Product Minute: EOne Bradley Watch    More than a watch, a classic Time piece.   https://shop.visionaustralia.org/campaigns/eone-bradley-mesh-silver-watch-40mm.html   The Monash Assistive Technology and Society (MATS) Centre is offering two PhD Scholarships. Candidates who identify as having a disability are strongly encouraged to apply.   You can learn about the MATS Centre at: https://www.monash.edu/mats/about   Emerging assistive technologies have the potential to break down many of the barriers that people with disabilities face at school, university, work and in the social sphere. Our work at the MATS Centre is guided by partnerships with the community to ensure we’re addressing real problems faced by real people and creating a lasting impact. Join us as a PhD Candidate and help to create a world that is more inclusive and equitable.   The successful candidate will explore an area of research focus within MATS and the Faculty of Information Technology. The precise details of the PhD project are open to negotiation, but it should be designed with the aim of making a positive difference to the life experience of people with disabilities.   The successful candidates will be based in the Faculty of Information Technology of Monash University at the Caulfield or Clayton campuses in Melbourne.   For more details, please go to: https://careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/job/665632/phd-scholarship-in-assistive-technology-and-disability    Closing Date  Wednesday, 3 July 2024   Microsoft CoPilot Plus PC’s event   Yep, all about AI, and the new hardware to run it on.   https://www.techmeme.com/240521/p17#a240521p17   How to Keep an Old Computer Running   If you just want to use your old computer for mail, web, and perhaps even a media server, then don’t get rid of it.     https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-keep-an-old-computer-running/   Where Are Floppy Disks Today, Yes They Are Still Around   I still remember my first 5.25, then 3.5 floppy disk.
