If you just copied your on-prem VMs to the cloud, you didn't modernise, you just rented a more expensive apartment. Here is why the 7Rs calculus completely flipped this year.

Been using this tool recently to help share context between AI agents with my team. No need to distribute steering files, especially useful for the non technical members of the team who need to interact with AI consistently.

My first interaction with the internet was an old Windows 3.1 machine with 14.4kbps modem, then we upgraded to a Windows 95 machine with 28.8kbps and later we swapped out the ISA modem for a PCI 56kbps modem. Then ADSL came along and the rest is history. Presumably the modem in this example is a 33.6kbps V.34 modem which had a slightly lower sync negotiated due to a poor line.

I think it varied by modem model and maybe also the type of telephony system in your country. This sounds faithful to what I used to hear in the UK.

For me it brings back a time when the internet felt more personable. Everything these days is boring, Facebook profiles, Tiktoks and Instagrams all look the same. We need the personal days back where people put their heart and soul into building their geocities page. Where you never knew what you'd find next when you press the next link on that web ring.

Thank you :-)

I am tempted to add additional OS / dialers.
