You've got PM!

The 4 series brings some PCI bus resetting features that ESXi needs to properly power down/up the card with the VM. I had a lot of trouble with the 2 and 3 series cards, but the RX 460 works perfectly fine passed through to Windows and Linux VMs.

You want to use something like the R7 450, 460, etc. The older AMD cards do not work well with ESXi unless you go very old.

You can passthrough Nvidia GPUs now. You need to add an additional parameter to the VMX file that effectively hides the hypervisor from the guest OS. Then, Nvidia drivers will work.

That dock uses both your Mac's thunderbolt ports and the HDMI port to give you 3 display connections.

You are way off. Veeam creates a full backup and then every back after that is incremental off of the previous backup. Every once in a while, based on your settings, Veeam creates another full backup and you get a new incremental chain. So, if you only have the full backup file and 1 of the...

Open VM Tools has some issues with the latest pfsense. Sometimes, the host does not detect the tools and does a hard shutdown after a timeout. You'll notice that if you try to manually shutdown or restart pfsense via the command through ESXI, ESXI will complain that the tools are not installed...

Using it to simulate and verify my "take over the world" strategy. Simulations are fun!

I had comcast (doesn't deserve to be properly capitalized) in my previous apartment. I had my own modem and my own router. When I cancelled service because I was moving, the phone representative told me that the earliest they could shut off my service was ~2-3 weeks away. My bill would continue...

@OP I'm going to side with Gigabyte because you don't even tell us what the error message is. So, I hope you send it to them again, they send it right back because it seems like you haven't done your due diligence. Learn to check everything; cables, drives, install files, RAM, etc. It could be...

@happidane Most people have no idea what backlight bleed is or even what IPS glow is. These monitors are advertised as "for professionals" and sadly, they don't live up to that claim. They are $1000 and yet the quality control reeks. I would not settle for that kind of glow. If it was uniform...

@Derkspector I'm afraid you're right. I don't think this monitor is right for the audience that LG is advertising to. I mean, their video and box graphics target the professional/semi-professional crowd. The poor quality control, excessive light bleed, yellowish hue in the corners, just speaks...

Wow. Just wow. LG's quality control is horrendous. It is really horrendous. Just compare the bleeding between the 3 different 34um95's I got from Amazon. The brightness was set to 30%. The yellow glow is visible even when I have my curtains open and the room lit. Latest: Yesterday: The...

Here's a picture of the replacement monitor that Amazon sent me.

@ArthurFM In theory, yes. At the moment, we do not have devices that support that much of a power output.
