| schestowitz[TR2] | <blockquote> | Dec 28 11:27 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>Until recently, my Slimbook Executive laptop has worked beautifully. For a year, it had a spotless record, it worked elegantly, without any major issues or errors. Then, in a span of just one month, so many things went badly, a result of poorly tested and integrated firmware and system updates that turned my sweet machine into a nerdy sandbox. In fact, I don't care why or how, the | Dec 28 11:27 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | end result was: keyboard issues, mouse issues, network management issues, power management issues. </p> | Dec 28 11:27 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p> My tribulations are outlined in three progressive worse long-term reports on my usage of this machine, from the mildly skeptical fifth to angry sixth to fully disenchanted and bitter seventh article on this topic. Sure, a fresh wave of updates did resolve most of the problems, but not all. Power management remains iffy. However, I think I'm starting to see a pattern, and there may | Dec 28 11:27 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | be some workarounds. If you're a Kubuntu 22.04 user, and your Plasma box is experiencing some weird power management problems, I might be able to help. </p> | Dec 28 11:27 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Ageism is the biggest drawback in this horrible and pathetic Democrat run economy in the USA. The employers only like young and inexperienced so they can pay less. But you get what you pay for, don't you ? On the other hand, I have found smaller companies which have senior and experienced staff who are running the place from the back office, so there is still hope. AI will likely take over more and more jobs over the next few years | Dec 28 21:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | . ( IMHO, It's relentless in it's capabilities and will eventually rule the world. But AI can't do everything, yet.) | Dec 28 21:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Friends, accquaintances and contacts through personal networking can be very helpful in your job search. Social Media sites like LinkedIn, Indeed and the like have questionable value (worthless in my experience). They want your money and do nothing for you (LinkedIn in particular) except lie about fake and aged openings which you apply for and get nowhere. Social Media sites are like the Boulevard Of Broken Dreams for most people. | Dec 28 21:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Your mileage will vary, of course. | Dec 28 21:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The worst job outplacement service is the one IBM offers when they lay you off - Randstad RiseSmart. Went through 3 coaches, all were worse than useless, only good was wasting 30 minutes of time. They work with you for 6 months and give you an ineffective resume. Ended up doing it myself and that did miles better when sending through my network. | Dec 28 21:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Being unemployed now in the USA is not fun, especially when there are fewer job opportunities than ever before for tech folks. IBM is not the only company laying off people. The competition is fierce but if you can find work at a small company, you're doing well. The pay might not be great but you might have more stability in a lousy economy. And be prepared to take a lower job to get your foot in the door, as they say. | Dec 28 21:49 |
