I changed ISPs recently and had to change some of my network gear which meant moving to a new subnet. I’ve always used DHCP, there isn’t anything too unconventional about my setup. Everything, laptops, phones, smart home devices, etc. has moved over to the new subnet fine. My kids’ Chromebooks (from school), however, continue to be attached to the old subnet. I’ve tried “forgetting” the network, rebooting, flushing caches, nothing works. I continue to believe Chromebooks are shit! 03-26

This is so true: If you think woke is the problem, try reading the US Constitution and amendments. Really read them. Pretend you didn’t know it was the Constitution. One woke idea after another. Basically if you don’t believe in woke, you’re in the wrong freaking country. 12-28
