How to liberate a Chromebook

Hmm… Well, there was no way I was going to give her a Google spy device, so I decided to liberate the Chromebook from Google’s surveillance-based operating system (ChromeOS) and gift it to her. Instead, what you have to do is to physically open up the computer, short a pair of jumpers to disable the write protection and flash the firmware with something that isn’t designed to stop you from protecting yourself from Google’s surveillance machine. Google is anything but open and Chromebooks are not computers; they are corporate surveillance devices.
