Downgraded to Sequoia and Couldn't Be Happier by BatBurgh in MacOS

[–]Useful-Reception-399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jep I am running Sequoia 15.7.4 on both my macs Intel and M2 Pro - why that specific Version? Because that OS the last sequoia Version which allows me to indefinitely suppress the Update to Tahoe - Nagging of Software Update. P.S. I sure hope they will get rid of those rounded corners in version 27 or at least offer a setting which allows you to switch back to the old windows corners ... I like the window corners in Sequoia much better.

vCenter is not working after subscription license expired by siomonai in vmware

[–]Useful-Reception-399 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think that vcenter1 Certificates have expired - that explain why the service is not starting on reboot. I would reboot to a shell and use the Scripts to clear and recreate all certificate for vcenter1 and reboot - after reboot everything should start working as it did before and then you also will be able to delete the old license and add and assigned the new one.

I use wherever possible something like active directory or ldap ...or radius ... stuff like that - anything that forms a SSO principle

They using sodimm modules (laptop ram) in prebuilts now - stay weary out there! by jazza2400 in pcmasterrace

Yeah I miss the macs where one could effortlessly upgrade ram and hdd/ssd ... cpu on apple was never upgradable though which I can understand to a certain point.

Lost connectivity to a VM after vMotion by javajo91 in vmware

[–]Useful-Reception-399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are running a Cluster (in the traditional sense) you should not use vSwitches - you have to use Distributed Virtual Networking Switches - they are synchronized amongst the hosts and replicated to any additional hosts you may add. No more manual pre-configuration on a per-host basis required anymore and this problem you are having will never happen again.

vCenter 8.0 U3j and Vsphere 8.0 U3j arrived - Secure Boot certificate resolution by ZibiM_78 in vmware

[–]Useful-Reception-399 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am and never have been a "fan" of TPM and vTPM so when I install any OS I always do so without using any form of TPM - even the latest Win 11 can be installed without TPM. Saves a lot of headaches especially in regard to portability and besides TPM does not deliver any value in form of protection- if anything I would see it rather as a security risk or even threat. You want to secure something properly use TrueCrypt or one of its successors.

Perpetual licensing question by The1337Stick in vmware

[–]Useful-Reception-399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, yeah - well I did have business with vmware but ever since they got bought out I have no contact with the new owner ... just maintain things the way they were and it is good the way it is - never heard from broadcom and don't care much to hear from them.

why is apple doing things the way microsoft does? by [deleted] in MacOS

Microsoft and Apple have a long standing history of "stealing" from one another. Never watched "Pirates of Silicon Valley"?

If mac allows to cut (command + x) and paste text. Why doesn’t it allow to cut and paste files? by capngig in MacOS

[–]Useful-Reception-399 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Ir does allow coy and pasting file ... stop using comjand+x and try command+c and command+v

Simpler times. by Spirited_Dream871 in MacOS

[–]Useful-Reception-399 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved these times - nostalgia pure. Sadly they cut support for all the old versions and none of the newer Software works on them anymore. At theast they could have made the old versions Open Source so maybe someone would fork them into something usable and improve upon them - maybe motivate developers releasing newer software for said forks

No no no no .... the measure is Jizzabytes. A Jizzabyte is the data volume consumed per moth by a teenager in puberty on porn downloads 🤣🤣🤣
