My thought exactly

Wow, I was just the other day wondering how these work. Far more complicated than I had expected, but a very cool mechanism!

Probably had to unbolt the brake bar to get it to spin freely backwards?

I had this sometimes happen as a kid. I think we mostly solved it with some old fashioned violence.

Either that or unbolt the kick stand.

My friends. The kick stand stows by moving towards the back, making it possible to push it in during the normal cycling motion.

So if its in the way, they're backpedaling.

The way to solve it is to lift the bike's rear wheel and pedal like normal. That's it. No unbolting needed.

On some bikes it was welded to the frame.

Perhaps they should just drop the 'security' from the name and simply call it a camera.

I've been using Canonical's LXD for this, under Debian Trixie. Nowadays I can usually get away with just running containers for things I need vs full-blown VMs. I guess the only downside is that in order to get the latest version of LXD installed easily you'd have to do it via snap, which I understand is a dealbreaker for many.

There's also been advancements in cylinder head technology (i.e., VTEC, VVT, etc), which I guess also falls under control systems, but worth mentioning as these technologies are very cool. Honda's iVTEC has it down to a damn science with how to optimize valve lift & duration across the entire RPM spectrum.

Right, there's definitely not a bunch of pressure from the fact that they can throw you in jail for basically anything and probably get away with shooting you if they really wanted that would get in the way of a real meaningful relationship...

The only thing the ViRGE was good for was passing through to a Voodoo2

But it WAS ultra popular with OEMs. If you had embedded video there was a huge chance that was it.
