The dumb thing about all this is, I was able to manage keeping my phone away just fine through high school. Hell, even kept it in my sock at one point so I’d know if I was getting a call (emergency situation) but it was still away and unused for the school day.

On prem is just a fire away from the same fate.
Potentially, assuming they weren’t stolen or sold off to a secondary buyer from a legit first customer. Problem is another one just pops up in its place.
I’m not saying don’t persue them, I’m saying it’s a game of state funded whack’a’mole.
Eh?
This is if you a) purchase the phone in some way that is associated with your Apple account, b) have cloud backups already in place, and c) opt in to the preload.
If any of those things aren’t in place, it wouldn’t have happened.
Now your likely assuming they can get into that backup, which fair enough would be a concern. But (if you believe them, which I admit is a huge if) according to Apple, they can’t actually get into that backup without your password. Meaning (again, if you believe them) this would be as safe and secure as shipping your own phone cross country after rebooting it.
My brain is unreasonably stuck on how solar shades on an asteroid could freeze the earth.
Haven’t they been working on this for months? I could have sworn I heard of this well over a year ago.
Duress profile code?
Your ISP likely has multiple datacenters. And even if they don’t, their provider almost certainly does. Your DNS ultimately comes from a datacenter. Your machines clock is likely syncing with a NIST that is, once again, hosted in a datacenter.
A datacenter isn’t some magical thing that only a few companies have, if you’re dealing with a large anything that hosts its own or others data, they more than likely have a datacenter.
Can’t bother to read the article?
You do realize that in C# at least, these compile to strongly typed variables? Barring a major change, such as migrating from 16 to 32 bit, you know what those value types are, you’re just not having to write them out. It saves you from having to type “LongDescriptiveTypeDescriptionBecauseSomeoneWasOverlyVerboseInTheirNaming” which is a small but nice thing to have. We arent talking about dynamics here.
Er… okay, yes. That would be quite the annoyance, but thats a bit of an edge case in this instance. I’d also wager that current implementations of IDEs would allow you to intelligently replace int with Int16/Int32/Int64 depending on the context before migration. I believe Visual Studio proper has that as an option in its code analysis and cleanup tool. You can also do the same for var => string typing if I remember correctly.
You’re suggesting every student out their phone in a bag, and use the honor system when taking it out?
