Solar Bytes - August 2024
August is here, and that means it’s time for many folks out there (or their kids) to return to school. Good luck to all those out there returning to study or supporting someone else through it. As we in IT know, we’re never done learning, so I hope everyone out there takes the time to learn something simply for the joy of it.
