gollark: This really vindicates my decision to write code which never allocates memory.

gollark: Basically every classroom has a giant 4K touchscreen display with I think some sort of limited built-in computer system (I don't know how they can afford this), and they all get wired to rather outdated NUCs and used at 1080p with the touchscreen mostly ignored.

gollark: We always had smart boards and such but they generally got underutilized.
