PL/I as part of CS 1 & CS 2 as an undergrad in the late 1970's on Amdahl System 360 clone. Punched cards, green & white striped 132 column printouts. One-day turnaround to submit, compile, run, get output. Then on to PDP-11 Macro-11, MOS Technology 6502 assembler, COBOL, Pascal, Xerox Interlisp-D, C, C++, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, Objective-C, Swift, etc.
If you believe that such big-corporation friendly, citizen hostile, laws and agreements are the result of monied interests perverting our governments, then support whatever anti-corruption movements are active in your nation.
In the USA http://represent.us/ is trying with some success to get big money out of local elections around the USA. Ultimately they hope to get enough elected officials around the country to have an impact at the national level, and to get rid of our system of legalized bribery.
We all feel a bit helpless in the face of massive international corporations using their wealth and other power to control our governments. Represent.Us might be one realistic way to at least begin to organize and effectively counter the oligarchs.
They have gotten big money out of elections in more places than has my bitching and moaning on my own:-)
I have not tried these products, but may retrofit my 5th wheel RV with them in the future:

Some products advertised as quiet enough for studio usage. I am more concerned with having LOTS of noisy equipment in small spaces such as a trailer, an apartment.

Some models are essentially 19" NEMA/RETMA racks.
