It is a very small amount, but that is not very important because he won't even notice the drop on the balance.
Problem is that Fakebook pays "smartphone" makers to install 4 apps for him to keep following and steal everybody data. Oh and you can only remove the other 3 if you connect the phone to a pc and know and want to do that.
It sure is not, but compared to an Average Joe’s wallet, it’s a drop in a bucket for him. At the end of the day this price is the cost they are paying for doing business in free mode.
I first came to know about Gödel's incompleteness theorem while watching a video by Veritasium (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeQX2HjkcNo), it's around 30 minutes but a really good video. It's from the time before Veritasium became slop. The video talks about many things that are interconnected, like the halting problem, undecidable systems like the game of life, Hilbert's dream of a finite set of axioms to prove all mathematics, and, of course, a perfect explanation of Gödel's incompleteness theorems
Even if students can't use google search, they can still type the address of another search engine into the browser, so there's no problem.
Just type duckduckgo.com and get your search done.
In my current district all other engines are blocked. My daughter has permission to use her phone to utilize Kagi from her teachers, but she cannot use it on the school devices.
I've recently learned my daughter, with teacher permission, regularly has to use her phone (in her otherwise phone-free school) to get around blocks on basic stuff. Like in her math class the teacher regularly has them review techniques using YouTube videos (from an approved channel), but YouTube gets blocked every so often. Why? Very possibly no one knows. So she'll be sent to the front office where they can unlock her phone and she can use it to keep doing her work. It also came up recently when she was researching drug addiction for a paper, and all related search terms were banned.
It's a locked bag you put your phone in, but then you keep your phone (that you can't access) and they unlock it as you leave. It's popular for concerts and stuff too.
Interesting phenomena: kids will find an old phone, charge it up, and then that phone gets locked in the Yondr pouch (keeping their real phone unlocked). So now they have to spot check phones for cell service when they lock them.
Yeah, you have to be real careful. Our son has his own Chromebook and he once logged into it with his school account to do something. It installed the district's certificates and other blocks so that even his personal account couldn't do anything. We had to factory reset the machine.
The voice tone makes it clear that I'm not trying to be mean, unfortunates it's hard to convey such a thing in writing (that's of of the reasons emoji exist)
