The Mysterious Benedict Society was my childhood. I swear I read the whole series like 8 times. Got me into mystery novels and I’ve loved them ever since.

Gotta check for shrinkflation

I wonder how much they paid their design team to use the surface blur tool on their logo lol

People are not making a big enough deal about stuff like this: the PFAS that leech into water are generally toxic to humans in concentrations of just 12 parts-per-trillion. That’s over 80 times more potent than cyanide.

And Samsung devices have a “Lockdown Mode” that can be triggered by holding down the power button which does the exact same thing (also disabling lockscreen notifications if they were on until you enter your pin)

The American way

There’s a bionic reader extension for Firefox that works on mobile, but obvs that only works on webpages

This is really cool!

Pretty sure it’s fine if they do as long as they don’t have chocolate or smth in them

This is what made me a data hoarder - lost one too many important documents and now I have 12TB of files on my home PC, mirrored across 2 drives and backed up to a 3rd in a fireproof safe. Everything from last year’s tax documents to high school homework assignments, it’s all there. I may have a problem…

I was told specifically to give them a second chance at the assignment for 50% credit. No disciplinary action was taken on the part of the administration with the justification that “if they really don’t know the material they’ll fail the final.”

So no, it’s just as bad in higher education here.

Omg he’s adorable

I teach collegiate intro programming classes, I can say it definitely seems that way. My office hours will be an absolute ghost town, nobody has any questions for me in class, and then when a project is due about 1/3 of the submissions are AI slop.

I know cheating has always been rampant, but I’ve never seen it this bad before.
