Guess it's time for some lunch and a bit of laundry... Man I wished they would wash themselves....

You wash your lunch with your laundry or separately?

@travisdh1 Too many games, not enough time...

I'm already putting all my other games on hold come August for Seafall. I don't know if I can add in another one.

Is anyone holding their breath for the Final Fanatasy 7 remake?

From everything I've been able to find, it's supposedly coming out in December of this year.

Nostalgia wise--sort of? Idk.

I want FF9 for the PC. Has it dropped yet?

The price hasn't dropped post release, but you can get it: http://store.steampowered.com/app/377840/. I'm buying it if it goes down for the summer sale.

Thought VEEAM FREE could backup VM's on ESXi FREE?? using VeeamZip. But yet i'm getting an error when trying I want to backup my Linux Servers

You can only agent based, file level backups on ESXi free from what I understand. The VM level APIs are disabled by VMware.

Just started to refresh my CV, do I put salary expectations on there or leave that to the interview??

I'd leave it off. Too many would filter on that before meeting you. It is easier to sell a salary requirement if they already want to buy you.

https://threatpost.com/severe-php-exploit-threatens-wordpress-sites-with-remote-code-execution/136649, and not just Wordpress since it is a PHP flaw. This is technically an old flaw, but it remains unpatched. Not an easily exploited one either, but something to be aware of.

I'm about to dive into why all the guests on one of my XS hosts (software RAID 10) are throwing I/O errors.

If you're running a hybrid Exchange/Office 365 system you need to make sure that you're ready for when Microsoft drops support for versions of TLS older than 1.2: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/exchange/2018/01/26/exchange-server-tls-guidance-part-1-getting-ready-for-tls-1-2/.

So what titles are you all hoping to pick up?

I'm looking for

• Fallout 4

• Xcom 2

• FFIX

Microsoft Teams is confirmed as coming to Linux: https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-teams-is-officially-coming-to-linux/

I wish they'd do something for CivVI, but I doubt it will be much above 10% at best.

Kids, I've been offline for just ~45 minutes or so ...

That isn't allowed.

So...how about some Miscellaneous Tech News instead of arguing? Can this be forked out?

@scottalanmiller it's a full port like KOTOR. I am sure it would be great on a bigger screen with a game pad. It just isn't the best touch screen game especially on a small screen since vision is everything in that game.

Doesn't work on any of my devices. And it looks like it is only the expansion and not the original?

The "expansion" is effectively standalone, and contains everything that was in the original with more besides.

And there are many of us who follow the thread that don't care about what the three of you are wrangling over.
