I stupidly agreed to replace a SSD in a HP Folio laptop with this crazy attached leather outside cover. Step 1 is removing the screen which is held in with adhesive! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQjmO8NiKgM The upside is HP has disassembly videos for the whole thing, the downside is if I break the screen it's like $150 for the part and I only quoted the guy two hours which would barely cover that. I think I felt like it'd be a fun challenge but I also think HP making a laptop that can't have the SSD replaced without taking the whole thing apart makes it a stupid piece of poo poo laptop. It looks neat but what rear end in a top hat designed this thing. Things that aren't made to be fixed pisses me off.

If you do lots of consumer electronics repairs (and I don't envy you at all) then an Aliexpress heat plate thing is a good investment.

Better to have a working laptop than one with a dead SSD, though.

It'd be a lesson if the topic was running a business. Vulture capital has shown that you don't have to successfully run a business, you just need to consume all of the capital, leaving the smoking husk of a company, and move on to the next. The weakening of VMware just made them a more attractive target for this type of move.

It will only be a lesson of "what not to do" if Broadcom ends up losing money from this. While everyone is rooting for that to be the case, that's not a given. Even if in the end VMWare will die a slow and painful death, if Broadcom recoups its investment and makes a bit of a profit on it, then it'll be a lesson on what to do with a mature product.

I just had this conversation with a friend of mine. What is the appropriate language for "I am aware of this decision's negative impact on you, and I did account for it, but in the end I made the decision anyway."? "Sorry" or "I regret..." both imply you would have done something different...

I think you own the decision but "regret" the impact, so in this case that seems... fine. I feel like there's this silent agreement in society where everybody knows that corporate speak is bullshit and what it really means but we still have to do it. So nobody is really fooled by that statement, but we've all just agreed that companies will talk like that.

Makes no sense to have to take half the machine apart just to do an upgrade or repair one part. Yeah, it's a real pain in the rear end. I got the thing apart without breaking the screen, put in a new SSD, put it back together (sans screen adhesive) and the bios doesn't see the new disk. Is the mainboard bad or do I just need to wiggle it in the m2 slot? Took it apart again, somehow pulled the keyboard ribbon cable connector off the mainboard. Nothing seems to be broken it just needs some real fine soldering. I'm gonna do that tomorrow or later today if the caffeine shakes slow down. Will the disk work after that? Who knows, I hate this thing. I should've quoted gently caress you money to fix it since now I'm on my own time.

Or than that I think Nutanix is one of the last few remaining vendors that's in the virt. space. Microsoft hasn't touched Hyper-V Server since 2019.

Collateral Damage posted:How mature for enterprise use is proxmox nowadays? I haven't used it for probably 5+ years and even then it was just a single lab node. Ask us in a year because we're migrating off RHEV to proxmox right now. So far it's "fine," feels exactly like RHEV.

xzzy posted:Ask us in a year because we're migrating off RHEV to proxmox right now. So far it's "fine," feels exactly like RHEV. Are you using shared storage? We have one remaining client with a VMware cluster and though their license will last through September we definitely need to figure out what the alternative is. I believe Veeam has announced they're working on Proxmox support which would take care of the backup issue, but while I've used Proxmox a bit (my home server runs it), I don't know how well it works with an old-style iSCSI SAN + VM hosts cluster.

Ugh, Even as someone who has money in the bank and a ton of real world experience looking for a new gig sucks. I've started carefully documenting all of the positions I've applied, tailoring my resume for each individual position, reaching out to former colleagues I knew well, etc. and out of twelve solid leads I've gotten two Nays but the rest I'm waiting on feedback and waiting is the worst part out all of this nonsense.  I also took a year off traveling after getting laid off - is that really that big of a red flag? And I am having a hell of time finding an Azure position for anything.

It's replacing an app in lotus notes. Over all it's not that bad , reminds me of Visual Basic. My biggest issue is getting access to the data connectors. The amount of scripting I have to do, to get the same results as a SQL query is nuts. I fully understand they don't want someone not on their team to have write access to their tables. I would think that Dataverse tables would be able to have the same permission options as a SQL server. All I want is to have a development and production environment and the ability to connect to my Azure database joebuddah fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Feb 16, 2024 |

Dataverse tables do have permission options but you have to configure and assign them directly in power platform.

Depending on your comfort level, you can either say, “I was a 1099 consultant at my sole proprietorship.” Fill in the activities performed with poo poo you previously did at earlier companies in a “did more of the same” kinda way. It’s stretching the truth to almost the breaking point but no one cares: the refund gets you in the door. Or be straightforward-ish: “I took extended time off to recharge, do [very interesting hobbies], and live life. Now I’m fresh, motivated, and ready to kick ads at a new opportunity.” Also FWIW- at the risk of  there are a million virus-free license key generators out there for ESX 7 & 8. No need to panic about them getting rid of the free versions. Except of course it’s annoying AF that Broadcom is doing this in the first place.
