I was too, but as soon as I heard about the acquisition I started diversifying my non production kit for testing. I've now got Proxmox installed on an HPE DL380G10 with GPU pass thru, same on an HP Z440, and XenServer 8 installed on a pair of DL380G9 with MSA2040 backing storage.
At home I've got both truenas scale and truenas core set up each on a z230.
No matter what happens with the IT department at my office, I'm ready to either meet the new standards here, or go find work elsewhere.
The first board mount (actually through-board case mount) I recall seeing were HP socket 478. That horror-show of a socket also saw many plastic retention clip implementations that had a tendency to get brittle and crack. Socket 423 (which came before) had the same plastic junk mounts.
Ford didn't need or take a bailout.
Yeah...sure it is. My brother ordered one 3 years ago and it was delivered last year - during which Ford hiked the price twice, removed features from the trim package, etc.
Each time he was given an opportunity to back out with a full refund of his deposit.
I'm pretty sure they were just trying to cut down the number of required deliveries while they figured out production problems - this discount is probably just returning to pre-hike pricing.
For me, it was an obscure Canadian tv show from the 80s called 'The Odyssey' - but I contacted the rights-holders and they sent me a dvd set of the show for $50.
Fun fact: Ryan Reynolds has a small part in it
Is left turtle Mike Tyson?
My South African friends don't have to worry about this yearly sacrifice of sleep.
If you plug the monitor into a different device (NSwitch, BD-player, Fire stick) does it stop crackling?
