For that price I can get 3-4 Ender-3s and the same number of Raspberry Pi and make my own smart printers .

Oh no, that depends on the bus. Long trips, the guards want comfort. Those buses usually have AC, maybe not pointed at the prisoners but at least the bus is cool in general. Short trips though, where the guards are up front and prisoners in the back and separate? Total crap shoot. I know this from some personal experience in the NYS system.
Having been in chains on a couple of these buses during my life, I can say this much from personal experience.
In NY, you get food when your prison bus ride is more then a few hours long. We would get a paper bag with two ‘sandwiches’, a couple greasy cookies/biscuts ( I couldn’t tell for sure), and two little cups of juice. The ‘sandwiches’ where two slices of bread, some mystery deli meat, and some cheese. I do not recommend trying the recipe with the ingredients they use.
Didn’t matter how far you where going, that was one bag per trip per person. The trips going long distance where on converted or custom built tour buses. The seats are like what you’ll find in any city bus, hard with a layer of fabric over it for the barest bit of cusion. These prison buses usually had a bathroom, but you where told it was for peeing only.
There is anouther factor as well. For the vast majority of non-guard riders, you are chained to another person not of your choosing, for the duration of the ride. Even if one of you needs to use the small single occupant bathroom. I was, in a sense, lucky. I am a large person, and the handcuff-style leg chains would not fit on me, no matter how they tried my legs where just too large and thick and only bone or muscle, so not squishy like I saw some guys who had mostly thick fat on their legs. So instead, I got what the guards jokingly called the “elephant chains”, just a single chain passed around my ankles and padlocked shut so I couldn’t get out. But, it meant I didn’t have a ‘partner’. I could have used the bathroom by myself (although I didn’t, since in handcuffs I didn’t think anyone would aim very well) and I had a seat all to myself, since everyone else was already forced to buddy up.
There was no entertainment, but while the windows are very heavily tinted, you can see out of them from the inside, so at least it’s possible to watch what’s going by. That is either a blessing or a curse, depending on the person.
And yes, we where told no talking.
That’s the only reason I’m not attending, I don’t have anyone to watch my kids that weekend and it would be irresponsible to bring a 6 year old to something that could break into violence so easily. One cop or bad actor who pushes the crowd wrong…
I wish I could be there, but instead I’m going to teach my kids about what’s going on and why the protests are happening. With video, if I can find any livestream of it.

This bill was introduced last year, by the same person, and it died at the time because of some grassroots actions. Now, the wording is slightly different (so it can be introduced again as a “different” bill), and it’s being tried again.

Other then including that, I agree with you.

I loved Deus Ex Human Revolution, it was my intro to the series and still one of my favs. I woild also recommend something a little more sandbox, like Minecraft or Lightyear Frontier, just for the sheer time sink these games can be. Farming and building can make you lose track of hours at a time, great for travel.
I could also recommend something like Be my Hoard. Trying to get over an hour on a run is a fun way to burn an hour, if you like rouge-lite styles.
If you like driving, something like American Truck Simulator or Euro Truck Simulator is another great time sink.
