  • I cannot provide advice about this specific case. But as a general advice to everyone, unionize before it’s too late. By the time you realize that your boss has been fooling you for one year in a way that will make it harder for you to claim a resolution, it may be too late. Don’t wait for problems to appear, unionize sooner to get advice and prevent things like this from happening in the first place.






  • I have a TUXEDO Book BU1407.

    The hardware support is quite good. It works with mainline Linux without requiring proprietary drivers or firmware.

    But the laptop is very noisy. Sometimes I have to put a T-shirt or something under it when I want to watch a movie in silence without hearing all the vibrations it causes on the desk.

    It also has a big bright power LED that is very annoying and I have to cover it when I use it in dark environments.

    In five years, I had to replace the battery or power supply twice, which they didn’t sell and I had to buy from third parties. When I contacted support to try to diagnose why my laptop was not charging, their reply included expressions like “We can’t do magic. […] We can’t see into the future and we can’t be clairvoyant either” which I found very rude and unprofessional.

    For all these reasons, I will not buy TUXEDO again and I think I will give Slimbook a try the next time I need to buy a laptop.
