It loads and UI seems to work, but it still doesn’t actually block ads or click them.

Ok, just updated to 1.11.0 (latest app store release at the time of writing) and it behaves exactly the same. The icon changed after updating, however, subsequent attempts to change it are ineffective as before, even if the app is swiped up from the task selector to “kill” it. It seems like swiping up doesn’t really kill the app, however, installing/reinstalling/updating from the app store does.

To test this, I’ll try offloading the app (delete app but not app data) and reinstalling to see if my hypothesis about updating/reinstalling is correct.

Interesting; it’s consistently not working for me. I managed to change the app icon once, but subsequent attempts keep failing. The icon changes within the app’s settings screen, however, it does not change from the previous selection when I go into the app switcher or the launcher. Killing/restarting the app from the app switcher doesn’t help either.

EDIT: the symptoms above are happening on app store version 1.10.1. I’m about to update to 1.11.0 to see if it helps.

I’m guessing this is a school and not a university? At a university students have more clout/rights, at least on paper.

In any case, getting your own machine is the way to go. You can run whatever you want on it. You could still (cautiously) use the school network, as long as you use a VPN; basically treat the school network as a “hostile” environment. That’s assuming VPN use is not against the school rules. :)

Is there an IT policy at your school? I suggest perusing it for 2 reasons:

  1. Understanding the consequences of tampering/tinkering with the spyware.
  2. Understanding how much authority the IT department really has, and whether or not what they’re doing with the spyware constitutes overreach.

#2 in particular is for your own knowledge/benefit. Since you’re not an employee, but a student, you may have some inherent rights under this policy, which the IT department may be violating.

Here’s another video demonstrating the effect of an MRI magnet on non-ferromagnetic metals (aluminum in this case).

Love this new feature!!! And yeah, I would love to see the icon selection grow.

Yikes, that’s terrible!

I was thinking the same thing. Either this person didn't replace their tires in a couple of decades or does insane acceleration/turns/burnouts/stunts.
