Remember 5-or-so years back when all the giant megacorps decided that "Thanksgiving is a day our employees should spend with their families." etc etc.

Soon as the economy is back in force theyre ALL forcing their minimum wage, zero benefits employees to work the holidays again.

Purely a coincidence I'm sure!
I had to work black Friday and xmas eve at wallmart during the Obama administration.

That thing came with a fucking wifi card straight from Satan's workshop. BSoD for months until I unplugged the card inside. Would constantly drop connection and pick it back up again under a different name. Then it'd crash the computer. After that was disabled and I bumped it up to 8gb ram and a 120 SSD, it turned out to be a great computer. Until the trackpad got possessed and I had to disable that too. Until the internal power adapter casing slipped into the case and I had to use a screw driver to drag it back out every time I needed to plug in power cord. But it worked fine after that, until the battery died and it needed to be on wall power 100% and god help you if you kicked that shitty power cord. But I loved it after my friend helped me jam some plastic to keep the adapter from slipping. It was a real good computer until the W and R keys stopped working. So I bought a new keyboard for it np. Worked fine until I threw my phone at the screen. Got a new monitor the next day. 3 hours later, tea. So deep inside it.

Suggestion on a laptop that can run p99(raiding)? and the rest is just streaming nextflix and sports. Want it to last long, have nice cooling, good screen/colours and sound. Possible on a budget(black friday)?

I like this computer I got. There's a $599 version of it at Best Buy with 250 SSD and +2gb on gfx card, but I couldn't afford it. Mine was $519.

Are LG OLED TVs really worth the price? Or is a cheaper 4K UHD going to do the job?
