The conditional formatting feature in Excel is so cool!
If you use FALSE and TRUE expressions to check validity, you can easily make these red and green.

Quite a few people already bumped into this the last two days (will add those links later), so today’s confirmation by Broadcom – who have a similar modus operandi as companies like Computer Associates and Symantec were and Idera is now – as of the ESXi death does not come as a surprise.
Symptoms
VMware vSphere Hypervisor (free edition) is no longer available on the VMware website
Resolution
Along with the termination of perpetual licensing, Broadcom has also decided to discontinue the Free ESXi Hypervisor, marking it as EOGA (End of General Availability).
Regrettably, there is currently no substitute product offered. For further details regarding the affected products and this change, we encourage you to review the following blog post: https://blogs.vmware.com/cloud-foundation/2024/01/22/vmware-end-of-availability-of-perpetual-licensing-and-saas-services/

A while ago, I had to redo all of the existing Fritz!Box LAN2LAN VPN connections.
It was a pain for many reasons, reminding me of the pain
This is why it was so painful:

In a game of Walls and Ladders (similar to Arms Race), the Ladders usually win, see the references at the end of the post.
The actual “game” in this case is more and more sites trying to build walls prevent pasting credential related information like user IDs (often e-mail addresses) or passwords often citing “more safety” or “less security risks”, and users get taller ladders wanting to do just that because of their own security concerns:
[Wayback/Archive] Stef 🎈 on Twitter: “Dear mobile/web-apps, please never never disable copy and paste “due to security reasons”. -everybody with a password manager.”
The walls will always loose so it is better to invest the money for the walls into other security measures.
Given that most of the risks are web-sites getting that information exfiltrated, I wish they put more energy into bolting down that side of the security risk side than the hampering legitimate users entering that information in the first place.
Since so many of these sites have leaked my information in the past, any email address I use for activating an account is like 50 characters long. Something I am not going to type once (because of typing mistakes) and definitely not twice (to confirm I did not make typing mistakes).
