Happy Veteran’s Day, Folks!

Today is Patch Tuesday for November, 2025.

If your Windows 10 computer can not be upgraded to Windows 11 then you should either replace your device or use the Windows 10 ESU program to get another year out of it.

Windows 11 25H2 is now available and Windows 11 23H2 and older are no longer supported. Treat Windows 11 25H2 as beta software and wait a few months before upgrading.

Welcome back, Folks!

Today is Patch Tuesday for August, 2025.

It’s as safe as it’s going to be to upgrade to Windows 11 24H2 or macOS 15/Sequoia.

If your Windows 10 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 you might be able to use one of the several Windows 10 extended servicing options to get another year out of it.

There were 1150+ major hacks in the last two months (last month is included here), and over 650 application updates this month. It’s an enormous month, with about 6.5 GB of updates for most users.

Happy Easter, Folks!

Today is Patch Tuesday for April, 2025.

It’s as safe as it’s going to be to upgrade to Windows 11 24H2 or macOS 15/Sequoia.

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. Actually, the time was 3 months ago. Pickin’s are thin right now. 🙁

There were 320+ major hacks, and over 360 application updates this month. It’s a relatively small month, with about 2.5 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.
