We got lenovo's in my last job. I did support software tools for internal usage. Pay was low but work was not overbearing and I could have spent my whole life there. Current job, I got a MinisForum mini PC, what does that mean?

You will never receive any acknowledgement or raises.

So what if all the desks are set up with thin or zero clients.

[-] Malfeasant@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

Layoffs will be a regular occurrence. Think you're safe because you have a lot of seniority? My wife was laid off by Chase just a couple weeks before her 20 year anniversary. Funnily enough, they had just switched everyone to thin clients a year or two before.

Lol I got a layoff notice last Thursday at another financial institute. Our whole environment is Lenovo. I noticed at the end of last year that 2025s upcoming EOL refresh was going to be all thin laptop conversions.

But don't worry guys, I can apply for 10 dollars less an hour to the new contractor they are bring on to delay the inevitable.

I've had so many Dell Laptops...

What about a Framework laptop?

Edit: or a desktop that you can remote into from your personal machine if you want to work outside the office?

[-] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 7 points 8 months ago

Wouldn't it either be a really new start up or a non profit foss group? Talking about framework

[-] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

In my friend's case, it's a web development company that's been around for at least a decade. His previous machine at the same company was a Dell, I think.

Yes, having a work desktop (or a virtual insurance somewhere) is great.

Especially if you need to run some intensive jobs.

My company switched from Lenovo to Toshiba... what does that mean?

My company just switched from Lenovo to Dell and gets rid of 20% of the workforce

[-] bonkers@nerdculture.de 3 points 8 months ago

@reallykindasorta didn't they stop making trackpoint on ThinkPads?

[-] reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net 3 points 8 months ago

I see some news about it but my work just upgraded ours recently and they still have it! Must be the version right after. RIP trackpoint.
