I'm perfectly fine eating cheese without crackers. Brie taste just as good off of a spoon.

With dab of honey too.

Leaks reveal a trio of iPhone 11 releases to come from Apple this fall
Expect to hear all about the A13 chip and a new Taptic Engine this fall.
Apple often introduces a new wave of hardware at its fall event, and this year the company seems to be preparing a fresh trio of iPhones. The new models will be powered by Apple’s A13 chip and will still be equipped with Lightning ports rather than USB-C. -

Nvidia RTX 2080 Super hands-on: The result when AMD is out of striking distance
Last year's $799 card is this year's slightly upgraded $699 card, but is it "Super"?
Earlier this month, Nvidia kicked a stool out from under AMD's feet, just as the graphics-card sector began heating up anew. AMD was set to land a serious blow with new RX 5700 cards in the "pricey but reasonable" range—a range that Nvidia had failed to capture with its "entry-level" RTX cards, the 2060 and 2070. Nvidia responded to AMD's news by unveiling and launching a surprise pair of solid "Super" cards. AMD responded with its own price cut (and a claim that this price-war dance was its plan all along).
As these similarly specced cards jostled for the "$400ish" crown, the winner was ultimately consumers. At every price point, new GPU buyers can expect a solid bang-for-buck quotient between the $349 AMD Radeon RX 5700 and the $499 Nvidia RTX 2070 Super. -

Looks like I get to see how the upgrade process goes.

Been thinking of wiping and starting a fresh on my home lab. Maybe time to try XCP-ng again.

I've been running beta for about a month, the upgrade was as smooth as any other minor upgrade using the ISO. It's a bummer the yum updates don't work for major upgrades, but it's not that big of a hassle.

I'm still on 7.4 and am waffling between going to 7.6 or 8. I have E5540 Xeons and I'll need to check the compatibility lists 1st.

Guidemaster: Ars tested and found the best USB-C accessories you can get now
These USB-C hubs, SSDs, mice, and more are the ones worth buying for your new computer.
The transition to USB-C hasn't been smooth or swift, but that won't matter when you need to upgrade accessories to fit your new USB-C computer. OEMs started forcing users into the USB-C world by making their flagship laptops and tablets USB-C only. And while USB-A ports aren't scarce by any means, it's likely that your newest or next laptop will rely primarily on USB-C for connectivity. -

You probably wont find it on any compatibility lists because it's so old. I have (2) E5649 in my home lab and both 7.6 and 8.0 work/ed flawlessly.

It's an old HP. They had just done away with the hand crank. I have no complaints with this system. I've seen quite a few posts on the XCP-ng forum with odd behavior with older systems. Either way, I have current backups.
