be considered evil.

Stay on GrapheneOS as long as I can, then look for an alternative OS like trying Linux phones again and maybe they will be ready for prime time by then (hope springs eternal and all that).

I have always enjoyed Burning Chrome by William Gibson. It's OG cyberpunk sci-fi, it includes the Johnny Mnemonic short story the 90s movie was (loosely) based on.

Sorry, I don't recall the actual specifics now. I believe it was something like they made it a code violation to not have your home connected to the power grid and you just get fined and harassed until you "fix" it.

Yes, FL west coast.

I wasn't allowed to go off grid in my previous home where I had solar installed either. There was also a hard cap on the amount of solar I was allowed to install. Both of these rules were put in place due to lobbying from the largest power company in the region (Duke Energy in my case). It totally sucks,

yeah, I had to resurrect an old phone to go to a concert last week. It's possible I'll never go to one again. I wouldn't have bought the tickets had I known about that bullshit.

In case you're curious, the Nokia flip phone I got my daughter is the Nokia 2780 Flip.
