Some of the LinkedIn Responses are direct and on-point, and also hilariously/depressingly based depending on how you look at it:

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".

SIMlink 4G

Are these sensors connected to a cell network? What the hell? More than half my life ago, when I was in high school, we had wifi...

Yeah but putting it on 4G gives them a reason to charge for continuous use of the system and lock them in to their web based proprietary platform.

also bypasses anyone in the IT Department having a shred of conscience because you don't even gotta really connect to the local network

For what amounts to a fucking LED facing a photo sensor that you could've had the students make and attach to a red light.
