Unfortunate that he got caught. He was simply playing the same game the corps do but since he isn't mega rich he gets punished.

Did you really respond to a 2 month old post just to link your own post "proving" you're right with a screen cap of a search result? What a pathetic loser you must be. Blocked. Fucking retard.

Looks like something that'll break in 2 months. Plus who knows how good the controller is. I bet there will be a lot of complaints about sparks being broken off too.

With laptops having movable and separate pieces built into the frame is an awful idea. Gaming laptops in general are already an awful idea except for a very small portion of the population that actually travels enough to justify one.and no, going back and forth to a dorm room is not travel. A gaming rig in your living space plus a cheap laptop is good enough and cheaper than a gaming laptop.

I have a drive cam for work that dies something similar. While they don't ding us for singing, they will for everything else like us scratching our ear because it thinks there's an earpiece and we can't have any electronic devices including GPS. But the camera screaming "FOLLOWING DISTANCE" every time we get cut off or a car 3 semi truck lengths away in 25 taps their brakes and forcing us to slam the brakes so we don't get written up is perfectly safe.

I've had to do that. Some days I just can't deal with driving all over the state and dealing with customers

I get 10 days a year on a sliding window. So if I call in sick in June, I won't get that day back until June. It's bullshit.

I got a bad cold or something one time. I spent 2 weeks working from home then the boss told me to go to a doctor. Went and they found nothing so I had to come in. 1.5 weeks later I was over it but not before the rest of the office got pissed at me for getting them sick. I just told them I was forced to come in.

I used to have a program called netlimiter (needed to throttle individual aop downloads on a shared WISP that was slow as balls). I bought a lifetime license like 10 years ago because I liked the software. A couple years ago they got rid of the old version and bumped me up to the new version. About a year ago I got an email saying something along the lines of "pay our new subscription fee or you lose your access" and basically put me on a trial account. I pirated their old version years ago to see if I liked the software enough after a couple months. I no longer use that software.

Another time I bought a lifetime access for a game on patreon. About 2 years later the dev switched to a subscription only fee to access all the new content and never released anything from updated versions to the older public release. So essentially I bumped down to a free tier of access to a game I paid for.

I will pirate until I die. Fuck these douchebags.

Not to mention they were warned many times before about serving coffee that's too hot. The woman got such a huge settlement because the judge was tired of McDonald's crap

When was the last time a corporation got anything other than a slap on the wrist and a small donation to the government just so they could keep doing what they're doing?

 

I'm trying to learn programming and something I struggle with the most is trying to separate code mentally into chunks where I can think through the problem. I'm not really sure how to describe it other than when I read a function to determine what it does then go to the next part of the code I've already forgotten how the function transforms the data and I get stuck trying to figure out the solution. So instead I'll often cludge something together just to make it work but I don't feel like I made any progress. Has anybody else run into this issue where they struggle with abstracting code from text to mental instructions?

Edit: Thank you all for the suggestions and advise. I wish I could reply to everyone but there's been a lot of good information given and I have some ways now to try and train my brain to think about how to break down the code. It's also a little reassuring knowing I'm not the first to have these same struggles.
