    • Another fantastic day, packed in a lot of visits, and squeezed in a lot of questions, and actually got a lot of on-the-spot answers.

    Also got some more informal interview videos at Seagate and Ooma and others, will post details and pics and videos when I get back home, where the internet actually works!

    Here's some of the other companies I visited today:
    Belkin, ASUS, Samsung, Sony, LG, Microsoft, Intel, Nokia, Schlage, Yale Locks, Verizon.

    Awake at 5am tomorrow for indirect route home (via 4 hr layover in San Francisco, which saved hundreds). Sure wish I didn't have to leave quite yet!

    After 6 successful years testing then shipping well over 1,000 Xeon D Bundles, Wiredzone had to stop selling them in mid-2021 due to cost, supply, and logistics challenges. So far, Xeon D-1700/2700 (Ice Lake D) was a minor refresh for 2023, with Xeon D-1800/2800 (Granite Rapids D) refresh looking a little better for 2024. More cores, but still just PCIe Gen4 and DDR4. Looking ahead, I'm glad it's Pat Gelsinger at Intel's helm. I'm also grateful to have had the honor of working at VMware when Pat was the CIO there. I'll leave it at that, given the whole Broadcom thing.
