This was not how I wanted to start my trip to VCF East this year. This is/was/is a DECmate III that had a full on case failure while I was carrying it. Ah well. A project for another day.

If you're coming to VCF East, please stop my table, I'll have Vintge Apparatus stickers!

[ 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

This is dang cool - they coded up a web page you can use to print using USB printers that are no longer supported, all from a web page

Hivemapper Dashcam HDC S
Model: HDC-S-0HE1-001
S/N: HDCS 807

Well, this is an “interesting” device, I grabbed it from ewaste thinking this could be a good webcam or security camera. And it is, in a way – a dashcam that they supposedly paid you in cryptocurrency to drive around while this documented the scenery and road. In short, some custom hardware for mapping roads as you drive, so you can earn their custom cryptocurrency which has devalued. These HDC-S models are recently EOL, and are not recognized in windows or OS X (I have not tried Linux or BSD). They are listed for stupid money on eBay, but I was unable to get them to work for anything.
