How do you process a big traumatic event like being laid off? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] 2 points 2 days ago

I'd say it's better. I don't know the actual difference but I always thought about it as redundancy is your employer saying that they don't need people doing your job anymore, or they don't need as many people doing it. In other words, it's the role itself that's being eliminated.

Being laid off sounds to me like you're fired but for no real reason, but they don't want to call it a firing. Like in an at will state in the US. It's not a thing where I am though, if they want to fire you they need a good reason and there's a process to follow.

That's just what I think though, so might not be accurate

    Pixelsnap magnets (feddit.uk)
     

    Has anyone tried those magnets that you can attach to your case to make it pixel snap compatible? I recently bought a pixel 10 pro XL, and the case I got isn't a magsafe one. I got a 3rd party phone holder for the car, but because of the case it's not strong enough to hold the phone.

    I like the design on the case, so I'd rather not have to buy a new one, but I don't know how effective those stick on magnets are. Ideally I'd like one that goes on the inside of the case, but I don't know if they would be strong enough.

    Has anyone here tried these stick on magnets? If so, which one, and how is it?

    Playstation Plus streaming on Steam Deck (feddit.uk)
     

    Has anyone managed to get Playstation Plus streaming working on the deck recently? I've seen posts/articles saying it's possible, but I've not been able to get it to actually work.

    After installing the ps plus app, downloading the missing dll, and launching via proton experimental, I just get an error when I reach the sign in page.

    Has anyone else encountered this, and managed to get passed it?

    Edit: to clarify, I'm talking about cloud streaming. For remote play, I use Chiaki

    Edit 2: I tried again and it just worked. I have no idea why. Guess I just needed to ask about it here for it to magically start working 😂

    Where is the best place to buy a refurbished laptop? (feddit.uk)
     

    I'm looking to buy a laptop for things like browsing the internet, admin stuff like sorting out important documents, a little bit of software development, and other things that aren't easy to do on a phone.

    I don't think I need a particularly powerful laptop for these things, so was hoping to get a cheap refurbished one. Can anyone recommend a reputable place to buy a refurbished laptop for a reasonable price? I'm hoping to spend around £200, but not sure if that's reasonable for what I'm looking for

    Taking a laptop's SSD and making it an external drive (feddit.uk)
     

    Recently my laptop died. Thankfully, the issue wasn't the SSD. So I bought an external enclosure, took the SSD out of the laptop, and popped it into the external enclosure. I was hoping at that point, it would "just work".

    I was hoping that when I plug it into my steam deck in desktop mode, it would recognise it and I could get some files off of it. Well, just one file really, my Sims 4 save. But it isn't recognised at all.

    Is there anything I can do to get the save file off of the SSD? I can borrow someone else's (windows) laptop if necessary, though it didn't recognise it last time I plugged it in there either.

    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
