If you only knew how much government infrastructure was still functioning on IE and how they are scrambling to make it compatible with either Chrome or Edge. Now we got so many applications that don't work in Chrome, so you gotta use IE, or they don't work in IE so you gotta use Edge, or they don't work in Edge so you gotta use Chrome. Betting on MS back in the day was short-sighted...but no one really knew better.

Every company or government operation will be filled with these dependencies.

Because cost and complexity of change is too great, compared to just leaving it as is. But when it breaks...

Luckily Edge has a nice IE mode or emulator side, which seems to work fine with all our stuff.

lol,

Reminds me of the time one of our application kept throwing (for years) the code that "You need to be using at least IE11", but you would go and check the version and it was IE11. You could run the app in emulator mode for a while, but even that stopped working eventually. I went round and round with IT for years about this. It was basically laziness where they didn't want to get in there and fix the code.

For most stuff, they planned ahead of time or just updated the apps on some kind of schedule. For some stuff, the writing has been on the wall for a long time and just waiting till the end screws over all the users...for something they were going to have to fix anyway.

From Vivid last weekend, there were a couple of cameras that would record people dancing and project an animated version of them up on to the clock tower.

Ended up with over 100 photos around Sydney deemed good enough to keep.

Is that a bit of extra counterweight on the forklift? Good effort to get it off on dirt with a fork of that size.
it’s a magnet for picking up nails. It has 8 foot forks. It’s not the weight as that thing could pick up 4 of those things but the width. It’s just wobbly especially with the wind. Little inputs have big movements. I would just hate to drop something that big and fuck up that trailer or hurt someone.
