@storageninja (I know some Nutanix guys tried it but kept burning out SATA DOMs). Sata dom? Who the f*** still uses them? Even when I was a c++ coder in automation industry we were phasing out them 3 years ago! Just mainteinance of production stuff. Btw I see your point. For these applications MS releases Windows embedded compact only

So it's finally happening? I remember hearing they were going to be changing the license to allow for this sort of thing. All I can say is, that's a lot of licensing money you've been prohibiting.

If you make hardware, you test and sign the driver. Here is the doc: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/driver-signing

@travisdh1 said in The Register, NetApp and IDC Lose About All Credibility with This: @scottalanmiller said in The Register, NetApp and IDC Lose About All Credibility with This: I posted about their lack of credibility on The Register directly, but it has no appeared yet. I no longer accept quoting The Register as a valid reference to anything. Unless they post a retraction, I can't take them seriously in any context again. This isn't a simple mistake, this is a travesty of reporting and unprofessionalism. I'm not sure which would be worse, if the author was actually this technically inept and reported on tech anyway, or if he was paid off to specifically try to mislead his readers. And how did any editor let this get onto the website? Just now reaching that conclusion? I wondered when you'd see the light with them. I've not found them pulling this kind of stuff in the past. Certainly not to this degree!

@Breffni-Potter said in HPE SANs Not Designed for Reliability in the Australian Tax Office: Listening to any vendor consulting will lead to a p*** poor system but for the vendors profit. Yeah, they brought in the wrong people here. Fundamental business flaws. Listening to the sales people instead of hiring someone whose job it is to know what is needed.

@NetworkNerd said in Nutanix Stock Collapsing, Executives Bailing on the Company: I have heard time and again that Nutanix gear has a much higher price point than its competitors. I've never actually had it quoted, however. Maybe that was the VMware fan boy in me. And performance issues.

This article is not about IT. it is about tech workers. This is a big differentiation. While all IT are tech workers, not all tech workers are IT.

@DustinB3403 said in Linux 4.11 Released: @scottalanmiller said in Linux 4.11 Released: @xisco said in Linux 4.11 Released: @scottalanmiller maybe is hw, or a problem with generic kernels, never tried to compile a personalizaed kernel :? Servers wouldn't run on custom kernels, but they would rarely have USB either. Maybe that is all that it is, no USB on servers So no USB keyboard or mouse..... while I get out of band management, this seems drastic. Been decades since I had a keyboard on a server

lol - the ultimate in ransomware protection. watch they don't raise prices, that's a premium feature

Seems like WD has to do this due to the legal entanglements that Toshiba otherwise would have to unwind.

PAS on SAP?

Looks like Harvard has followed suit and is blindly following Stanford into moving their CS program closer and closer to just being relabeled software engineering.

At least somewhere people are still interested in serious computing and not just watching Netflix on the train.

@DustinB3403 No I kept them. As Scott mentioned they work just fine without the app. I just can't get the fine-tuned EQ settings from the app so I have to use the phone settings.

Similar to how Uber and taxis reduce the number of cars needed and cars on the road, but to a more significant degree.

@JaredBusch said in Axe is Starting to Fall on Ubuntu Employees: @mlnews said in Axe is Starting to Fall on Ubuntu Employees: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/04/12/80_canonical_staff_face_chop/ The first chopping for Ubuntu employees as Mark Shuttleworth takes over has begun, which includes eliminating his former CEO. The cynical response to the current CEO's post? Probably.
