Hi Sudoers:

Courtesy of Fremont Unified School District there are now dozens of expired Chromebooks at Sudo Room waiting to be liberated from ChromeOS and ready to accept a new operating system; this involves:
- putting them into developer mode
- disassembling to disable the bootloader firmware write protect
- flashing a new bootloader that overwrites the ChromeOS-locked bootloader
(See step specifics here: https://bit.ly/cbconvert, for more background on Sudo Room’s Chromebook Conversion initiative see https://bit.ly/cbsave)

Wanna help with this tonight at Sudo Room? If you’ve ever wanted a Linux laptop to explore with you’re also most welcome to convert one for yourself: we need to build out and broaden Sudo Room’s internal Linux experience in anticipation of Microsoft’s end of Windows 10 support in October (e.g. see https://endof10.org/.)

Hopefully see you later, -Peter
