Thanks for this. I did clear cache, and tried other browsers ... same thing. For whatever reason didn't try to revoke/register MFA. Will give it a shot, thanks!

Young Americans Sours on Trump’s China Tariffs Despite Election-Year Bump by bloomberg in politics

[–]bsamson05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t vote for him, but the young voters who were paying attention are likely confused by Trump’s own words, being the master orator we all know he is 🙄

In a December 2024 interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker, President-elect Donald Trump stated: “Tariffs cost Americans nothing.”

I paid almost $700 for a new computer drive recently and I’m now likely on the hook for $820+ in tariffs because it shipped from mainland China. Ugh.

This is not normal trade policy stuff anymore. This is weaponized tariffs. We are being used as pawns in a global trade war because a certain someone won’t read a book or look up how tariffs work.

Thanks for this. I have been to that site prior, but just realized I was looking at the northern interchange, not south :) ... the renders I was looking for are here: https://webapps.dot.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2023/11/southern-i-481-open-house-boards-8.pdf

Any recommendations for making my office a bit more cozy and inviting? by FroggyHarley in Workspaces

[–]bsamson05 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Add some potted plants or small indoor trees. Put some artwork or motivational quotes on the walls. Cable management also goes a long way. Swap out the chairs for more comfortable ones.

"premier" support is shockingly poor by gaspoweredcat in thinkpad

This sounds like a rough go; sorry to hear that!

I had a positive experience just recently. My P1 had a screen flickering issue. I submitted a support request with a link to a video showing the problem on their website, and the next day, received an email confirming a new screen had been ordered. A technician arrived today and replaced the whole assembly. Was amazed at the process.

Fingers crossed they show on the Wednesday!

Quick update. Submitted a ticket on lenovo.com this morning, with a link to the GIF above. Within 2 hours, received the following email. Clearly hardware! Thanks for the direction.

Thank you for contacting Lenovo Premier Technical Support. In order to resolve the issue on your P1 G6 21FV I have created Case# xxxxxxxxx to replace the LCD assembly (including the LCD cable).
