簡單來講，這個組織唯一的上網管道是用每MB計價的衛星網路

然後他們的電腦不聲不響地下載了6GB的Win10更新檔...

I live in the Central African bush. We pay for slow satellite internet (per
MB d/l). Just ONE of our computers has secretly d/l'ed 6GB for Windows 10. We
track & coordinate anti-poaching rangers in the field with these PC's + GPS.
F* You Microsoft!

Self Explanatory. Aside from the fact that we pay per MB, and already share a
slow connection, if a forced upgrade happened and crashed our pc's while in
the middle of coordinating rangers under fire from armed militarized
poachers.. blood could literally be on MS's hands. I just came here recently
to act as their pilot.. but have IT skills as well. The guy who set these
pc's up didn't know how to prevent it, or set a metered connection. I am
completely livid. Screenshot

Edit: Just want to say thanks for the interest and donations! I was just
trying to blow off some steam. It's a stressful environment to be sure. And
to those criticizing about the lack of proper IT staff.. There's a lot of
things we could wish for. You just try to do the best you can with what's
available.. this is the bush.. and it's a worthy cause.

It's against the rules for me to post links here, but a mod has given
permission to mention our facebook page (where you can learn more about our
work and how you can support with our linked crowdfunding page). Simply
search for "Chinko Project, CAR" in the facebook search box. Also, If you are
interested in seeing more about our operation (imgur albums) check out my
comment below (with proof too).. thanks alot

Edit #2: /u/FATstuntman suggested that if we raised the money for the
ultralight plane, we name it Planey McPlaneface. You're damn straight we
would! :)

Final Edit: Once the generators are turned off, the batteries to keep the
internet up won't last all night. A few people have asked for an AMA.. I can
speak towards bush flying in general & bush IT stuff.. but I'll get my
founder to join in and answer the cooler questions about anti-poaching life &
the organization. So if you're interested, we'll try to set that up tomorrow
@ 11:30 EST :) thanks everyone.

無論在什麼遊戲中，只有勇於面對的人才會獲得報酬。
遊戲雖然不是人生，但人生卻是遊戲。
最糟糕的遊戲平衡度，不親切的NPC，前後矛盾的劇本。
但是，能不能享受這個遊戲則在於個人。
即使是垃圾遊戲，真正投入的話或許能感受到意外的樂趣，結束時反而會認為這是個名作
