Slashdot website, which was once a massive tech discussion site.

Odd, I just tested this and it worked correctly.

This is a strange thread for me. I have a 2021 16" Macbook pro. I use Teams every day, and have some long meetings. The memory use is about 1Gb. I have no issues with it. It is sna…

Probably far better than Angular, yet will still be ignored by the corporate world... which is a real pity.

The agency I work for is doing pretty extensive work to support JAWS 2018/2019, and NVDA. The problem we have is that a fix for a specific issue in JAWS may break NVDA (or cause do…

The business portal already has work underway to replace it. The Tax Agent portal has a replacement currently in beta. My gov itself doesn't have much content on it - or are you re…

Bigger Australian government departments tend to roll our own components anyway - simply because we are all running on our own stacks with differing needs. The department I work fo…

Thinkpads are made by Lenovo, who have a very bad history. They have used the UEFI bootloader to install spyware. The mac UI is nicer than the various Linux window managers. Runnin…
