    Too bad the applications were written on COBOL while I was in high school (Some sarcasm). Even to enter my time I have to use the old school IE browser because Edge can’t render the site properly and it has to be virtualized because windows 10 can’t launch it correctly once something works corporations are slow to change we’d have to get new apps made tested and then internally reviewed then issue new devices and see pushback from older employees who always sabotage new device and software launches. There’s a woman still working on a Windows 98 machine that has to be air-gapped and manually brought emails and files by hand because she threatens to quite if she is forced to update (She does have an obscure PHD and makes the company tons of money with her analysis work so they appease her)

      Its scary how many financial systems STILL use COBOL. My old hospital did up until 2020…
