What Are You Doing Right Now

They really need to turn off the video and just send the audio. There is literally nothing to look at, it is just talking heads, but I cannot disable it so the bandwidth needs are huge and the audio stops every few seconds. If they send just audio, I could just keep listening.

Is this one of the Hangout ones? Where everyone is on video the whole time?

Yes. It's fine if you have the bandwidth and watch to watch people. But there is nothing valuable to see, just heads talking.

It sounds like there isn't a lot of value in the webinar regardless...

Definitely not this one. There was basically no tech experts. It was all very junior guys, guys who called $80K people the "expensive specialists" that they want to eliminate so that IT can be reduced to helpdesk people. All are from really little, limited environments and didn't understand their market or how the products being discussed would apply. And the big enterprise vendors involved are talking about companies with millions in their budgets while the other guy is talking about not being able to afford one $80K IT staffer. So a big mismatch.

I've done some and like to think that I have provided value. Of course, I'm not moderated either. This was.

Just my 2 servers ran a tune of 60k.

Each server is:
Dell R720 (xd? It's got 12 x 2.5" bays)
256GB of RAM
1.2TB RAW SSD Storage (6 x 200GB drives, Dell branded, most likely, 800GB Usable in RAID 6).
2 x NVIDIA Grid K2 cards.These are for VDI and they run some heavy hitter apps. Adobe Photoshop and Premiere, AutoCAD, and a few others that I can't remember.
-
Oh okay, that's some serious hardware.

How many users are you supporting with that hardware that run PS/CAD/etc? How does VDI compare to high end workstations?

Getting our first openSuse Leap 42.1 VM installed. Going to have install pics shortly.

Nice. Need to get Fedora 23 installed too.

Soon, I hope.

After a seriously hot day, a massive rain just started here. So nice.
