16.04 supports Snaps, uses X by default, and will be around long enough that snaps will be available for people to download and use within its lifetime, right? If that statement is true, then there is a security risk.
By the time desktop applications start to be packaged in snappy form, Ubuntu will be using Mir as the display server instead of X.org.

I'm not really sure what the story is here. As it says in the linked article, this technology has been in use for at least 10 years in a large number of schools.
Also, the only "privacy concerns" raised appear in the other article are about an entirely different system at a school in the US.

It's called "Pale Moon" it's supposed to be that color.
Larger fans generally means a quieter system as they can spin at a lower speed to shift the same volume of air.

Presumably wheels that change in size can also be used instead of a differential?
