Why is the tech doing this "unboxing" in the first place?

Hot dang! Turns out one can post a comment from a Lemmy instance to a Peertube instance 😲

They're hard shell cases for laptops like the one in the first seconds of the clip. Insurance required this bare-minimum protection for the laptop fleet upgrade, before deploying the laptops. The cases are not available in bulk packaging, so they are all being removed from their full retail packaging.

Why even bother with the cases... those laptops will be completely wrecked anyway if they are given away to students for free.
