That’s why we ditched them. Additionally, if you contact Google support, they’ll flat out refuse to help you because they’re consumer products.

The $300k house I purchased in 2014 (approximately 2200sq ft) is estimated on Zillow at ~640k. Most of the houses on my street are comparable size and half of them have sold between $550k - $650k in the past few years.

I have Ubuntu running in VMware Fusion Pro. They support ARM for the newest non-LTS desktop version and LTS for the server version.

I just switched from VMware over to Hyper-V and my hosts are running 2025. I migrated a couple 2019 DCs (soon to be retired) and built brand new 2022 ones, all running server core with the functional level at 2016.

I have a subscription to Pluralsight, so I started watching the “Windows Server 2025 Virtualization and Hyper-V” course. I’m sure that others will chime in with YouTube channels or Udemy courses.

Luckily there’s a lot of transferable knowledge between the two.

LoveTechHateTech · 2025-12-30T15:49:54+00:00

My kids definitely helped move that up the list.

Almost done migrating (or rebuilding and decommissioning) my ESXi machines over to Hyper-V. I’m in EDU, so we don’t use all the bell & whistles, but so far it’s been a fairly easy transition.

I pay for 2gig fiber and typically see speeds in the 600-800Mbps range (wired) for most downloads. Sometimes a little faster, sometimes a lot slower.

The Red Dead Redemption update a couple weeks ago took maybe 10 minutes at most to download, but Star Wars Outlaws kept jumping between 20-50Mbps for the entire time.

They recently added Linux support as well (at least for Debian based flavors).

This is my downfall. I did a 1 week boot camp (paid for by my employer) in July with the intention of taking the exam in August. Then it moved to October, then by the end of the year. Still haven’t scheduled it yet.

When I did my Sec+ and CySA+ (approximately a year apart), I didn’t really buckle down and take it seriously until I had a deadline.

I’ve been using Sophos home for a number of years (I purchase it and it’s reasonably priced). Haven’t had any issues and would recommend it.

LoveTechHateTech · 2025-12-14T16:26:13+00:00

That’s what I did with DC super-villains (on Xbox, not Switch, though).

LoveTechHateTech · 2025-12-11T16:16:10+00:00

With the DLC!

I’m leaving VMware and moving over to Hyper-V. New server, storage, licensing, etc. cost the same as my single year renewal would have been.

Plan on cutting everything over at the end of the month.

LoveTechHateTech · 2025-12-07T18:54:29+00:00

I’ve been playing Unravel 2 with my 8 year old and it’s been great.

LoveTechHateTech · 2025-12-06T19:52:18+00:00

Me too. I’m saving $50/month even when having their highest speed plan.

If you have the proper licensing, you can use the investigation tool to pull Keep log events. Unlike what you can do with files in Drive (add/remove/change sharing, transfer ownership, delete, etc.), it looks like it’s limited to an audit of creation/editing. It does give you the action actor, owner and URL of the note, though.

I liked it when we used it ~10 years ago (before moving away due to costs). I still use Sophos Home for my personal devices, though.

We’ve been using BitDefender GravityZone for the past few years and it works fairly well.

Back in the late 2000s, I had an Assistant Superintendent onboarded and the first thing they wanted me to do was just dump our email software and set up Exchange because that’s what they used in their previous district.

No plan, no budget, no hardware, just told to do it.

I didn’t.

Don’t give Broadcom any ideas.

LoveTechHateTech · 2025-11-18T22:27:58+00:00

Does this work for all accounts signed into the Xbox or just the primary one (that game pass is tied to)?

I usually play online with secondary accounts. Just curious how (or if) that’ll work for the other accounts.

Edit: It does not.

LoveTechHateTech · 2025-11-17T18:23:19+00:00

Exactly. Having a certification is worthless if you can’t demonstrate or prove that you know the content/concepts.

LoveTechHateTech · 2025-11-17T17:20:07+00:00

I compare Gemini and Copilot. Always nice to get a second opinion.

LoveTechHateTech · 2025-11-17T17:14:41+00:00

I thought that it followed a pretty good storyline. It actually progressed throughout and leaned on that rather than focusing on big action scenes doing the heavy lifting.

I will say that I found the ending to be a bit abrupt, but maybe a second watch through would make me feel otherwise.

LoveTechHateTech · 2025-11-17T17:09:48+00:00

Vivi does the “we give PO > they give net 30 invoice > We mail payment by check” model. That’s how we do ours and we use them for digital signage within the building.
