I’ve seen a lot of news like this recently from US-based media outlets. As someone living and working in Germany for a German company, I find it particularly interesting that I haven’t heard anything about this elsewhere.

This is a post that will most certainly betray my age in that I fondly remember the release of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

Mozilla has recently had a lot of blowback about several recent changes they’ve made to Firefox. There was a reaction recently from a member of the Thunderbird team.

In an effort to speed up TypeScript compilation, Microsoft has decided to rewrite the compiler to be a native application.

I somewhat recently ran into this screenshot of a rant that Linus Torvalds went on about C++ and why he thinks C is the better programming language.

I recently ran into a blog post on another blog titled “No Data Lasts Forever.” It inspired me to think more about my own data preservation.

This is why the Windows 95 setup team didn’t just use the limited GUI options that were availble in MS-DOS for the setup application instead of three separate operating systems.

I recently came across an interesting idea from one of the oldest blogs on the internet to back up my blogs to a public GitHub repository. This is the why and how.

This is an excellent read for any of you operating system nerds out there. The author compares the architectures of both Windows NT and Unix.

Macs have been my primary computers for decades, but I have also had the occasional Windows PC. These are some screenshots from them.
