Did VCF East get a lot more expensive this year ($128 USD for all three days), or am I being a cheap bastard?

VCF Montreal was $69 🇨🇦 (~$50 US) for two days.

[ Blog ] Is the VMware #VCF 9 upgrade worth the cost and complexity?

With the release of VMware VCF 9, many organizations are now facing a key question: "Is the VMware VCF 9 upgrade worth the cost and complexity?"

VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9 appears to be a significant strategic decision with a number of potential benefits, especially for organizations http://rviv.ly/HfSzFp #aggiornamento #virtualization

The latest find was from my trip to Anchor Electronics to get the GPS receivers (a separate post once I test them out), and I found this battery pack labeled for iPhone 3G & 3GS which has the 30 pin that works on iPods! Once I found the right powered charger and charged up the battery it works great with my classic iPods.

Viel gescholten wurde wegen der Lizenzpolitik. Dieser Zug ist fair. Ich hatte ja fast damit gerechnet. Aber so früh. Respekt.

VCF 9.0 Server Certification: Preserving Your Hardware Investment and giving the best ROI

Executive Summary VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0 is designed to enable customers to modernize their cloud infrastructure, and part of that design is doing so without forcing unnecessary hardware refresh cycles.

@keepandroidopen I should point out that on #Android 16, both #Google and #Samsung contacts apps FAILED to import legit #vcf contacts files; they may be trying to force you to use cloud. The workaround is to use #Fossify and that is what works for me. https://brave.com/blog/keep-android-open/

For my second entry in #marchintosh is this #spicyPillow in a 2012 Mac Pro. IIRC I picked this up at #EFM #electronicsFleaMarket on the cheap, fully intended for a project but was packed up from the move. Unpacked the box this weekend, and noted the lid being pushed out – and upon opening noted the touchpad broken in half.

I opened it up & pulled out the spicy pillow, installing a spare battery I had on hand. Connected power, and it booted! The touchpad works, but to click/double click you have to push down to make the touchpad level while clicking/double clicking. Time to find a replacement touchpad, and when I do then also max out the RAM while installing an SSD.
