Welcome back, Folks!
Today is Patch Tuesday for July, 2025.
It’s as safe as it’s going to be to upgrade to Windows 11 24H2 or macOS 15/Sequoia.
There were over 200 application updates this month. It’s a very small month, with only about 1.5 GB of updates for most users.

If your Windows 10 (or older) computer can not be upgraded to Windows 11, or if you used a registry or installation bypass to install an older version of Windows 11 on it that is no longer supported, then it’s time for you to start looking for a replacement computer.
There were 418+ major hacks, and over 260 application updates this month. It’s a mild month, with only about 2 GB of updates for most users.
Happy Valentines, Folks!

Actually, that time was about 5 weeks ago. Pickin’s are thin right now. 🙁
There were 275+ major hacks, and over 640 application updates this month. It shouldn’t be that bad though, with about 3.5 GB of updates for most users.
Merry Christmas, Folks!
Today is Patch Tuesday for December, 2024.
I recommend waiting one more month before upgrading to Windows 11 24H2 or macOS 15/Sequoia.
Windows 10 will be end-of-life in only 10 months. If your Windows 10 (or older) computer can not be upgraded to Windows 11, or if you used a registry or installation bypass to install an older version of Windows 11 on it that is no longer supported, then it’s time for you to start looking for a replacement computer. Windows 10 now has only 10 months of support left and by April it will be challenging to find a good and inexpensive replacement computer that will be supported for Windows 11. Christmas sales are on now. There’s not going to be any better time in the next year.
There were 730+ major hacks, and over 270 application updates this month. It’s a small month with about 2.0 GB of updates for most users.
Happy Thanksgiving, Folks!
Today is Patch Tuesday for November, 2024.
Hold the line: do not upgrade to 24H2 yet. There have been quite a few issues. Let everyone else be the guinea pigs.
Windows 10 now has only 11 months of support left. If your computer can not be upgraded to Windows 11 either start planning for a switch to Linux or replacing your computer.
There are critical security updates for all supported Apple products and (as is now the norm) new critical security updates for every browser every single week.
QuickBooks Desktop 2025 will be released later this month, and on November 1st all previous versions of QuickBooks Desktop will be end-of-life (EOL).
Windows Server 2025 has been released. And it’s “accidentally” being force-installed on recent Windows Server builds.
Entrust certificates are being disavowed as soon as today. There have been months to prepare, but this will still kill off about 0.1% of active SSL certificates.
There were 645+ major hacks and over 525 application updates this month.
It’s a huge month, with about 5 GB of updates for most users.
