> [@tlammert](#): > > Buying stuff and selling it for half of the price is a bad business model… Not if you can resell it multiple times. 😊 I use the same Steam account in my iMac, my PC, my MacBook. But I haven’t paid 3 times for the games. That means i could have gained at least 2 times the sum spent for each game if I managed to resell it to other people, still keeping a copy for myself. But it could be more, I don’t know what is (if there is) the maximum number of devices you can use with the same steam account. DISCLAIMER: this behavior is illegal, don’t do this at home. ---

I agree about the ability of doing calculations but depending on how you use a computer, it can be an incredibly powerful tool to improve your understanding of math and your ability to find clever solutions to a problem or nifty algorithms that are based on math. ---

Very true. Just yesterday I learned about the Intersecting Chords Theorem precisely because I needed a way to figure out the center point of a circle of unknown size. Prior to yesterday, I was aware that chords existed, but never had any reason to use them to solve a problem. Trying to develop a calibration function gave me a reason to learn about chords in the first place, and computers also made it possible to visualize the math and start working on a solution. I’ve also been learning about vector math for very similar reasons. [Previous page](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/illegal-thimbleweed-park-immaterial-game-selling/1624.md?page=1)
