zdnet.com Ed Bott 2026-03-04 03:00:19

hxdbzxy / Getty Images With just a few months remaining until the Windows 10 end-of-support date, Microsoft seems to have belatedly realized that owners of tens of millions of consumer PCs running Windows 10 aren't ready to replace their old computers, and they're also not about to fork over $30 for a one-year Extended Security Updates (ESU) subscription. So today, the company waved the white flag and announced new "free enrollment options" for the ESU program, along with a description of the

Employers are drowning in AI-generated job applications, with LinkedIn now processing 11,000 submissions per minute—a 45 percent surge from last year, according to new data reported by The New York Times. Due to AI, the traditional hiring process has become overwhelmed with automated noise. It's the résumé equivalent of AI slop—call it "hiring slop," perhaps—that currently haunts social media and the web with sensational pictures and misleading information.

Dbrand responds to Joy-Con issue with Killswitch Switch 2 case, blames user grip

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2026-03-05 12:16:00

A hot potato: Dbrand, the peripheral company with a long and often sweary history, has taken an iPhone 4-like approach to complaints that its popular Switch 2 case causes the Joy-Cons to detach easily. It says this only happens when people hold the new Switch the wrong way. Some users of Dbrand's Killswitch Switch 2 case have been complaining that it causes the console's Joy-Cons to detach too easily. The Switch 2 has a small gap between the body of the Joy-Cons and the main console. Nintendo

The New ‘Weapons’ Trailer Promises ‘a Lot of People Die in a Lot of Really Weird Ways’

So far the marketing for Weapons is looking like 2025’s slightly more accessible answer to last year’s Longlegs: freaky and distressing, and promising exponentially more of the same from the feature itself. A first trailer gave a little more insight into the movie’s plot, and a retro-styled website plays up its true-crime angle. Now Weapons is back with a second clip to set the dread-filled mood even more. We see a bewildered teacher (Julia Garner) being blamed for a class of missing kids, with
