Completely unrelated: A feature that server likely has that you should investigate is called "iDRAC". There is probably a dedicated NIC on the back for it. It allows you to power on the server, control most "BIOS" features, and see the screen remotely.

Often you can mirror ports on routers and switches, this lets you send the same packets to a device as gets sent to your router. This will allow you to use something like wireguard to capture the packets and inspect them. Unfortunately for you, the vast majority of traffic is encrypted these days. So most of the time you can see how much data is being transmitted to Google, but not what data. Tools like Fiddler will help you on a specific machine, where it can decrypt it on the fly.
I'm a fan of doing business locally for this reason. People tend to treat you better when they know if they piss someone off enough that person could take a baseball bat to their car. Joking aside, small local companies tend to care about reputation. You are 1 of 1,000, not 1,000,000. Your money constitutes a significant portion of their profits. Unfortunately, it seems like every day there are less small businesses to do business with.
It's vastly better than it was 5 years ago. You can get an idea by going to protondb.com and looking at games. Basically, most games work out of the box with minimal to no issues. Even most new games work on release without major issues.
The biggest issue is anti-cheat and DRM. That can be a show stopped for some users, but for me it hasn't been an issue.
I think what you are missing is that any amount of slowing down by the board itself will eject the rider. The system is built on the balance between the rider and the motors. The speed of the device isn't controlled by the motors, it is controlled by the user putting their weight ahead of the unit. The unit then turns the motors to keep the system balanced. If the motors don't keep up, the user falls over. That's how the system works. The reason for these crashes is often because the motors can't keep up and it loses balance. What you are proposing intentionally making it lose balance.
The haptic feedback is telling the user to bring their weight closer to center, which slows the system down. It is fair to argue that any system that requires 100% continuous feedback from an electronic system is a poorly designed system. But your solution straight doesn't work and literally causes the problem you are proposing it solves.
It's a legitimate salvage.
I could also see 2 controllers controlling a single thing being useful for accessibility. For people who must use parts other than just fingers to control games, being able to use two at once might help. I know a lot of people cheered at Microsoft's customizable controller for the same reason.
I imagine it will get a bump. I'd love to see more developers using Godot, more tutorials, more in the asset library. The engine itself is quite good, but it doesn't have a huge ecosystem built around it the way Unity does.
As another commenter mentioned, the 90s as peak Reaganomics, the war on drugs were destroying poor neighborhoods, and prescription drug abuse was skyrocketing. Reaganomics were robbing the middle class of what little wealth they had. The war on drugs was ensuring that poor families were being destroyed. Prescription drug over prescription as feeding families directly to the war on drugs.
That's the 90s I remember. The entire system had been broken to make as many people as possible poor, and keep them there.
You and I lived in very different 90s.
A popular and powerful device for streaming other services. And direct integration in certain TVs as the "Smart" OS. Streaming was something they tried to build their offering and widen their reach when Google and Apple started getting decent streaming boxes themselves and TV manufacturers started having usable(while still bad) smart OSs.
Finger prints on Android stop working after 24 hours, a reboot, and some other cercumstances. I feel pretty OK using fingerprint to unlock my phone, because in about 99% of cases I might be compelled to unlock my phone, I will either be able to restart it first, or that 24 hour timer will have expired.
