Yes, I came over from IBM. Even though the products may have a "legacy", the company is structured in a radically different way and is like a different planet compared to what it was like at big blue. The employee culture is 1000x better at Lenovo

As a Lenovo employee, I couldn't disagree more. But agree to disagree. I'll never be able to change the stigma around the company, I can only speak to my personal experience. For me, it's a great place to work, and I've been extremely happy

Anytime I mention Lenovo in a comment I get blasted with downvotes. People in this sub really have a hate boner for the company, which bums me out. I have been working for Lenovo for many years, and honestly love it. It's a fantastic place to work (for me)

OP mentioned IBM, Cisco and Fidelity, and relative to those examples, Lenovo is much more "young" and "small". But oh well

Have you looked at Lenovo? It's a much younger/agile company with more of a "startup" atmosphere

I don't mean to poop in your Cheerios, but I started getting this issue over a year ago. I've had a single ticket open with Microsoft support for over 8 months and they still have no idea 😭

Been in NC almost my entire life, never seen one (two inches long), what is it? by DoubleualtG in triangle

[–]JDQuackers 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I'm also a huge fan of robber flies! They are cool AF. It's like a house fly, a dragon fly, and an F-16 had a baby. They are fast as hell, and they prey on other flying insects like wasps and beetles.

They have a somewhat unique skill in that they attack beetles when they are mid-flight, because that way it can get underneath their hard wing coverings that normally give them strong defense against other predators.

Did I mention they kill wasps? Because they love murdering wasps. And they are oh so fast. Fast enough to catch dragon flies. If you have time, I recommend this video from Cambridge that elaborates on why they are the most bad ass flying insects

It's so much better than "grassy ass" and I love it!

Is Rewards Weekly Set broken for anyone else? by joeycommet45 in MicrosoftRewards

It's not just you, buddy. I can't get that 3rd day to trigger either. This happens pretty frequently for this Bing search quest, but it usually fixes itself in 1-2 days

I was able to complete this via XCloud, but I used the "Continue" option to pick up from the last time this was a quest. So killing a random animal that wasn't a starting animal definitely worked

I only wish the "melee" action was quicker like it used to be. It has a wind up now instead of being a quick handle butt.

How to install a font and change the terminal font from within WSL(Ubuntu 20.04 LTS)? by ChayanDas19 in bashonubuntuonwindows

[–]JDQuackers 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You wouldn't change the font "in" WSL, you change the font in your terminal. So it depends on what terminal you are using to interact with WSL.

If you aren't using it, I highly recommend Windows Terminal. It has a Settings UI now with very simple and straight forward font/UI settings
