playing with tumblr for some reason???

um... why?

i have this fantasy that i could build a web site that i'd continue to build over time and that this would be accompanied with interest from people other than myself. and over time i'd accumulate some miniscule amount of admiration and respect from those that would have an interest in the site's topic.

I started with tumblr years ago, it was great, now it's become confusing.

i looked at that publii thing but as is usual for me these days, it didn't make sense either. says it's a desktop app, but i couldn't see how that then puts your content in the public realm?

We do 1000s of shipments from Amazon proper and for Amazon marketplace. If we don't ship on time, we lose prime badging and lower reviews. That equates to eventual loss of sales and even being shutdown by Amazon.

What kind of window of flexibility do you have? Minutes, hours, half a day?

Probably hours. Again, I am ball-parking based on my 9-year experience with the company.

Hours means no need for anything more than 4 hours same day response time from Dell.

protect them from what?

Predatory sales tactics. Microsoft is trying to force more services on them.

And Google is not?

I have a number of users with Dell Latitudes (various models) and docks. A few are the older dock model, but most are the new USB-C style. They do not seem to have any issues using everything.

They all have 1 or 2 monitors (their preference) hooked to the dock and a keyboard and mouse.

I have a single location that has HP models like this. Their docks have been problematic. Replaced one dock 3 times in a year, warranty at least.

Do they all use the same model of monitor? I am wondering if the docks don't like the HDMI on Asus 24 inch monitors that I have been buying for several years. I bought 2 Dell 24 inch that only have DP inputs, but they haven't been in service, due to the fact that they were mounted to monitor arms and then taken off the desk by someone else and put in a corner for 6 months.

Monitor models are all over the place. no issues with any monitors.

I buy DP to HDMI cables from AmazonBasics to connect things as almost no monitors have a DP on them. But all of the computers and docks use DP now.

You'd think so - but oddly enough, when I was looking at Dell Mini desktop units, I couldn't get a dual DP setup from my vendor.

How? It has been standard for years to have dual monitor output on even the smallest form factor. It used to be VGA + HDMI, but has been dual DP for a long time now.

I'm only telling you what my vendor of the moment had available.... perhaps they simply didn't have stock of dual DP devices.. and instead lied ans said they didn't make them...

The service tag pictured:

Your own screenshot clearly states this.

@WLS-ITGuy What version of vsphere are you running?

They say it is supported...

https://blogs.vmware.com/guestosguide/2019/05/red-hat-enterprise-linux-8.html

REHL 8 is - But using the drop down and selecting Fedora it says it isn't.

Either way, I'll just use REHL 8 and be done.

The drop down list told you RHEL isn't, either. Yet we know it is. ESXi is just broken.

That one doesn't actually tell me it isn't supported:

But the other RHEL one does. So clearly it's broken if it gives conflicting information. In one case, RHEL isn't supported, then RHEL 8 is. But RHEL 8 is still RHEL.

I understand. I guess they don't update the dropdown in the software

Also, none of that matters. I don't know why people insist on thinking it does.

All the selector does is tell VMWare to set a few defaults during configuration.

There is pretty much no OS that you cannot install.

Dont get laptop, get Asrock A300 pair it with NVMe SSD like 970 EVO Plus, do firmware update before you start, and get the cheapest ryzen cpu you can get the Ryzen 3 2200 and pair that with 2 monitor setups and wow

He obviously needs a laptop and dock. Not a desktop.
