Each of these is user-friendly and free. Most of these are either Ubuntu-based or independent. Windows 10's end of life is coming in 2025, and that means you have to hope your machine can run Windows 11, buy a new computer, or try something different -- like Linux.

Bluesky finally has a private bookmarking feature

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-07 21:41:10

Bluesky has added a built-in bookmarking feature so users finally have a way to privately save posts on the platform. The update is out now on Bluesky's website and app. Bookmarks on Bluesky work pretty much like they do on any other service. Save a post and you can revisit it later from the "saved posts" section of the app and website. It's overall a basic feature — there's currently no way to organize your saves into folders, for example — but it's a very long overdue addition to the platform

Cybersecurity is a massive sector, but startups in the category are more likely to be acquired than go public. Even Wiz, which for a time held the title of the fastest-growing startup, abandoned its IPO ambitions when it agreed to sell to Google earlier this year. In the past few years, there have been scant few significant cybersecurity debuts such as SentinelOne in 2021, and Rubrik last year.

Tesla Wants Out of the Car Business

Elon Musk still makes some of America’s best electric cars. Earlier this summer, I rented a brand-new, updated Tesla Model Y, the first refresh to the electric SUV since it debuted, in 2020. Compared with even just two years ago, when the Model Y became the world’s best-selling car, many companies make great EVs now. Some of them have the Model Y beat in certain areas, but for the price, the Tesla is still the total package. Now, imagine how good Teslas could be if Musk apparently wasn’t so bor

Here’s How Much More AI-Skilled Workers Make

Employers are increasingly offering pay boosts for workers with artificial intelligence skills, even in roles beyond tech. How much more? We looked at three different studies to see just how much more artificial intelligence skills will pay. According to CNBC, roles specifying AI competencies are trending across job postings, with employers adding salary incentives for candidates who bring the right mix of AI know-how—even in traditionally non-technical roles.

Prehistoric Skull Found Fused to Cave Wall May Have Belonged to Mysterious Ancient Hominid

In 1960, a villager found something terrifyingly creepy in Greece’s Petralona cave—a humanoid cranium with a protrusion on its forehead, fused to the cave wall. Since then, researchers have been trying to date the strange specimen and understand how it got there, but these efforts so far have yielded only a frustratingly broad age range of between around 170,000 and 700,000 years.

Tesla’s ad spend on X has shrunk to almost nothing
