schestowitz[TR2]                                        <p>The update introduces HiDPI scaling controls directly in the Screens panel, making it easier for users to tune display clarity on high-resolution monitors. HiDPI icons have also been added across the panel, file manager, and several applications, improving sharpness and visual consistency. Additionally, the Wayland task switcher now includes icons. </p>Nov 25 13:30

schestowitz[TR2]"Perhaps a current or former IBM manager can weigh in. I have seen MANY people leave IBM and return. BUT I cannot say for sure how you are marked for return when you are RA'd or laid off. I would ASSUME and DOUBT your record is marked NEVER HIRE AGAIN but who knows. And OMG close the door on IBM and never look back and find a much better place. IBM has lost it's morale compass going from 1 of the world's greatest firms who cared DENov 25 14:53

schestowitz[TR2]@e7 is Hindi, Marathi , Gujarati, Tamil or Malayalam the new mandatory language of communication inside IBM ? It's sure as heck ain't English any more. The memos form India are as incomprehensible as the IBM quarterly results.Nov 25 14:53

schestowitz[TR2]@bw, it will be a miracle to find another job within IBM this late. Assuming, you are lucky, you will most likely have to through an interview process.Nov 25 14:53

schestowitz[TR2]@bw Sorry, no good, gentle, way to say this. You are done at IBM. They no longer want or need you. Your job is either been eliminated or moved to a place in the world where IBM thinks they can get more for less. Enjoy your Thanksgiving and leave IBM on whatever terms are best for you; not IBM. IBM for a long time has been in decline and has been and will be a den of inequity and incompetence and irrelevance where they have lost theNov 25 14:53
