We just took off the security stickers with isopropyl and fingernail
scraping. No sign of damage and was pretty quick

Are these flashing tools that can help upgrade
soon-to-be EOL'd Chromebook
hardware? I read this article
<https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/07/24/built-in-software-death-dates-are-sending-thousands-of-schools-chromebooks-to-the-recycling-bin/>
today about how something like 40,000 computers at OUSD are going to
"expire" because Google doesn't want to support the hardware w/ their
ChromeOS.
Could they be updated w/ a secure Linux version?

Last Tuesday, Peter and/or Tom said they would
order all the flashing
tools we need for the laptops, so whenever those come in, anyone should be
able to flash the bios chips. Could incorporate that process into this
event idea... we only have a handful of unlocked computers still I think.

So, I had an idea that I wanted to run past
everyone: What if we invited
people (both within Sudoroom, and perhaps some of the creative/art groups
at the Omni) to redecorate our giveaway laptops? My reasons for suggesting
this are as follows:
1. It's fun
2. It's an opportunity to introduce other Omni people to Sudoroom
3. People who might not be comfortable coming to sudoroom for
technical stuff might be interested in a creative project, and find us
friendlier than they'd expected
4. A lot of the laptops just have IT stickers on them indicating
machine iDs and such, that don't mean anything anymore.
What do you all think? Would a weekend be good for this? Maybe a
Saturday?
