Philosophy moment
(lemmy.ml)
I'm with the Smartphone of Theseus guy. 🤣
the answer is quite succinct though:
does it have the same number?
So, if I switch my sim card to a totally different phone, which phone do I give up?

I don't know who's teaching these kids and I want to congratulate both teachers and kids for an awesome education. It clearly is not focused on bending over to the latest overlord, and that is AWESOME!!!!
That kid who asked about radios should be given a scholarship to a STEM degree. Also the kids who asked about using smoke signals and pigeons have mad creativity. The stock kid? Well he probably has more financial accumen than most Wallstreet punks.
The kid with the replacement dilemma? Forget philosophy. That is lawyer material right there.
500 kHz is outside the amateur radio bands. With a general license they'd be able to use 472 to 479 kHz. With only technician they could use Morse code (only) on 3.525 to 3.600 MHz.
Meshtastic in the US uses 918MHz, it’s good for text chat
That reminds me of my previous work. We couldn't but PCs from our project budget, because they are classified along furniture (because they should outlive the duration of a project), but we can buy replacement/repair parts. So yeah... Enough replacement parts make for a new PC.

Banning cell phones in school while school shootings are a regular occurrence is top tier decision making
Students can keep a phone in their bag if they really need it. The fact that we ever allowed kids to scroll instead of paying attention in class is absurd.
Haven't been in school for a minute but they would never allow us to just be freely on our phones so idk wtf you're talking about.
I haven't been to school in a while, but we had smartphones when I did. And if we took up our phones in class we got called out by the teacher.
I think the fact that most commenters seem to think kids should use cell phones in class confirms Lemmy is mostly children
When I was in school smartphones were kinda a thing but it was still early iPhone/Android days. The general practice was a powered off phone on one's person is fine, but phones that are in use/ringing could be confiscated for the remainder of the period. I think that was because the school didn't have a good method to handle too many confiscated phones in a day
“It’s fine if it’s in a bag and off or silent” has been cell phone policy in my experience (decades ago).

They said guns are banned from school, they have done everything they can. Just need to live with school and CEO shootings
I'm ok with CEO shootings, but most kids havent lived long enough to do anything to deserve that.
...most kids...
Most kids? (⊙_⊙)
Well, some of them are really annoying

Thankfully, there's an official standard for using the internet with just carrier pigeons: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers
I can't believe they removed the photo of a dead pigeon captioned "An example of packet loss."
"...this technology suffers from extremely high latency."
You know, pigeons probably do have relatively high latency but I bet a carrier pigeon could carry at least three SD cards, meaning a pigeon has hella bandwidth.
Bandwidth is also impacted by distance though, across a school or town it would be incredibly high speed.
And high packet loss.

I want to see the answers on the right.
Just have to zoom out a little, nothing to it.
I know that tone of "Let's talk."
Kid, if anything ever goes wrong that requires intelligence, you are now in a very short of list of kids to blame first.
From the last answer, it sounds like they would only need to turn in their SIM card.
How do you turn in eSIM cards?

Schools banning phones is one of the dumbest thing to do.
They want to control the media around the inevitable school shooting. The calls from inside while cops wait outside are not something the police or schools want to hear again.

This is pure gold
The whole FAQ: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rTAVSRU60ScQnQADF2WRAPKQFWRfYxM1B-mZCC1B_SA/mobilebasic
Some of them are pretty funny
Who needs phones when we have air fryers…
Also, it feels like "admin" doesn't necessarily agree with the new policy.

Not the Ship of Theseus in the last one ☠️
Cell of Theseus
I often forget that while young people aren't usually too wise to the ways of the world, that doesn't mean they're not fucking smart!
Woke to this reading a senior (high school) paper of mine 35-years later. Figured it would be childish. Holy shit! I wrote that at 17?!
Now if I could get the brain plasticity back and tack on the wisdom, I'd be a beast brain. :(
Best we can do is plastic in the brain. Take it or leave it
