Ah yes...the efficiencies never stop coming when you forced to skirt government mandates about tech they know almost nothing about.

I have war stories for days about all times companies I worked for had to have customers pull DLLs from 3rd party sites in order to comply with completely political mandates.

I had a professor tell me a story about a small tech company he worked at way back when, where they actually smuggled their POS terminal system by fishing boat out of the US and into Canada to sell outside the US to get around export controls even though the algorithms they used were widely known.

It'll be even more efficient soon, when the backdoors come.
