We encountered this recently - we have some monitoring software for a ride that was written in-house by a guy who no longer works for us. It was running on a Windows XP machine that needed connectivity via 2 serial ports. We ended up creati

For home users I'd say the biggest thing that keeps them on Windows is gaming, but Valve have made excellent progress at getting games to run on Linux now. For business users I'd say the biggest thing is Active Directory - being a

I decided to part with my Huawei Mate 20 X after about 7 years of ownership not because it was a bad phone - on the contrary, it has a nice big screen, decent enough camera, is still plenty fast enough etc - but because the OS hadn't r

I discovered a bug when I was a kid and I don't think I've seen anyone else mention it before. Do you have any idea what's going on? Write a simple program to make the Spectrum display the "Scroll?" message and then
