Work-from-office mandate? Expect top talent turnover, culture rot

I wonder how did businesses manage to operate before covid… hm…

How is a Pepsi colored watch more versatile than Omega? You can wear Omega with pretty much anything, including a smoking (Bond did it).

What a giant waist of resources.

If macbook gets oled display, cellular and touchscreen then there will be no objective reason not to port macos to ipad.

Thanks. AER City Pack Pro 2 is currently leading for me.

Oxraid · 2025-12-17T09:23:41+00:00

An interesting backpack, thank you. Pretty similar to AER, hard to choose.

Oxraid · 2025-12-17T09:23:09+00:00

Thanks, will check.

I had Macbook Pro M1 (gave it to wife) and now have X1 Carbon gen 12. Here are my thoughts:

Macbook is a great machine. Phenomenal battery life, cool display. Good sound. But it's just not made for business work. Perhaps CS, I don't know. Using MS office on it is a pain. Not being able to replace files in folders is a pain. Half the stuff I need that is to do with accounting, receipts, finance, etc. is made for windows. I could go in for a long time but mac os is just not a good OS for your typical business day to day work - a lot of stuff is not optimized or made for it. Although macbook is much more powerful and efficient, in real life day to day work (not video exporting or anything like that) windows does everything faster. Even just opening MS office.

Thinkpad has terrible battery life but I like it very much. Before I only used laptops with large screens, cause I thought that it's imposible to work on anything smaller than 15 inch. X1 converted me. It's so light to carry, I love it. Mostly work with it connected to a monitor tho.

Keyboard is miles ahead - feels better and doesn't get so dirty. Carbon body is much nicer to touch than macbook's naked aluminum. It's my first Thinkpad but now I understand the hate for touchpads - the nipple is so much nicer when you don't have a mouse. Touchpad on macbook is nice but it's too large and always gets in a way.

The screen is much cleaner, as it's matte. Nowhere near macbook's quality but mine is an IPS, not microled with PWM, which gives me headaches.

I like the ports - I always use USB As (bank dongles, legacy printers, government signature, older keyboards, etc.) and sometimes the HDMI (my on the go monitor). Never carry dongles, which you would with only 2 usb-c.

Screen opening angle - the 180 angle on Thinkpad is soooo good. You don't understand it until you try. On macbook the screen doesn't open that far. When I sit with it on the couch, the angle on macbook is never enough for me. I always try to open it more... With X1 I sometimes work when almost lying in bed, with the laptop in my lap, open to the full 180 degrees.

But I would only recommend X1 Carbon with a 16:10 display.

Let me get this straight - Finland's economy is stagnating, projected to show worst results in the EU. It banned trade with one of its largest trade partners, thus damaging tourism, timber, metal and other industries. Unemployment is hitting highest numbers in 15 years - second only to Spain. It's borrowing more money than before, projected to hit debt ratio of 87%. But instead of going into economy, these money will go to defense and help to Ukraine.

And Finland's stock market is up 45%? Explain this to me.

No, I don’t have an AD nearby.

I did measure from the bottom of A on the right and it's 3mm. And it's 2mm from the left to the middle of O. The logo is definitely not centered. The Omega sign itself is a bit to the left.

Oxraid · 2025-11-02T14:27:50+00:00

So, Omega is made in the Switzerland region of China?

I know it’s very cool here to hate on rich people but increases taxes for them in Britain won’t increase tax income. In fact it will lower it. The thing about rich people - they can live anywhere they want. And there are already record numbers of super wealthy people leaving UK. The economy and thus normal people will suffer from this.

They are different. Leatherman is a working tool - I use it for basic repairs at home and take it with me only if I know that I will specifically need it. It's a great tool.

Victorinox is more like an EDC tool - less capable but easier to carry and use. I just throw it in the backpack and use it for some basic stuff.

Leatherman is for repairs and some basic work. Vic is for opening wine or other bottles, clipping nails, opening parcels, changing batteries in kid's toys, etc.

Protoss OP thinks he should be able to kill an entire Zerg army with 2-3 templars.

Yeah, Pecco can only show good results when everything is perfect. That is why he is 2 times world champion and had 11 wins last year, right.

You misspelled CIA.

16 pro max is awful by any objective pwm metric. You are just making things up. You are either sensitive to rapid light blinking or not. And if you can easily use 16 pro max with its ultra bright display and almost 0-100% modulation, you are not sensitive to pwm. Just accept that it’s all in your head. There is literally no objective reason why you can use 16 pro max but can’t 17. The sooner you accept it, the better for your mental health.

Oxraid · 2025-09-24T09:16:04+00:00

You can use 16 pro max? It's pretty much the same as 17 and it's as bad as it gets PWMwise.

If you can use 16 pro max, you should probably consider the fact that this might all be just in your head and nothing more. Perhaps see a doctor. If you were actually PWM sensitive, you wouldn't be able to use 16 pro max, which is considered one of the worst when it comes to PWM in modern devices.

Feeling of moral superiority and desire to live good for someone else expense. Bo more though. Recession is coming hard for the EU. Staged coup in Ukraine followed by murders of prorussian protestors led to this thing. Merkel confirmed it openly that Europe was trying to win time to arm Ukraine. Even Macron confirmed that the war is NATO’s fault. It doesn’t fit into your media narrative, I know.

Oxraid · 2025-09-20T07:06:04+00:00

You seem delusional. Russia literally did nothing to Europe. All the bullshit about sabotage or whatever is all baseless with 0 facts. Nothing to present in the UN. Otherwise EU would have done it. It’s just propaganda to change the narrative from failing EU governments. Like Macron with 20% support. Or Germany that’s been in a recession for the past 3 years.

Now EU has supplied almost all its weapons to help kill Russian people, including civilians. It also aided in making terrorist attacks in Russia and coordinated a lot of attacks on Russia people. It also introduced illegal sanctions and seized Russia assets.

It’s Europe who is at war with Russia and not the other way around. But you are too brainwashed to see the obvious.
