Also, if you actually read it, there are exceptions for open source software!
"what the default behavior is for other cards set as transit cards" statement is countered by the article "Your device stops randomizing the UID on each tap". Granted, I know this part because in the past Google Pay on Android would randomize the UID on each read and on Apple devices transferring cards between devices would reinitialize the UID but would keep some application-specific (like a Suica card identifier) static, thus making these virtual cards unsuitable for UID-based identification for access control.
"how transit providers are supposed to match people to tickets" is not relevant to the premise of "This repository describes general status on the topic and a possible solution to allow you to use your device as an access card in UID-based access systems." In general, these are stored fare cards so they do not store a ticket and instead store an available balance.
What makes this card powerful, lies in the way it changes how NFC behaves on your device when it's set as a default transit card:
Your device stops randomizing the UID on each tap;
Your device begins responding to all NFC readers as if they were express-transit enabled, just like on Android;
Also this card does not change its serial number and UID when moving to other devices, unlike most other ones.

High refresh rate displays have been gaining a lot of traction in the past few years with 1080p or 1440p displays running at 120 or 144 Hz being affordable.
The issue still lies with the Pi 4 for not having two CC resistors.

I setup iPXE to boot Windows 7 (Embedded Standard technically) to boot off an iSCSI target and it shows up as a disk in Windows. Does Windows still allow for int 13h handlers or is there some other special handling?
