I’m so bad at remembering all these different Intel code names

I guess it depends your version of safe :p
It is managed, I haven’t seen a FOSS firmware for this. I don’t think it has a Cumulus or OpenSwitch release. If it did I would take that over EOL proprietary.
I got it on eBay, it had its firmware wiped so I had to follow a guide from servethehome.com to reload it full. It was for $250 and allowed offers, I did $150 and somehow got accepted! The noise when it reboots… everyone in the house can hear it… but then once it boots it’s not too bad and there are flags the community has to lower it even more. I probably wouldn’t want it on a desk next to me all the time, but it’s not too bad.
The good thing about end of support switches… no outages for software updates… because there aren’t any…
Cisco CLI is still useful to learn, a bunch of other makes (Arista, Mellanox) copy it a good amount.
Agreed, I come from Cisco stuff at work and the Mikrotik learning curve is real real.
I also have some mikrotik for more edge stuff! They are great! But I outgrew the 8 port one I had and don’t want to pay$600 for a bigger one :)
I don’t think it’s fair to jump on Microsoft for this one. Windows 10 has been out for almost 10 years. Apple gives less support for systems than 10 years, they are closer to 8, which is still a while.
If you bought a PC in 2018 or later it should support tpm in the CPU, if it doesn’t it’s on Dell or HP or whomever made the system. If you built a pc you can buy a TPM for most motherboards.
Microsoft said you can pay for updates for windows 10 if you want. If your parents core i5-2700 with 4gb of ram from 2012 will no longer get free updates… that seems fair… or go to Linux, but we know most people won’t. Honestly it would be a great time for a “convert to chromeOS installer”
I would avoid centos stream like the plague. It seems a half supported thing that most of the industry has left.
I have already seen my and other companies say things like “we were going to role vSAN but after our recent license talks we are not”
Android OEMs also get android…
It makes it not feel like a premium device
When debugging systems, I really like “w” it gives you a ton real quick
Another worry could be: how do you know if it’s a real victim who needs help, or an AI generated image.
I love the little robots
The brave browser allows you to Picture in Picture and blocks ads!
I have played a bunch on the train into work for the last 10 years… I am at level 10035… I also have a excel table of level date and number of gold bars I have at that point when I hit big checkpoints
Also Brave Browser, I use it just for YouTube. It allows backgrounding of videos, Picture in Picture, and ad blocks.
And when the code starts open source if they do a move like that (see Elasticsearch vs Opensearch, or Terraform vs OpenTF) then the community can fork it!
I wanted a thin and light laptop for travel, I was looking between an X1 Carbon 9th gen, or a HP dragonfly gen 2, I ended up scoring a HP with a i5-1145g7, 16gb lpddr4 for $275 on eBay.
