It's a multi stage transition, and we are nearing the end of phase 1, rebuild in AWS using equivalent EC2 instances. This is not cheap by any means, but it gets us out of VMware, and also gets us away from our abysmal capacity management problems. Being able to keep up with business growth on-demand is worth the extra cost over the medium term.

Phase 2 is rearchitecting and consolidating our major overlapping LOB applications into fewer, more cloud-native designs. This should reap cost savings eventually.

The is pretty much Broadcom's MO with purchases like this. Jack up prices to get rid of small customers, milk the huge customers for all they can, don't spend money on further development.

We saw the writing on the wall with the purchase, got the ball rolling and now are almost done expunging all VMware from our environment. Just in time it seems.

No, I am not on the beta, it's v88

It's very odd, it's been rock solid up till this morning. I think I got an android update last night that might coincide with the issue - android 13 July 5 update.

Seeing an issue that just started this morning, Connect launches to the splash screen but hangs. Neither force quitting the app nor rebooting the phone helps. App was working great yesterday.

My instance is fmhy, its web interface seems to be up and running normally. Suggestions? Thanks!

So THAT'S what the Swedish Chef is always talking about. He must really like that as an ingredient!

A lot of mine have been named after food. Kind of weird now that I think about it, it wasn't really intentional, it just fit their personalities at the time.

Well, technically it is a solved problem. Spain fielded electronically fused cluster bomblets that were disabled via a drained capacitor if not exploded in 5 minutes. This eliminated the possibility of live duds.

This Espin system has since been removed from service. Not sure if there are any similar system currently in use.

Ehhh...it's lack of popularity wasn't due to serialized storytelling, which had been around especially in SciFi for a while at that point.

It had it's high points, but on the whole, it just wasn't very good. People wanted Stargate and they got a bad BSG knockoff instead.

I rewatched it during Covid, and while I didn't hate it the way I did during the initial airing, I still wasn't sad it didn't get a second season.

Wow, a fellow Alpha Protocol fan! A very underrated game.

I'd add Citizen Sleeper

any of the dontnod Life is Strange type games

Paradise Killer is FANTASTIC murder mystery

Wasteland 2 and 3

I am probably forgetting a lot of others at the moment.

IBM bought a an innovative SAN company, and sold these products for a while as their XIV brand (no relation to my username!). Was pretty much superior in most ways to their home-grown SAN offerings.

They killed the entire line off, after the 3rd gen product; about all that remains of it is the management UI, they butchered it and applied it to their own SANs. But the UI was only a small part of what made XIV great.

The original XIV founder went on to found Infinidat, which basically carries on where XIV left off, it was a great migration to their hardware!
