Nostalgia meets technology: A look back from Spectrum and Amstrad to PCs of the 2000s (Episode 19)
Welcome to this episode of our podcast, where we'll be taking a bit of a trip down the memory lane to our early computing days. Basically, you can treat this episode as an "Intro to computers and computing" from less-than-adult kids who were born in the late 70s/beginning of the 80s. Back then, the world of computing was a vastly different place than it is today. Computers were not as widespread as they are now, and there was much to learn about these new, exciting machines.

PowerShell horror stories: Has Microsoft lost its CLI mojo? (Episode 17)
In this episode, we will explore the problems and inconsistencies of PowerShell and its ability to crash Active Directory for some unknown reason. We consider PowerShell to be a very powerful tool that can greatly simplify system administration tasks, but its unpredictable nature can lead to disastrous consequences, like complete Active Directory crash. Furthermore, to illustrate the inconsistencies of PowerShell, we will examine examples of Hyper-V and its integration with PowerShell. We will demonstrate how even small variations in PowerShell commands can have a significant impact on Hyper-V administration.

Perpetual Licenses: A Dying Breed or a Hidden Gem? (Episode 16)
Subscription and perpetual licenses are two models for software licensing today. In a lot of cases, we can choose between perpetual or subscription-based licensing - but not always. Subscription licenses allow users to pay a recurring fee for a specified period of time, typically monthly or annually. Perpetual licenses, on the other hand, require a one-time upfront payment for the software license, which can be used indefinitely.
