86Box crashes on startup of any virtual machine
86Box crashes on startup without showing any message, no matter the hardware or operating system being emulated and 86Box build, either stable, experimental or old/new dynamic recompiler. Created an issue on GitHub but the dev who replied said he couldn't reproduce it.

Virtual Machine for old childhood Rom games
For emulation, you can look into PCem/86Box

Fake recruiter Lazarus lured aerospace employee with trojanized coding challenge
Unsurprising, of the 300 staffing agencies in our area only 23 are actually licensed to legally operate as a service. Trying to authenticate which are "fake" or "real" is a thread most companies/applicants rather not pull.
There is also the fake-hire scam: where staff are lured away with a lucrative compensation packages, data-mined by the competitor, and finally jettisoned before the evaluation period expires (typically 6 to 10 months).
A few infected PDFs from various bad actors are also floating around out there with exaggerated promises.
Keep safe, and note 86box supports read-only backing images and sessions Like Bochs/kvm:

Where does PCem store the Hard disk you create? I want to move it to a different location and can't find it.
Features are implemented much, much faster, especially if you use nightly builds. Always adding hardware. You can look at the changelog: https://github.com/86Box/86Box/releases

86box crashing when using shaders?
Shaders are a rather young feature in 86box and very incomplete (only single pass shaders supported for now). I am not surprised they crash. Please report the bug to https://github.com/86Box/86Box/issues

I’m wondering if someone would be interested in helping my get an old windows 95 game to run.
Another solution is to emulate a win95 old pc. It works great and the compatibility is very very high. Try out 86Box. There is a process to set it up and install Windows, but it is worth it for playing stubborn games.

Getting vintage (old world) Linux distro’s installed on modern virtualization software impossible?
You want 86Box, a full PC emulator as opposed to a virtual machine.
