Windows 11 ARM installation on VMware Fusion for macOS Silicon stuck at install network driver

Problem:

Windows 11 ARM installation on VMware Fusion for macOS Silicon is stuck at the install network driver stage. VMware Fusion prompts for the installation of a network driver, but no driver can be found.


Root Cause:

The Microsoft Windows 11 ARM ISO does not include a driver for the VMware network adapter known as vmxnet3.


Fix: It's easy.


Mount an ISO embedded in your macOS VMware Fusion to the guest OS as a CD-ROM (Shut down your installation before adding a CD-ROM device to your Windows guest OS), and select the network driver path to the folder named 'vmxnet3' inside the CD-ROM . Enjoy!


Your ISO file path: (be aware of space characters inside)


/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/isoimages/arm64/windows.iso


Reference:

https://community.broadcom.com/vmware-cloud-foundation/viewdocument/the-unofficial-fusion-for-apple-sil?CommunityKey=0c3a2021-5113-4ad1-af9e-018f5da40bc0&tab=librarydocuments


The Unofficial Fusion for Apple Silicon Companion Guide was mentioned. Although I have not had the luxury to thoroughly read or comprehend what ESD means or download it, the fix should be quite straightforward.



问题:

在 macOS Silicon 的 VMware Fusion 上安装 Windows 11 ARM 时,卡在了安装网络驱动程序的阶段。VMware Fusion 提示安装网络驱动程序,但找不到相应的驱动。


根本原因:

微软 Windows 11 ARM 的 ISO 文件中不包含名为 vmxnet3 的 VMware 网络适配器驱动程序。


修复方法: 非常简单。


将嵌入在 macOS VMware Fusion 中的 ISO 文件作为 CD-ROM 挂载到来宾操作系统中(在将 CD-ROM 设备添加到 Windows 来宾操作系统之前,请关闭您的安装),然后把 CD-ROM中根目录下名为 'vmxnet3' 的目录, 选择其作为网络驱动程序路径。尽情享受吧!

您的 ISO 文件路径:(注意路径中的空格字符)


/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/isoimages/arm64/windows.iso


参考:

提到了一个名为《非官方 Apple Silicon Fusion 13 配套指南》的冗长文档,不过我并没有那么奢侈去通读或尝试理解 ESD 是什么意思或下载它。修复应该非常简单。

[solved]Amazon Linux 2 encounter 'warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8): No such file or directory' after 'yum update'

Little trick to fix the  'warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8): No such file or directory' issue on amazon linux 2 after yum update.


Thanks to this post:  thought it is japanese, but the solving trick is the same.

Dell DA300, macOS 10.14 + 复活记 The revive of DELL DA300 on macOS later version


DELL DA300 is an USB-C adaptor,small,cute, and embedded with strong display extension for Displayport/ HDMI / ethernet, USB-C/USB-A, even legacy VGA. 

Problem, the network interface seems not working after macOS 14.(for win10,it is still a go). This post will show you the way to revive DA300 on mojave/big sur/monterey macOS on intel based mac computers.

Dell homepages said it supports macOS 12. The real problem is that after macOS 14, the realtek network interface card (which boarded on DA300)  is not longer supported by macOS. Good news is that realtek provided the upgrade for later macOS.

Download page:

https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/network-interface-controllers-10-100-1000m-gigabit-ethernet-usb-3-0-software

find the following dirver.


MAC OS 10.9 to 10.15 ,    for the day I am writing this post (Dec 2022)  , it is 1.0.22, 2020/12/21

Install. And be aware that, after the installation , the network interface card will not pop up and work directly, you need a few clicks to select the network interface card and just 'Apply': 

Following are quotes from manufacture's software description: 

  This is the Mac OS X  driver for Realtek 8152B/8153/8156. The system will be rebooted after the driver is installed, so please close all the other applications before installing the driver. After the system is rebooted, please follow the following steps to configure the network:

1. Select the "System Preference" from the system menu.

2. Select and launch the "Network" item in the "System Preference" folder.

3. From the "Configure" list, select the adapter to be configured.

4. Configure the settings.

5. Click the "Save" button.

Then you can connect to the Ethernet.......


