A First Amendment group sued Texas Governor Greg Abbott and others on Thursday over the state’s TikTok ban on official devices, arguing the prohibition – which extends to public universities – is unconstitutional and impedes academic freedom.

    Gaming computers? Really? I work for our distance education dept (well it’s called digital education now since pretty much everything has on online component) and we have a group doing lots of 3D media creation (3D scanning, virtual environments,etc). Guess what that requires? High end gaming machines. It seems a little short sighted by your university. Luckily we don’t have bean counters scrutinizing every purchase like that. Man would that get annoying.

    I guess I’m starting to realize how good we have it hearing about all these weird restrictions being placed on purchases.
