In my unboxing of the HPE DL80 Gen9 server last week (https://youtu.be/_yvw01aHx84), I was inundated with comments about Hewlett Packard locking BIOS, Firmware and Driver updates behind a paywall… So I decided to investigate.
But first… What am I drinking???
From Anchorage Brewing, it’s the Beyond Repair DDH IPA, clocking in at 6.4%. A tropical hazy without the acidic aftertaste.
