EDIT: In hindsight, I think I should’ve looked into posting this in a different community… It’s closer to a silly “innovation”… soo… is this considered FUD? I also don’t support smoking or vaping, especially among kids. Original title had “privacy-violating” before the “solution”.

    Somebody teach the kids to pentest: get into their REST API and ring it for every desk this stupid sensor is placed in. If you’re better than average, get into the operations of the electric controller which these sensors are powered through and fry them. Cost the school millions and they’ll (maybe) come to their senses

        It’s not about the vaping it’s about teaching them to not waste public money on stupid shit.

            Vaping is nothing compared to what they could buy with the money they spent on the whatever exorbitant price this surely costs.

              As with smoking, vaping can be very irritating to people nearby who don’t want to smoke, so it’s not simply a matter of letting people do what they want, it’s about behaving in a manner that is socially acceptable when living among other people.
