An email with the subject “Tic Tok Trend”. It says:
Students and Parents,
We are aware of the Tik Tok trend involving students inserting small metal objects (such as paper clips, pushpins, pencil lead, etc.) into the charging ports of their Chromebooks. This can result in creating sparks, electrical fires, and/or battery punctures, all of which can cause serious injury and damage.
After this message, if a student chooses to participate in this inappropriate behavior, the student may be charged the replacement fee for a new Chromebook. Additionally, the student will face disciplinary action in the form of out of school suspension (OSS).
We are asking for your support in speaking with your child about the dangers of this behavior, as well as reinforcing the importance of treating school-issued devices with care.
A purple button at the bottom says “View, Appreciate or Reply”, and a note underneath states “Please do not reply to this email.”
Hey I did that when I was in elementary school. Was bored playing around and unplugged the ethernet cable from the back of the computer and plugged it into an open port on the wall.
QueueCue the whole network going down and me pretending I had no idea how that happened. We ended up getting a talk about not playing with the wires once someone figured out what happened 😅 never figured out it was me tho hahaHaha good for you! Our guy got the nickname Loopmaster for a couple of weeks. 😁
Nowadays the proper network switches used commercially can tell there’s a loop and isolate the ports until the loop is gone. Another loophole closed (pun very much intended).
If they turn it on spanning tree, it’s not always default on.
As far as nicknames go that one ain’t bad!
I remember thinking it was stupid that I could cause something like that, I chalked it up to my school’s IT infrastructure just being bad (rural Ontario) lol glad to know it doesn’t mess things up now, never tried it again after that!
btw, you wanted cue not queue, as in cue cards, that’s my cue, cue the music.
At least they didn’t use que
Por que?
I do occasionally queue the music, however.
Thanks fixed!
