I would say I'm fine supporting Microsoft by buying their laptops, I just don't want it to be surveiled and capitalized off of through spyware in the OS. I suggest going used instead of new, reason being, you can get really good specs that makes the license practically free. My current laptop is a thinkpad E14, the previous owner loaded it with 40 GB of ram and a 1tb ssd with a ryzen 7 7730. I paid $400 for that machine. If you don't mind going used with slightly older specs, maybe a haircrack or two, the payout is worth it.
Smart move. I did that as well
I knew this would be here, I did not think it would be at the top of the comments.
"Are you dislexic?!"

I disagree with your first point, when I started learning c++ I wanted to make an integral approximator, an approximator that takes any function and returns the approximate value. I already knew programming through java, and I'm not entirely used to the C++ syntax. Basically what I did to do my programming project that was "fun for me" was rush through the learning process, skipping detail of classes, inheritance, polymorphism, structs, linked lists, pointers and arrays, to get to lamda functions. Eventually I did get to learn c++ formally with my programming class, most of which I don't remember learning it during the summer. Its not that doing your own projects is bad, you just can't be overly ambitious on it.
No. physics is generalized to algebra, you don't need to know a lot of math to learn physics. Having more math will allow you to do more complicated problems and understand concepts the way it was discovered, but it isn't limited to those who know calculus.
Do not fully know the entire context, but based on what's given, it seems you enjoy math or majoring in mathematics. I think this isn't an overreaction on your end, this is asshole behavior.
To clarify, You have the option to learn math, you chose to learn math. I don't think that's greed or entitlement, you had the opportunity to learn math and you took that opportunity. Working comes into play when you are in a dire need to make money, and it seems you're not in that current situation.
I was once questioning my self-worth, since I wasn't working at community college. I remembered in 2023 I was doing arithmetic, and in 2025, exactly 2 years from when I started, I was doing multivariable calculus. Within 2 years I've surpassed every low expectation set upon me: people thought I was going to do a trade, I graduated with an associates in mathematics, and I'm now doing a bachelors in electrical engineering because I fucking can.
This random non has no idea of your back story, don't let him get into your head and make you doubt your self-worth. If you plan on doing engineering or physics the math that you are learning right the fuck now will be applied. By the time you start working there will be so much fucking money that you won't have a care going into debt. For fuck sake, I'm a sophomore, I could quit now and make $100,000 a year as an FPGA developer, technically speaking.
