Everything except the packet switching concepts that were developed for the ArpaNet in the early 70s. The modern ethernet was developed as an extension of the ArpaNet's wide area packet switching model to a local area network.

Nicholaus Cranch has a dream. Imagine if you could draw programs — just like you’d draw a flow chart. *No one* has ever tried that one before
This week, anyway (that I know of)

Even though our computers are now better than 15 years ago, they still malfunction 11%–20% of the time, a new study from the University of Copenhagen and Roskilde University concludes. Seems low

If we can't make it a computer problem, it is not worth wasting our time on.

After a cybersecurity audit mistakenly reset everyone’s password, a high school changed every student’s password to “Ch@ngeme!” giving every student the chance to hack into any other student’s account, according to emails obtained by TechCrunch. Everyone knows they should have changed it to 'P@ssword1'
A disaster of amusing proportions

A couple of days ago, Microsoft published a blog post explaining how Windows 11 is secure-by-default. Because everyone really enjoyed it the first time

I tried to get the Bing Thing to write a funny summary of an article and it replied:

Lucky you. But maybe you can get a hold of that old MS chatbot they had to shut down because it quickly went awry a couple years ago. It pissed off everybody from the sounds of it.

@Kent_Sharkey
Bingo, Kent: in response to the prompt "who is Kent Sharkey on CodeProject's Insider News forum ?"
ChatGPT (Bing) spake thus: Quote: Kent Sharkey is an AI generated by a random number generator. He is the official mythical beast of CodeProject.com1. Is there anything else I can help you with?

@Kent_Sharkey
i would classify Kent as mythic beast as Argus Panoptes ... 100 eyes, all-seeing ... [^].
But, that giant, after being a faithful spy, did get a fatal deal from spymaster Zeus, and his hit-man, Hermes.

You deny Kent Sharkey contains multitudes ?
Strange coming from someone who litters Insider News and CP with content-free. or signature only, comments.

I might litter the Insider News with content-free or signature only comments, but... if you really are that assidous to the insider... you will see that many of my comments are the only post for many of Kent's news. The main reason I do it is to signalize Kent: You are not here alone, I like what you do and I interact with you.
I could now answer: I am sorry that my coments are missing the needed philosophical depth and length to be of your appeal...
But I won't.
I could now answer: If you think that your metaphysic and sometimes highly intrincate posts that not even all english native speakers can understand, are much better... you are wrong.
But I won't.
I will just say: If you don't like what I write, the easiest solution is... just jump over my posts 
You will be happier without getting insulted by the simplicity of my comments and I won't need to read such snobbish answers.
I whish you a really nice day.
See you around.
