This ROM was used in the beige desktop, minitower, and all-in-one G3 models from 1997 through 1999. As I write this post in mid-2025, I’m having a really diff

Mosyle announces AccessMule to solve a major blind spot in SMB security

Google rolls out Street View time travel to celebrate 20 years of Google Earth
