 Apparently Google caught wind of @ca83e289's efforts to repair Chromebooks and decided to head him off. 😁  https://blog.google/outreach-initiatives/education/automatic-update-extension-chromebook/

 @df8b3c8c Hahahah this is great!  I'm still gonna jailbreak em to make them more useful.

But since I can't get to all the chromebooks, I applaud this!

 @Joshua Austin :java: :rust: @Mike :nixos: The fact that they'd just let these die is something no company should have the right to decide.  Everything should be made with the ability to last and be repaired easily.  We need like a new department that a company has to justify why something legit can't be repaired and needs be be tossed, or why it has to be hard to open and fix.
