lmao the creditors cant go with a class action because: "in order to have relied on Karpeles’s misrepresentations, each member of the class must have read the Terms of Use, or at least have been aware of the relevant provisions of the Terms of Use, and that the relevant Terms influenced their actions. Absent a presumption of reliance applicable to the class—and no such presumption existed in this case—reliance is individualized" rofl https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=fc84ae15-0e18-4b53-afc2-927af6976166

Pulcinella posted:Digital whiteboards were going to revolutionize education. lol i remember having to fight with those when i worked for a school district in the 2000s i remember one support call we had someone whose mouse was somehow "stuck" on a part of the screen. went over and found that they had a smartboard, and there was a chair with a coat draped over it near the smartboard, and the coat was brushing up against the board so as to make the board register constant contact there, hence the mouse pointer being stuck in that location Pulcinella posted:It looks like now-a-days the more “high end” manufacturers like SmartBoard have turned to selling what are effectively 55” android tablets. lol that makes total sense let me guess, there's a whole panoply of lovely overpriced education apps they're pleased to sell for them

actually the biggest hassle i ever had wasn't with the smartboards themselves, it was when the high school decided to purchase and permanently mount projectors for them in a bunch of classrooms the facilities dept installed the mounts, electrical outlets, and ran the conduit for the VGA cable, but we completely forgot to tell them we needed VGA cables run through them. so i had to go pull VGA cables through the conduits. the conduits were juuuuuust wide enough to accommodate those big blocky square VGA plugs, which meant the cables would usually get stuck at the 90 degree turns in the conduit. i figured out that if - after tying it to the base of the plug - i taped the pull string so that it ran flat along the length of the plug, it usually made it easier to get the cable through. but it was still usually like 20 minutes of grunting and swearing while standing on top of a student desk to pull the drat cable along. kinda curious if they still have projectors in those rooms

oh wow, so they weren't even getting used. i guess i'm not too surprised by that, tbh. the smartboard software was always just another program for overworked teachers to try to learn how to use effectively. there were some that loved it and really dove into it, but i think for a lot of teachers they just didn't provide enough benefit to justify the time investment

when I was teaching I just liked to put the projector over the regular white board to be able to draw arrows and underlines to explain how loops and conditionals work. I did draw on the wall a few times and students got in trouble until I realized what the fuss was about. same thing happened when I pasted googly eyes all over the pictures of govt officials when working late nights. massive witch hunt to find the nefarious student vandals and it was just me all along one of the classrooms had that smart board garbage and i tried it out a few times but it was always losing calibration.

typical; students not doing well, wonder why that is. must be because we aren’t using smart projector boards, not because teachers are overworked and underpaid and don’t have resources like paper and chalk buy the smart projector boards.

like I'm not even kidding to answer the question "what is this user allowed to do?" There are at least 4 different sources of permission data some of which overlap and take data from each other and the system that "controls" it is hot garbage from 2009 that still requires IE compatibility mode and has features like "if you request multiple roles, it will use 'lowest of' to work out what approvals are needed" so if you request "admin" and "basic bitch" it'll only check for basic bitch approval

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:oh wow, so they weren't even getting used. A projector and a document camera were incredibly helpful, but you don’t need a smartboard to do that. I’m impressed some of this poo poo is actually getting thrown away. My first district had a warehouse where old technology would be entombed until the end of time. You see it can be hard to publicaly dispose of things ina school district. Trying to dump some old windows 95 tower PCs? Better do it in the dead of night or someone will complain to the media about how the school district is wasting tax payer money throwing away 25 year old computers. EdTech is a wasteland even compared to the rest of the tech industry. Every edtech startup thinking they are creating some Bret Victor style future of education when they are just reinventing Blackboard for the 50th time. Either that or Uber but for tutoring. The big textbook companies have even managed to go backwards. In the late 90s/early 2000s textbook companies would produce supplementary software to accompany the textbook. Usually multimedia with videos, pictures, Flash games and interactive experiences, etc. Now they struggle to put a PDF online and fix the errors in the online quiz. (E.g. “Calculate the answer with the correct number of significant figures” but the person writing the quiz for the textbook company got the wrong answer so the quiz marks correct answers as wrong).
