My 17 year old high school senior told me that the suckiest thing about their school-issued laptop is lack of Notepad++. I teared up and my hacker dad skillboard got another achievement! I told him that it has a portable install and this weekend he's getting it on via Gdrive upload. Nothing will stop better editor from showing up on school machine!
- extraduder_ire 2y agoSimple free software tools like notepad++, 7zip, and vlc should really be pre-installed on any school or work device like that, especially ones where you can run arbitrary executables. The amount of random malware run/installed by non-technical users falls off a cliff when they don't have to solve these problems for themselves.
