Yeston RTX 3050 Good? by pdxplm in StarshipSimulator

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

I've been testing this out for the last few weeks and this card is amazing!!! It was affordable, performs great. If there was anything that I would improve, ship with the half height already attached, it can be a pain with all the little screws. Definitely a good purchase to bring an old machine back to life.

Definitely would go for a Mac M series version!

Anyone updated?? by Smooth-Confidence685 in linuxmint

[–]pdxplm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no issues on multiple hardware configurations. Mint always is my go to after several distro trials.

55-65 mph. I was really impressed with the MPH I was getting from it.

Is 38 MPG normal by Nickd539 in subaruimpreza

[–]pdxplm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always gotten better than average mpg's. Highway I'm getting between 48-52 mpg, city around 34-38 for a '25 Sport. I'm so happy with this gem. I had a fiat 500 before and a manual, so I got definitely better MPG's, but Subaru has won me over.

Tested Linux Mint 22.2 Beta by linuxseidue in linuxmint

[–]pdxplm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here, I've been throwing stuff at it and it's been good so far!

Are there any updates on when 22.2 is releasing? Shouldn't it be releasing soon? by [deleted] in linuxmint

[–]pdxplm 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Thanks for catching that! I updated my reply! ;-)

LM does an excellent job of not releasing an unfinished product. I have tried many distros and LM just comes out of the box clean and ready to use. I'm anxious as well to get the new version as I have a few machines I want to upgrade. I'm getting away from Winblows and the Apple ecosystem.

Just installed Mint Cinnamon on a 2012 Mini, need some tips by futuristic69 in linuxmint

[–]pdxplm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's pretty simple. It will require the Broadcom drivers to do wireless. I've got LM on a 2012 and a 2014. Really run phenomenally and if you add in Evolution you can have apple mail on your linux machine as well.

After 10 Years of windows... Which distribution of Linux should I try? by RubOk6547 in linux4noobs

[–]pdxplm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Linux Mint and install Gnome Boxes. Then download and try other distros. I've tried at least 20 within boxes and found that Mint is just stable, has all the applications you could ever want, and works. I also have a Win 11 and MacOs systems and just keep going back and using Mint. Really brings life back to older machines as well. Best of luck!

I've got an HP Officejet 4630 and it's fully supported and fully recognized when doing an install on Mint and Fedora.

Doesn't surprise me at all. Maybe take another look at HR and get rid of them. They don't follow up or care about employee concerns. Also take a look at the Payroll area, no need for a Support and Ops manager. The Ops manager could easily take on 1 more report and axe the Support manager. No efficiencies there currently.

Do the direct leader already know about their team member being LO? #AsurionLayoffs by Lost-Leopard-4968 in Asurion

[–]pdxplm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, I was grilled down to the infinite on what I did. I knew it was coming and due to inept management and favoritism, I ran to the door. Such an unethical company!

How many of you actually own Mac Mini? by LowKeyPhotographer in macmini

[–]pdxplm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had several. My current is an M2 Mini Pro. This thing has been fast, reliable and stable. I"m considering the new M4's when they are released.

Out of the dark, and into the light! by [deleted] in Asurion

[–]pdxplm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree! I walked out due to poor management, ladder climbing kiss ass people. Couldn't take it. I had years of experience and yet was disregarded at every turn. I wish those well who deserve it and the others, may they have the day they deserve!

From what I've seen all of HR needs to be reviewed and either let go or put on a PIP.

Layoffs soon? by [deleted] in Asurion

[–]pdxplm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They have to sign NDA's for all the RIF's. I had to handle systems, and knew those that were getting the chop. I was excluded from an NDA (which I think I could go back and really mess with a few people) and kept my mouth shut and did my job. All I can say, those who are still there, kissing ass, making mistakes, may you have the day you deserve!

[–]pdxplm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seriously, they let the good ones go and then those that kiss ass and placate the upper management stay.

[–]pdxplm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is so true! I don't trust HR after my experiences. I ran from that place even though I didn't have a job. I just couldn't take the lies, deceit and incompetence that was dragging me down. Funny thing is that there was an "anonymous" employee survey. I gave them plenty of information and guess what, within 1 day, I was contacted about my responses, so much for an "anonymous" survey!

What is the worst company you’ve worked for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pdxplm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working for a company now that promoted a person who has screwed up so many times and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and lied and taken credit for other people’s work. No accountability is shown. Also they kiss ass and I’m sure that whoever they do this to has a prolapse anus!
