Microsoft Edge: Vintage Web Tech

I went to one of the sites and I saw this Vinage Warning sign on Microsoft Edge.

This is new to me as I never heard about the vintage web tech.

What this basically means that some websites runs on very old browser and Internet Explorer.

Hardware Upgrade of the HPE Proliant Microserver Gen10

It was an interesting video I made where I have to do an extensive research thanks to Crucial make to find the correct memory to use.

It was a 40 minute video where most of the parts are from the Generation 8 Server as I be using the Generation 10 from now on.

I have to show what the soldered-down CPU so they can see what it looks like and I ran out of Thermal Paste when I was reinsert the paste on to the CPU. But at least I got some more supply which is not shown on the video.

I was an interesting video as when I was recording it I have to get the right angle to sow the viewers very clearly.

HP Generation 8 vs Generation 10 Microserver - Side by Side

I did some photoshoot of both HP ProLiant Gen8 & 10 MicroServers.

It was interesting because when I look at and compare both you see similar differences at the back of the server. Like DisplayPort no ILO socket. Even they have the same size but the Gen10 is slightly lighter that the Gen8 counterpart.

Took some good photos from the front, side and the rear view.
I also include the HP 8 Port Switch.

HPE Proliant MicroServer Gen10 - Tour

This is an introduction video of the HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10.

My thoughts of the Server:
This server is better than Gen8 because it has DisplayPort and double the RAM with DDR4 speed (32GB Maximum).
It is 2 PCI-E slots and the 4 port Hard Drive slots are easier as you require HP screw to screw on
Hard Drive and slot it in with ease.
The only downfall to the Home Server Show community is the HP manufacturers have remove the ILO (Integrated Light Out).
The reason behind the removal of ILO because the Microserver will focus on small to medium business. So if you want ILO buy a desktop workstation Gen10 Server which target medium to Enterprise environment.

Also another con is soldered down CPU as I brought the high end version because I cannot upgrade CPU.

Cisco Meraki MR18

At my workplace the 3rd Party company introduces me and manager Cisco Merkai MR18.
(I do not mention names on this blog by the way.)

Cisco Merkai is an excellent Access Point thanks to the 3rd party IT company.
I learned a lot about the Cisco Meraki and the web based console. So I decided to purchase my personal one to make a video about it.
There were controversial issue because of the Serial number Claim as Cisco cannot support people who claim serial number as my video will go in detail about.

Also the Meraki is POE (Power Over Ethernet) meaning you do not require external power supply. But if you do not have an external power supply because your switch is not POE then you have to purchase it separately as it does not come with it.

UK Adaptor Plug = MA-PWR-30W-UK
US Adaptor Plug = MA-PWR-30W-US


The video will not show you the hardware guide but also the basic tutorial on the console when you log into Cisco Meraki Web Portal.



Enjoy the photos.
