Schools tend to have somewhere each student will be each day that they are known to a staff member, be it a 1st period teacher, a homeroom, or even the office. How hard is it to hand out a piece of paper to each student with their new password and then email the parents advising them to check backpacks?

The real take-away is that IT needs to be professionally managed and not just an add-on-duty, similar to the way schools handle nursing and teaching.

Yes, cancelling should be as easy as signing up.

Subscriptions also should automatically cancel or go into some sort of "no payment required" suspension if they were not used at all in the prior billing period (month, year, etc.), with no termination/reinstatement fee beyond the amount which they just got paid without delivering any services.

Depending on the company, this may be no purchases made, no items streamed, cable box remained offline, doorbell did not upload any videos, etc.

Chromecast != Chromebook

If you want AM, buy a GM. If you want Car Play or Android Auto, buy a Ford.

Allow one to add Full-HD or Ultra-HD to the basic plan (1 stream). Adding "features" should not be tied to "adding streams".

You laugh, but I do precisely that with my 2FA provider. The trick is that I have a printed copy of the QR code stored in my physical safe, along with a whole bunch of other "recovery" information and instructions for my next-of-kin.

We already "allow taxpayers to submit their returns directly to the federal government". Just print out the completed form and mail it in. The minimal next step would be to also allow PDF uploads. That would accomplish the "at no cost" part. Better would be to create a simple (e.g., CSV or JSON) file format that I could upload, and they could import without risk of image recognition errors.

Even better would be for the IRS to pre-calculate my taxes and supply a CSV/JSON/PDF/US-Mail download for my review and possible amendment.

Tax software companies could still make their money by helping me generate the electronic formats and by helping me find ways to improve on the IRS's pre-calculated taxes.

Cover the sushi plates with clear cloches. No need for high tech.

A reverse osmosis system filters out PFAS, lead, and most of the other things the EPA / Mass Media complains about.

"Nothing more than a peaceful sightseeing tour”

"Spending is fraction of what it claims" is always true. 2/1 is a fraction, as is 1/1.

"Shell’s actual spending on renewables is 13% of what it claims, group alleges" would have both been more brief and more informative.

Anything with an LED/LCD temperature display will have a computer/board behind it, including the microwave, induction cooktops and the Wolf oven on the http://brander.ca/range/ page that the grandparent linked.

A Tesla car weighs about as much as a Ford Explorer or an F150.

Some states do have increased registration taxes on BEVs due to the fact that they otherwise would pay no road-use taxes (typically collected per gallon of fuel).

If voting for things that should require additional endorsements, I would start with "Using Reverse".

Backup systems should only be used to practice recovery procedures and for actual recoveries. Validating theories and planned changes should be done on a test/dev/qa system. Otherwise you risk the backup system not being available when you need it.

DirecTV was my original "Cord Cutting" before streaming was a thing. The problem for DirecTV was that I had proven myself a non-loyal customer simply by signing up with them.
