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Worked well in WW2, now-a-days it's an old stupid and very outdated system.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

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

      Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.
