He was charged was wire fraud. That's basically the Secret Service's THING.

Don't do wire fraud. Anything else is pretty fine. The moment the fraud goes over wires, you're ultrafucked.

This is what you get for having an utterly stupid return policy. Complete assholes come in, asshole the place up, and get their balls slurped by management because 'DER COOSTERMUR IS ALWAYS ROIT!!!'

Happy to see these idiots (HD management) get fucked over like this. They all deserve it. Management in these stores is uniformly soulless corporate robots or people so beaten down by mediocrity that they can't be bothered to leave for a company that won't treat them like shit.

61 stores. This is not one dude being a dick. This is systemic failure on HD's part. Fuck 'em.

Also fuck that guy because there's no doubt he was a prick to everyone he encountered.

Because when someone says "COME HERE" they're making the statement that whatever you're doing is pointless shit that can be dropped immediately.

I didn't tolerate that with my parents, and I sure as shit wouldn't tolerate it with a spouse. If you can't be bothered to give me a reason to go there, don't fucking tell me to go there.

"Hey, check this shit out!" - Fine. Implies it's on my own time. "Could you come in here?" - Fine. A request can be denied. "Come here." - I'm not your fucking dog.

My grandparent's house was $10,000 in 1959.

When my grandfather passed we sold it for close to $300,000. In a shitty small town in Texas.

This is what happens when housing is sold as an investment and not a place to live.

Here in Texas you'll see job posts from one clearly triggered right-wing small business owner paying $7.25 an hour, talking about how if you're working there you're WORKING there followed by a list of like 400 things you'll be doing.

This will be next to a job post from an actually sane individual that's paying more than twice as much for 1/4th of the effort, and you're still being overworked.

They don't want employees, they want indentured servants.

...are... you... fucking trolling?

Do you not know what a port is? Are you not aware that numerous modern game engines don't even need to be ported, they just run on multiple platforms?

Macs being ARM based has FUCKING NOTHING TO DO with there being few games for the platform.

Apple has never courted game developers. They have never been about absolute gaming power. They're about developers, media production, and general use audiences. They do not build gaming computers. Any gaming capability is ancillary to their actual business model.

If a developer doesn't see a potential ROI on porting a game to Apple silicon, they won't. It's that simple.

I could keep doing this. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of games on Steam that started on mobile.

Not that this matters because the entire fucking point is that NO, Macs aren't "unable to run games because ARM" when almost all mobile games run on ARM and they get ported to non-ARM processors ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

Are Linux users just unable to think beyond what's literally in front of them?

What the fuck does any of that have to do with running AAA games?

The Deck is not competing with consoles, genius. Unless you're so stuck in early 2000's fashion that you pants are so ginormously huge that you can fit a PS5 and TV in them.

Stay on topic or piss off.
