This seems like the future. Shit that just works with barely any maintanence or config. As the comments show, we aren't quite there yet.

- jonhohle 3y agoSchools have gone this route, specifically for students, and it has pluses and minuses. Offline mode is a thing, but does not work consistently. There is no conceptual distinction regarding why some apps work offline and some don’t. Certain things that nearly every computer can do, like say print a file, become impossible. Every app uses its own unique set of widgets and UI concepts. No two apps, even from the same company work consistently or have the same key bindings and capabilities (Gsuite is mostly consistent, but not with Gmail, and other Google apps, move off of Google and it gets much worse very quickly). On the other hand, my kids can log in on any device and have their environment (as spartan as that might be) the way they left it. Until they get to older grades they don’t have to learn concepts like folders and files (for better or worse). For businesses this seems awesome. Call center workers, for example, that get kiosk mode systems that run the CRM, KB, and nothing else seems great, basically like a more flexible POS system, but for every role.
- Affric 3y agoYep. Chromebooks for the call centre will come… may god have mercy on our souls.
