Your agitation is largely self-induced, as you stomp your feet and whine like a toddler denied his toy rather than mitigating it like an adult. Microsoft is a business. Their motivation is to deliver as little value to the user as possible while making as much money as possible. This has been this way since they won the IBM DOS contract and no longer had to compete on their product alone. You can whine, or you can use something else that better aligns with your needs and values as a user.

Ask your doctor if Xanax is right for you.

This sub merely asks for questions but instead we got a wall of indignant text about how you will pre-ignore any solutions to your complaint.

100% agreed, but it is in the realm of possibility that they would do this. It's somewhat smug of me, but honestly I have never been so happy as during the past few years not to be a gamer. Y'all have to deal with mountains of bullshit.

I wouldn't take this for granted. Even if it is true today (I have no idea, I don't own a switch, and wouldn't be surprised if it requires even physical media to authenticate), Nintendo could alter the deal with an update.

Someone got a visit offering lots of money to keep quiet on the CCP's data collection engine.

Linux on laptops, and certain other servers (TV headend/DVR, APCO P25 SDRtrunk host), and video transfer workstation. FreeBSD on any other servers, routers, and workstations, including my home automation controller (I maintain a fork of Home Assistant for FreeBSD).

Running FreeBSD on a laptop newer than 5ish years old is asking for a bad time no matter what. Linux has Intel and AMD engineers implementing power management for their parts. FreeBSD has no such help. Your laptop will likely be idling at a much higher power consumption than it would under Linux.

An idea, maybe just stick to Linux if first class hardware and proprietary software support is what you're chasing.

That is your bluetooth adapter. Just disable it, press 3 at the boot menu to break to loader prompt and set hint.ubt.0.disabled="1" and boot

Please quote me the relevant "industry standards." It is all perspective, and FreeBSD releng certainly does not cater to what some rando online might think is an intuitive way to name release trains. This has been done this way for 30 years.
