    It’s a Chromebook. It certainly can’t operate any worse just because they washed it. ;)

    Well, if it’s completely dry before plugging in, it can definitely get rid of dirt. On hot surfaces it sometimes gets baked in and compressed air is too little

    Just put it in rice afterwards /meme

      I would suggest dumping it in a 99% alcohol bath afterwards if you’re gonna wash electronics in water. Alcohol will push out any water that gets stuck in any nooks and crannies and then it will dry without any residue.

        Well, using IPA instead of water would probably be a better idea in the first place. But beggars can’t be choosers, I guess ;)

    Boss: did you wipe all the laptops before the new year?

    Me: like… With a rag?

    If there’s one thing we learned from COVID, it’s that the best way to get rid of a virus is by soap and water.

    It’s not the power washing that gets tiring. It’s the lugging of Chromebooks in and out of the cooker!

    just logout the users and you dont need to worry about powerwashing unless the ssd is full.

    each user has encrypted home directory, removing the user removes the decrypt keys.

    if you’re worried about the NSA getting to the user dir then you’re on your own.

    I do system level development for Linux, Android, and Windows.

    I use rustc, clang, and MSVC depending on the target platform.

    I can build iOS and macOS but testing is impossible without an iPhone or macOS device.

    Admins: please add a rule against memes.

    OP: please post in a memes community, or create a new one if none fit your purpose.

    Thank you.
