When you click on a broken or deleted link on the internet, your browser displays this famous error code. The first digit indicates that the problem is on the client (user) side, and the remaining two digits indicate the specific nature of the issue: the server is functioning properly, but it can't find the requested page. What is this three-digit code?

We use this technology every day, yet its name and logo have no technical meaning and are not related to radio waves. The technology was developed in the 1990s by the Swedish company Ericsson as a unified standard to replace various cables. Engineer Jim Kardach suggested naming the project after a 10th-century Scandinavian king. This ruler went down in history for uniting disparate, warring tribes—just as the new protocol was intended to unite the disparate communication standards of PCs and mobile phones. The familiar logo for this technology is a ligature (superimposition) of two minorphrenic runes (Hagalaz and Berkana), representing the initials of this king. Name this technology.
Bluetooth (named after King Harald I Bluetooth)

In 1947, operators of the Harvard Mark II electromechanical computer detected a malfunction. The cause turned out to be a real moth that had flown inside the machine and shorted the contacts of one of the electromagnetic relays. The operators removed the insect, taped it to the technical log, and wrote: "First actual case of detection..." What word, used daily by programmers and testers worldwide today, did this historic entry end with?
Bug

In computing, what "C" word describes the process of converting human-readable code into machine-executable instructions?
Compilation (accept "Compile" as the key concept)

You see this element on your computer screen every day. Originally, in 1968, its inventor, Douglas Engelbart, designed it to be strictly vertical, pointing straight up. However, engineers at Xerox PARC later tilted it approximately 45 degrees to the left. This wasn't done for aesthetics, but due to hardware limitations: on the low-resolution monitors of the time, a single-pixel vertical line would be lost against the background text, while a slanted line with clear edges was easier to draw and notice. What interface element are we talking about?
Cursor (mouse arrow)

What is the difference between POST and GET methods in web development?
POST - Hides the data(Registration/login information)
GET - Show the data as part of the URL (Which poses security issue)

In most modern programs (such as Word, Excel, or graphics editors), the "Save" button looks the same. Many students today have never held this item in their hands, even though in the 1990s, it was the primary portable storage medium and held only 1.44 megabytes of data. What exactly does this icon represent?
Floppy disk
