The problem isn't that I will wipe my machine, but that, say, my toddler will (she has twice), or a well-meaning spouse who sees a problem with a messages that says how to fix it.
Yes, I can keep the machine put away out of reach, etc, but that's not necessary with any other laptop I have. The user login on my Windows 10 machine is enough to prevent my 3-year-old from button-mashing her way to a wiped drive. Not so on a chromebook.
- chamakits 10y agoYup. I had my mom over and while I was sleeping she was looking for a computer to use. She recognized the chrome book, because they have one at home. She opened it, saw a screen saying "press spacebar" and she complied. Was I angry at her? Yes. Very. But when I realized that even I could have easily made that mistake I stopped using the chrome book with crouton. Too high risk.
- mrlatinos 10y agoAh, gotcha. Don't know much about those troubles as a single student!
