gollark: Also, they use Raspberry Pis for some programming education, but connecting to the package repositories they need for updates is blocked by the filtering proxy.
gollark: Sometimes they fail to PXE-boot or something like that and are just stuck displaying a black screen with some error messages on it.
gollark: In my school there are a bunch of displays with "information" on them (mostly news headlines and promotional images of the school) which apparently run Windows, because they frequently seem to undergo updates and sometimes are stuck on a blank desktop (do they not know how to make stuff autostart?).
gollark: Also since integers are nicer than decimal values.
gollark: Because bigger numbers → more better.
