What's odd is until August of last year I worked for AT&T and had to do 2FA for accessing almost every internal site I used, and that extended to most SSO integrated external sites - including the relatively small number of Snowfla

The last project I was working on at a major telcom before jumping ship was a project to migrate off of VMware onto KVM systems managed by Cloud Stack, they already have a major Open Stack environment but that's only for SDN stuff now.

If you have legacy Itanium/Alpha/VAX hardware in your closet, you will no longer be able to use the hobby license to be legal, new licenses will be limited to the x86-64 version running in a ESXi VM valid for only 1 year at a time

Having until recently worked for AT&T I suspected this was the case based on the nature of the problems and the timing of when it started - however I am a bit surprised that the repair took as long as it did. I'm wondering if this

As someone that often has limited time to research viable options to present to leadership, I expect to be able to negotiate pricing at the enterprise level if we want to move forward. What's deeply frustrating that keeps me from somet

When I delivered pizzas for a large US chain in the 90s, I got paid $5.25/hr when the minimum wage was $5.15/hr, plus I got tips and I also got "wear & tear" of $1.50 per run. Most of the time I made more in tips tha

Yeah, it's a problem but it's made worse by the fact that on a lot of cars there doesn't seem to be a huge difference between high or low beam in terms of brightness to oncoming traffic. I've seen cars dip their lights,

Depends, I've seen cat6 stapled to the studs like all the other wiring. I'd probably at least ask for it to be placed in conduit if it were me, but I'd probably also just go in and do the wiring myself before they closed up

I don't have Cash App, Venmo, Zello or any of those other micro payment apps because every single time that I sign up for one, I get automatically blocked on my 1st transaction. Zello is even offered directly by my bank so it's a

IBM (and spinoff Kyndryl's) 401k Match only at the end of the year and only if you are still an active employee (or retired) was already bad enough. At least Kyndryl increased the match to 6% instead of only 3%. I left in 2023 from K

Dave explicitly said in the video that the Xbox hypervisor is based on Red Dog, which is not HyperV based, which was also the hypervisor used in early iterations of Azure, but that currently Azure runs on a variant of HyperV.
