With open standards i have no problem integrating anything cross-brands. The only really hostile brands are preventing it to be honest(apple comes to the mind and so does nintendo). Brand loyalty mattered in the past, where it was the only

the best way i found so far is to install ancient version of win10, prior to creator's update, block it in group policy, and set up a registry key that your lan connection is metered. Upside: you have full control over when your update

There was a good, widely quoted paper that i read back in my uni days that analyzed crime rates all over uk in context of surveillance. It heavily depends on the location type - parking lots were way way safer with CCTV presence, but there

I disagree - i take pride in my laziness. Although i try to minimize the whole group's effort, not mine.

Then maybe instead of accelerating children down the same horrible route.. we could create separate tracks? I know that 'negative' (special needs) tracks are basically a disaster, but maybe positive (group gifted children together

And another counterpoint: Maybe let parents decide? Will they take upon themselves to supplement their child soft-skill learning? Right now we are forcing everyone into the same, horrible and inefficient route - which isn't correlated
