Okay, I'm just coming out of the shitter of the Australian education system now. In year 9, students across my country received these free laptops made by Lenovo - pretty decent for basic tasks, not good for games or any of that but whatever.

At the end of a student's schooling life, they give you the laptop. It's a free fucking laptop. But as soon as you sign your name and download the clean OS, free of all that government blocking shit, everything goes to hell. That Windows 7 security upgrade that fucked up a bunch of computers? Hit my shitbook twice. Had to take it in for re-imaging twice. And now some shit's happened again. and I can't fix it.

There's no disc drive on these. No fucking disc drive. I can't burn a Windows 7 disc to repair my system, because I can't run it on the laptop. Instead, I have to go through all this trouble to install an ISO onto a USB drive and run that to hopefully fix that problem. Whereas it'd take about half an hour if that to burn a disc, the process of repurposing a USB drive to run this ISO has taken half an hour - for ONE HALF of it to be scanned for bad sectors. It's a free laptop, but is it worth doing all this bullshit just to keep it running? Would it have been so hard to add a disc drive, even a fucking CD drive, in the event of a fucking boot failure?

Fuck Windows. fuck the Australian government. Fuck Lenovo.
