What is the best model of used ThinkPad to purchase?

  • X1 for ultra portability.

    Otherwise, T14 or T15.

    • Worth the effort to obtain a copy of MS Office on the high seas? *SOLVED

  • @Reverendender

    OnlyOffice Desktop Editors...

    Simpler interface but lacking more advanced features of MS Office or Libre. It has the features 90% of users actually use though.

    Nearly perfect DOCX formatting compatibility. The only thing I have ever noticed when collaborating with Word users is the bullet symbols on list items may be different on my end.

  • Common courtesy is to not even link to paywalled articles... The publisher has already made it clear they are not interested in public awareness of their content.

    • How China Miscalculated Its Way to a Baby Bust: A missile scientist used mathematical models to push the nation’s one-child policy. Its legacy is proving hard to shake.

    Jump

  • Good news everyone! We all DO have this problem... It's just most obvious in China because they industrialized and urbanized more rapidly than anyone else AND had this stupid legal policy.

    Industrialization, urbanization and improving healthcare also significantly drops births, to below the replacement rate of 2.1. The whole world is on this path, with China, Japan, South Korea, Germany and Russia leading the way.

    • Broadcom CEO tells VMWare workers to 'get butt back to office' after completing a $69 billion merger of the two companies

    Jump

  • Should probably have dictated the ultimatum first, before firing anyone, so they could self-select the departures. Then, if it's not enough, cut some more to get the final numbers the manglers want.

  • Travel between worksites is on the clock.

    We've demonstrated for years now that home is a worksite.

    I'm happy to drive in to the company office from my personal office, so long as my commute time is on the clock.

    • Return to office is ‘dead,’ Stanford economist says. Here’s why

  • Eroding that boundary can also be in your favor... I can step away from the desk for a few minutes to start my laundry, prep something for dinner, or even just go to the grocery store during "lunch" because I can bring the food straight back home since I'm not far away from home at an office. Working remotely is giving me back time. And this isn't time "lost" from the employer's perspective... I'm just doing something useful with my break times rather than wandering down to the water-cooler to chat with other employees.

    The trick is to allow only the erosion that you find acceptable. That's a matter of personal organization and self-control, and each person has to set up a system that works best for them. I use a spare bedroom as my office, and I only go in there during working hours. Everything work-related stays in there.
