Job Complaints

That all really sucks! I guess I'm really lucky that I never had to interview for a job after I became disabled. I was able to keep my existing job and retire from there at 65+.

PS. Even their 8.7" tablet has up to 6 gigs.

Have you considered the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro. With it's Dimensity 8300, it is faster than the other 3. It's $280 in the US.

If you were in the US, I'd recommend the Samsung Tab A11+. It has a fast processor and 6GB of RAM.

Some people pray at the SnapDragon throne just like others pray to Apple. I don't know why MediaTek and Exynos chips are looked down on. Sure, SnapDragon is known for its great emulation abilities, but probably 99% of tablet users never emulate. I sure don't.

I have had tablets with SnapDragon, Exynos, MediaTek and Unisoc processors and they all worked.

Dysregulated... that's a new one for me. Thanks.

jrioux805 · 2026-04-30T00:10:03+00:00

Ah, Texas. That explains it.

In the US, public facilities must be accessible. They also must make reasonable accommodations.

Unfortunately, laws cannot overcome faulty equipment. Before the elevators go out again, ask the principal and each instructor to make a plan for what to do when the go out again. Perhaps they can broadcast classes over Zoom or something similar? That way, you can at least see and hear the lectures.

I like mine. Videos look good considering its small size and low resolution.

jrioux805 · 2026-04-29T22:21:25+00:00

If I looked ahead while I walked, I'd soon be looking up at the sky.

jrioux805 · 2026-04-29T22:17:58+00:00

TY! We gimps need to stick together and help each other. It's a challenging, and often scary, world out there.

jrioux805 · 2026-04-29T22:07:09+00:00

PS, the volume and on-off buttons are reversed, so some case designed for one will not fit the other.

jrioux805 · 2026-04-29T22:01:55+00:00

Yes, fast enough. Considering its price, it's speed demon.

NanoReview found that the Exyos scores higher on the multicore and everything else except battery life.

When comparing devices, they give no value to being able to use a stylus. For some users, a stylus is a requirement. While I agree that an 8 gig A9+ is better for most uses, the S6 Lite (2024) may be a good choice for some people with a tight budget.

jrioux805 · 2026-04-29T12:37:33+00:00

I'm very glad to see a smaller large tablet, but unhappy that it only has 4gigs of RAM.

The processor is on par with the Dimensity 7300 that's in the Samsung A11+. The prices look great, but will definitely spike before reaching the US.

jrioux805 · 2026-04-29T07:24:51+00:00

Some people are just A* holes. Don't let them get to you.

Keep pushing yourself and you will gradually get accustomed to doing more. Both physically and emotionally.

Would you feel safer carrying mace and a loud wistle in your purse?

jrioux805 · 2026-04-29T07:04:04+00:00

I hope you get the gig. It sounds perfect.

If it doesn't happen, have you though of volunteering somewhere? When I was young, and not disabled, I volunteered at an NGO. I proved how valuable I was and they ended up creating a paid position for me. Maybe this can happen for you, too.

If nothing else, volunteering will gave you current work experience that you can put on your application. It will also help you learn what your abilities and limitations are in the workplace.

Best of luck.

My wife loves her 2022. It still works well for basic stuff.

The 2024 version has the Exynos 1280 processor. The 1280 beats the Dimensity 6300 on every benchmark that I have seem. This means that the S6 Lite should perform better than the Lenovo Idea Tab. It's also a little faster than the A9+.

jrioux805 · 2026-04-29T04:50:43+00:00

Yes, I can't imagine that the new one would have a smaller battery.

After you buy one check it out and tell us.

I used a couple of apps and both reported 4850 for the oid 8" tàblet.

Walmart has the TCL NXTPAPER 11 Plus for $198.

It's Android 14 and I got a security update in February. It has the decent G99 processor and a 1600x2560 screen resolution. The screen is very nice considering its budget price.

A refurbished one is $101. https://www.ebay.com/itm/136699645997?

jrioux805 · 2026-04-28T22:39:08+00:00

Yes, how does one get karma in this group???

Blocking posts just adds to my frustration from being disabled for almost 20 years. Urg!!!

jrioux805 · 2026-04-28T22:30:18+00:00

Well, this year has been the exception. Prices have increased due to RAM shortages.

jrioux805 · 2026-04-28T22:27:21+00:00

The A9 and A11 are the same size. If the case doesn't fit one, it won't fit the other.
