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!!!!

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

the answer is quite succinct though:

does it have the same number?

So, if I switch my sim card to a totally different phone, which phone do I give up?

[โ€“] [email protected] 119 points 1 day ago (11 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€“] JackbyDev 1 points 5 hours ago

500 kHz is outside the amateur radio bands. With a general license they'd be able to use 472 to 479 kHz. With only technician they could use Morse code (only) on 3.525 to 3.600 MHz.

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€“] [email protected] 17 points 21 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."

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€“] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

Time to expand the protocol with encryption

[โ€“] [email protected] 22 points 1 day 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.

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

School shootings kill some, but smartphones destroy entire generations.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 21 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€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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

Students can keep a phone in their bag if they really need it. The fact that we ever allowed kids to scroll instead of paying attention in class is absurd.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago

Haven't been in school for a minute but they would never allow us to just be freely on our phones so idk wtf you're talking about.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago

I think the fact that most commenters seem to think kids should use cell phones in class confirms Lemmy is mostly children

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

When I was in school smartphones were kinda a thing but it was still early iPhone/Android days. The general practice was a powered off phone on one's person is fine, but phones that are in use/ringing could be confiscated for the remainder of the period. I think that was because the school didn't have a good method to handle too many confiscated phones in a day

[โ€“] [email protected] 56 points 1 day ago

I haven't been to school in a while, but we had smartphones when I did. And if we took up our phones in class we got called out by the teacher.

I want to see the answers on the right.

[โ€“] [email protected] 252 points 1 day ago (24 children)

Just have to zoom out a little, nothing to it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 129 points 1 day ago

I know that tone of "Let's talk."

Kid, if anything ever goes wrong that requires intelligence, you are now in a very short of list of kids to blame first.
