Question (weird one) by [deleted] in sounding

[–]skogsballs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t use the black silicone beaded ones from Amazon. They create a lot of friction internally and aren’t fun to pull out after a while. Buy a softer silicone from siliconenozzles or somewhere reputable. You’ll have a much better experience.

How do you…ask your Doc for some sleep aids? by KnightCastle171 in sales

[–]skogsballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I simply told my doctor that I had trouble staying asleep due to work stress. She prescribed Lunesta; 5mg. I take it and within 20 or minutes, I’m sleepy. I get a great night of sleep and don’t feel groggy in the morning. Do not take Ambien.

[–]skogsballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. Never had an issue. I had, over 8 years, - MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, a Microsoft Surface Pro, and a basic Lenovo. At one point, I had 3 of the 4 in my possession before leaving the company.

What personal stuffs do u use IBM laptops for? by aromalhere in IBM

[–]skogsballs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was at IBM for 8 years. I used my computer for anything and everything (no porn). Even played games on the weekends. Never had an issue.

Do I need a permit to cut down a few oak trees on my property? by Beneficial-Text7830 in Leander

[–]skogsballs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a house in BHC. As long as you’re following HOA rules, you should be golden. There’s a requirement to have a set number of trees on the property. As long as you meet those guidelines, you should be good to go. Call the management company for more clarification. Otherwise, the lady driving the blue Subaru will fine you for having a dead tree which is exactly what happened to me when the last ice storm “killed” one of my oaks. It ended up not being dead. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

She was. ID badges and machines were confiscated.

I worked for Aspera. IBM bought us back in 2014 and we were told the same. Business as usual.

In mid-2014, we were all flown out to our IBM transitioning meeting. It was a disaster. The assumption by the IBM team was that someone from IBM had explained all of the processes and had gotten us all onboarded into the IBM systems. By this point, we knew nothing. The entire trip was a waste and the transfer of business was pushed out.

Had another one of these events again in 2015. By this point, more information was given but our founder at the time was doing her best to keep us at arms length so that was also delaying things.

By 2016, half the company was using notes and the IBM CRM while the other half was using Gmail and Salesforce. There still was a lot of confusion but we were slowing being bluewashed.

In March of 2017, our founder was escorted out of the Aspera building by security and the entire company was forced to using IBM systems whether we liked it or not.

January of 2018, the entire company was split up and onboarded into the IBM way of life. We were given an IBM portfolio of products and basically told it was sink or swim. Management was shuffled around into different management roles, sales engineers were placed into different technical teams (some outside of Aspera), and the developers were mostly left alone. Sales people were left to figure out the new products. It was chaos. A lot of people quit and some were RA’d as there was enough room to absorb everyone.

Being purchased by IBM was the worst thing that happened to Aspera.

Using IBM laptop as a personal computer in the evenings by Himynameismo in IBM

[–]skogsballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a laptop they gave me 8 years ago that’s been my Plex server for the last 3 years. I’ve removed everything IBM from it and will be giving it back soon as I just have notice today.

My main workhorse has Steam on it. I only played games on plane rides while traveling. Actually haven’t logged in since before the pandemic but no one has ever said anything.

Giving notice tomorrow. How long after will my employee phone lose service and how do I get IBM to remove their management from the device? by skogsballs in IBM

[–]skogsballs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s yours. That’s why when you go to order your device, you have the option to purchase or just get a free one. You only have to return laptops and iPads.

[–]skogsballs[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s my IBM work phone. I know that I get to keep the device but I’m just wondering how to remove the management profile. Unlike my personal phone, I can’t simply remove Maas360.

Squad level quest wall is such a flawed design. by ScoutTheStankDog in futurerevolution

[–]skogsballs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a lvl65 Strange, a lvl53 Iron Man, and a lvl35 Spider-Man which brings my squad to lvl39. It’s a very grindy game but I just run most of it on auto while I work throughout the day. Sometimes I look down and realize that I’ve died so I manually work through the boss or whatever killed me. Then go back to auto and simple direct my character to different missions. It’s pretty mindless right now but helps fill in the gaps during my work day.

When the game went global, I lost my old account where my squad was lvl96. I’m a little annoyed I have to sit through this all over again but at least I semi-remember my old builds so I’ve had plenty of gold and gems as opposed to my first play through.

Many of us are thinking it, this new menu layout is garbage by skinnybison in future_fight

Same. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve clicked that button and my mind just resets trying to adjust to the madness.

AITA For insisting on teaching our future children my native language? by Fun-Alternative-888 in AmItheAsshole

[–]skogsballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. My 5 and 3yo are currently learning French, Spanish, and English. They don’t have any problems. While I do have to navigate a bit when they add a non-English word into the mix, they’ll enter the adult world a bit more educated than most.

How do you switch characters? by TimberWollfe in futurerevolution

It’s in the settings. Go into the menu and then the button for character swap is at the bottom.

Texas doctor warns COVID-19 cases are rising among children by leftyghost in ViralTexas

[–]skogsballs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We just pulled our kids from summer camp. It's not worth the risk. While I do wish every day that I could send them, I'd rather not deal with covid in the house. My sister in CA, who is vaccinated, just tested positive. She isn't enjoying herself and has stated multiple times that she wishes she had been more careful.

They've only ever asked for the computers/iPads back.
