Comment on “Absurd”: Google, Amazon rebuked over unsupported Chromebooks still for sale

Can’t you still load new versions of ChromeOS yourself?
I never liked the “forced upgrade of your OS” anyway. Not for windows or Chrome. It was annoying when ChromeOS kept forcefully insisting I upgrade my Linux when I already had Linux exactly how I wanted it.

I imagine the IT person at schools might not be thrilled at the prospect of updating all Chromebooks in the school manually. On some schools, the IT guy might be a teacher doing double duty and simply might not have enough time to do it manually.

On my C202 I’d have to open the case, remove a jumper screw, flash a custom BIOS…
I don’t even wanna do that on one Chromebook, never mind 20,000 of them.

Yeah it sounds like a goddamn nightmare.
