  • Windows 95 is still the most beloved iteration of Microsoft’s operating system, and you can now relive those halcyon days on any modern macOS, Windows or Linux computer by downloading it as an app. Windows 95 v1.0, as it’s known, was created by developer Felix Riesenberg, and is free to download from GitHub. Granting a 13-year-old operating system free rein over your computer would be a security nightmare, so the app runs safely sandboxed with no access to networks or files stored on your device

  • Intel’s most daunting rival: the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. As for how quickly the RTX 2080 Ti can simultaneously process, this GPU’s memory bandwidth is 616 gigabytes per second (GB/s).

Either way, Intel’s GPU is going to need much more capacious and speedy memory attached than Intel silicon is used to.

  • However, the emergence of multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), provided a more cost-effective way of managing multiple locations, pushing VPNs into the background for many years. As the added levels of complexity involved with managing MPLS increased, many organisations inevitably returned to VPNs – especially when it involved managing multiple, international sites. When looking at SD-WAN technology and its ability to simply automate, control and configure multiple sites at a touch of a button,
