Cast

gollark: Some classrooms have no/broken WiFi coverage for no apparent reason despite sometimes having access points *in them*, which is a problem since because something something COVID-19 teachers got laptops instead of using the NUCs in the classrooms.
gollark: Oh, and there seems to be an issue storing preferences so Edge will ask you to set it up again on every login.
gollark: Even when you actually log in it's unusable for a while more because Windows spends a while using 100% CPU for no apparent reason. You can hear the NUCs VRRRRRRRRing as loudly as they can.
gollark: In the last few years, instead of the reasonably functional setup where people's stuff was stored on a big on-premise fileserver, someone clearly decided to cloud™, and now everyone's files are on OneDrive and login takes several minutes and often breaks randomly.
gollark: The policy on using computers which people are meant to sign forbids you from "creating, running, downloading or [some other verb] executable files (programs)".
