> Side note: What is that massive yellow CYBER sticker that seems to be on 80% of them? Feel like I’ve missed some kind of political movement.

I'm a little bit unsure about the origins of the sticker. But in the european hacker community the "CYBER" sticker is used for a bunch of things. Package tape, stickers and security lines.

There is one webshop selling them: https://cyber.equipment/

I just have to believe that you know better than I do what was appropriate at your workplace.

I think the CYBER thing is a joke from the German part of the internet. Our government (and companies alike), liked to cyber-everything. Cyber as a word alone or prefix became a joke and that might be the origin.

Have a look at this cybervideo for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY6KkRsS26M
