Whilst there are numerous variants, just a few are or have been in common use. DB-9 (more correctly DE-9) and DB-25 were ubiqitus on home and personal computers as the serial (COM) and paralel ports before being displaced by USB, and DE-15 is still used for VGA video connectors."

A hypervisor may run as an application under a host operating system, or may run on the "bare metal" without an operating system, and hence free to utilise the totality of available computing, memory and peripheral resources." current

This is generally in order to install Linux or some other non-Microsoft operating system instead. In partial reverse defenestration, a Windows istallation may remain in a dual-boot configuration or as a virtual machine but this is not admitted as true reverse defenesttration by purists, who prefer radical reverse defenestration, leaving behind..."

Your browser creates and stores a highly secure secret key and gives the website a corresponding public key. Using the public key and clever cryptographic magic, the website can subsequently prove that your bowser knows the secret key without your browser ever revealing what it is. A limitation is that you can only share passkeys between different platforms (Windows/Apple/..."
