    Password Managers: Bitwarden vs Google Password Manager

    LastPass premium user here. No complain, the yearly fee seems fair to me. But if I ever consider switching then Bitwarden would definitely be high on my list.

    Team T-FORCE VULCAN Z 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR4 3200 @ NewEgg $189.99

    Yea, it was from yesterday's NewEgg Thursday ads so maybe it was a 1 day deal. I bought a pair myself to add more RAM into my vSphere ESXI server. $210 is still not that bad consider it's 64GB but I think there might be few other options in that price range.

    ESXi Network Setup Steps

    You will need to add two additional "Virtual Switch". For each "Virtual Switch", assign an "Uplink" to it. Each uplink is pointed to a GB ethernet port. After you created the "Virtual Switch" then you will need to add port group to your virtual switch. Good luck

    11 years 2 months and still rocking I originally purchased this for a Q6600 build and then moved the PSU to a 2600K build when I was building a new PC. I actually thought about replacing the PSU because I plan to turn that 2600K build into a file server (unraid).

    Yes, I have a similar scenario where I want to bring a 2nd monitor on the go when I am on travel. I bought AOC e1659fwu, it is a 16" monitor that is powered by USB so no extra power adapter is needed. Both the display and power is running thru the same cable. http://us.aoc.com/en/products/e1659fwu
