Honestly good litmus test, if you got a Thinkpad that means somebody seems to listen to IT on what to buy which does bode sort of well for a tech job

I do know a few young people are tech/programming wizards but "generally tech savy" people seem to be declining. It's either you're really into it or barely know anything outside popular apps.

I feel like we also got a new kind of guy, the tech-forward digital illiterate. They run most of everything.

All I'm getting out of this is further proof that the "general publics" sense of safety exists entirely removed from anything fact based

IR Smoke Detectors with IOT would do the trick here and seem a likely choice on account of they didn't include some bullshit about AI recognition, but it also makes them hilariously easy to game. Just spray some axe near it, you know us teenage boys, we smell. Or hell, dust.

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

That's not limited to 9X Windows, up until W10 that's still around because Microsofts big selling point is their shit works backwards for nigh-eternity

Broke: We can offer you our truffle fucked nothingburger with garlic ass for $20 dollars with every single fry costing a dollar extra
Bespoke: falafel shawarma $3, yoghurt or hummus, boss?

at the point where your cutlery becomes necessary to eat your burger unless you pig-trough it you have failed at making a burger

If you're talking to libs obviously the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea is any and all of those, why would they be named such otherwise

Plan's right there mate. Early retirement at 0 loss after an age cutoff, 5 year former wages for the rest, have some of the boffins at the Wirtschaftsministerium calculate where the cut-off makes sense economically, done. Fuck just reuse the plans from when you dismantled any given organisation in the 90s - 2000s, I'm sure they're still around, could be used for good for ones. This is not a hard thing to do, logistically.

No one here likes the coal generators. [...]so even obviously good paths will face pushback, like from entire regions whose jobs are in the coal industry.

This in itself is contradictory but even despite that, there's 20.000 people left with jobs in the coal industry. You could give everyone over like the age of 50 their pension as if they worked till the regular pension age and then re-train everybody else with very generous benefits for the interrim time of like 5 years and it would be orders of magnitude cheaper than keeping that system rolling.
