One of the annoyances of W8.x OS (there are others too) is the fact that pressing WIN (Windows) + R and then typing cmd gives you command prompt window, but without elevated privileges. This is quite annoying because even with being member of the local administrator group you get restricted on that – you need Elevated Command […]
Quite a few cool posts on home labs lately triggers this post concerning vSphere Homelabs in 2014 - designs and evolution. There was the first one I spotted on Erik Bussink’s blog yesterday which talks about Shift in homelab designs. Erik is right when saying that the requirements for homelab are exploding. And now he just […]
