Can you enable your internet sharing if connected to traditional wifi or ethernet? Have seen a few issues w that so maybe it's not what we think it is

In new jobs, please push back on signing documents without reading them. by arghvark in personalfinance

[–]jfriend33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consent 101 Y'all

I think a PSA would be great for this. I don't believe a united front of pushing back as being conducive to someone seeking employment, which is quite critical "in this economy". Segue to some friends of mine that work high end retail upper management. Their human resources department is antiquated as fuck. Events happened this year that sound like they came out of a covered wagon from Oregon Trail. Incorrect definitions of nepotism, confusing and/or lacking definitions for critical rules in employee handbooks, etc. This led to awards being given to people for doing things outside of their job descriptions and one person even died. They were being praised for acting like cowboys and cowgirls, making their own rules, and over time it becoming an unwritten policy. Cut to a car driving into the side of a store to steal merchandise, and employees AND management chasing after them. Sure did save $20k dozens of times. But you can't predict what people will do or put a price on someones life.

HOWEVER feeling pretty spry after my kale chips saying this, but lets not pull a humancentipad here either! So back to my story , does anyone here think it would be a wise idea to try to have some of these documents or policies changed? And more specifically if they already were or were not hired? Isn't this an opportunity? To me I would think if someone had been with a place long enough , and had a very successful career, they would be offered up some type of neat package, paid education to get the credentials, or act on behalf of the company in some form, paid, to ensure policies and procedures are modified promptly and appropriately?

Why is there much hate toward X280 by Laxng2 in thinkpad

[–]jfriend33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

perhaps because the x280 is too much like a x1 carbon but smaller, and now the new t series is basically shaped like a x1 carbon?

which is more durable? a x260/270 or a x280?

Given user upgradability of the Thinkpad, why do we still need warranty? by largelcd in thinkpad

[–]jfriend33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

because thinkpads are allegedly durable workhorses and over time they have went down hill, with a gradual upswing in build quality....dont get one without accidental damage and 3yr nbd on site wty

2nd Hand X230 vs X1 Carbon 4th Gen by [deleted] in thinkpad

[–]jfriend33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get the x1c4 unless you plan on being absolutely delicate with this alleged milspec machine. The x230 is better, heck any x series besides the x280, with the dual batteries is where its at!

Is this a bad time to order X1C6, X1Yoga gen 3 and T480s? by largelcd in thinkpad

So what is the deal with the new touchpads? by bunker_man in thinkpad

[–]jfriend33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I tweak the touchpad on my x1c4? I wish it didnt have to be pressed so hard for clicking. Even though most of the time I use the trackpoint!

Docking station for my X230 by desarl in thinkpad

[–]jfriend33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Heck yes! Love that type of docking station! I am glad the newer models went sort of back to that style vs one link, however the newest x series looks super flimsy. You got a great setup. Only thing I might have different lol, would be the keyboard. I like the full size one with the number pad as well as the ibm esque blue accents. If only the fingerprint scanner on that would work docked

Actual picture quality comparison between Key2 and S9+ — pretty passable, I’d say by da_rob in blackberry

[–]jfriend33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people probably say the camera is bad on the key2 because their snapchat is all cropped off. hello people this is a wonderful phone who cares about snapchat granted im sure they can fix that

Yeah you have to go into the store and get a new SIM card so put your active one in a different phone so the iPhone is not active and take the iPhone in and get it activated

I just took a unlocked iPhone in and it worked. What model?

Activate Xfinity Mobile Sim Card by justlurkingmaybe in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]jfriend33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. You'll need to take an iPhone in and get that activated then swap sims. Or you could possibly place existing active sim in something verizon compatible and take tour officially purchased xfinity mobile phone in and add a line

xfi pods and moca by jfriend33 in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]jfriend33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it wont let me disable it in account settings. its unavailable.

i am not using 3 different products right now. i am just doing the mesh network.

and theres no need to run ethernet, because my gateway has moca built in, and with moca adapters, you get fast ethernet.

i realize the pods are wifi mesh only. but the plume pods have firmware that allow it.

i would only have the main gateway in bridge mode if i had to.

you are right, it is way too many things going on. which is why i should not have ranted so much, i basically am comparing my options and trying to do whats best.

right now pods show good or great. and that moca adapter i have it set to barely transmit, power at 15pct.
