You are looking at a direct ancestor of the modern keyboard layout. When typewriters (and later, computers) were invented, engineers couldn't just use a standard alphabet layout because people were already trained on the spatial efficiency of the old print shops.

THE INTERNET: "OMG. THE NEW FOLDABLE iPHONE" BUT… What happens to all the iPhones it just made “old”?

This is what "secure" looks like. Under our NAID AAA standards, we ensure that every drive is either digitally wiped or physically shredded beyond recovery. When we say your data is gone, we have the forensic proof to back it up.

Huge thanks to the IT pros and infrastructure teams who keep the digital world running behind the scenes. This weekend, step away from the terminal, shut down the laptop, and go spend some quality time with the people who matter most. The servers will still be here on Tuesday.

A fully loaded server can weigh 50 to 70+ pounds on its own - and that's before you factor in that it's sitting in a rack alongside dozens of other units.Pull the wrong one, or pull it wrong, and you're risking whatever's still running two units above or below it.

Degaussing an SSD does absolutely nothing to wipe your data, yet IT professionals still make this mistake every day.  In this quick video, we break down why degaussing fails on SSDs and the two certified methods you should be using instead.

Instead of slowing your team down to log every individual piece of gear before it leaves the building, you can just ship the entire pile to OceanTech. We take care of the busywork and hand you back a clean, audit-ready inventory report. Learn More hubs.ly/Q04nJVXQ0
