  • They don’t make this easy to do. I convinced my boss to let me put Linux on some chrome books that we just use for presenters to read from.

    It involves disconnecting the battery and some other stupid shit that the boss wasn’t going to approve me doing.

    So they stayed on ChromeOS.

    People talk about Apple locking their shit down a lot, but I never had to open up a MacBook to install Linux.



















  • I didn’t finish high school until I was 35. I went back to college and needed to upgrade on mark. I had failed two classes needed to graduate due to a poor home-life. (I missed a lot of school and barely handed in work - had 35% in the class, got 75% on the exam - did not reach a passing grade. In both classes!)

    I only needed one of the two to get in to my program, but I just went ahead and did them both to get my diploma while I was at it.

    It was English and social studies that I needed to graduate, so it wasn’t too hard. Where I live you can challenge the exams for free if you’ve been out of school for more than two years. So I did a 2-day exam prep course (at $90 each) with a bunch of high schoolers before each one. Got 89% on each exam, got my diploma in the mail like a month later. 😎
