I’m Pissed…OP

I ordered a laptop from back market for 300 dollars in fair condition. It arrived and I opened it. First of all the laptop was in terrible condition, much worse than the images it shows on the website for “fair” condition. But I figured that was just normal and moved on. The laptop itself was good, I liked it. But imagine my frustration when I realized the charging port was completely broken. So now I have to wait multiple weeks for my laptop to be fixed because they are incapable of checking a charging port.

Is This A Good Laptop Deal?

https://www.backmarket.com/en-us/p/dell-latitude-5520-15-inch-2021-core-i5-1145g7-16-gb-ssd-256-gb/9f98a815-ff3e-4ebb-b38a-2a4e807f196e

This is a refurbished laptop I am looking at, it’s a Dell Latitude 5520 15” with 256 GB of storage and 16 GB of RAM, and a Core i5-1145G7. It’s in good condition, and 300 dollars. I need a laptop for day to day school use as well as some light gaming (like Minecraft and stuff) and programming.

Is this a good deal?

I’m considering getting this laptop. 430 dollars is a lot to drop so I want to know that it’s the best option for its price.

It’s a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15.6

LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:

300-400 dollars, MAYBE 500, but that’s pushing it.

Are you open to refurbs/used?

I could live with it but I’m looking for new.

How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?

I would like something that is not super slow day to day, I’ll mostly be using it for school. But I would also like to play some basic games, like Minecraft and stuff, I program 2D games, so it should be able to handle that, battery life isn’t super important. I would like it to be decently durable though.

How important is weight and thinness to you?

I will be carrying it around, so nothing insanely heavy, but I don’t really mind too much if it’s a bit heavy.

Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.

I would really prefer a bigger screen.

Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.

Programming, (I use Gamemaker) I would like to do some basic gaming, stuff like Minecraft and low level 3D or 2D games.

If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?

Medium or low level graphics, I don’t have specific specs, just as long as it’s not really laggy.

Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

No not really, as long as it HAS a touchpad and preferably expandable storage.

My friend has an Asus Vivobook Go 15.6", it seems to work on a for him but I’ve heard someone good stuff about it online.

I am making a game and I need a kinematic object to follow my mouse. Currently I am using this code:

//step event of the object

phy_speed_x = mouse_x - phy_position_x

phy_speed_y = mouse_y - phy_position_y

This follows the mouse effectively, however, the object lags behind the mouse because it seems to cap at a certain speed, and if the distance is greater than that, it has to catch up, Any help greatly appreciated

I am making a game in Gamemaker studio which uses physics, and I have a kinematic object which needs to follow my mouse without lagging behind. Phy_position dosent work because that makes it not have velocity and I need it to have velocity so it can push objects around, anyone have a solution?

I’ve been trying to solve this for weeks and I’m at a complete loss, please can anyone help

As we all know, the Dodgers won the World Series last year. However, the Blue Jays only needed one more game to win after game 5. Yet the Dodgers still managed to win. Also, most of us know that game 3 went into a full 18 innings, which the Dodgers ended up winning. What a lot of people do t know, is that in inning two of that game, the Blue Jays had a runner on first and no outs. The batter was 3-1, and the pitcher threw high ball 4. However, the home plate umpire, Mark Wegner, made a horrible strike call for strike 2. But this was after the batter had already thrown their bat, causing confusion with the runner on first who thought it was ball 4, causing him to get out. Later that inning the batter during all that was on third when the Dodgers got the third out, so most likely, had that mistake not been made by the umpire, the Blue Jays would have scored one run that inning, would have had one more run in the ninth inning, the game would have never gone into extra innings, the Blue Jays would have had one more win, and would have won after game five. So basically, the Blue Jays losing the World Series was the fault of one bad ball-strike call.
