Microsoft has found a new use for Reward Points – and another incentive to upload everything you hold dear to someone else's servers. You know the drill by now. Windows 10 is approaching its end of life (although the special LTSC edition has years to go, and we told you how to get it a couple of months ago).

Researchers Pit Stone Age Seafaring Skills Against One of Earth’s Fiercest Currents

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-09-16 01:00:27

Archaeologists estimate that humans first arrived on the Ryukyu Islands off the southwestern coast of Japan sometime between 35,000 and 27,500 years ago. How they did so, however, remains a mystery, especially since they would have had to cross one of the planet’s strongest ocean currents.

Using replicas of tools that existed in the Japanese Archipelago during the Upper Paleolithic (around 50,000
