Reading about a Pennsylvania High School that rolled out linux laptops to students.
Pretty awesome to hear about schools doing things like that.https://technology.pennmanor.net/2014/01/15/welcome-to-the-laptop-machine/
That is freakin awesome.
Lancaster is like 30 minutes from where I grew up.

That's really weird my wife graduated from Penn's Manor High School but that was near Pittsburgh.

That's great! I drive by that place almost every day. Their technology director is a cool guy. I interviewed at that school district right out of school.

Ubuntu 13.10 though... Why such an old release?

Probably becuase that's what they were made with and sat in a warehouse for a while.
They just need to be upgraded. Seems like a good use case for Salt/Ansible for hte school to manage them. Unless they are just giving them out as-is. I didn't read very far.

The school system setup a software deployment system which installed specific things(no details provided) but no mention of upgrading the OS.

Just had a good conversation with the Texas Wage board
They are ready to go after my former employer who owes me a small fortune; and, here is the best part, they recommended that I have a chat with immigration and customs about what they've been doing here in the US and maybe have their border crossing options limited (e.g. welcome to this small but comfy holding cell to hang out in while we consider letting you leave.) -

They officially let me go a few days ago (well technically, they can't let me go, my contract says a month's notice) but they gave me notice a few days ago because I demanded my paychecks.
As you can imagine, firing someone for asking for their paycheck doesn't go over well to the Texas wage board.
Right now they are looking at...
- Not having paid wages.
- Running a scam (state gov't recommend I turn them in to immigration).
- Not paying their taxes (that's between them and the IRS, but this will flag them.)
- Unemployment claims.
- One month's pay for notice.
- Possibly claims for intent to defraud.
- Wrongful termination, since it was not an at-will position.
- And always the possibility of a discrimination investigation.

Oh I'm going to. They are doing anything to stall and avoid paying. This isn't going on for much longer.
