When the battery dies it just becomes e-waste — if you could charge and use it at the same time, then it could at least still be useful as a wired mouse for many more years.

Another subtle detail: "Donkey" was actually named this way because he is a talking donkey! Many miss this interesting tidbit

and YES I am GLAMORIZING DOOMERism because I AM NOT a role MODEL and I CAN't EXPRESS myself in a MORE PRODUCTIVE way

I've been on the top option for like the last 10 years

Absolutely "know you have none". Being blindsided when the time comes would be way worse than being able to be mentally prepared prior.

Why is this what we take from China, and not high speed rail (rhetorical)

Our firewall: Good and just

That's prime beachfront property, I wouldn't close it either

I don't understand the scenario here. Typically, you only need the TOTP (time-based one-time password) from your 2FA app, enter it on your computer, and you can use the computer to access your resources. The app itself is actually not even supposed to be on the same device, as an added layer of security.

It sounds like you need 2FA to run your company's VPN (is that correct?). On your computer, you would launch the VPN, it'll ask you for the TOTP (which you get from Aegis on your phone), and then you're logged in and able to access company resources (on your computer).

Minecraft, Mini Metro/Mini Motorways, an endless runner like Race the Sun, a tower defense game like Rogue Tower, or maybe something with a lot of busy work like Factorio
