Don't give a shit about what manual labor people are doing. All that matters is that the developers are working according to their limits, and not being forced to exceed them for ungrateful customers like you. Thankfully, that's what's occuring. Seethe.
Buying an AC= “being oppressed”
I also bet those same people doing manual labour would happily finish the day early if their boss told them to go home because it was too hot.
No use trying to troll me, pal.
It gets hotter in Madrid. Big deal.
No it doesn’t. The highest temperature ever recorded in Madrid is 40 C.
Too stupid to buy portable ac?
It was giving perspective that high heat may be bad, but try not having water or power for almost 10 days.
That doesn't say anything. Emergencies will force some people to internet cafes and coffee houses that have aircon, or some IT people to the office to handle any hardware needs. However, a regular workday isn't an emergency. We're talking hours or days. It's not the end of the world. They're not losing revenue, and the gamers aren't losing time either. Any delays in release that this will cause are miniscule. Some people have completely lost perspective in here...if they ever had any to begin with.
It was just a dumb joke, sorry
If PCs dont work due to heat thats one thing. If it doesnt work it doesnt work.
But I'm saving $700 for the new iWatch!
Lots of people did, so they quickly sold out everywhere. Do you really think no one thought to buy an AC unit?
Exactly. Parts of Western Massachusetts hit as high as 102F. July has just begun...This is all pretty non-controversial. I guess hearing anyone discussing climate change is triggering for certain people. Reminds me of a frog boiling in water calling everyone else stupid for saying the water is hot.
1) If a private company is having equipment issues, it makes sense they'd shut off the equipment and then work on fixing it.
2) Man affecting climate change is not controversial at this point. The US military war-games out all the numerous possibilities for the upcoming unrest and potential resource wars. Just read the first sentence. https://www.army.mil/standto/archive/2021/05/14/
Seattle just hit the all-time high for recorded temperatures twice in a row this week.
Have you tried?
It has been quite amusing seeing liberals defend the people in the NWP but laugh at Texas when they went through the exact opposite. Just one party trying to jab at another.
No, it wasn't over 100f in the UK. It's not been that hot this year. Nowhere near.
this is such a wild thing to leap to from “It was hot one day and our equipment was overheating so our management let us finish work early one day”
Yup, it got to 93 in the house, and we have plenty of trees, so we had it easier than most. AC are installers about to be booked for the next three years around here.
Almost as entitled as reading the thread title and posting without glancing at the 10 pages of posts already written.
Bungie DOES NOT work on halo anymore.
Maybe...Don't ruin my joke!
I forgot they didn't do it
Oh come on man just give him the information he asked for, no reason to be an asshole like that
Because it’s rare for it to get above 95 in the pacific north west, most businesses, buildings, restaurants, establishments, etc., do not have AC. And the ones that do aren’t designed to be effective above 95 F, so they literally break or lock up. I don’t think they even turn them on once it gets that hot, just so it doesn’t break down and then they have to replace it. I think that’s incredibly short sighted and dumb but that is the reality they are dealing with atm. Why all those people don’t have window units already (like, had bought them years ago just in case they had a couple summer days that was a bit too hot or uncomfortable) is also short sighted and dumb, and I think it’s kind of on them too. As far as finding a window unit now, they are sold out everywhere so no one can find one unless they travel across a few states to get one.