NOTE: This driver is for Mac OS X 10.9 or later versions on the Intel-based Mac. 



DELL released DA300 around 2018, and it is unfortunate that there are no information about the support on later version of macOS.  Obviously, they show more enthusiastic on supporting successors as DA310.

 MCT  Oil 要注意C12比例 ,  苹果醋要纯正  ,   say No to  MCT粉 


苹果醋好多种哦, 最好是买纯正苹果醋吧,其实价格不会差太多。 有些加了酒精成分的苹果醋不要乱喝哦,喝了小心驾车呼气检测不过被认为是酒驾就不划算了。  曾经有中国国内的吃了藿香正气水,被检测酒驾的悲剧。

至于韩国美醋系列,你看看它简直就是添加剂大全。。。不知道是在喝什么了...


MCT Oil 的迷思

市场上 MCT Oil很多,但是大家要注意哦, 许多只是椰子油提炼品,

MCT 还可以细分成 C6、C8、C10、C12 这四种。数字越小,进入肝脏的 速度越快,生酮效果也 越好。 

简单说: C8越高越好,C12越少越好.


天然食物中,棕榈仁油椰子油奶制品(奶酪、母乳)中都含有比较多的 MCT,但这些食物中包含的 “MCT“,几乎是由 C12 组成的月桂酸,真正能通过肝门静脉的 比例非常低。

至于MCT粉,就是扯淡了,他们还会加一些碳水化物在里面,你做生酮岂不是白搞了。

所以   不要吃 MCT粉啦!


日本选择:

Nature's Way  30 fl.oz 

https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B0747B7X2Z

它的正常售价是 2740日元, 不要上日亚的当,它会有时候搞杀人价,你耐心等待就好了。

这个C8 : C10  大概 60%:39%,  C12 小于 1% . 


大陆选择:

 买 VIVA , 32 fl.oz 大概 170RMB 左右,它的C8:C10 61: 38, C12 小于 1%


总之不要买 sport research, 它里面有 30%都是 C12 ,可以说非常不地道了。










汽车蓄电池(电瓶) 电力不足(亏电)怎么办 -- 清洁能源解决方案



汽车长期放置或者经常跑短途等其他各种原因,会导致蓄电池电力不足,使得汽车不能以全功能方式运行 , 尤其是一些有 自动启停 功能的汽车,行车计算机会关闭自动启停功能, 甚至建议以长距离驾驶来获得电力,这个非常的不环保(不经济)。

本文提出了一种经济的保持汽车蓄电池电力充足的方法。

实施对象:  BMW 3系  320i, 320li 等 (其他品牌乘用车都可以运用同样方法,主要区别在于 汽车蓄电池的位置不同  )


准备材料:   

35瓦单晶硅太阳能电池板  尺寸 1000x 180 mm ,厚度约 3mm
适合安装在后备箱盖板, 不需要安装到车顶

MPPT 太阳能控制器 (负责过充,短路,限流 的保护) 推荐 北京绿能精电的tracer系列 1206 AN  即可满足

便携太阳能设备的实际使用比较: 薄膜 vs 单晶硅


For TL'DR:
   

     薄膜太阳能发电  (小板)没有实际使用意义;  单晶硅折叠包的发电能力可观。


薄膜太阳能  VS  单晶硅

       薄膜太阳能的代表产品是汉能, 特别是汉能  48w 折叠发电纸(产品代号: SC50-MDF ) ,  100w 折叠发电纸 系列.

      包括7.7瓦 汉能薄膜发电纸 ,除了炫技之外,毫无实际意义 无法真正的充电. 
      市面上有一些产品介绍在汽车挡风玻璃后面用太阳能给汽车蓄电池充电,是彻头彻尾的骗局,实测衰减了车外最佳角度 90%的功率,电流仅100mA 左右.

