I respect it. But $650 is more than I'm willing to pay for a mobile device I'm guaranteed to drop numerous times.
I think I got my Pixel 4a for $300-400 years ago and it's still kicking ass. And I don't feel terrified when I drop it. Shave a couple hundo off this phone and I'll buy it.
They name it something cool as hell like DEMON CORE and they expect people NOT to touch it?
I don’t see why this doesn’t work anymore. Do parents have no control over their kids anymore?
I think you just answered your own question.
Clearly we've reached the stage of physically taking and locking their phones up during school hours because verbal threats weren't working. If parents had control of what their kids were doing when not in close proximity to them, this wouldn't be happening.
Lot of dumb adults out there these days. I think a lot of parents would be on the "but I need to contact them in case of emergencies" and "you're threatening my child's rights" boat if they just floated the idea of suspension for phone use. So now we're at the physically confiscate them upon entering like contraband stage.
Can anyone out there help me understand why a temp-use cell phone locker is $180,000?
Corruption.
I mean I've seen a lot more money wasted on much dumber shit.
Kids aren't going to learn if they've got handheld social media internet gaming consoles with them in school. I wouldn't have. They're not going to willingly put them away for hours every day. I wouldn't have. So.....lock the fuckers up. These kids need to be educated so I'm not being taken care of by drooling Idiocracy background actors when I'm in end-of-life care. There's way too much stupid going around already.
To be clear, 180k is too much. I'm just saying I agree with locking the goddamn things up.
Cuz tech didn't make our lives better in the ways we most wanted it to and, as an IT professional, it's a stressful field where you endlessly rapid fire solve other people's technical problems and most IT employers are dogshit and will replace you in a heartbeat with no loyalty whatsoever.
I'm not a big fan of adapting to fascism, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
There's so many games out there now and my backlog is so extensive that I honestly don't care waiting years to get a game on super sale or straight up free.
Can't choose to not pay for food or medicine, champ.
That would be fine and dandy if tariffs were only for frivolous purchases. Things you could do without. But they weren't. We were FORCED to pay higher prices for thing we NEED due to companies raising the prices due to illegal Republican tariffs.
We were robbed. Again. Period.
And anyone who was robbed deserves compensation.
Just wondering how many more times in my life I'm going to watch dipshit Republicans make dipshit moves that require dipshit bailouts that aren't for the people paying for the dipshit bailouts.
