I think this is an amazing project but isn't there a better alternative to chromebooks? Maybe used laptops, can usually get leased business laptops for a similar price, and they don't actively spy you at all times.

I've thought about making a twitter to follow some InfoSec/Cyber-security people but I know I'd get caught up in the wider twittersphere. I always found it amusing that BBC news would report people getting upset about X on tw

Graduated from school last May, had a week before I started a full-time job (did that for 2 months then landed where I am now). I learned it's difficult to have a good social life when work + commute takes ~50 hours a week (and that of
