Apparently USB tractor control panels are a thing in the farm sim world.
wha… but… why?

So uhh this is kinda awkward…
Now that I think about it, that’s how I’d like to start everything on my desk. Turning on my lamp? Use a key. Starting my PC? I absolutely want to turn a key to do that, too. Unlocking my iPhone? Okay, that would probably just get annoying. But the other stuff I definitely want keys for.
I mean, your PC’s power switch is just closing a connection between two wires. I’m sure that someone makes a key lock switch that can do that.

Apparently the term is “key switch” rather than “key lock switch”.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_switch
A key switch (sometimes called a keyswitch or lock switch) is a key-operated switch.[1] Key switches are used in situations where access to the switch’s functions needs to be restricted.[2][3]

Though the first entry for sale on Amazon calls it a “key lock switch”, so YMMV.

Back in the 90s my family computer had a lock. I can’t remember what it did, but it wouldn’t boot up if it was in the off position. I think it just stopped the power button from working
I feel like it would have been just as funny if they gave you a USB drive to jailbreak your tractor

I didn’t read that title carefully enough and for a second thought it’s talking about some stupid drm thing.
