A rather fascinating article link below. Quote below particularly caught my eye.
The invisible seafaring industry that keeps the internet afloat[^]
Quote: By having the cable landing stations on either side of the ocean beam light down their end of the line and time the reflections back, they were able to locate the faults nearest to them within a few meters.

A time domain reflectometer is a handy tool! An acquaintance of mine borrowed the one we had at school many years ago. He nearly got expelled when they learned that he'd rolled it out to the parking lot and diagnosed a wiring fault in his car with it. The darned things cost over $40k back then. They're cheap enough now that I happen to have an optical model here at home.

My (company's) code signing certificate expires in less than a month, so over the weekend I intended to renew it. Unbeknownst to me, there are new rules and regulations that prevent the straight download/install/export of a certificate. (for pfx signing) It seems the only options these days are using their keyvault or using a hardware token, both at a cost of course. In fact, the price has almost doubled from just 3 years ago! 
I have no choice but to roll with the changes, I just hope that I don't have to change too much in my current deployment toolchain.  (currently using signtool/pfx)

Is it an EV certificate or just a code signing certificate? I would understand them requiring a token if it's an Extended Validation cert.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

It's just a code signing certificate. Up until this renewal, my CA (DigiCert) has allowed me to simply install the certificate directly into IE/Edge where I can export it to pfx for use on other systems. It seems I now need to either become dependent on them to store/use the private key, or get it shipped on a hardware token, both cost more money and both will require me to alter the custom deployment system. (unless I will have the ability with the hardware token/dongle to create the pfx)
Either way, it's silly that shipping a cheap usb stick should add hundreds of dollars to a product that doubled in price over 3 years. I may go shopping, but it might mean having to get reverified (time and effort) if I change providers instead of renewing. Not sure yet.

It took us months to change our TeamCity builders that no longer could use a copy of the .pfx signing certificate.
The builders now send the files to be signed to a "Signing PC" which has the USB dongle with the EV token.
I also had to write a signing application to automate signing as we did not want to sign files manually.

Thanks for confirming my fears!
I'm the only person here building/signing/deploying, so the only problem will be keeping up with the dongle when I travel. Of course, I don't know what I'm up against with the automation part of things yet...if it can be scripted like signtool, then it shouldn't be too much of a hassle.

It is a hassle I'm afraid, there is no official documentation on how to automate signing with an EV token. I only found a useful tip on StackOverflow after much searching. I don't have it at hand at the moment, tomorrow I wil send you the link.

Automate Extended Validation (EV) code signing with SafeNet eToken
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17927895/automate-extended-validation-ev-code-signing-with-safenet-etoken[^]
signtool sign /f mycert.cer /csp "eToken Base Cryptographic Provider" /k "[{{TokenPasswordHere}}]=KeyContainerNameHere" myfile.exe
To speed up the process and sign multiple files with timestamp in a directory I use this:
string pw = @"[{{MyPassword}}]";
string signToolMs = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\App Certification Kit\signtool.exe";
string command = $"sign /fd sha256 /tr http://timestamp.sectigo.com /td sha256 /f \"z:\\Certificate.cer\" /csp \"eToken Base Cryptographic Provider\" /k \"{pw}=Sectigo_12345678\" file1.exe file2.dll";
ProcessRun(signToolMs, command, dirName);
