I'll tack on just a bit from here, and maybe someone can correct me if I am wrong.

  • VMware's HCI clustering is far better than proxmox + ceph/other.
  • VMware's NSX network virtualization enables their fancy HCX site orchestration.
  • Even without NSX/HCX, Site Recovery Manager makes for a slick redundancy/fail over option.
  • VMware's EUC option, Horizon, beats the absolute pants off of Citrix. And that was Citrix's whole game.
  • The vGPU option first lived in EUC, but turns out scalable GPU sharing is just plain useful.
  • And then there is the orchestration management, allowing for power savings, automatic balancing, and more.

Basically, every high level solution they had on their platform was without a true parallel, and was built on a rock solid foundation. Even if their support is shit(it is), the platform is so ubiquitous and approachable that you could just use their support as an insurance of sorts, and it gave upgrade rights through the years.

Broadcom knows who uses those high level features, and knows they're stuck. Our options are a full cloud migration, loss of features, or pay up. They'll disregard every customer small enough to not need any of that, and they will milk every customer that's too big to go anywhere else.

If you're one of the small folks, I'd say look into proxmox, openstack, xcp-ng, or have a path to cloud in mind. If you're one of the big folks, I recommend Balvenie, Macallan, or Johnnie Walker, cause you might as well enjoy a good drink if you're gonna get fucked.

Nah, he's just asking them to be "fine people" like those literal Nazis in Charlottesville, VA. Just a peaceful protest, with tiki torches and murder.

Maybe they're just mispronouncing the word "terrorist", they aren't the most educated folk ya know. They did give those terrorists too light a sentence anyway.

I mean, I'm sure they would start with non nuclear bombs like when we bombed a Pennsylvania neighborhood, but could you not see a certain presidential candidate gleefully give the order to nuke the libs? I'm honestly surprised he's not campaigning on it.

Incredibly impressive even, we need more of this. Looking at some reviews, the biggest things anyone has to harp on is the all touchscreen interface for everything(understandably), and that the performance version just feels like it's got too much power for how it handles.

All in all, that's a pretty good endorsement for the average driver if youre ok with all touch controls.

Taking things with a grain of salt is absolutely fair. I would say researching potential issues you should look for outliers and patterns, and that healthy scrutiny has been applied. To me this seems like an actual incident, but I encourage you and everyone else to treat the claim as needing verification.

This particular case is well documented, publicized and scrutinized, and involves a cascading list of failures on either the dealer or Hyundai. I'm usually more inclined to blame a dealership since their quality can vary greatly, if it weren't for the lackluster response from the parent company despite the spotlight.

You may want to steer clear of Hyundai EVs, and maybe Kia but I'm not entirely certain they are managed the same.

There is a prominent story of a couple who hit some debris on the road, resulting in a dent and scratches on the battery. It threw no flags or alerts, and drove fine, but for safety they took it to the dealership to ask about whether the vehicle was safe and if it could be repaired. They were quoted $60,000 CAD to repair this, and the dealership told them the cooling system on the battery was damaged. That's about the cost of the entire vehicle. And either the dealer was lying, or the cooling system that prevents your vehicle from becoming a lithium fireball in your garage or on the road isn't monitored.

When looking to find some information on this incident as I post this, and you'll find reviews littered with evidence that Hyundai cannot or will not repair their EVs. What the actual fuck Hyundai.

With America this cursed you would think it's built on Native American burial grounds.

That's a good suggestion, though we also do minor home improvement projects, gardening, and I do minor woodworking and CNC milling. A Ford Maverick or Toyota Tacoma is in my future haha. Hoping to see more hybrid light trucks on the market.

Haha, that's the plan for me. Light truck with just enough capacity to tow a Polaris.

'13, sold in 2021, hence the inflated value haha.

I make it sound worse than it was. It was as sound as can be drivetrain wise, and every upgrade was carefully picked with a long term lifespan and serviceable parts, like a heim joint control arm set. I loved that thing, it just had cosmetic stories to tell.

I'm glad you found your vibe too. Social phobias have me antsy in a room with more than 20 people, NYC would break me in no time. But more power to you, live the life you love.
