Welcome back, Folks!
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.

Today is Patch Tuesday for June, 2021. There have been another couple dozen major security incidents, as well as some significant revelations impacting health, security and privacy. The latest Windows 10 release, v21H1, is out and it doesn’t change that much. Google has finally stopped their weekly security update cadence, though other vendors (including Microsoft Edge and Brave) have continued.
Welcome back, Folks!
Today is Patch Tuesday for April, 2021. There have been over 50 major hacking incidents, many hardware devices with critical security issues (often these are responsible for the major hacking incidents), and over a hundred updates this month. Almost every browser has released weekly security updates for the last two months. I don’t know about you, but I’m getting kind of sick of it. Finally, there’s an OpenSSL security update this week, so expect many more updates throughout the next month from every vendor that rolls their own encryption.
