It was definitely a tongue-in-cheek response to yours. FWIW, I mostly agree with you. I can also see their perspective, a 0.30EUR print + finishing time to clean it up (support removal, solvent vapor bath for smoothing, etc) and put the lenses in, even if they need to do this multiple times a year, still comes out cheaper than buying the frames, even if the quality is suspect. Plus, OP gets to wear their nerd badge with pride.

Personally, I've tried replacing EDC items with 3D printed versions and didn't have much success, but then again, I didn't invest too much time to rev the STLs I found or design better ones.

It is a mix of ignorance, control, fear, and compliance. In finance in particular, insider threats are a real thing and it leads to the exact kinds of situations you're describing. The cognitive dissonance of trusting someone enough to pay them a salary and deploy code to production (after peer verification), but not trusting them enough to manually touch a database is real. And it is the result of mitigating company risks, and following laws and regulations. No, it doesn't make any sense. Yes, it should all be aligned, but you know, humans. All of that said, sometimes people do dumb things unintentionally, and the controls are there to mitigate those instances, too. Ultimately, you just deal with the bullshit because fighting it does no one any good. The powers that be only care about making money. And if you, peon developer, need to jump through a bunch of bullshit hoops in order to do your job, management doesn't give a shit. That is what they are paying you for, after all.

Luxottica shills are everywhere!

God damn it, that's the third one this week lost to the sex cult.

Yeah, but then you live in Texas.

If you get a Quest 3, it should play those kinds of games stand alone, no problem. No gaming laptop required. If it is going to be a more graphically intense game, or the games are only on Steam or whatever (so needs Steam Link), you are going to need a gaming laptop with a discrete GPU (released from the last 3-4 years). To do the wireless link, you'll need a wifi6 capable access point/router, and wifi6 capable chipset in the laptop, or a dongle, or a gigabit ethernet cable from the laptop directly plugged in into the access pointer/router.

Pro-tip, all your classic cheat codes work: IDDQD, IDKFA, etc.
