    • I'm honored to have been invited back, for another visit with Mike Faucher, to be the guest on the BYOB (Build Your Own Box) podcast. This time, Mike discussed his recent rack mount enclosure experiences, and I talked all about my recent trials and tribulations trying to get to 150Mbps down and 50 Mbps up, for my home's cable-based internet. This turned out to be a saga that included three new cable modems, and just as many new 802.11ac WiFi routers. In the end, I happily figured out what works well for our family, and both items are likely what I'll be recommending for my friends and family as well. Find those links in the shownotes, and grab the podcast itself, right over at BYOB Episode 134.

    Comments always appreciated. Enjoy the show!

    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.