   
汉能 薄膜太阳能折叠发电纸50W SC50-MDF
(实际为48瓦)

      汉能的薄膜发电纸确实非常轻,  48瓦 (质量约 830g )大约能在上午10点 (天候温和,纬度不高也不低) 的时候,调整到最佳角度,也只能提供12V ,1A 的电流(可以接mppt也可以不接mppt控制器).    如果隔一层玻璃 汽车前挡或者窗户,将衰减到 0.1A  -0.2 A 左右,


     如果不接太阳能控制器,可能只适合接充电宝(需要很长时间充电)。 即使汉能厂家也建议不要直接连接手机使用.(虽然它提供了点烟器转USB口适配)


     如果要给手机供能,建议加上稳压设备,或者太阳能控制器.
     而一般的单晶硅板在同等光照条件和相同负载的情况下,100W 太阳能电池板可以达到12V,5A的供电能力.  减半面积也有 2A.

    目前测试发现,薄膜发电能力远低于其标称能力. (可能需要mppt的配合加适当的日照吧)
   
For newbie:
      不要上当看一些业余评测讲开路电压或者最大功率点电压x电流, 开路电压没有意义,带上负载就会降下来; 最大功率点的功率,需要mppt太阳能控制器配合才能达到,尤其是可能还需要对应的光照达到对应瓦数.
      汉能产品说明书所要求的标准测试条件如下:

      1000kW / m2 ,  1.5倍光谱, 组件测试温度 25 摄氏度

 
参考:

   太阳常数 1362 kW/m2 , 包括所有形式太阳辐射.

以下来自wikipedia:
太阳常数太阳电磁辐射通量,也就是距离太阳一天文单位处(约为地球离日平均距离),单位面积受到垂直入射的平均太阳辐射强度。太阳常数包括所有形式的太阳辐射,不是只有可见光。由人造卫星测出的最小值约1.361 kW/m²,最大值约为1.362 kW/m²,差了1%。[1]太阳常数并不是科学技术数据委员会颁布的真正不变的物理常数,而只是一个变动值的平均,在过去400年间变动小于0.2%

)





  • 单晶硅太阳能电池板  实验样本:  "AP奥鹏" 太阳能折叠包  100瓦   重量2150克


    在和汉能发电纸同等条件下,可以录得12V  5A 的电流.  (上午10时, 中等纬度,20 摄氏度左右气温)

    带两个USB口,一个DC输出(此输出口可以录得12V 5A 电流) 

    下图为厂商图, 与实际商品近似。

如何发财(不以撞大运的方式)

Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy.
追求财富,而不是钞票或者社会地位。财富是拥有能够在你睡觉的时候都挣钱的资产。钞票是我们用于转换时间和财富的工具。社会地位是你在社会架构中的位置。

Capital means money. To raise money, apply your specific knowledge, with accountability, and show resulting good judgment.
资本意味着钱。为了增长纸面财富(钞票),应用你的专有知识,并为此承担责任,表现良好判断力。
Labor means people working for you. It's the oldest and most fought-over form of leverage. Labor leverage will impress your parents, but don’t waste your life chasing it.
劳动力意味着人们为你工作。这是最古老的,而且最经常被争抢的杠杆形式。劳动力的杠杆将让你的父母辈满意,但是别浪费你的时间来追求它。
Capital and labor are permissioned leverage. Everyone is chasing capital, but someone has to give it to you. Everyone is trying to lead, but someone has to follow you.
资本和劳动力是被公众认可的杠杆。所有人都在追寻资本,但是总需要有人来提供资本。每个人都试图去做领导者,但是总需要有人来跟随你。
Code and media are permissionless leverage. They're the leverage behind the newly rich. You can create software and media that works for you while you sleep.
代码和媒体不是那么被公众认可的杠杆。他们是财富新贵们的杠杆。你可以创造软件或者媒体,他们在你睡觉的时候都为你打工(挣钱)。
