Welcome back, Folks!
Today is Patch Tuesday for August, 2023.
This month brings a whole bucket of ugly, and a reminder that fixing a bug is not the same thing as fixing the software. Every common browser released at least a security update each week for the last month, with Firefox maxing out sanity tests by releasing five (5) security updates in a mere ten (10) days. I warned about this years ago.
There were over 160 major hacks (some involving millions of users and thousands of organizations, one involving billions of users, Microsoft’s own security keys), and over 200 application updates this month. It’s a huge month, with about 4 GB of updates for most users.

Today is Patch Tuesday for May, 2023.
This month brings news that the current stable release of Windows 10 will be the last version released until it is end of life (EOL) in October 2025. This means it is mature and won’t have annoying operating system changes on a regular basis, unlike Windows 11. There were over 150 major hacks, and over 215 application updates this month. All in all it’s a big month, with about 3.5 GB of updates for most users.
