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.

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.

Winlator: Android app that lets you to run Windows apps with Wine
Not exactly what you were asking, but winevdm [0] does use code from Wine to run 16-bit Windows applications on 64-bit Windows installs that don't support it natively (via ntvdm).

This, along with Windows's own compatibility mode tweaks, should run almost any game that has ever been released on Windows.

Free Tech Tools and Resources - Mac Scrolling, Load Testing, Win Server Switch Tip & More
You can repeat this command as many times as you need to for additional records. More information can be found here. Total downtime in a VMWare environment is less than five minutes, barring any DNS server replication in play." Yet Another Free Tool winevdm enables you to keep old Windows programs on life support by running 16-bit Windows (1.x, 2.x, 3.0, 3.1, etc.) on a 64-bit Windows system. Ojakobe explains, "Had a special case of a user who clung to their Windows 7 PC because their work was reliant on a 16-bit program from 1997 (and even on 7 it didn't run properly). Used the program above to make it run reliably on 10." One Final Free Tool LocalAI is a self-hosted, OpenAI-compatible API that allows you to run language learning models locally or on-prem using consumer-grade hardware without the need for GPUs. This RESTful API supports multiple model families that are compatible with ggml format. Our thanks go to mudler_it for this one.

Anyone know how to get ActiveSync on windows 10?
After that you should now be able to install software. One final sticking point is that some older programs are wrapped up in 16-bit installers, however these can be installed by running the installer with something like otvdm.

Why won't this run on my windows 11 pc?
Try WineVDM because NTvdm never got a port to 64-bit since the CPU mode it relied on for fast 16-bit code execution gets disabled when a x86 processor is switched into long mode. WineVDM is likely translating 16-bit instruction calls to 32-bit and then passing that off to Windows
