Personally I think it is nice of Garmin to factor in the "fucking around until Garmin Express doesn't shit the bed" time alongside the time estimate for how long it will take to download and install map updates
Screenshot of Garmin Express showing that map updates are available with the estimated install time being 4 hours and 52 minutes.

i have toggled this spatial sound option to "Off" so many times. windows keeps resetting it to dolby atmos for some reason and it is genuinely infuriating because it sounds TERRIBLE
Screenshot of the Sound output flyout on Windows 11 with "Surface Omnisonic Speakers" select with "Dolby Atmos for Speakers" selected for spatial sound.

submitted a Cisco TAC case today and the engineer who responded was literally just an AI. i uploaded the files out of the CIMC to an AI chatbot, and it analyzed the report and opened an RMA order. cisco literally gave the AI engineer a fake name too for some reason

fuck Broadcom
A screenshot with the following text: Important Notice: Changes to EvalExperience Licensing On November 5, 2024, Broadcom announced a new program that provides VMUG Advantage members with an exclusive pathway to obtain VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and VMware vSphere Foundation (VVS) personal-use licenses. This program marks the evolution of EVALExperience within VMUG Advantage. To retain access under the current licensing process, all licenses must be downloaded by November 30, 2024, at 11:59 PM CST. After this date, memberships will require participation in Broadcom's new program, which includes successful completion of a VMware Cloud Foundation certification exam (VCP or VCAP) to qualify for a free personal-use VCF license, valid for up to 3 years. This new pathway will be rolled out in 2025. What You Need to Know: Licenses downloaded before the November 30 deadline will remain valid and accessible for 365 days from the download date, up to November 2025. After November 30, access to new licenses under the EvalExperience program will no longer be available until Broadcom's new VCP program rolls out. We encourage all members to download their licenses as soon as possible to ensure uninterrupted access. Need Assistance? If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact the VMUG Advantage team at advantage@vmug.com.
