wired.com Andrew Cunningham 2025-12-18 02:15:00

Officially, Microsoft will stop providing new security updates for Windows 10 PCs after October 14, 2025, a little over a decade after its initial release. It's a stick that Microsoft is using to push upgrades to the newer Windows 11, whether you install it on a PC you already have or buy a brand-new PC to meet Windows 11's system requirements. But if you can't or don't want to upgrade to Windows 11, Microsoft has made it reasonably simple to get an extra year of Extended Security Updates (ESUs

Judge Accused of Using AI to Issue Garbled Ruling

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-18 23:02:54

Earlier this month, a federal judge in Mississippi delivered a ruling that was riddled with factual errors, from naming plaintiffs that didn't exist to making up quotes from a state law to citing cases that don't appear to exist. As Mississippi Today reports, US district judge Henry Wingate's baffling temporary restraining order immediately raised concerns that it had been generated by a AI. We've already come across plenty of instances of lawyers getting caught red-handed using tools like Ope

How to clear the cache on your Windows 11 PC (and why it greatly improves performance)

Elyse Betters Picaro/ZDNET If your computer desktop looks a little chaotic and you're noticing some performance slowdown, it might be time to do a cleanup. The best way to keep things running smoothly is to ensure you're running the most updated version of Windows (you'd be surprised how many folks' devices are several updates behind). But if you're up-to-date, there are other things you can do to optimize. Also: A decade of Windows 10: Chaos, Cortana, and conspiracy theories that never panned

Turns Out, Sniffing Your Wine Isn't Just for Show

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-20 12:00:10

Ordering wine can feel like a performance if you're not a seasoned sipper. There's the swirling, the sniffing, the obligatory nod after a tiny pour, and it's easy to assume it's all just for show or to see if you like the wine. But that initial sample isn't about taste at all. It's a quality check. That first pour is your chance to make sure the wine hasn't gone bad. Sometimes, bottles can spoil-especially if they've been improperly stored or have a faulty cork-and the result is something calle

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority Drawing is the oldest form of human expression, dating back to a time far older than writing.

Drawing for the New Yorker

Drawing cartoons is an odd profession, I must admit. But someone has to do it. The New Yorker magazine has run cartoons— or drawings, as they like to call them— since its inception 100 years ago. The editors knew how popular satirical art was, and considered it a crucial part of the nascent publication. Not just decoration; far from it. The art was more successful than the writing in that first year! A lot of the process of creating a drawing of this type involves doodling, a lot of observing,

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Usually, whenever a new feature comes out for Windows, Microsoft advertises it widely in a blog post to let everyone know.
