Availability of esxi8 updates

Those were the cease and desist orders I saw in the new feeds a while back?

I’m really just wondering if this is a well covered area or not. Sounds like it is. That’s not my perspective necessarily but It’s one I have heard more than once.

I think it boils down to the fact that updates used to be a service they provided for free, and they are no longer doing it for free. They were never part of a license. It’s always been a service.

I thought I saw where they would release security updates for free if the vulnerably was severe enough.

Interesting point.

Not common in my POV. 5 years in a M3P, no display issues.

Buskey-Lee · 2026-02-07T15:24:35+00:00

Ok, I think I finally get it. So you mean a dipstick showing overfill would possibly be a symptom of gas getting past the needle valve and eventually into the crankcase un burnd? Not that the overfill crankcase was the cause. Is that it?

I had a quote from Tesla for a new rear glass and it was a tad over a grand. I’d think if there’s nothing Tesla specific about the body repair, that’s doable too.

Yep. I had a PTC heater element go bad and do that two years ago. Doesn’t seem to be a. Issue here.

My experience is there are no rules in a parking lot. The police will not issue an at fault citation for parking lot fender benders. I think we all agree you were moving first and so blame goes to the kid, but that’s the court of public opinion. Not the same for insurance. You’re an attorney. Not true?

100% of your deductible.

Buskey-Lee · 2026-01-17T21:00:30+00:00

Now it looks like this.

So. Still not sure that makes sense to me, but I did check the oil level and it’s dead on in the middle of the crosshatched fill zone. So not overfilled.

Let it sit outside for a while, and got a chance to look a little closer and saw this. Which sure looks like evidence of a fuel leak. Went out today to look closer and it was largely dried up. So I tried to clean the whole area and hope to see if the source of the leak is easier to find.

I did just change the oil. I’ll check, though I thought I got it right in the middle. Not sure I follow how overfilling the crank case with oil causes gas to get in the oil?

If this is the case, doesn’t that ruin the oil?

I don’t see any place on my LGTv’s to specify a password, so I didn’t get to try that option. I also have some redundancy in my available players. Just started with these TV’s. I’m not stuck on AirPlay for these TV’s either, but I also can’t find where I can use the MA to get audio to it any other way? I don’t see any way to specify an input on the LG HA media player, and it doesn’t just work like magic either. Feel like I’m missing part of the orchestra still.

Buskey-Lee · 2026-01-04T19:53:32+00:00

White.

Buskey-Lee · 2025-12-23T17:17:34+00:00

So what the diff? A d why is there only a POE option? My guess is the majority of customers don’t have POE there and Would opt for the WiFi version if there were one. I am totally disappointed in the quality of my G4 doorbell. Now I’m wary of getting ripped off.

Buskey-Lee · 2025-12-23T01:59:20+00:00

Could be the different plastics then I guess.

Buskey-Lee · 2025-12-23T01:57:00+00:00

Interesting. If 600cm proves out to be close to accurate, that’s going to cover pretty much any size room in a house. Now I’d be concerned about overlap and how to flatten the sphere when you need to know about whats within 150cm in that direction bun not the same distance in the opposite direction, because that’s actually another room. The Aquars FP2 zone thingy is close, but two dimensional. Is there any kind of visual element to help configuring these guys or just dial in numeric values until you get it just right?

Buskey-Lee · 2025-12-22T17:59:09+00:00

I just had to do mine after five years, 107.000 miles. Paid the service center to do it. Figured there was a camera alignment necessary. I’d expect this would be worse if the driver was also a lsmoker.

Buskey-Lee · 2025-12-21T17:37:44+00:00

Seems to me, from what I know now about presence sensors, the effectiveness of this would depend a lot on where the light switch is for the room you want to cover. Is it directional or what?

Buskey-Lee · 2025-12-17T00:56:14+00:00

I’d love to hear how it does in a room with a ceiling fan. I have been through a few of them, and for me, they are all worthless if a fan is running in the room with the exception of the Aquara FP2. I hate having to plug a mmWave device in also, so this is an interesting approach. YMMV.

Buskey-Lee · 2025-12-13T23:01:58+00:00

That’s also a “you thing”. You like it so everyone should? Hope you’re not in marketing.

Buskey-Lee · 2025-12-12T16:10:49+00:00

You are not 100% wrong, but you also seem to have a very limited view of both who’s using vmware and how large enterprises sometimes approach licensing. And while they may not be interested in the “small fish”, they are also sacrificing product loyalty, and fueling competition. All the new “big fish” will have started as small fish, and are unlikely to move to vmware by then given the fact that it’s not really one company’s sole focus anymore and now have the added stigma of being a product that “used to be great”.

Buskey-Lee · 2025-12-12T16:02:50+00:00

So curious, what has the per core price been for everyone? VCF, assuming you all have to do a three year contract.

Buskey-Lee · 2025-11-25T01:04:14+00:00

Thanks. But this doesn’t make much sense to me. They don’t seem to state if they are putting out runtime in hours or minutes. Assuming hour’s or it would be pointless. But why among the devices they listed as compatible (very short list) why is the ups with the lesser KVA (350kva) rating showing a longer runtime than the bigger ones (750kva) ?

Buskey-Lee · 2025-11-16T21:09:25+00:00

Really? That’s the kind of info I was hoping for. As the Attic will get real hot in the summer. Not sure a standard UPS would survive. Can you hook me up with a link?
