    In fairness, it’s also fucking hard to draw maps in Louisiana. I work with GIS software to create maps sometimes and you basically need at least a gaming desktop to apply high res water layers to maps without your computer getting so hot for so long, it could be used as a Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator on a mission to the outer solar system.

      I hear that, I’ve had to install some of this stuff, and sometimes my immediate response is “why are you even trying to put this software on a laptop? You’re going to kill that thing.” Gis, CAD, civil3d, Revit, etc, it’s brutal on hardware.
