Interchange File Format (IFF) is a generic digital container file format originally introduced by Electronic Arts (in cooperation with Commodore) in 1985 to facilitate transfer of data between software produced by different companies.
Tag Image File Format[1] or Tagged Image File Format,[2] commonly known by the abbreviations TIFF or TIF, is an image file format for storing raster graphics images, popular among graphic artists, the publishing industry,[3] and photographers. TIFF is widely supported by scanning, faxing, word processing, optical character recognition, image manipulation, desktop publishing, and page-layout applications.[4] The format was created by the Aldus Corporation for use in desktop publishing. It published the latest version 6.0 in 1992, subsequently updated with an Adobe Systems copyright after the latter acquired Aldus in 1994. Several Aldus or Adobe technical notes have been published with minor extensions to the format, and several specifications have been based on TIFF 6.0, including TIFF/EP (ISO 12234-2), TIFF/IT (ISO 12639),[5][6][7] TIFF-F (RFC 2306) and TIFF-FX (RFC 3949).[8]
Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of identifier that
enables verifiable, decentralized digital identity. A DID refers to any
subject (e.g., a person, organization, thing, data model, abstract entity, etc.)
as determined by the controller of the DID. In contrast to
typical, federated identifiers, DIDs have been designed so that they may
be decoupled from centralized registries, identity providers, and certificate
authorities. Specifically, while other parties might be used to help enable the
discovery of information related to a DID, the design enables the
controller of a DID to prove control over it without requiring permission
from any other party. DIDs are URIs that associate a DID
subject with a DID document allowing trustable interactions
associated with that subject.
Home automation or domotics is building automation for a home. A home automation system will monitor and/or control home attributes such as lighting, climate, entertainment systems, and appliances. It may also include home security such as access control and alarm systems.
FidoNet is a worldwide computer network that is used for communication between bulletin board systems (BBSes). It uses a store-and-forward system to exchange private (email) and public (forum) messages between the BBSes in the network, as well as other files and protocols in some cases.
Lotus 1-2-3 is a discontinued spreadsheet program from Lotus Software. It was the first killer application of the IBM PC, was hugely popular in the 1980s, and significantly contributed to the success of IBM PC-compatibles in the business market.
Lotus Symphony was an integrated software package for creating and editing text, spreadsheets, charts and other documents on the MS-DOS operating systems. It was released by Lotus Development as a follow-on to its popular spreadsheet program, Lotus 1-2-3,[1] and was produced from 1984 to 1992. Lotus Jazz on the Apple Macintosh was a sibling product.
I've finally gotten around to trying to scan the barcodes on all of my books. I'm using Library Thing, even though it is trying really hard to be some kind of Clown-based gamified "goodreads" fucktangle when all I want is a local catalog. Anyway, what's the deal with every single paperback book released in the 1990s having a barcode on the back cover that is useless for scanning? Most of the ...

Augmenting Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework - 1962 (AUGMENT,3906,)
Official Copy: Final report of Doug Engelbart's in-depth study on augmenting human intellect and human effectiveness: a unifying framework for what makes us collectively capable and effective, a design strategy for systematically improving this capability, and proposed research agenda. Early research results include these pioneering firsts https://engelbart.org/Firsts. Serving as his guiding vision throughout his career, this report outlines a call to action still relevant today.
