Ready to ditch Windows? 'End of 10' makes converting your PC to Linux easier than ever

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-09-24 04:21:00

End of 10 Windows 10, it's almost time to bid you adieu. Support ends soon, and many of those PCs simply aren't powerful enough to run the successor to what has been one of the most widely used desktop OSes on the planet. But users have choices. They can purchase a new computer, one with enough oomph to run Windows 11 (an expensive proposition in an unstable economy). They can run the risk of using an unsupported OS (not wise in a world that is getting ever more dangerous). They can install

BBC threatens AI firm with legal action over unauthorised content use

Chatbots and image generators that can generate content response to simple text or voice prompts in seconds have swelled in popularity since OpenAI launched ChatGPT in late 2022. But their rapid growth and improving capabilities has prompted questions about their use of existing material without permission. Much of the material used to develop generative AI models has been pulled from a massive range of web sources using bots and crawlers, which automatically extract site data. The rise in th

Gigabyte Radeon RX 9060 XT Review: Great Value Gaming

It's AMD's turn. After months of $2,000+ GPUs and long discussions of DLSS, we're finally on the red team's turf. AMD's strength historically lies at the budget end of the spectrum, where the majority of gamers are playing at 1080p, and spending $1,000 or less for their entire system. Even though we really recommend splurging on a GPU, that's just not the reality for most folks. An $800 GPU needs $1,200 in other parts, and at that point most people who aren't into PC gaming will start shopping

Low-wage support workers become a new gateway for cyberattacks

Editor's take: As businesses increasingly rely on outsourced tech support to cut costs, the risks associated with these operations are coming into sharper focus. The threat is no longer just about technical vulnerabilities; it's about the people behind the screens, and the growing pressure they face from both economic hardship and sophisticated cybercriminals.

How much will you trust an AI chatbot powered by Meta to be your friend? Answers to this may vary. Even if you won’t, other people are already making close connections with “AI companions” or “falling in love” with ChatGPT. The rise of “cognitive offloading”—of people asking AI to do their critical thinking for them—is already well underway, with many high school and college students admitting to a deep reliance on the technology.
