134 How to Save the Chromebooks

This morning on CEP!

Nepalese youth, sick of starving while their rulers flaunted their wealth, used social media to overthrow and rebuild their government.
Chromebooks (those cheapie laptops your school district blew millions on) come with an expiration date. Surprise! If you keep using this past the date, you miiiight get viruses, or websites won't work anymore! At that point, they want you to throw them away, but I have found a solution that could save millions of dollars, computers, and kids.
They knocked down the 3G cell towers so we all had to buy new smartphones. But wait - what about all those connected cars? Those were just giant rolling smartphones with cellular antennae in them! You guessed it - they're hoping you put those cars in the garbage and buy new ones. Luckily, people aren't that stupid.
In good news, companies are now allowed to produce and sell older-style cars. You know, those ones that were actually repairable and enjoyable.
AI data centers are sucking up so much energy, that they're now having to find ways to shift their tasks to nighttime so they don't overload our power plants.
In the 1960s, cars were actually improved instead of anti-improved, and back then they actually cared about your loyalty, so they actually encouraged you to repair your old one instead of throwing it away. Imagine what a utopia that must've been!
