Isn’t the government “we the people”? So you know the government DID paint them. Fuck those guys, they just mad because the contractor that paid them off didn’t get their cut and now they are.
If the “government” can’t be bothered to do the job they were elected to do the people will have to step in.

Except the last time I turn off an OS it’s usually because it was BSOD and never came back. Then it’s wiped and something new or it’s reinstalled. Is it the same OS if it’s reinstalled?

This is exactly what my wife is experiencing in her state gov position. It’s a hybrid state/corp department and the CEO says they need to RTO even though he admits they are more productive at home. He literally said it’s because they are still paying for the building and feel it’s being underutilized. They have been remote for 5 years and some of the employees moved across the state and most have said they are quitting.

They are picking all the bad stuff from dystopian fiction and rolling it all at once. It’s like tech bros got the Cliff notes of all the scifi stories and turned to the page that explained what the protagonist was fighting against and said “yes, let’s do all that”.

Maybe if we had a fucking standard for the where the fuck the tap to pay is. We all knew the swype and inserts were because we could see the slots.
But why be mysterious where the tap is? One machine will be in the corner but you can’t tap until it lights. Some is on the screen and you can tap anytime. Some are on screen and you can’t tap until you pick credit. Then there are those that say you can tap but the store doesn’t have it turned on so you can’t tap.
Pick a fucking standard. It’s using the chip all over again, that was really fucking annoying too, you would go to swype and they say oh you need to insert the chip, next store you go to and you insert but they say that don’t work and you need to swype.

How Nintendo locked down the Switch 2’s USB-C port and broke third-party docking
We whipped out a USB-C PD analyzer to test how Nintendo walled its garden this time around. by Sean Hollister Jul 2, 2025, 3:47 PM EDT

There’s always a reason why universal USB-C ports don’t “just work” like you’d expect. In the early days, it was incompetence or naiveté. Later, manufacturers often cheaped out. But in the case of Nintendo’s Switch 2, it appears to be intentional.
With the Nintendo Switch 2, it should be easy to plug your new, more expensive console into video glasses or TVs when you’re traveling away from home. USB-C makes it so. But Nintendo has intentionally broken the Switch 2’s compatibility with those devices, using a new encryption scheme and some form of dedicated encryption chip, two accessory manufacturers tell The Verge.
I haven’t yet found proof of that encryption chip myself — but when I analyzed the USB-C PD traffic with a Power-Z tester, I could clearly see the new Nintendo Switch not behaving like a good USB citizen should.

If you’ve been wondering why there are basically no portable Switch 2 docks on the market, this is the reason. Even Jsaux, the company that built its reputation by beating the Steam Deck dock to market, tells us it’s paused its plans to build a Switch 2 dock because of Nintendo’s actions. It’s not simply because the Switch 2 now requires more voltage, as was previously reported; it’s that Nintendo has made things even more difficult this generation. How docking works
That “U” in USB isn’t always “universal,” but this is generally true: if you plug any USB-C to HDMI adapter, dock, or hub into a USB-C laptop, tablet or handheld that supports USB-C video output, you can expect to see your screen automatically appear on your TV.
The magic is normally possible because of a simple, standardized set of instructions that any manufacturer can follow to make their docking station or hub “talk” to the computer.
