I can't believe it. I have to install Windows 10 so I can safely flash my laptop BIOS so I can install Linux again.

Social scientists are trying now to get a handle on "Generation Z," the one after Millennials (known as "Y"). Their profiles sound similar to Y. Hmmm. Not enough time elapsed yet to make a firm demarcation?

Research question time...

A lot of old journals from France in the 19th century are numerated like "4e année, № 844, ...".

I'm unsure what the année (year) part is supposed to mean. It's not the year the journal has been publishing since the beginning (i.e. it's not a 'since 1895...' kind of thing.

Anyone know what that year part is referring to?

Of course, if you're using an early '00s Apple Mac that uses a PowerPC processor you can sit smugly on your ancient machine that can't run YouTube 😂
