Most people are not you, shocking I know. Most families have two cars, and making one of them electric would not be a hardship if they were similarly priced. If I could get a new electric car for ~$20k I would buy one today. Hell, if I could find a used Leaf within driving distance I would be interested. They are pretty much perfect, but the closest one I can find is a 6 hour drive away. I drive less than 5 miles to work, an electric car would be great.
That likely invalidates the loan note and it would come due the minute the sublease starts. Car loans are different based on if this is your personal car or to be used as a business tool/asset.

CS degrees have nothing to do with what I just discussed. Believe it or not their are universities that have IT and Network administration(Not active directory, actual network stuff, windows people) programs.
Theory and having learned how to learn will mean they can pick up job skills quickly. A lack of theory means those tech school grads will likely never know why or the best way just the way the book says to do it.

That is how it works right now.
You don't have to pay back much if you do not make much money. They can only take a max of some percentage, but then the loan takes forever to pay off and interest of course does its dirty work and makes you even more in debt.

Forget high school graduate. There should be tests that determine these things at various grade levels and failure to pass means being held back. Can't read? Get to do first grade again.
Also allow schools to expel trouble makers. Make their parents pay for their education if they cannot at least manage to not be disruptive. If the parents cannot pay, place them in alternative education situations.

No, because some people are just malicious dicks. You can't count on rational actors, no one is a rational actor all the time and a few are never rational.
I could also work off the books to avoid paying this, or just leave the country.
What you are talking about is not a loan, but instead a form of indentured servitude.

So indentured servitude is what you really mean.
How about instead we recognize the benefit to society of having an educated populace and have university education be made available to qualified applicants at a cost low enough that these schemes are not needed?

Who are these people who get into great schools and cannot afford it?
The great schools seem to have pretty generous scholarship programs.
Either way this ignore the fact that all of society benefits from an educated populace. Even those educations that do not make much money. This means society should at least be chipping in.

I was with you until the end, I have seen tech school output and it sucks.
Sure they know a couple software products, but nothing of what is going on under the hood. They can tell you what a subnet mask is but not why or how it works. They think packet captures are black magic and that reboot is the solution to all tech problems. They have no idea at a basic level. I had one recently try to claim his network speeds to a host on the same subnet and the same switch changed when he changed the gateway. He had no concept of why that is. That is the difference between knowing what button to push and why you would push that button. A few years down the road and they are totally useless since the products they learned on are now out of the market. Since they have no basic understanding moving on to the next product is a huge struggle.

Great, so I get a loan and don't work or part time for the first X years.
How about we just admit having an educated society is a good thing and we make a university education free to those who qualify.
If you are reselling the device just remove the SD card, or stick it in a PC and use DD to write/dev/urandom to it. Obviously some users will find the latter approach too technical, or not trust SD cards enough, so selling it without an SD card is a fine solution.
Only if you are so stupid that your PIN is only 4 numbers and you allow unlimited retires. I am pretty sure iOS now makes the retry interval longer and longer to avoid this attack.
They just brute force it, that is not anything special.
And you are sure none of the machines that processed any of those items used lubricant derived from animals?
I can understand the desire to minimize your impact and to even not kill more than necessary. To believe that it is always wrong and would/is never be done for your benefit is childishness.
The ipad is a computer, sure apple tries to cripple it, but it is still a computer. It is not an HTML5 browse and plugins, it runs native code if the church of Apple approves your native code.
And What exactly is wrong with it? I also use a bow and arrow. It has cams, and all kinds of fancy Assault Bow tech on it though. I even have a high capacity quiver attached to it.
The real thing in this case I believe means going on a hunting trip.
I have hunted in the backcountry of Canada. You drive until there is no road, then fly in a bush plane to the real middle of nowhere. Trust me everyone brings along survival gear.

TurboTax and other have products that work on smartphones and tablets. I do not believe they save anything like that locally though.

Or maybe it reflects the fact that few people still use them, and nearly no one would if they had a choice.
Most modern smartphones support good encryption. Just use that.
