Viel gescholten wurde wegen der Lizenzpolitik. Dieser Zug ist fair. Ich hatte ja fast damit gerechnet. Aber so früh. Respekt.

@keepandroidopen I should point out that on #Android 16, both #Google and #Samsung contacts apps FAILED to import legit #vcf contacts files; they may be trying to force you to use cloud. The workaround is to use #Fossify and that is what works for me. https://brave.com/blog/keep-android-open/

[ Blog ] Is the VMware #VCF 9 upgrade worth the cost and complexity?

With the release of VMware VCF 9, many organizations are now facing a key question: "Is the VMware VCF 9 upgrade worth the cost and complexity?"

VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9 appears to be a significant strategic decision with a number of potential benefits, especially for organizations http://rviv.ly/HfSzFp #aggiornamento #virtualization

For my second entry in #marchintosh is this #spicyPillow in a 2012 Mac Pro. IIRC I picked this up at #EFM #electronicsFleaMarket on the cheap, fully intended for a project but was packed up from the move. Unpacked the box this weekend, and noted the lid being pushed out – and upon opening noted the touchpad broken in half.

I opened it up & pulled out the spicy pillow, installing a spare battery I had on hand. Connected power, and it booted! The touchpad works, but to click/double click you have to push down to make the touchpad level while clicking/double clicking. Time to find a replacement touchpad, and when I do then also max out the RAM while installing an SSD.

For my first entry in #marchintosh I will post some pictures testing the Apple DVI to ADC adapters on the workbench.

Yep, they all worked!

#gos question:
It comes with a #contacts app and I could not find a way to enter a #birthday manually.
But when I import the #VCF card, it works and shows it as an event.
But when I then go on edit, it doesn't show at all.
Thoughts?

4 years in a row as a #VMware #vExpert member! 🎉

Grateful for this amazing community — the knowledge, the people, the growth. Special thanks to Corey for making it all happen! 💪

“User Interface Guidelines

- 512 dots wide, 342 dots tall, black and white dots on square grid Dots displayed at 8ø dots per inch on a 9" screen.

This is the only configuration of Macintosh. There are no
no different memory sizes, no different ROMs, no other video displays. The consistency of the Macintosh user interface is based on the consistency of the hardware: As every Macintosh ever sold is guaranteed to contain the above, every application program written for this configuration will run on 100% of the installed base.

The only options available are:
memory

- A second 84ØK floppy disk drive;
- An 18-key numeric keypad;
- A dot-matrix or letter-quality printer;
- Connection to a RS-232, RS-422, or network communication device.”

Typewritten text:

“Introduction

This tutorial has two parts.

The first part is designed to get you
started using MacWrite. You'll be introduced to MacWrite’s special typing features, then you'll learn how to do some editing, first changing format by resetting margins, tabs, line spacing, and text alignment, and then
changing the look of some of what you typed.

In the second part of the tutorial, you"ll learn to edit both text and format in more detail by changing a memo that's already stored on the disk.

When you finish the tutorlal and begin to create your own documents, you may still need some assistance or reminders: refer to Chapter 2, Applying MacWrite, for quick procedural summaries of the tasks you can do with MacWrite.

The Macintosh Owner's Guide orients you to the Macintosh, and it teaches you the basic mouse techniques you'll need in order to use all Macintosh applications. Although mouse techniques will be covered briefly the first time you do them in the tutorial, you should already know how to:

- Click: to select places and actions
- Drag: to select text and move things around
- Choose from a menu: to choose commands from the menus in the menu bar.”

Lots of wonderful retro computing treasures on display at the Vintage Computer Festival SoCal today. So much to see and touch! #vcfsocal2026 #vcf #vcfsocal #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing

Well what do you know – The Electronics Flea Market (EFM) has moved back to Saturday mornings and if you park in lot 2 it is free. Looks as we get to share the campus with the farmer’s market, so I get to peruse fruit & veg for the week and get my nerd on. Hopefully I will find another security appliance from a vendor I do not have yet for my test rack in the garage.

The first date is Saturday March 14, 2026 at West Valley College in Saratoga, CA (south bay area): http://www.electronicsfleamarket.com/

See you there!
