UPPER ALLEN TOWNSHIP, Cumberland County, PA --?

Over $36,000 dollars worth of computers are damaged at a Cumberland County elementary school after a child is caught urinating on them.

It happened on Thursday at Upper Allen Elementary School located along the 1700 block of South Market Street in Upper Allen Township.

Police say an 11-year-old boy urinated on a computer cart in the hallway which contained several MacBook's. :shifty:

All of the computers on the cart were damaged beyond repair, according to police reports.

The school put the loss at over $36,000 dollars.

The juvenile was turned over to the Cumberland County Juvenile Probation Department.

He is facing several charges including criminal mischief and institutional vandalism.

I'd think they could have washed away the urine -- but then, I never tried peeing on a computer. :laugh:

Tbf it's just the american way, it's it's broke don't repair it just chuck it out and get a new one.

Worked well in WW2, now-a-days it's an old stupid and very outdated system.

They're beat up old MacBooks, probably costs more to fix than they are worth, pitch em and get new ones

He was trying to cool them down, see they were overheating and he heard the news that google's servers at one of thier datacenters used **** water to cool the servers... so he thought he would be very helpful and cool them down in an eco friendly way.

My theory is some teacher "accidentally" dropped the laptop trolley down some stairs, and then got little Charlie in his class to pee on them to cover it up. Both have unlocked an achievement.

Though you may find some health and safety hygiene rule says that they must all be disposed of, even if they do still work.

    • Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
    • ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.
    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.
