You do. Backwards compatibility and not being able to play games on consoles of next gen. Most of us riding the border on these reqs have rigs that are like 8 years old.

Upgrading is the same as buying a new console except pc gamers only have to replace one or two components instead of the entire thing like a console.

Backwards compatibility doesn't matter to me. I don't buy a PS5 to play PS2 games

That's a lecturer. A professor has to worry about material for their course(s), students in their course(s), advise their grad students doing all kinds of different projects, deal with undergrad interns, seek funding on a consistent basis so they're writing a lot of proposals, write their own research papers, help organize and/or attend conferences to keep up with their research area and remain active in the community, (if the school/department gives a shit about the surrounding community) help organize outreach events, spend a nontrivial amount of time reading and giving feedback on dissertations if they are on their student's committee or are asked to be on another student's committee, navigate through department politics all in the quest to earn tenure, and I'm sure I'm leaving things out for certain areas since my experience is only in the computer science and engineering departments.

I wanted to be a professor when I started grad school and that tune quickly changed when I saw all the shit that my advisor had to deal with and how long she stayed in the office daily. So I went the research lab route instead.

Gonna revisit the previously asked question about how hard is it to shut the hell up when you don't know what you're talking about. I don't run my mouth over politics because I largely don't give a shit and not giving that much of a shit leaves me uninformed for a lot of complex political things. But it's never been a struggle to keep da trap shut and read.

You forgot to mention advising, recruiting, committee appointments, curriculum revision, university service, mentoring, independent studies....

I think the issue is that the vast majority of students don't engage in any academic activity in college besides going to class. So they kinda assume that's all there is.

Yep. The vast majority of students are dullards. No intellectual curiosity, want to do the least amount of work possible, and cry when their degree doesn't give them a six-figure job right away.

oh, so I guess higher positions in food service are based on merit and experience whereas in academia its based on how long you can park you ass in one place.

You don't have to guess, I've explained it to you. There is no difference between an Assistant, Associate and Full Professor outside of time served. NONE
