gollark: They "block internet access" by stopping the browsers opening. However, we can access python for obvious reasons, and python has built-in HTTP libraries.
gollark: Talking of great exam systems, I had a computer science exam today at school, and they do them partly on computers (nobody wants to write code on paper).
gollark: Nobody seemed to care or notice when someone found that Intel's ring interconnect thing was usable for similar covert channel stuff *and* actual side channel attacks.
gollark: As the article says, they had a ton of similar issues *anyway*, probably from using existing ARM stuff.
gollark: I don't think the other ARM vendors are anywhere near them.
