Well, there is zero interest if you pay it in full by the allocated date (usually 12-24 months); however, if you do not pay it in full by then (which they try to trick you into), not only do you get charged interest going forward, you also get charged interest for every month that was previously “zero interest”, which ends up being a lot, often more than the product(s) would’ve originally cost.

Don’t worry. All the stores now (at least in the US) have predatory deferred financing that promises zero-interest and then shows you low minimum payments to trick consumers who were never taught how credit works into thousands in interest.

The devices in the apple store are not retail phones. They have special software that makes them dedicated trackers the second they leave the store’s perimeter.
It used to be even worse. In 2042, you had to install the EA app.
According to EA
Requiring Secure Boot provides us with features that we can leverage against cheats that attempt to infiltrate during the Windows boot process. It also lets the Battlefield Positive Play team use its own features and related dependent security features like TPM to combat other forms of cheating, the most relevant of which include:
- Kernel-Level Cheats and Rootkits
- Memory Manipulation and Injection
- Spoofing and Hardware ID Manipulation
- Virtual Machines and Emulation
- Tampering with Anti-Cheat Systems
It feels very anti-linux, and I don’t like it, but with a good number of hours in BF6 so far, I have yet to run into an obvious cheater so maybe it works.

Yes, it’s cut down for the meme.
In reality, it would probably look more like this:
public class Singleton { private static readonly Lazy<Singleton> lazy = new Lazy<Singleton>(() => new Singleton()); private Singleton(){} public static Singleton Instance { get { return lazy.Value; } } }or this:
public class Singleton { private static readonly Singleton instance = new Singleton(); private Singleton(){} public static Singleton Instance => instance; }
