I hated the guards that said “Simon says jump!” and then whenever people only jumped once they were shot instantly because “Simon didn’t say stop jumping!”

Not only do they fail, it is pretty hard to hit the right spot. Too many animals are merely paralyzed by the bolt, and are fully capable of feeling the blade across their throat.

Same, but after unlocking the bootloader, it had a very clean LineageOS install.

Exactly why I left that company.
Specifically free (libre) licences, as permissive licences allow corporations to improve/adapt the software without contributing back to the community.
I only work on software with GPL compatible licences now.

I was working for a place that was the market leader in a certain niche of simulation software. Their simulation was about 10x more efficient than their competitors. However, that version of the software is strictly off limits for the public, and made a version which they sold with a sleep statement so that it was only 1.1x faster than the next best solution. That way they could remain market leaders any time the competitors released a better version. Even though many systems rely on growing simulations to simulate bigger scenarios that could help save lives.
Just an example of capitalism impeding progress.
