    Except it would take 3 literal months to download it (stupid home internet with a 1.25TB data cap)

      Goodness, do you live in Australia or something? Are there any better options, or can you not afford them? My spoiled and priveleged self has trouble comprehending a data cap on my internet plan.

      Can I ask what country so I can avoid it like the plague?
      Ah yes, good ol’ US of A. Why am I not surprised?

      My ISP recently introduced data caps on unlimited (they throttle you to 4Mbit if you go past ~300GB or 500, not sure). I already wanted to leave but that’s really lighting a fire under me to move the fuck out of here.

      And if you go to the store and buy it in person, it’ll be a empty cd case with a serial key to download.

        or with a CD that installs a downloader, that is actually a background service always starting with the OS, and a few other bloatware to not waste CD space

        except that almost nobody has a CD drive anymore. so it must be a pendrive instead that was forced to read-only access
