Why do you react so angrily to disagreement?
Oh look, you're morally bankrupt and stupid. Already knew that, though.

Oh, THAT is the specific kind of creeper dipshit you are. I wondered. I do not want or need Jesus to save me from what Jesus is going to do to me (send me to hell) if I don't love him. Your god is the most pathetic abusive substitute for an abusive spouse ever imagined by sad little men.
Submission + - Princeton Scraps Honor Code For First Time In 133 Years Because of AI (the-independent.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Princeton University will soon require exams to be supervised for the first time in 100 years — all thanks to students using artificial intelligence to cheat. For 133 years, the Ivy League school’s honor code allowed students to take exams without a professor present, but on Monday, faculty voted to require proctoring for all in-person exams starting this summer. A “significant” number of undergraduate students and faculty requested the change, “given their perception that cheating on in-class exams has become widespread,” the college’s dean, Michael Gordin, wrote in a letter, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Princeton’s honor system dates back to 1893, when students petitioned to eliminate proctors — or an impartial person to supervise students — during examinations, according to the school’s newspaper, The Daily Princetonian. The honor code has long been a point of pride for Princeton. However, artificial intelligence and cellphones have made it easier for students to cheat — and even harder for others to spot, Gordin wrote. Despite the changes to the policy, Princeton will still require students to state: “I pledge my honor that I have not violated the Honor Code during this examination,” according to the Journal.
Students are also more reluctant to report cheating, according to the policy proposal. Students are more likely now to anonymously report cheating due to fears of “doxxing or shaming among their peer groups” online, the proposal says, according to the school newspaper. Under the new guidelines, instructors will be present during exams to act “as a witness to what happens,” but are instructed not to interfere with students. If a suspected honor code infraction occurs, they will report it to a student-run honor committee for adjudication.

... but they're also financially incentivized to find a black market buyer for all of the data they supposedly deleted.
Even you admit that it's likely that the data will be sold or resurfaced later. Let's be frank: the idea they wouldn't sell all or part of it or sell access to it seems awfully naive.

Actually, at the extreme scales, which is the total volume of the observable universe, the universe is quite homogeneous. As I recall, to the order of 1-in-10000 variance. This is why Inflationary cosmology was developed, to explain the distinct lack of lumpiness in the universe, which is what we would expect if the Big Bang alone were responsible.

It's Mickeysoft's fault they locked the computer for no reason. Locking a normal user's desktop computer (i.e. not one with additional security-related group policy) just because they weren't using it is both user-hostile and pathetic. It gives off strong "Notice me senpai" energy.

Insurance doesn't cover not getting to work. It might help pay for a rental car, but my insurance rental car amount won't completely cover even an econobox, even though I have an employee discount for car rental (my employer has a deal with one of the rental companies.)

It really doesn't matter what you think, what was stolen was worth a fuckton of money,
Anyone transporting a bunch of important data should a) have another copy and b) encrypt it. Does that excuse stealing it? No, but someone not actually trying to steal your data should only be responsible for stealing your HDDs, as intent matters. The value of the data should be irrelevant unless someone intentionally broke in and deleted your only copy. If not having your data leaked is important, you should be encrypting that data.
