Welcome back, Folks!

Today is Patch Tuesday for October, 2024.

Windows 11 24H2 is out. So is macOS 15/Sequoia. iOS 18, iPadOS 18, tvOS 18, watchOS 11, and visionOS 11 are out now.  The first set of security updates for each of these are released now, too.

All versions of Windows 11 prior to 23H2 are no longer be supported. Upgrade to 23H2 now, then do not upgrade to 24H2, yet. Let everyone else be the guinea pigs. It’s already showing quite a few issues.

All versions of macOS prior to 13/Ventura are no longer supported. If you can’t upgrade your Mac to Ventura you need to permanently take it offline and/or replace it.

Windows 10 now has only 12 months of support left. If your computer can not be upgraded to Windows 11 either start planning now for a switch to Linux or replacing your computer.

There were 505+ major hacks, and over 395 application updates this month. It’s an enormous month, with about 4 GB of updates for most users.
