Going to check application requirements. There aren't many 35 years old with significant experience in MS-DOS and Windows 3.11 out there.

I'm a 59-year-old who still has his MS-DOS and Windows Programmer's Reference Manuals, and still has his 16-bit compilers. Do you think they'd allow me to work from home in Israel?

Perhaps they need a TWAIN driver..

The sensor works purely mechanically and doesn't require an external energy source. It simply utilizes the vibrational energy contained in sound waves Soon you can power your laptop by screaming at it?
You're probably doing it anyway, right?

Do they have similar stuff for vibrations?

Europe's provisional AI legislation attempts to strike a tricky balance between promoting innovation and protecting citizens' rights. EU is on the case. Problem solved.

They are attempting... nobody said anything about accomplishing it.
And looking at they records, I really doubt that they will let any room to promote innovation... at all

More software developers than ever are relying on generative A.I. as part of their workflows. However, a new report suggests they’re using this technology in ways that might surprise you. If you can't add intelligence on your own, add some artificial?

Yeah... I think you have to tell chris
P.S. LOL... in my quotation the summon worked?

The plan is to keep the world at bay by never recording it in the DNS root – like may already do with a subdomain for an intranet Free up all those 192.168 addresses!
Folks at internal.com will be forever confused (seems no one is on there. odd)

So, I need to get to my router and DNS is down...

Ah, so Microsoft's .home recommendation for home lab networks has come back around. Just another example of fads making comebacks.

IMO, this one should've happened years ago, probably.
I'm not 100% sold on it, but close.
The efficacy seems to hinge on how name resolution would be handled for those.
I'd guess it would be the same corporate DNS in many cases as it is now. The only real change being those DNS records won't propagate outside the internal DNS.

Last year was, by all accounts, a bloodbath for the tech industry, with more than 260,000 jobs vanishing — the worst 12 months for Silicon Valley since the dot-com crash of the early 2000s. "Money, money, money. Must be funny in the rich man's world"

Because one did it and got away with it so others are following suit. Leader, lemming they both start with L.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Because whe you talk about unions or worker rights a lot of people from a great country see red and start blasting.

This is a long, but great article you will especially enjoy if you were coding back in 1993.
That was when my career was just starting.
I was reading Programming Windows 3.1 (Charles Petzold) and completely confused.
I also remember someone gave me a copy of VB 3.0 on three 3.5" disks.
CODE: 30 Years Ago[^]

I guess that lots of us who were coding 30 years ago was doing it on Sun workstations running Solaris, on vaxen running VMS, some on IBM mainframes, some on various minis/superminis running proprietary OSes, and so on. We didn't really take PCs seriously, not as independent, complete solutions. They could do a good job as front ends to a larger machine, but for serious work, you had something more powerful.
1993 was near the turning point, though. Some had started taking PCs seriously, (maybe most) others had not. Not yet. I would say that Windows hadn't really grown up until W95. I could say that it wasn't fully mature until NTFS - sure, it was introduced in 1993, but didn't become widespread for another few years.
I was teaching at a tech. college 1990-95. We were running programming exercises on a proprietary mini, on X.11 workstations to an Alpha - and some PCs, e.g. for programming a simplified Kermit between two PCs.
To illustrate the level of PC 'seriousness': I took a class to a visit to Statoil, the oil company of the Norwegian state. The guide showed us the huge VAX machine handling all technical data from the oil fields. After processing, the data would be stored in an equally huge IBM mainframe database machine. Communication between IBM and others was always a RPITB. The IBMs could run Kermit, though. So we were shown a little IBM PC with two COM ports, one for running Kermit to the IBM, one for running another Kermit to the VAX. The PC acted as a relay moving data from the one Kermit interface to the other. (I don't remember why they couldn't have a direct Kermit link; my guess is that the PC did ASCII / EBCDIC conversion as part of the forwarding.)
My students shook their heads in disbelief. You can't transfer huge amounts of technical information, representing values of billions, using Kermit on a PC, over COM ports? Seriously?? The guide looked slightly ashamed when explaining, 'Well, this is what we could make work, and it works!'
I don't have the exact date for this; I would guess around 1994.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
The article makes your same point in a different way...
It mentions Novell Netware and Win 3.11 for workgroups (networking just arising in the PC world).
Then, of course, NT had networking built in.
Connecting PCs for collaborative work in a business environment is really a necessity and since PCs couldn't do this before is probably why they weren't "taken seriously".
Once networking happened (and was simplified) it really made PCs take off.
