So, the inevitable Microsoft Windows version 10 end of life is finally here. This isn't just a technical deadline, it’s a major risk management event for the hundreds of millions of PCs still running the deprecating OS. Microsoft is forcing a decision: undertake a hardware refresh for Windows 11, accept the risk of running an unsupported version of Windows, or pay for the Extended Security Update reprieve. For many businesses, the hardware simply can't support the new OS, so paying for ESUs becomes the only real option to avoid creating a massive, insecure attack surface. That's what you get for kicking the can... 🦵🥫TL;DR The October 14 security update will be the last for Windows 10. An estimated 600 million users still need to migrate or find a solution. Your two main choices are upgrading to Windows 11 or paying for Extended Security Updates (ESU).️ The ESU enrollment link is rolling out slowly, so you need to be checking for it now, not later.https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2025/09/12/last-update---all-microsoft-windows-10-users-must-act-now/#Windows10 #EndOfLife #Cybersecurity #ITManagement #Microsoft #security #privacy #cloud #infosec #EoL

I've seen people sharing photoshoped picture of George Floyd but with Kirk face, but to me this feels awful what did poor George did to you?Idk, maybe I am not right person to talk about this, what #BlackMastodon think, idk to me seems kinda racist towards George idk...

I am fed up of fucking "AI Employee" ads.AI is not magic. AI can handle specific things with strong human guidance. The outcome of blindly trusting "AI Employees" will be shitty user experience at best, and outright disaster at worst.But these companies don't care.It doesn't hurt them.

I want to talk about the fact that people in #Alberta need to pay $100 and book an appointment for getting the covid vaccine now. I've seen news reports talking about there being pushback about it, even protests apparently, but nothing specific. I also can't find any information about any efforts to organize any such thing. Even searching here on Mastodon has turned up very little in terms of people even talking about it. Yes, there's plenty of other problems we are having to deal with now, but this needs attention too. I haven't searched the mainstream social media sites as I'm not on them. Is there anything going on there?I can't afford this fee, so to me that just says that our government doesn't care if I die or end up a burden on the health care system. This is punitive on poor people, not to mention adding risk to all other people, especially the immunocompromised. I don't know what if any actions will have any effect, but we have to at least try. Who else is as upset about this as I am?

I hate websites that only have dark mode if you sign in. Sometimes they even default to the system theme when you’re logged in, but force light mode when logged out. What the fuck? What? Why? Just don’t. Ever. If you have a functioning theming system that you enable by default for logged in users, enable it by default for everyone and auto-sync the theme (unless maybe you have a very specific colour scheme important to your content—but you still should have the themes for #accessibility) #webdev

Well maybe we pushed that watershed moment down the street a bit.With it coming out that Kirk was assassinated by an even further right person, let's see how many days before everyone collectively moves on.Trump is already deflecting questions and changing the subject when asked how he feels about Kirk passing. All the politicians that were openly calling for vengeance against "the left" are now downplaying and calling for understanding.Silliness. Proper silliness.
