Title text: There are probably children out there holding down spacebar to stay warm in the winter! YOUR UPDATE MURDERS CHILDREN.


Transcript[Changelog for version 10.17 of a piece of software.]

One change listed: "The CPU no longer overheats when you hold down the spacebar"
Comments: LongtimeUser4 writes: This update broke my workflow! My control key is hard to reach, so I hold spacebar instead, and I configured Emacs to interpret a rapid temperature rise as "control".
Admin writes: That's horrifying.
LongtimeUser4 writes: Look, my setup works for me. Just add an option to reenable spacebar heating.

Every change breaks someone's workflow.

The more subscription models there are, the more people there are creating cracks for subscriptions

you do realize you can't "crack" maintenance right?

As personal, individual user, who gives a shit? I'll just wait until a large enough gap between my version and the current version is there to warrent getting a more updated cracked version

I used an outdated version of photoshop for years.

If you NEED regular maintenance builds, it's probably for enterprise, in which case you open yourself up to a whole lot of legal bullshit by making money using pirated software in the first place.
